Answer:

the work converted to thermal energy is 40 J.

Explanation:

Given;

work done by the physicist,w = 100 J

height through which the book is raised, h = 0.2 m

efficiency of machine = 60% = 0.6

The useful work done by the machine is calculated as;

useful work = 0.6 x 100 = 60 J

The wasted energy = 100 J - 60 J

The wasted energy = 40 J

The wasted energy by the machine is possibly converted to thermal energy by the frictional part of the machine.

Therefore, the work converted to thermal energy is 40 J.

An electric field of intensity 3.7 kN/C is applied along the x-axis. Calculate the electric flux through a rectangular plane 0.3
jekas [21]

Answer:

a)906.5 Nm^2/C

b) 0

c) 742.56132 N•m^2/C

Explanation:

a) The plane is parallel to the yz-plane.

We know that

flux ∅= EAcosθ

3.7×1000×0.350×0.700=906.5 N•m^2/C

(b) The plane is parallel to the xy-plane.

here theta = 90 degree

therefore,

0  N•m^2/C

(c) The plane contains the y-axis, and its normal makes an angle of 35.0° with the x-axis.

therefore, applying the flux formula we get

3.7×1000×0.3500×0.700×cos35°= 742.56132 N•m^2/C

Astronaut Rob leaves Earth in a spaceship at a speed of 0.960c relative to an observer on Earth. Rob's destination is a star sys
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

A) 15.0 years

Explanation:

Due to the distance to the star system is in light-year units, we can compute the time by using:

t=\frac{d}{v}=\frac{14.4 l-y}{0.960}=15l-y

then, Rob will take to complete the trip about 15 light-years.

hope this helps!!

What are the units of measure for distance?
olga2289 [7]
The most common unit is meters (m for short). It is the base unit for distance or displacement in the metric system. If you are dealing with larger distances, you might use kilometers (I'm for short) which is just 1000 meters. On the other hand, centimeter (cm) are used for small distances and are 1/100 of a meter. Another common unit is millimeters (mm) which is 1/1000 of a meter.
