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.

A slanted vector has a magnitude of 41 N and is at an angle of 23 degrees north of east. What are the magnitude and direction of
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The horizontal component is 37.74 N to east

The vertical component is 16.02 N to North

Explanation:

Any slant vector has two components

→ Horizontal component = R cos Ф

→ Vertical component = R sin Ф

→ R is the magnitude of the vector

→ Ф is the direction of the vector with positive part of the horizontal axis

A slanted vector has a magnitude of 41 N and is at an angle of 23

degrees north of east

23° north of east means the angle between the vector and the

east direction is 23° (east is the positive horizontal direction)

That means R is 41 N and Ф is 23°

→ R = 41 N , Ф = 23°

→ The horizontal component = 41 × cos(23) = 37.74 N east

→ The vertical component = 41 × sin(23) = 16.02 N North

<em>The horizontal component is 37.74 N to east</em>

<em>The vertical component is 16.02 N to North</em>

Which of the following is an example of heat convection?
lora16 [44]
I believe it’s a liquid inside a beaker on a hot Bunsen burner (c)

This is because : Everyday Examples of Convection
Boiling water - The heat passes from the burner into the pot, heating the water at the bottom. Then, this hot water rises and cooler water moves down to replace it, causing a circular motion. Radiator - Puts warm air out at the top and draws in cooler air at the bottom.

Not sure if it’s right tho!

A small object of mass 3.82 g and charge -16.5 µC is suspended motionless above the ground when immersed in a uniform electric f
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

2271.16N/C  upward

Explanation:

The diagram well illustrate all the forces acting on the mass. The weight is acting downward and the force is acting upward in other to balance the weight.since the question says it is motionless, then indeed the forces are balanced.

First we determine the downward weight using

W=mg\\g=9.81m/s^{2}

Hence for a mass of 3.82g 0r 0.00382kg we have the weight to be

W=0.00382kg*9.81m/s^{2}

W=0.0375N

To calculate the electric field,

E=f/q\\E=0.0375/16.5*10^{-6} \\E=2271.16N/C

Since the charge on the mass is negative, in order to generate upward force, there must be a like charge below it that is  repelling it, Hebce we can conclude that the electric field lines are upward.

Hence the magnitude of the electric force is 2271.16N/C and the direction is upward

In a large centrifuge used for training pilots and astronauts, a small chamber is fixed at the end of a rigid arm that rotates i
RSB [31]

a) The length of the arm of the centrifuge is 10.9 m

b) The angular acceleration is 2.7 rad/s^2

Explanation:

a)

In a uniform circular motion, the centripetal acceleration is given by

a_c=\omega^2 r

where:

\omega is the angular speed of the circular motion

r is the radius of the circle

For the centrifuge in this problem, we have:

\omega=1.7 rad/s is the angular speed

The centripetal acceleration is 3.2 times the acceleration due to gravity (g=9.8 m/s^2), so:

a_c=3.2 g = 3.2(9.8)=31.4 m/s^2

Therefore, we can re-arrange the previous equation to find r, the radius of the circle (which corresponds to the length of the arm of the centrifuge):

r=\frac{a_c}{\omega^2}=\frac{31.4}{1.7^2}=10.9 m

b)

In the second part of the exercise, the centrifuge speeds up from an initial angular speed of 0 to a final angular speed of 1.7 rad/s. The total acceleration experienced at the final moment is

a=4.4 g

So, 4.4 times the acceleration due to gravity.

The total acceleration is the resultant of the centripetal acceleration (a_c) and the tangential acceleration (a_t):

a=\sqrt{a_c^2+a_t^2}

We know that:

a = 4.4g

a_c = 3.2 g

So, we can find the tangential acceleration:

a_t = \sqrt{a^2-a_c^2}=\sqrt{(4.4g)^2-(3.2g)^2}=29.6 m/s^2

The angular acceleration is related to the tangential acceleration by

\alpha = \frac{a_t}{r}

where r = 10.9 m is the length of the centrifuge. Substituting,

\alpha = \frac{29.6}{10.9}=2.7 rad/s^2
