Answer:

a' = 2a

Explanation:

The acceleration during this circular motion is the centripetal acceleration. Initially, the acceleration will be given as:

a = v²/r   --------------------- equation (1)

Where,

a = centripetal acceleration at outer edge

v = speed of merry go round = 5 m/s

r = distance from center of round to person (outer edge)

Now, when the person moves half way towards center. Then, the acceleration becomes:

a' = v²/r'

where,

r' = r/2

Therefore,

a' = v²/(r/2)

a' = 2v²/r

using equation (1):

<u>a' = 2a </u>

Which one of the following energy conversion devices has the lowest energy efficiency?
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

A) incandescent ligth bulb, its efficiency is about 10%

Explanation:

The incandescent bulb, that is, the well-known focus with its warm light, was one of the most useful inventions of the 19th century although its use is currently considered very inefficient. These lamps waste between 80 and 90 percent of the total electricity they consume by turning it into heat. The metal filament thus heated and which is the central part of the bulb, only converts the remaining energy into light. Its service life ranges from 750 to 1,000 hours.

This is why they are used in ovens for food preparation, because of the large amount of heat they generate.

The steam boiler in a power plant depends on the fuel that it is using, but a coal-fired power plant with modern technology its efficiency is about 40%

Electric motor are around 85-92%

In order to better understand the concept of efficiency it is as if we pay 100 dollars of gasoline for our weekly use, but of that 100 dollars the car only uses 10 dollars to do that activity the rest of the money the 90 dollars were lost because of the inefficiencies of the vehicle.

An electron is released from rest in a weak electric field given by E =-2.30 x 10-10 N/Cj. After the electron has traveled a ver
Goshia [24]

Explanation:

It is given that,

An electron is released from rest in a weak electric field of, E=2.3\times 10^{-10}\ N/C

Vertical distance covered, s=1\ \mu m=10^{-6}\ m

We need to find the speed of the electron. Let its speed is v. Using third equation of motion as :

v^2-u^2=2as

v^2=2as.............(1)

Electric force is F_e and force of gravity is F_g. As both forces are acting in downward direction. So, total force is:

F=mg+qE

F=9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 9.8+1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 2.3\times 10^{-10}

F=4.57\times 10^{-29}\ N

Acceleration of the electron, a=\dfrac{F}{m}

a=\dfrac{4.57\times 10^{-29}\ N}{9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg}

a=50.21\ m/s^2

Put the value of a in equation (1) as :

v=\sqrt{2as}

v=\sqrt{2\times 50.21\times 10^{-6}}

v = 0.010 m/s

So, the speed of the electron is 0.010 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
