The unit of energy is a derived unit​
Tems11 [23]

Explanation:

<em>Hi</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>there</em><em>!</em><em>!</em>

<em>Energy</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>defined</em><em> </em><em>as</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>capacity</em><em> </em><em>or</em><em> </em><em>ability</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>do</em><em> </em><em>work</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>It's</em><em> </em><em>SI</em><em> </em><em>unit</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>Joule</em><em>.</em>

<em>here</em><em>,</em>

<em>Joule</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>kg</em><em>×</em><em>m</em><em>×</em><em>m</em><em>)</em><em>/</em><em>(</em><em>s</em><em>×</em><em>s</em><em>)</em>

<em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>kg</em><em>×</em><em>m</em><em>^</em><em>2</em><em>/</em><em>s</em><em>^</em><em>2</em><em>.</em>

<em>Therefore</em><em>, </em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>derived</em><em> </em><em>unit</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>kg</em><em>.</em><em>m</em><em>^</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>s</em><em>^</em><em>2</em><em>.</em>

Of all the planets in our solar system, Jupiter has the greatest gravitational strength. If a 1.5 kg pair of running shoes would
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

gₓ = 23.1 m/s²

Explanation:

The weight of an object is on the surface of earth is given by the following formula:

W = mg

where,

W = Weight of the object on surface of earth

m = mass of object

g = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth = strength of gravity on the surface of earth

Similarly, the weight of the object on Jupiter will be given as:

W_{x} = mg_{x}

where,

Wₓ = Weight of the object on surface of Jupiter = 34.665 N

m = mass of object = 1.5 kg

gₓ = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Jupiter = strength of gravity on the surface of Jupiter = ?

Therefore,

34.65 N = (1.5 kg)g_{x}

g_{x} = \frac{34.65 N}{1.5 kg}

<u>gₓ = 23.1 m/s²</u>

A piece of wire 29 m long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into an equilateral tria
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Total length of the wire is 29 m.

Let the length of one piece is d and of another piece is 29 - d.

Let d is used to make a square.

And 29 - d is used to make an equilateral triangle.

(a)

Area of square = d²

Area of equilateral triangle = √3(29 - d)²/4

Total area,

A = d^{2}+\frac{\sqrt3}{4}\left ( 29-d \right )^{2}

Differentiate both sides with respect to d.

\frac{dA}{dt}=2d- \frac{\sqrt3}{4}\times 2(29-d)

For maxima and minima, dA/dt = 0

d = 8.76 m

Differentiate again we get the

\frac{d^{2}A}{dt^{2}}= + ve

(a) So, the area is maximum when the side of square is 29 m

(b) so, the area is minimum when the side of square is 8.76 m

. A newly discovered planet has three times the mass and five times the radius of Earth. What is the ratio of the acceleration d
NikAS [45]

Answer:

0.12

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity of a planet with mass M and radius R is given as:

g = (G*M) / R²

Where G is gravitational constant.

The mass of the planet M = 3 times the mass of earth = 3 * 5.972 * 10^24 kg

The radius of the planet R = 5 times the radius of earth = 5 * 6.371 * 10^6 m

Therefore:

g(planet) = (6.67 * 10^(-11) * 3 * 5.972 * 10^24) / (5 * 6.371 * 10^6)²

g(planet) = 1.18 m/s²

Therefore ratio of acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet, g(planet) to acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet, g(earth) is:

g(planet)/g(earth) = 1.18/9.8 = 0.12

99 POINTS!!!!
Papessa [141]
The situation given above can be answered through the concept of the First Law of thermodynamics which states that the change in internal energy is equal to the difference between the work done and the heat added to the system. The work done by the object is negative and the heat added is positive.
             change in internal energy = -500J + 1400 J = 900 J
