Answer: (b)

Explanation:

Given

Mass of box $m=17\ kg$

Applied force $F=175\ N$

Friction force $f=-125\ N$

Box travels a distance of $s=15\ m$

time taken $t=5.25\ s$

Net unbalanced force $F_{net}=175-125=50\ N$

Work done by the unbalanced force

$\Rightarrow W=F_{un}\cdot s\\\Rightarrow W=50\times 15\\\Rightarrow W=750\ N$

Power developed by unbalanced force

$\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{W}{t}\\\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{750}{5.25}\\\\\Rightarrow P=142.85\approx 1423\ W$

Thus, option (b) is correct.

5. Which unit of electricity does the work in a circuit?

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Volt

Explanation:

Voltage is what makes electric charges move. ... Voltage is also called, in certain circumstances, electromotive force (EMF). Voltage is an electrical potential difference, the difference in electric potential between two places. The unit for electrical potential difference, or voltage, is the volt.

The ohm is defined as an electrical resistance between two points of a conductor when a constant potential difference of one volt, applied to these points, produces in the conductor a current of one ampere, the conductor not being the seat of any electromotive force.

The coulomb (symbolized C) is the standard unit of electric charge in the International System of Units (SI). ... In terms of SI base units, the coulomb is the equivalent of one ampere-second. Conversely, an electric current of A represents 1 C of unit electric charge carriers flowing past a specific point in 1 s.

An ampere is a unit of measure of the rate of electron flow or current in an electrical conductor. One ampere of current represents one coulomb of electrical charge (6.24 x 1018 charge carriers) moving past a specific point in one second.

A train whistle is heard at 300 Hz as the train approaches town. The train cuts its speed in half as it nears the station, and t

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The speed of the train before and after slowing down is 22.12 m/s and 11.06 m/s, respectively.

Explanation:

We can calculate the speed of the train using the Doppler equation:

$f = f_{0}\frac{v + v_{o}}{v - v_{s}}$

Where:

f₀: is the emitted frequency

f: is the frequency heard by the observer

v: is the speed of the sound = 343 m/s

$v_{o}$ : is the speed of the observer = 0 (it is heard in the town)

$v_{s}$ : is the speed of the source =?

The frequency of the train before slowing down is given by:

$f_{b} = f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{b}}}$ (1)

Now, the frequency of the train after slowing down is:

$f_{a} = f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{a}}}$ (2)

Dividing equation (1) by (2) we have:

$\frac{f_{b}}{f_{a}} = \frac{f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{b}}}}{f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{a}}}}$

$\frac{f_{b}}{f_{a}} = \frac{v - v_{s_{a}}}{v - v_{s_{b}}}$ (3)

Also, we know that the speed of the train when it is slowing down is half the initial speed so:

$v_{s_{b}} = 2v_{s_{a}}$ (4)

Now, by entering equation (4) into (3) we have:

$\frac{f_{b}}{f_{a}} = \frac{v - v_{s_{a}}}{v - 2v_{s_{a}}}$

$\frac{300 Hz}{290 Hz} = \frac{343 m/s - v_{s_{a}}}{343 m/s - 2v_{s_{a}}}$

By solving the above equation for $v_{s_{a}}$ we can find the speed of the train after slowing down:

$v_{s_{a}} = 11.06 m/s$

Finally, the speed of the train before slowing down is:

$v_{s_{b}} = 11.06 m/s*2 = 22.12 m/s$

Therefore, the speed of the train before and after slowing down is 22.12 m/s and 11.06 m/s, respectively.

I hope it helps you!

what do you mean by momentum? avehicle is runing with a velocity of 5m/s. it the momentum of the vehicle is 5000kg m/s. what is

Fantom [35]

Momentum is simply a quantity that measures the impact of a moving body over something is due to the mass it posseses or the velocity with which it is moving. Mathematically,ut is the product of mass and velocity of a body. It is represented by capital p...(P) P=mv Solution to the problem: we know P=mv For mass,eliminate m from the equation, m=P/v Put values, m=5000/5=1000kg
