You mean like a box sitting on a table.
One force is the force of gravity, pulling downward on the box.
Now, you know that the forces acting on the box must be balanced, because
if they're not, then the box would be accelerating. But it's just sitting there, so
there must be some other force, just exactly the right strength and direction to
exactly cancel the force of gravity on the box, so that the net force on it is zero.
The other force is the force of the table pushing upward on the box. It's called
the "normal force".
Answer:
Thermopile is an electronic device that converts thermal energy into electrical energy.
A Peltier cooler, heater, or thermoelectric heat pump is a solid-state active heat pump which transfers heat from one side of the device to the other, with consumption of electrical energy, depending on the direction of the current.
Answer: machine's efficiency = 82.2%
Explanation:
Efficiency of a machine is the capability of a machine to convert input to output without waste.
It can be expressed as
Efficiency = output/ input × 100%
Output = 7,023N
Imput = 8,542N
Efficiency = 7,023N/8,542N × 100%
Efficiency = 82.2%
Answer:
<em>2 m/s</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
The electromagnetic flow-metre work on the principle of electromagnetic induction. The induced voltage is given as
where 
is the induced voltage = 2.88 mV = 2.88 x 10^-3 V
is the distance between the electrodes in this field which is equivalent to the diameter of the tube = 1.2 cm = 1.2 x 10^-2 m
is the velocity of the fluid through the field = ?
is the magnetic field = 0.120 T
substituting, we have
2.88 x 10^-3 = 0.120 x 1.2 x 10^-2 x
2.88 x 10^-3 = 1.44 x 10^-3 x
= 2.88/1.44 = <em>2 m/s</em>
Answer:
<em>Explanation below</em>
Explanation:
<u>Speed vs Velocity
</u>
These are two similar physical concepts. They only differ in the fact that the velocity is vectorial, i.e. having magnitude and direction, and the speed is scalar, just the magnitude regardless of the direction. They are strongly related to the concepts of displacement and distance, which are the vectorial and scalar versions of the space traveled by a moving object. The velocity can be computed as
Where 
is the position vector and t is the time. The speed is
To compute , we only need to know the initial and final positions and subtract them. To compute d, we need to add all the distances traveled by the object, regardless of their directions.
Maggie walks to a friend's house, located 1500 meters from her place. The initial position is 0 and the final position is 1500 m. The displacement is
and the velocity is
Now, we know Maggie had to make three different turns of direction to finally get there. This means her distance is more than 1500 m. Let's say she walked 500 m in all the turns, then the distance is
If she took the same time to reach her destiny, she would have to run faster, because her average speed is
