Is the mechanical form of power different from the electrical form? Why?

1 answer:

4 0

The potential energy of the charges due to the voltage between the terminals is converted to kinetic energy in the device. These devices are called passive components or loads; they 'consume' electric power from the circuit, converting it to other forms of energy such as mechanical work, heat, light, etc.

sergejj [24]

Answer:

The pressure at the top of the step is 129.303 kilopascals.

Explanation:

From Hydrostatics we find that the pressure difference between extremes of the water column is defined by the following formula, which is a particular case of the Bernoulli's Principle ( $v_{bottom}\approx v_{top}$ ):

$p_{bottom}-p_{top} = \rho\cdot g\cdot \Delta h$ (1)

$p_{bottom}$ , $p_{top}$ - Total pressures at the bottom and at the top, measured in pascals.

$\rho$ - Density of the water, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

$\Delta h$ - Height difference of the step, measured in meters.

If we know that $p_{bottom} = 132000\,Pa$ , $\rho = 1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $\Delta h = 0.275\,m$ , then the pressure at the top of the step is:

$p_{top} = p_{bottom}-\rho\cdot g\cdot \Delta h$

$p_{top} = 132000\,Pa-\left(1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (0.275\,m)$

$p_{top} = 129303.075\,Pa$

$p_{top} = 129.303\,kPa$

The pressure at the top of the step is 129.303 kilopascals.

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The explorer should travel to reach base camp to 5.02 Km at 4.28° south of due west.

Explanation:

Using trigonometric function like Sen(Ф), Cos(Ф) and Tan(Ф) we can get distance and direction that the explorer should travel to reach base camp. When we discompound the vector $X = 7.8*Cos(50) = 5.01 Km$ y $y = 7.8 * Sen (50) - 5.6 = 5.975 - 5.6 (Km) = 0.375 (Km)$ so that $Tan (\alpha ) = \frac{0.375}{5.01} = 4.28$ ; $\alpha = Arctang (\frac{0.375}{5.01}) = 4.28 (degree)$ to get how far we use Pythagorean theorem so $R^{2} = x^{2}+y^{2}$ so that $R=\sqrt{0.375^{2}+5.01^{2} } =5.02 (Km)$

The texture of obsidian is best described as glassy.Why does obsidian contain few or no mineral grains? by the way I put it unde

Brrunno [24]

hi, so the material that would normally form mineral crystals does not have time to form a crystalline structure because of very rapid cooling after volcanically erupting into the air or onto the surface. Obsidian is a volcanic glass.
