Answer:

17.6 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

$v_{f}$ = 90 m/s (final velocity)

$v_{i}$ = 2 m/s (initial velocity)

Δt = 5s (change in time)

The formula for acceleration is:

$a_{avg}$ = Δv / Δt

We can find Δv by doing

Δv = $v_{f}$ - $v_{i}$

Replace the values

Δv = 90m/s - 2m/s

Δv= 88m/s

Using the equation from earlier, we can find the acceleration by dividing the average velocity by time.

$a_{avg}$ = Δv / Δt

$a_{avg}$ = $\frac{88m/s}{5/s}$

acceleration = 17.6 $m/s^{2}$

Compare the energy consumption of two commonly used items in the household. Calculate the energy used by a 1.40 kW toaster oven,

andrew-mc [135]

Energy = (power) x (time)

-- For the toaster:

Power = 1.4 kW = 1,400 watts

Time = 5.4 minutes = 324 seconds

Energy = (1,400 W) x (324 s) = 453,600 Joules

-- For the CFL bulb:

Power = 11 watts

Time = 10.5 hours = 37,800 seconds

Energy = (11 W) x (37,800 s) = 415,800 Joules

-- The toaster uses energy at 127 times the rate of the CFL bulb.

-- The CFL bulb uses energy at 0.0079 times the rate of the toaster.

-- The toaster is used for 0.0086 times as long as the CFL bulb.

-- The CFL bulb is used for 116.7 times as long as the toaster.

-- The toaster uses 9.1% more energy than the CFL bulb.

-- The CFL bulb uses 8.3% less energy than the toaster.

An artillery shell is launched on a flat, horizontal field at an angle of α = 40.8° with respect to the horizontal and with an i

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

1317.4 m

Explanation:

We are given that

Angle= $\alpha=40.8^{\circ}$

Initial speed = $v_0=346m/s$

We have to find the horizontal distance covered by the shell after 5.03 s.

Horizontal component of initial speed= $v_{ox}=v_0cos\theta=346cos40.8=261.9m/s$

Vertical component of initial speed= $v_{oy}=346sin40.8=226.1m/s$

Time=t=5.03 s

Horizontal distance = $Horizontal\;velocity\times time$

Using the formula

Horizontal distance= $261.9\times 5.03$

Horizontal distance=1317.4 m

Hence, the horizontal distance covered by the shell=1317.4 m

In a circuit, energy is transferred to a charge. Where is this energy transferred from?

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Electric current.

Explanation:

The energy result from electric current resulting from potential differences between terminals which form an Electric circuit. This energy could come from different sources like chemical, wind, light

An electric circuit is one where there is movement of electrons;this electrons acquire charge which is energy. The electrons flow due to a potential difference; you have heard water flows from a higher position to a lower one freely. The highest height is said to be at higher potential and the lower point low potential.

So it's the same with electrons.

The formular for energy on charge is Q= I × t where I is electric current and t is time.

What is the mass of a liquid having a density of 1.50 g/ml and a volume of 3.5 liters?

PIT_PIT [208]

We know the formula for density = Mass/ volume

So Mass, M = Volume * Density

Volume = 3.5 L= 0.0035 $m^3$

Density = 1.50 g/ml = 1500 $kg/m^3$

Mass, M = 0.0035*1500 = 5.25 kg

So mass of liquid having density 1.50 g/ml and volume 3.5 liters is 5.25 kg.
