Answer:

A. 3.4 m

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 56.7N

Workdone = 195J

To find the distance

Workdone is given by the formula;

$Workdone = force * distance$

Making "distance" the subject of formula, we have;

$Distance = \frac {workdone}{force}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Distance = \frac {195}{56.7}$

Distance = 3.4 meters.

Answer:

C. Overcome Friction

Explanation:

When using any machine usually those with moving parts, you may notice heat forming near the areas where most movement occurs. As friction continues, more energy is used up and released as heat. For that reason, the efficiency of a machine will forever be less than 100%

A combination lock has a 1.3-cm-diameter knob that is part of the dial you turn to unlock the lock. To turn that knob, you twist

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

0.04225 Nm

Explanation:

N = Force applied = 5 N

$\mu$ = Coefficient of static friction = 0.65

d = Diameter of knob = 1.3 cm

r = Radius of knob = $\frac{d}{2}=\frac{1.3}{2}=0.65\ cm$

Force is given by

$F=N\mu\\\Rightarrow F=5\times 0.65\\\Rightarrow F=3.25\ N$

When we multiply force and radius we get torque

Torque on thumb

$\tau_t=F\times r\\\Rightarrow \tau_t=3.25\times 0.0065\\\Rightarrow \tau_t=0.021125\ Nm$

Torque on forefinger

$\tau_f=F\times r\\\Rightarrow \tau_f=3.25\times 0.0065\\\Rightarrow \tau_f=0.021125\ Nm$

The total torque is given by

$\tau=\tau_t+\tau_f\\\Rightarrow \tau=0.021125+0.021125\\\Rightarrow \tau=0.04225\ Nm$

The most torque that exerted on the knob is 0.04225 Nm

A 500 W hair dyer is used to dry hair for 6 minutes a day for 3 days. How much energy is used? A laptop uses 75 W. The cot of el

zzz [600]

Answer:

See the answers below.

Explanation:

We will solve this problem by calculating each part separately.

A 500 W hair dyer is used to dry hair for 6 minutes a day for 3 days.

Energy can be calculated by multiplying the value of the power of the equipment by the amount of time of use.

$500 [W]*[\frac{6min}{1day} ]*[\frac{1day}{24hr} ]*[\frac{1hr}{60min} ]=2.083 [W]$

The cots of electricity is 5.6 cents per kWh. How much would it cost to operate the laptop for 24 hours a day for one week?

We know that the power of the latop is 75 [W], then we can calculate the cost, multiplying the value of the power by the value of the cost by the time of use of the computer.

$0.075[kW]*5.6[\frac{cents}{kw*h}}]*[\frac{24hr}{1day}]*[1week]*[\frac{7days}{1week} ]=70.56 [cents]$

A toaster oven is 85% efficient. It uses 1200 J of energy. How much thermal energy is it producing?

Efficiency is defined as the relationship between the energy obtained on the energy delivered. Almost always the energy delivered is greater than the energy obtained (first law of thermodynamics).

Therefore.

$Effic = E_{obtained}/E_{delivered}\\0.85=E_{obtained}/1200\\E_{obtained}=1020[J]$
