Answer:

I'm not sure how to use it using the Series, but it would be the plastic comb

Explanation:

In the winter, it's likely to be cold and the glass would absorb that energy, also making it cold. in order to be able to hold it, you would need something warm, thus making the plastic one the better option as it is less likely to absorb the cold energy

a projectile is launched at an angle of 30 degrees and lands later at the same level. if it's initial speed is 50 m/s, solve for

A flywheel turns through 40 rev as it slows from an angular speed of 1.5 rad/s to a stop.

Lynna [10]

Answer:

-0.0047 rad/s²

335.103 seconds

99.18 seconds

Explanation:

$\omega_f$ = Final angular velocity

$\omega_i$ = Initial angular velocity = 1.5 ra/s

$\alpha$ = Angular acceleration

$\theta$ = Angle of rotation = 40 rev

t = Time taken

Equation of rotational motion

$\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2=2\alpha \theta\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2}{2\theta}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{0^2-1.5^2}{2\times 2\pi \times 40}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=-0.0047\ rad/s^2$

Acceleration while slowing down is -0.0047 rad/s²

$t=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{\alpha}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-1.5}{-0.0047}\\\Rightarrow t=335.103\ s$

Time taken to slow down is 335.103 seconds

$\theta=\omega_it+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2\\\Rightarrow 20\times 2\pi=1.5\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times -0.0047\times t^2\\\Rightarrow 0.00235t^2-1.5t+125.66=0$

Solving the equation

$t=\frac{-\left(-1.5\right)+\sqrt{\left(-1.5\right)^2-4\cdot \:0.00235\cdot \:125.66}}{2\cdot \:0.00235}, \frac{-\left(-1.5\right)-\sqrt{\left(-1.5\right)^2-4\cdot \:0.00235\cdot \:125.66}}{2\cdot \:0.00235}\\\Rightarrow t=539.11, 99.18\ s$

The time required for it to complete the first 20 is 99.18 seconds as 539.11>335.103

A 5.0 V battery contains 775 C of charge. How much electricity energy can it produce?

KatRina [158]

Answer:

3875J

Explanation:

Energy is defined as the power × time

And it's defined as

Power = IV - I- current and V- voltage

Now quantity of electricity; Q = I × t

Where I is current and t is time

Now Energy = I ×V×t = V× I×t = V× Q;

where Q is quantity of electricity 775C and V is 5.0volt

Hence 775 × (5) =3875J

How is an image formed by a plane mirror?

Nesterboy [21]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Light bounces off of the mirror and then appears to come from behind the mirror.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<u><em>Plane mirrors form images that are virtual, upright and the same size and shape as the object it is reflecting.</em></u>
<em><u>When rays of light from the object hits a plane mirror they bounces off the mirror,that is they undergo reflection, and appear to originate from behind the mirror, resulting to the formation of a virtual image.</u></em>
The image formed appears to be behind the plane in which the mirror lies. A virtual image is an image that is formed at a location from which the rays of light appear to come from. The image can not be formed on a screen.
