Answer:

the work done by the lawnmower is 236.14 J.

Explanation:

Given;

power exerted by the lawnmower engine, P = 19 hp

time in which the power was exerted, t = 1 minute = 60 s.

1 hp = 745.7 watts

The work done by the lawnmower is calculated as follows;

$Work = Energy = \frac{Power}{time} \\\\Work = \frac{(19 \times 745.7)}{60} = 236.14 \ J$

Therefore, the work done by the lawnmower is 236.14 J.

A vertical spring gun is used to launch balls into the air. If the spring is compressed by 4.9 cm, the ball of mass 5.5 g is lau

AleksandrR [38]

We know, by conservation of energy :

$\dfrac{kx^2}{2}=mgh$

Therefore,

$\dfrac{x_1^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{h_1}{h_2}$

Putting given values, we get :

$\dfrac{x_1^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{h_1}{h_2}\\\\\dfrac{4.9^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{50.2}{2\times 50.2}\\\\x_2^2=2\times 4.9^2\\\\x_2 = 4.9\times \sqrt{2}\\\\x_2=6.93\ cm$

Therefore, the spring be compressed to 6.93 cm to send the ball twice as high.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Tarik winds a small paper tube uniformly with 183 turns 183 turns of thin wire to form a solenoid. The tube's diameter is 9.49 m

Rufina [12.5K]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

143μH

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The inductance (L) of a coil wire (e.g solenoid) is given by;

L = μ₀N²A / l --------------(i)

Where;

l = the length of the solenoid

A = cross-sectional area of the solenoid

N= number of turns of the solenoid

μ₀ = permeability of free space = 4π x 10⁻⁷ N/A²

<em>From the question;</em>

N = 183 turns

l = 2.09cm = 0.0209m

diameter, d = 9.49mm = 0.00949m

A = π d² / 4 [Take π = 3.142 and substitute d = 0.00949m]

A = 3.142 x 0.00949² / 4

A = 7.1 x 10⁻⁵m²

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

L = 4π x 10⁻⁷ x 183² x 7.1 x 10⁻⁵ / 0.0209 [Take π = 3.142]

L = 4(3.142) x 10⁻⁷ x 183² x 7.1 x 10⁻⁵ / 0.0209

L = 143 x 10⁻⁶ H

L = 143 μH

Therefore the inductance in microhenrys of the Tarik's solenoid is 143

calculate the efficiency of a light bulb that had an input of 400 j transfers 100j as a light and 300j as heat.

beks73 [17]

Efficiency = useful energy out / total energy in x 100
= 100/400 x 100
=0.25 x 100
= 25%
