In the winter activity of tubing, riders slide down snow covered slopes while sitting on large inflated rubber tubes. To get to

the top of the slope, a 2.50 kg tube, is pulled at a constant speed by a tow rope that maintains a constant tension of 12.0 N along the direction of the slope. How much thermal energy is created in the slope and the tube during the ascent of a 6.31-m-high, 52.3-m-long slope, in Joule

Answer:

≈ 473 J

Explanation:

m ( mass ) = 2.5 kg

T ( tension ) = 12 N

v = constant

h ( height ) = 6.31 m

d ( diameter ) = 52.3 m

<u>Determine how much thermal energy is created </u>

considering that external force acts on the system

ΔE = W    and this can be rewritten as

mgh + ΔEth = W --------- ( 1 )

where ΔEth  = amount of thermal energy created

also ; W = Fd cos ∅,  hence Work done by Tension force (w) = Td cos 0 = Td

back to equation ( 1 )

mgh + ΔEth = Td

ΔEth  = Td - mgh

         = ( 12 * 52.3 ) - ( 2.5 * 9.8 * 6.31 )

         ≈ 473 J

A low resistance light bulb and a high resistance light bulb are connected in parallel with each other. Which bulb is brighter i
sweet [91]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The bulb with low resistance will be brighter.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The brightness of a bulb is a function of both the voltage across the bulb and current flowing through the bulb. The higher the voltage, the higher the current. Hence the brighter the bulb.

Now, according to the question, the bulbs (the high resistance bulb and the low resistance bulb) are connected in parallel with each other. This means that the same voltage passes across them.

Also, we know that according to Ohm's law, the voltage (V) and current (I) through a conductor are related by the following equation;

V =  I x R                -------------------(i)

Where;

R is the resistance of the conductor.

We can re-write equation (i) as follows;

I = V / R               -----------------------(ii)

According to equation (ii), at fixed voltage (V), the current (I) will increase as the resistance (R) decreases.

Now, since the two bulbs have the same voltage, the bulb with the low resistance will allow a larger flow of current than the bulb with high resistance.  Therefore, as said earlier that brightness is dependent on voltage and current, the bulb with the low resistance (and having larger current at some voltage) will be brighter than the bulb with the high resistance (having smaller current at same voltage).

The energy in the typical thunderstorm is about 1.4×1011j. a typical lightning flash transfers 30 c across a potential differenc
iragen [17]
780 seconds, or 13 minutes.

In the future, please use proper capitalization. There's a significant difference in the meaning between mV and MV. One of them indicated millivolts while the other indicates megavolts. For this problem, I'll make the following assumptions about the values presented. They are:
Total energy = 1.4x10^11 Joules (J)
Current per flash = 30 Columbs (C)
Potential difference = 30 Mega Volts (MV)

First, let's determine the power discharged by each bolt. That would be the current multiplied by the voltage, so
30 C * 30x10^6 V = 9x10^8 CV = 9x10^8 J

Now that we know how many joules are dissipated per flash, let's determine how flashes are needed.
1.4x10^11 / 9x10^8 = 1.56E+02 = 156

Since each flash takes 5 seconds, that means that it will take about 5 * 156 = 780 seconds which is about 780/60 = 13 minutes.
