Answer:

11760 joules

Explanation:

Given

Mass (m) = 75kg

Height (h) = 16m

Required

Determine the increment in potential energy (PE)

This is calculated as thus:

PE = mgh

Where g = 9.8m/s²

Substitute values for m, g and h.

P.E = 75 * 9.8 * 16

P.E = 11760 joules

In a circuit, energy is transferred to a charge.<br> 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.

A delivery truck travels 2.8 km North, 1.0 km East, and 1.6 km South. The final displacement from the origin is ___km to the ___
34kurt

Answer:

The final displacement from the origin is <u>1.6</u> km to the <u>NE</u>

Explanation:

The directions in which the delivery truck travels are;

1) 2.8 km North = 2.8·\hat j, in vector form

2) 1.0 km East = 1.0·\hat i, in vector form

3) 1.6 km South = -1.6·\hat j, in vector form

Therefore, to find the final displacement, Δx, of the delivery truck, we add the individual displacements as follows;

Final displacement, Δd = 2.8·\hat j + 1.0·\hat i +(-1.6·\hat j) = 1.2·\hat j + 1.0·\hat i

Final displacement, = 1.0·\hat i + 1.2·\hat j

Where;

Δx = The displacement in the x-direction = 1.0·\hat i

Δy = The displacement in the y-direction = 1.2·\hat j

The magnitude of the resultant displacement vector is given as follows

\left | d \right | = √((Δx)² + (Δy)²) = √(1² + 1.2²) ≈ 1.6 (To the nearest tenth)

The magnitude of the resultant displacement vector ≈ 1.6 km

The direction of the resultant vector is positive for both the east and north direction, therefore, the direction of the resultant vector = NE

Therefore, the resultant displacement of the delivery truck is approximately 1.6 km, NE from the origin.

A car accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 6.6 m/s in 6.5 s. Find the acceleration the car presents during this time?
Art [367]

Answer:

1.02 m/s²

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 6.6 m/s

Time (t) = 6.5 s

Acceleration (a) =.?

Acceleration can simply be defined as the change of velocity with time. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

a = (v – u) / t

Where:

a is the acceleration.

v is the final velocity.

u is the initial velocity.

t is the time.

With the above formula, we can obtain the acceleration of the car as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 6.6 m/s

Time (t) = 6.5 s

Acceleration (a) =.?

a = (v – u) / t

a = (6.6 – 0) / 6.5

a = 6.6 / 6.5

a = 1.02 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the car is 1.02 m/s²
