Answer:

<h2><u>The capacity or power to do work/ The ability to do work. </u></h2>

Explanation:

such as the capacity to move an object (of a given mass) by the application of force. Energy can exist in a variety of forms, such as electrical, mechanical, chemical, thermal, or nuclear, and can be transformed from one form to another

I hope this help:)

A circuit has two 4Ω resistors in series with each other. What is the total resistance?

Paha777 [63]

Answer: 8Ω

Explanation:

Since there are two resistors of 4Ω

connected in series, the total resistance (Rtotal) of the circuit is the sum of each resistance.

i.e Rtotal = R1 + R2

R1 = 4Ω

R2 = 4Ω

Rtotal = ?

Rtotal = 4Ω + 4Ω

Rtotal = 8Ω

Thus, the total resistance of the circuit is 8Ω

The formula v = √2.5r models the maximum safe speed, v, in miles per hour, at which a car can travel on a curved road with radiu

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

The maximum safe speed of the car is 30.82 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

The formula that models the maximum safe speed, v, in miles per hour, at which a car can travel on a curved road with radius of curvature r r, is in feet is given by :

$v=\sqrt{2.5\ r}$ .........(1)

A highway crew measures the radius of curvature at an exit ramp on a highway as 380 feet, r = 380 feet

Put the value of r in equation (1) as :

$v=\sqrt{2.5\ \times 380}$

v = 30.82 m/s

So, the maximum safe speed of the car is 30.82 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A thin rod of length 1.4 m and mass 140 g is suspended freely from one end. It is pulled to one side and then allowed to swing l

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

a The kinetic energy is $KE = 0.0543 J$

b The height of the center of mass above that position is $h = 1.372 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the rod is $L = 1.4m$

The mass of the rod $m = 140 = \frac{140}{1000} = 0.140 \ kg$

The angular speed at the lowest point is $w = 1.09 \ rad/s$

Generally moment of inertia of the rod about an axis that passes through its one end is

$I = \frac{mL^2}{3}$

Substituting values

$I = \frac{(0.140) (1.4)^2}{3}$

$I = 0.0915 \ kg \cdot m^2$

Generally the kinetic energy rod is mathematically represented as

$KE = \frac{1}{2} Iw^2$

$KE = \frac{1}{2} (0.0915) (1.09)^2$

$KE = 0.0543 J$

From the law of conservation of energy

The kinetic energy of the rod during motion = The potential energy of the rod at the highest point

Therefore

$KE = PE = mgh$

$0.0543 = mgh$

$h = \frac{0.0543}{9.8 * 0.140}$

$h = 1.372 \ m$

You drop a rock from rest from the top of a tall building.1)how far has the rock fallen in 2.60 s?

Bess [88]

Answer:
distance = 33.124 meters

Explanation:
To solve this question, we will use one of the equations of motion which is:
s = ut + 0.5a * t^2
where:
s is the distance that we want to get
u is the initial velocity = 0
a is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec^2
t is the time = 2.6 sec

Substitute with the givens in the equation to get the distance as follows:
s = ut + 0.5a * t^2
s = (0)(2.6) + 0.5(9.8)(2.6)^2
s = 33.124 meters

Hope this helps :)

Stephanie serves a volleyball from a height of 0.80 m and gives it an initial velocity of +7.2 m/s straight up. how high will th

Papessa [141]

<span>3.78 m Ignoring resistance, the ball will travel upwards until it's velocity is 0 m/s. So we'll first calculate how many seconds that takes. 7.2 m/s / 9.81 m/s^2 = 0.77945 s The distance traveled is given by the formula d = 1/2 AT^2, so substitute the known value for A and T, giving d = 1/2 A T^2 d = 1/2 9.81 m/s^2 (0.77945 s)^2 d = 4.905 m/s^2 0.607542 s^2 d = 2.979995 m So the volleyball will travel 2.979995 meters straight up from the point upon which it was launched. So we need to add the 0.80 meters initial height. d = 2.979995 m + 0.8 m = 3.779995 m Rounding to 2 decimal places gives us 3.78 m</span>
