Which of the following is the correct equation to calculate electrical energy? P = I/V V = P × I P = I × V E = P × t
Phoenix [80]

You haven't told us what any of those letters represents.

I'm going to assume that ...

-- ' P ' = power

-- ' I ' = circuit current

-- ' V ' = circuit voltage

-- ' E ' = energy

-- ' t ' = time.

Now I'm ready to answer the question that I just invented.

P = I / V

V = P x I

Both of these are false statements, and can't be used to calculate anything.

P = I x V   is the correct equation to calculate electrical power.

<em>E = P x t</em>   is the correct equation to calculate electrical energy.

A movie stunt performer is filming a scene where he swings across a river on a vine. The safety crew must use a vine with enough
Julli [10]

Answer:

1125.66956 N

Explanation:

m = Mass of stunt performer

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v = Velocity of the swing = 7 m/s

T = Tension

r = Radius of the swing = Length of vine = 11.5 m

From the free body diagram

T-mg-m\frac{v^2}{r}=0\\\Rightarrow T=mg+m\frac{v^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow T=m(g+\frac{v^2}{r})\\\Rightarrow T=80(9.81+\frac{7^2}{11.5})\\\Rightarrow T=1125.66956\ N

The minimum tension force the vine must be able to support without breaking is 1125.66956 N

A sample contains radioactive atoms of two types, A and B. Initially there are five times as many A atoms as there are B atoms.
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initially no of atoms of A = N₀(A)

Initially no of atoms of B = N₀(B)

5 X N₀(A)  = N₀(B)

N = N₀ e^{-\lambda t}

N is no of atoms after time t , λ is decay constant and t is time .

For A

N(A) = N(A)₀ e^{-\lambda_1 t}

For B

N(B) = N(B)₀ e^{-\lambda_2 t}

N(A) = N(B) , for t = 2 h

N(A)₀ e^{-\lambda_1 t} = N(B)₀ e^{-\lambda_2 t}

N(A)₀ e^{-\lambda_1 t} = 5 x N₀(A)  e^{-\lambda_2 t}

e^{-\lambda_1 t} = 5  e^{-\lambda_2 t}

e^{\lambda_2 t} = 5  e^{\lambda_1 t}

half life = .693 / λ

For A

.77 =  .693 / λ₁

λ₁ = .9 h⁻¹

e^{\lambda_2 t} = 5  e^{\lambda_1 t}

Putting t = 2 h , λ₁ = .9 h⁻¹

e^{\lambda_2\times  2} = 5  e^{.9\times  2}

e^{\lambda_2\times  2} = 30.25

2 x λ₂ = 3.41

λ₂ = 1.7047

Half life of B = .693 / 1.7047

= .4065 hours .

= .41 hours .

You are driving at 35 m/s east and notice another car that is initially located 462 m in front of you and is moving east at 25 m
GaryK [48]

The easiest way to answer this question is by realizing there are relating the velocities of the two cars. To tackle this problem, you have to understand the picture.  Car 1 travels at 35m/s and Car 2 travels at 25m/s.  Based on relative velocities, we can understand that Car 1 travels 10m/s faster than Car 2 every second.  So we can interpret Car 1's relative velocity to Car 2 as 10m/s.  Car 1 needs to travel 10m/s till a point of catching up to Car 2 which is 462m away.

v = 10m/s

d = 462m

v = d/t

(10) = (462)/t

t = 46.2s

So it takes 46.2 seconds for Car 1 to catch up to Car 2, but the question is asking how far does Car 1 travel to catch up.  So we have to use Car 1's velocity and not the relative velocity:

v = 35m/s

v = d/t

(35) = d/(46.2)

d = 1617m

Car 1 traveled a total distance of 1617m.
