Answer: B. All use generators to produce electrical current.

Explanation:

The wind, water and ethanol all are the examples of renewable sources of energy. These can be used to generate electricity. The kinetic energy of the blowing wind, free flowing water and liquid like ethanol can be used to generate mechanical energy in the turbine which can help in generating the electricity in the generator.

An electron in a vacuum chamber is fired with a speed of 9800 km/s toward a large, uniformly charged plate 75 cm away. The elect

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

The plate's surface charge density is $-8.056\times10^{-9}\ C/m^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed = 9800 km/s

Distance d= 75 cm

Distance d' =15 cm

Suppose we determine the plate's surface charge density?

We need to calculate the surface charge density

Using work energy theorem

$W=\Delta K.E$

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{f}^2-\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{i}^2$

Here, final velocity is zero

$W=0-\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{i}^2$ ...(I)

We know that,

$W=-Fd$

$W=-E\times e\times d$

$W=-\dfrac{\lambda}{2\epsilon_{0}}\times e\times d$ ...(II)

From equation (I) and (II)

$-\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{i}^2=-\dfrac{\lambda}{2\epsilon_{0}}\times e\times d$

Charge is negative for electron

$\lambda=\dfrac{mv^2\epsilon_{0}}{(-e)d}$

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda=-\dfrac{9.1\times10^{-31}\times(9800\times10^{3})^2\times8.85\times10^{-12}}{1.6\times10^{-19}\times(75-15)\times10^{-2}}$

$\lambda=-8.056\times10^{-9}\ C/m^2$

Hence, The plate's surface charge density is $-8.056\times10^{-9}\ C/m^2$

A fisherman is fishing from a bridge and is using a "50.0-N test line." In other words, the line will sustain a maximum force of

umka21 [38]

Answer:(a) 50 N

(b)38.34 N

Explanation:

Given

Maximum tension(T) in line 50 N

(a)If line is moving up with constant velocity i.e. there is no acceleration

This will happen when Tension is equal to weight of Fish

T-mg=0

T=mg

Maximum weight in this case will be 50 N

(b)acceleration of magnitude $2.98 m/s^2$

T-mg=ma

$50=m\left ( g+a\right )$

$50=m\left ( 12.78\right )$

m=3.91

Therefore weight is $3.91\times 9.8=38.34 N$

After an incandescent lamp is turned on, the temperature of its filament rapidly increases from room temperature to its operatin

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer: (1) The resistance increases and the current decreases.

Explanation:

When the temperature of the filament increases, the vibrational energy of the constituent atoms increases which leads to increase in inter-atomic collision. Thus, the resistance would increase. The increases in resistance would obstruct the flow of charges more leading to decrease in the value of the current.

Hence, when the temperature of the filament increase, the resistance increases and current decreases.

A machine has an efficiency of 20 percent. Find the input work if the output work is 140 Joules

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

X= 700 Joules

Explanation:

The question asked about the efficiency of the work done.

The formula for efficiency is: Efficiency = (Useful output / input work) * 100%

The useful output given in the question is 140J, the question asked for input work. Let X be the input work. It is also given that the efficiency is 20%.

Using the formula of efficiency,

20 = (140/X) * 100

So, we simply solve the above equation.

X= 140*100/20

X= 700 Joules

To begin to lift the car, a hydraulic jack must produce <em>more than 9,800N</em> of force.

To keep the car in position once it is lifted, the jack must produce <em>exactly 9,800N</em> of force.
