Answer:

0.69 ohm

Explanation:

Heat generated per second, H = 50 cal/s

Potential difference, V = 12 V

Let R is the resistance of coil.

The formula for the heat is given by

H = \frac{V^{2}}{R}t

50\times 4.186 = \frac{12^{2}}{R}\times 1

R = 0.69 ohm

A book is moved once around the edge of a tabletop with dimensions 1.75 m à 2.25 m. If the book ends up at its initial position,
uysha [10]

Explanation:

The dimension of the book is 1.75 m × 2.25 m. If the book ends up at its initial position. The displacement of the book is equal to zero as the object reaches to its initial position.

If it completes its motion in 23 s, t = 23 s

Total displacement of the book is equal to its perimeter. It is given by :

d=2(1.75+2.25)=8\ m

The net displacement divided by total time taken is called the average velocity of an object. Here, the displacement is 0. So, average velocity is 0.

The average speed of an object is given by :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

v=\dfrac{8\ m}{23\ s}

v = 0.347 m/s

So, the average speed of the book is 0.347 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 0.2-kg steel ball is dropped straight down onto a hard, horizontal floor and bounces straight up. The ball's speed just before
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of steel ball m=0.2\ kg

initial speed of ball u=10\ m/s

Final speed of ball v=-10\ m/s (in upward direction)

Impulse imparted is given by change in the momentum of object

therefore impulse J is given by

J=\Delta P

\Delta P=m(v-u)

\Delta P=0.2(-10-10)

\Delta =-4\ N-s

so magnitude of Impulse =4 N-s

A ball bearing of radius of 1.5 mm made of iron of density
Serjik [45]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf Viscosity \ of \ glycerine \ (\eta) = 14.382 \ poise}

Given:

Radius of ball bearing (r) = 1.5 mm = 0.15 cm

Density of iron (ρ) = 7.85 g/cm³

Density of glycerine (σ) = 1.25 g/cm³

Terminal velocity (v) = 2.25 cm/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 980.6 cm/s²

To Find:

Viscosity of glycerine (\sf \eta)

Explanation:

\boxed{ \bold{v =  \frac{2}{9}  \frac{( {r}^{2} ( \rho -  \sigma)g)}{ \eta} }}

\sf \implies \eta =  \frac{2}{9}  \frac{( {r}^{2}( \rho -  \sigma)g )}{v}

Substituting values of r, ρ, σ, v & g in the equation:

\sf \implies \eta =  \frac{2}{9}  \frac{( {(0.15)}^{2}  \times  (7.85 - 1.25) \times 980.6)}{2.25}

\sf \implies \eta =  \frac{2}{9}  \frac{(0.0225 \times 6.6 \times 980.6)}{2.25}

\sf \implies \eta =  \frac{2}{9}  \times  \frac{145.6191}{2.25}

\sf \implies \eta =  \frac{2}{9}  \times 64.7196

\sf \implies \eta =  2 \times 7.191

\sf \implies \eta =  14.382 \: poise

LenKa [72]

Answer:

a) W = - 318.26 J, b)  W = 0 , c) W = 318.275 J , d) W = 318.275 J , e) W = 0

Explanation:

The work is defined by

           W = F .ds = F ds cos θ

Bold indicate vectors

We create a reference system where the x-axis is parallel to the ramp and the axis and perpendicular, in the attached we see a scheme of the forces

Let's use trigonometry to break down weight

     sin θ = Wₓ / W

     Wₓ = W sin 60

     cos θ = Wy / W

      Wy = W cos 60

X axis

How the body is going at constant speed

    fr - Wₓ = 0

    fr = mg sin 60

    fr = 15 9.8 sin 60

    fr = 127.31 N

Y Axis  

    N - Wy = 0

    N = mg cos 60

    N = 15 9.8 cos 60

    N = 73.5 N

Let's calculate the different jobs

a) The work of the force of gravity is

     W = mg L cos θ

Where the angles are between the weight and the displacement is

      θ = 60 + 90 = 150

     W = 15 9.8 2.50 cos 150

     W = - 318.26 J

b) The work of the normal force

     From Newton's equations

          N = Wy = W cos 60

          N = mg cos 60

         W = N L cos 90

        W = 0

c) The work of the friction force

      W = fr L cos 0

      W = 127.31 2.50

      W = 318.275 J

d) as the body is going at constant speed the force of the tape is equal to the force of friction

      W = F L cos 0

      W = 127.31 2.50

       W = 318.275 J

e) the net force

    F ’= fr - Wx = 0

    W = F ’L cos 0

    W = 0

pentagon [3]
If a coin is dropped at a relatively low altitude, it's acceleration remains constant. However, if the coin is dropped at a very high altitude, air resistance will have a significant effect. The initial acceleration of the coin will be the greatest. As it falls down, air resistance will counteract the weight of the coin. So, the acceleration will decrease. Although the acceleration decreases, the coin still accelerates, that is why it falls faster. When the air resistance fully counters the weight of the coin, the acceleration will become zero and the coin will fall at a constant speed (terminal velocity). So, the answer should be, The acceleration decreases until it reaches 0. The closest answer is.
a. The acceleration decreases.
