The amount of electric energy consumed by a 60.0-watt lightbulb for 1.00 minute could lift a

Physics
1 answer:
Andru [333]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Amount of energy consumed by a 60W light bulb for 1 minutes

P = 60 W

t = 1 mins = 60seconds

This energy can be used to lift a body that weight 10N

W = 10N

This shows that the electrical energy is converted to potential energy

Let calculate the electrical energy

Power is the rate of doing work

Power = Work / time

Therefore, work = power × time

Work = 60 × 60

Work = 3600 J

Potential energy can be calculated using

P.E = mgh

Where, weight is

W = mg

Then, P.E = W•h

P.E = 10•h

Then,

Potential energy, = Electrical energy

P.E = Work

10•h = 3600

Divide both sides by 10

h = 3600 / 10

h = 360m

So, the object will be lifted to a height of 360m

Keeping in mind that the conversion between calories and Joules is
1 cal = 4.186 J
we can write the conversion factor using the kilocalories:
1 kcal = 4186 J

The energy released in our problem is
E=3.3 \cdot 10^{10} J 
so we can set a simple proportion to find its equivalent in kcal:
1 kcal: 4186 J = x: 3.3 \cdot 10^{10} J
from which we find:
x= \frac{3.3 \cdot 10^{10} J \cdot 1 kcal}{4186 J} =7.88 \cdot 10^6 kcal

A woman takes her dog Rover for a walk on a leash. To get the little pooch moving forward, she pulls on the leash with a force o
stepladder [879]

<u>Answer:</u>

15.97 N force is tending to pull Rover forward

<u>Explanation:</u>

 The woman pulls on the leash with a force of 20.0 N at an angle of 37° above the horizontal. The arrangement is shown in the given figure,

 We nee to find the pulling force P. The 20.0 N force has two components, 20.0 cos 37 in horizontal direction and 20.0 sin 37 in vertical direction.

  The horizontal component is equal to pulling force P, which will pull Rover forward/

  So, P = 20.0 cos 37 = 15.97 N

 15.97 N force is tending to pull Rover forward.

wheel rotates from rest with constant angular acceleration. Part A If it rotates through 8.00 revolutions in the first 2.50 s, h
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

x2 = 64 revolutions.

it rotate through 64 revolutions in the next 5.00 s

Explanation:

Given;

wheel rotates from rest with constant angular acceleration.

Initial angular speed v = 0

Time t = 2.50

Distance x = 8 rev

Applying equation of motion;

x = vt +0.5at^2 ........1

Since v = 0

x = 0.5at^2

making a the subject of formula;

a = x/0.5t^2 = 2x/t^2

a = angular acceleration

t = time taken

x = angular distance

Substituting the values;

a = 2(8)/2.5^2

a = 2.56 rev/s^2

velocity at t = 2.50

v1 = a×t = 2.56×2.50 = 6.4 rev/s

Through the next 5 second;

t2 = 5 seconds

a2 = 2.56 rev/s^2

v2 = 6.4 rev/s

From equation 1;

x = vt +0.5at^2

Substituting the values;

x2 = 6.4(5) + 0.5×2.56×5^2

x2 = 64 revolutions.

it rotate through 64 revolutions in the next 5.00 s

A conducting rod (length = 80 cm) rotates at a constant angular rate of 15 revolutions per second about a pivot at one end. A un
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

3.62 V

Explanation:

L = 80 cm = 0.8 m

f = 15 rps

B = 60 m T = 0.060 T

ω = 2 x π x f = 2 x 3.14 x 15 = 94.2 rad/s

v = r ω

here, r be the radius of circular path. Here r = length of rod = L

v = 0.80 x 94.2 = 75.36 m/s

The motional emf is given by

e = B  v  L = 0.060 x 75.36 x 0.8 = 3.62 V
