what is mechanical energy​

Answers

Answer 1

Explanation:  

In physical sciences, mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. It is the macroscopic energy associated with a system. The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that if an isolated system is subject only to conservative forces, then the mechanical energy is constant. If an object moves in the opposite direction of a conservative net force, the potential energy will increase; and if the speed (not the velocity) of the object changes, the kinetic energy of the object also changes. In all real systems, however, nonconservative forces, such as frictional forces, will be present, but if they are of negligible magnitude, the mechanical energy changes little and its conservation is a useful approximation. In elastic collisions, the kinetic energy is conserved, but in inelastic collisions some mechanical energy may be converted into thermal energy. The equivalence between lost mechanical energy (dissipation) and an increase in temperature was discovered by James Prescott Joule.

Why are chemical processes unable to produce the same amount of energy flowing out of the sun as nuclear fusion

i have no clue about it :(

Answers

Answer:

I think because of sun is made from very hot gases

One of the major differences between nuclear reactions and chemical reactions is that nuclear reactions involve larger amount of energy than chemical energy. This is because the force between the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom is much higher than the force of attraction between electrons and the positively charged nucleus, hence nuclear reactions involves/requires a larger amount of energy (because it's reactions involve the nucleus) than chemical reactions (because it's reactions involve the electrons).
Thus, during nuclear fusion, two light nuclei are bombarded against one another to produce a larger/heavier nuclei with the release of large amount of energy (because the forces between the protons and neutrons are much higher) unlike when two atoms/molecules are chemically combined together to form a new molecule with the rearrangement of electrons in the valence shells of the participating molecules.

What is an atom?

An atom is defined as the smallest unit of matter which forms an element. Every form of matter whether solid,liquid , gas consists of atoms . Each atom has a nucleus which is composed of protons and neutrons and shells in which the electrons revolve.

The protons are positively charged and neutrons are neutral and hence the nucleus is positively charged. The electrons which revolve around the nucleus are negatively charged and hence the atom as a whole is neutral and stable due to presence of oppositely charged particles.

Atoms of the same element are similar as they have number of sub- atomic particles which on combination do not alter the chemical properties of the substances.

An automobile manufacturer claims that its product will, starting from rest, travel
400 m in 9.0 s. What is the acceleration required to do this?

Answers

Answer:

Acceleration, a = 9.877m/s²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance, d = 400m

Time, t = 9secs

Since it's starting from rest, initial velocity, u = 0

To solve for acceleration, we would use the second equation of motion;

[tex] S = ut + \frac {1}{2}at^{2}[/tex]

Substituting into the values into the equation;

[tex] 400 = 0(9) + \frac {1}{2}a(9)^{2}[/tex]

[tex] 400 = \frac {1}{2}a81[/tex]

Cross multiplying, we have;

[tex] 800 = a81[/tex]

[tex] a = \frac {800}{81}[/tex]

a = 9.877m/s²

Therefore, the automobile would have to accelerate at a constant rate of 9.877m/s²

This diagram shows two different forces acting on a skateboarder. The combined mass of the skateboard and the person is 81.5 kg. Based on this information, what is the acceleration of the skateboarder?

A. 0.51 m/s² to the left
B. 1.95 m/s² to the left
C. 0.51 m/s² to the right
D 1.94 m/s² to the right ​

Answers

Answer:

Option C. 0.51 m/s² to the right.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the net force acting on the skateboarder. This is illustrated below:

Force applied (Fₐ) = 52.8 N

Force resistance (Fᵣ) = 11.4 N

Net force (Fₙ) =.?

Net force (Fₙ) = Force applied (Fₐ) – Force resistance (Fᵣ)

Fₙ = Fₐ – Fᵣ

Fₙ = 52.8 – 11.4

Fₙ = 41.4 N to the right

Thus, the net force acting on the skateboarder is 41.4 N to the right.

Finally, we shall determine the acceleration of the skateboarder as shown below:

Mass (m) = 81.5 kg.

Net force (Fₙ) = 41.4 N to the right

Acceleration (a) =..?

Net force (Fₙ) = mass (m) × acceleration (a)

Fₙ = ma

41.4 = 81.5 × a

Divide both side by 81.5

a = 41.4 / 81.5

a = 0.51 m/s² to the right.

Therefore, the acceleration of the skateboarder is 0.51 m/s² to the right.

A marble rolls horizontally off a table that is 0.8 m tall. If the marble lands 0.6 m from the base of the table,
what is the initial velocity of the marble?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Time of fall be t

Considering downward fall

h = 1/2 g t²

.8 = .5 x 9.8 t²

t² = .16

t = .4 s

Marble lands at .6 m away from the base

If u be its horizontal initial velocity

u x .4 = .6

u = 1.5 m /s .

The initial velocity of the marble will be "1.5 m/s".

Speed and Velocity

According to the question,

Height of table, h = 0.8 m

Marble lands = 0.6 m

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8

Let,

The time of fall be "t".

We know the relation,

→ h = [tex]\frac{1}{2} gt^2[/tex]

By substituting the values, we get

0.8 = 0.5 × 9.8 t²

  t² = 0.16

    t = √0.16

      = 0.4 s

hence,

The horizontal initial velocity will be:

→ u × 0.4 = 0.6

            u = [tex]\frac{0.6}{0.4}[/tex]

               = 1.5 m/s

Thus the answer above is appropriate.

How long will it take an airplane at rest that

velocity of 70 m/s that is required for takeoff

Answers

Answer:

28 seconds.

Explanation:

Apply the first equation of motion as;

v=u +at where;

v= final velocity of the plane = 70m/s

u=initial velocity of the plane= 0m/s -----it was at rest

a= acceleration uniform =2.5 m/s²

t= time required for takeoff = ?

Substitute values in the equation as;

v= u + at

70 = 0 + 2.5*t

70 = 2.5t

70/2.5 = 2.5/2.5t

28 = t

Time required for takeoff is 28 seconds.

A 250-n force is directed horizontally as shown to push a 29-kg box up an inclined plane at a constant speed. Determine the magnitude of the normal force

Answers

Answer:

246.38N

Explanation:

Check the complete question in the attached diagram

The normal force acting on the body on an inclined is equal to the weight of the object as shown;

Weight = Normal force = mgcosθ

m is the mass of the box = 29kg

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

θ is the angle of inclination = 30°

N = 29 * 9.81 * cos 30°

N = 284.49cos30°

N = 246.38N

Hence the magnitude of the normal force is 246.38N

Consider an uncharged, conducting hollow spherical shell. The electric field on the inside surface of the spherical shell is measured to be directed toward the inner shell wall and varies in magnitude over the spherical shell's inside surface. It is known that the only charge in the hollow cavity inside the spherical shell is a point charge with magnitude q. What is the sign of the charge q?

Answers

Answer:

The sign of charge q is negative.

Explanation:

This is because electric field lines usually emanate from positive charges and terminate at negative charges. The negative charge in the hollow cavity induces a positive charge on the inner shell wall of the hollow shell which in turn induces the negative charge q on the hollow spherical shell.

Since the induced electric charge on the inner wall is positive, the electric field lines from that charge terminates at the inner charge q. Since electric field lines terminate only at negative charges, q is negative.

For which trial would the students measure the smallest current in the circuit?

Answers

Answer: C. Trial 3

Explanation:

Trial 1 and 2 equal 1.5, Trial 3 equals 1 and Trial 4 equals 3. Trial 3 is the smallest current .

The trial for which the students would measure the smallest current is the circuit is trial 2 and trial 3.

To know the trial which generates the smallest current, we need to determine the current in each trial.

Since current I = V/R where V = voltage and R = resistance.

For trial 1, V = 1.5 V and R = 200 Ω

So, I = 1.5 V/200 Ω

= 0.0075 A

= 7.5 mA

For trial 2, V = 1.5 V and R = 100 Ω

So, I = 1.5 V/100 Ω

= 0.015 A

= 15 mA

For trial 3, V = 3 V and R = 200 Ω

So, I = 3 V/200 Ω

= 0.015 A

= 15 mA

For trial 4, V = 3 V and R = 100 Ω

So, I = 3 V/100 Ω

= 0.03 A

= 3 mA

Trial 2 and trial 3 both produce a the smallest current of 15 mA.

So, the trial for which the students would measure the smallest current is the circuit is trial 2 and trial 3.
