What is the mechanical advantage of a wedge that is 2 inches at its widest part and has a sloped side with a length of 10 inches?a. 0.2b. 5c. 8d. 20

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

B) 5

Explanation:

Mechanical advantage = D/W

= 10/2

= 5.

It has no unit because the inches in the length and width will cancel out.

Potential and kinetic energy 1. An apple falling from a tree
2. A stationary ball on the ground
3. A sleeping dog
4. A boy running across the street
5. A car traveling on the road
6. A stretched rubber band
7. A basketball being thrown
8. A girl biking at the park
9. A leaf lying on the ground
10. A planet revolving around a star

Answers

Here's how potential and kinetic energy relate to the scenarios you've mentioned:

1. An apple falling from a tree: Kinetic energy increases as it falls, while potential energy decreases.

2. A stationary ball on the ground: No kinetic energy (it's not moving), but it has potential energy due to its position above the ground.

3. A sleeping dog: The dog has potential energy due to its position above the ground, but it's not in motion, so there's no significant kinetic energy.

4. A boy running across the street: The boy has both kinetic and potential energy. His motion represents kinetic energy, and his position above the ground while running represents potential energy.

5. A car traveling on the road: The car has both kinetic energy (due to its motion) and potential energy (due to its position above the road).

6. A stretched rubber band: The stretched rubber band has potential energy stored in its stretched configuration.

7. A basketball being thrown: The basketball has both kinetic energy (while it's in motion) and potential energy (when it's at the highest point of its trajectory).

8. A girl biking at the park: Similar to the boy running, the girl on the bike has both kinetic and potential energy.

9. A leaf lying on the ground: The leaf has potential energy due to its position above the ground, but it has little to no kinetic energy unless it's moving in the wind.

10. A planet revolving around a star: The planet has both kinetic energy (due to its orbital motion) and potential energy (related to its position within the gravitational field of the star).

In general, potential energy is associated with an object's position or state, while kinetic energy is associated with its motion.

The _____ theory is the most accepted theory regarding the origin of the solar system. It suggests that our star, the Sun, was first created by a cloud of dust and gas.

Answers

The Nebular Hypothesis is the most accepted explanation of the origin of our solar system. It states that the Sun was formed by a massive cloud of dust and gas light-years across, and it was bigger than the actual sun itself. Most of the mass in the center formed the sun, and the rest expanded outward.

A. Nebular is the answer

A train traveling 80.0 kph is blowing its horn as it approaches a railroad crossing. The horn has a frequency of 300.0 Hz. Assume the speed of sound is 331.5 m/s. What is the observed frequency of the horn?395 Hz

281 Hz

322 Hz

Answers

Answer:

322 Hz

Explanation:

v = speed of train approaching the railroad crossing = 80 km/h = 80 x 1000/3600 m/s = 22.22 m/s

V = speed of sound of the horn of train = 331.5 m/s

f = actual frequency of the sound from the horn = 300.0 Hz

f' = observed frequency of the horn

Using Doppler's effect, observed frequency is given as

f' = V f/(V - v)

inserting the values

f' = (331.5) (300.0)/(331.5 - 22.22)

f' = 322 Hz

the answer to your question is 322 hz

The energy of the photon in joules, given that it's has a frequency of 5.48×10¹⁴ Hz is36.33×10¯² J

Data obtained from the question

  • Frequency (f) = 5.48×10¹⁴ Hz
  • Energy (E) =?

How to determine the energy

  • Planck's constant (h) = 6.63×10¯³⁴ Js
  • Frequency (f) = 5.48×10¹⁴ Hz
  • Energy (E) =?

The energy of the photon can be obtained as follow:

E = hf

E = 6.63×10¯³⁴ × 5.48×10¹⁴

E = 36.33×10¯²⁰ J

a 100 watt microwave oven takes 90 secondd to heat a bowl f soup How many joules of energy does it use ?

Answers

Before I answer the question, please let me strip away all the color and decoration of the microwave story:

      (100 watts) = 100 joules per second

        (100 joules/second) x (90 seconds)  =  9,000 joules .


I did that because the "100 watts" on the label on the front of the
microwave oven is the "cooking power" ... the power of the radio
waves that it shoots into the chamber to heat the soup or the meatloaf. 

The whole appliance actually uses a lot more power than that to do its job. 
The light, the turntable, and the cooling fan all use some power, and the
magnetron is not 100% efficient, so the appliance has to put way more
than 100 watts into the magnetron to wind up with 100 watts available
to shoot to the meatloaf.  

When you ask "How much energy does it use ?", the answer is: 
A lot more than what eventually comes blasting into the chamber
to actually cook with.
