gravity is 9.8 m/s^2, what is the meteor's potential energy if it has a mass of 10
kg at an altitude of 400 m?
O A. 408 J
O B. 7,840,000 J
O C. 2J
O D. 39,200 J

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

39,200J

Explanation:

just took the test

Answer 2

The meteor's potential energy if it has a mass of 10kg at an altitude of 400 m will be 39200 J

What is potential energy ?

Potential Energy that depend upon the relative position of various parts of system . It is an energy possessed by an object by virtue of its position or configuration.

mass(m)  = 10kg

g (acceleration due to gravity) = 9.8m/s^2

altitude(height (h)) = 400m

Meteor's Potential energy = m * g * h

                                           = 10 * 9.8 * 400 = 39200 J

correct option will be a) 39200 J

A team of engineers is working with a wind turbine. The team is working with a model and testing different angles for the blade of the wind turbine. What would the research question be for this team?
Which angle converts the largest percentage of potential energy from the wind into kinetic energy of the turbine?

Which angle converts the largest percentage of kinetic energy from the wind into kinetic energy of the turbine?

Which angle converts the largest percentage of potential energy from the wind into potential energy of the turbine?

Which angle converts the largest percentage of kinetic energy from the wind into potential energy of the turbine?

Answers

Answer:it would be which angle converts the most potential energy to into kinetic energy of the turbine

Explanation:

The best research question would be finding the angle that converts the largest percentage of kinetic energy from the wind into kinetic energy of the turbine.

What is Mechanical energy?

Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy of the body. Mathematically -

E[M] = E[K] + E[P] = 1/2mv² + mgh = m(1/2v² + gh)

Given is a team of engineers is working with a wind turbine. The team is working with a model and testing different angles for the blade of the wind turbine.

Flowing wind carries very small particles and other light components it finds in its way. The sum of the kinetic energies of these individual particles and components are responsible for the kinetic energy of the flowing wind. Now, this wind is utilized to rotate the turbine blades and generate electricity. In this process, the kinetic energy of the wind does work on the blades of the turbine such that the amount of work done causes the blades to rotate. Now, the rotating blades will have rotational kinetic energy. For a mathematical model -

E[wind] = E[blades]

1/2mv² = 1/2Iω²mv² = Iω²

mv² - Iω² = 0

Hence, the total energy remains conserved.

Therefore, the best research question would be finding the angle that converts the largest percentage of kinetic energy from the wind into kinetic energy of the turbine.

The creation of carbon monoxide is an effect. What is one cause?

Answers

Answer:

THE PROBLEM

Carbon monoxide (CO)—a colorless, odorless, tasteless, and toxic air pollutant—is produced in the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels, such as gasoline, natural gas, oil, coal, and wood. The largest anthropogenic source of CO in the United States is vehicle emissions.

Explanation:

The incomplete burning of the natural gases petrol or diesel is one of the causes of the creation of carbon monoxide.

What is pollution?

It can be defined as the origination of the contaminant substance that poisonous or harmful to our natural environment.

In our environment, pollution can take many different forms depending on the quantity and nature of the contaminant. For instance, the eutrophication process can result in water pollution.

Air pollution persists due to the contaminants present in atmospheric air such as smog.

Land pollution exists because of contaminated soil in the lithosphere.

There are several other types of pollution as well such are sound pollution, radioactive pollution, plastic pollution, oil spill pollution, etc.

When hydrocarbon fuels (such as natural gas, gasoline, and diesel) are burned, carbon monoxide is also produced as a pollutant. The effectiveness of combustion determines the relative amount of CO produced. During their MOT test, older vehicles are inspected yearly for CO emissions. It's interesting to note that only one of the two carbon oxides inhibits combustion; for this reason, carbon dioxide is used in fire extinguishers.

One of the factors contributing to the production of carbon monoxide is the incomplete burning of natural gases such as gasoline or diesel.

The turbines can be seen inside this hydroelectric dam. Why are they located at that particular height?

(1 point)

There is a small drop, so the water will still have a lot of kinetic energy to transfer to the turbine.

There is a large drop, so the water will have a lot of kinetic energy to transfer to the turbine.

There is a large drop, so the water will have a lot of potential energy to transfer to the turbine.

There is a small drop, so the water will still have a lot of potential energy to transfer to the turbine.

Answers

Answer: The answer is number is two

Explanation: Because as it says there is a large drop, so the water will still have a lot of kinetic energy to transfer to the turbine.

In the hydroelectric dam, there is a large drop, so the water will have a lot of potential energy to transfer to the turbine. Therefore, option (C) is correct.

How is the energy transformed in the hydroelectric dam?

In the hydroelectric dam, electric energy is generated using water from a turbine. The flowing water is utilized to propel the turbines. At first, a huge amount of the flowing water has stored across the dams. The kinetic energy of flowing water is stored in the form potential energy in the dams.

Then the stored water in the dam will fall on the turbines so that the turbines are placed in the deep and rotate the turbines and the potential energy of water to the turbines which converted into mechanical energy.

Then the turbines rotate and generate electricity and the mechanical energy is transformed into electrical energy.

Therefore, turbines in the hydroelecric dams are located at particuler height.

Answer:

the answer is the third question

Explanation:

because while the water is behind the dam it has potential energy and while it goes down it stores up  kinetic energy then generators convert all the energy into electricity and that is one source that makes power

Kinetic energy is highest at the bottom; potential energy is highest at the top, therefore the correct answer is option D.

What is mechanical energy?

As total mechanical energy is the sum of all the kinetic as well as potential energy stored in the system.

ME = KE + PE

As given in the problem we have to find out which statement correctly identifies the relative levels of kinetic and potential energy in a hydroelectric dam,

The total mechanical energy of the water in a hydroelectric dam is the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy which interconvert into each other.

Thus, Kinetic energy is highest at the bottom; potential energy is highest at the top, therefore the correct answer is option D.

A box moved 33 meters down a factory conveyor belt at a constant velocity. It moved that distance in
1.5 minutes. What was the box's velocity?

Answers

Since the box is moving at a constant speed and in a rectilinear path, we can then say:

[tex]d = v \times t[/tex]

where d is the distance traveled.where v is the speed.& t is the time taken.

[tex]v= \frac{d}{t} = \frac{33}{1.5 \times 60} = \frac{33}{90} = 0.3666 \: meters \: per \: sec[/tex]

Don't forget to change from minutes to seconds by multiplying by 60.

Distance= 33 m
Time= 90 sec

Velocity= 33/90
