Answer:

Explanation:

For a 60W light bulb used for 1 minute:

P = 60 W

t = 1 minute = 60 seconds

This energy is capable of lifting an object weighing 10N.

W = 10N

This indicates conversion of electrical energy into potential energy.

Let's calculate the electrical energy:

Power describes the rate of work done.

Power = Work / time

Thus, work = power × time

Work = 60 × 60

Work = 3600 J

Potential energy calculation:

P.E = mgh

Where the weight is given by:

W = mg

Therefore, P.E = W·h

P.E = 10·h

Thus, we equate:

Potential energy = Electrical energy

P.E = Work

10·h = 3600

Dividing both sides by 10 gives:

h = 3600 / 10

h = 360m

The object can be lifted to a height of 360m.

Softa [3030]

To solve this problem, it's crucial to convert all measurements to the same units.
We first need to convert 80 minutes into hours.
So:

80 minutes × (1 hour ÷ 60 minutes) = 1.3333 hours.
The flow rate we have is Q = 150 liters per hour.

To determine how many liters of water are released, we perform the following calculation:
150 liters/hour × 1.333 hours = 200 liters.

In conclusion, 200 liters of water will be released in 80 minutes.

Steam transforms into gas as it escapes into the atmosphere. Even if you manage to capture the steam as it ascends, it can revert to H2O when it cools down. Due to the evaporation process, the final volume of water will differ from the original amount.

A spinning wheel is slowed down by a brake, giving it a constant angular acceleration of 25.60 rad/s2. During a 4.20-s time inte

Yuliya22 [3333]

We will use the equations of rotational kinematics,

$\theta =\theta _{0} + \omega_{0} t+ \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2$ (A)

$\omega^2= \omega^2_{0} +2\alpha\theta$ (B)

Here, $\theta$ and $\theta _{0}$ denote the final and initial angular displacements, respectively, whereas $\omega$ and $\omega_{0}$ represent final and initial angular velocities, and $\alpha$ is the angular acceleration.

We are provided with $\alpha = - 25.60 \ rad/s^2, \theta = 62.4 \ rad$ and $t = 4.20 \ s$ .

By substituting these values into equation (A), we have

$62.4 \ rad = 0 + \omega_{0} 4.20 \ s + \frac{1}{2} (- 25.60 \ rad/s^2) ( 4.20)^2 \\\\ \omega_{0} = \frac{220.5+ 62.4 }{4.20} =67.4 \ rad/s$

Now, using equation (B),

$\omega^2=(67.4 \ rad/s)^2 + 2 (- 25.60 \ rad/s^2)62.4 \ rad \\\\\ \omega = 36.7 \ rad/s$

This indicates that the wheel's angular speed at the 4.20-second mark is 36.7 rad/s.
