Answer:

A flea can attain a maximum elevation of 51 mm.

Explanation:

Hello!

The following equations describe the height and velocity of the flea:

During the jump:

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

v = v0 + a · t

In free fall:

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

h = flea's height at time t.

h0 = initial height.

v0 = starting velocity.

t = time interval.

a = flea's acceleration while jumping.

v = flea's velocity at that specific time.

g = gravitational acceleration.

Initially, we need to determine the time taken for the flea to attain a height of 0.0005 m. This will help us calculate the flea's velocity during the jump:

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

If we assume the ground as the origin, thus h0 = 0. Since the flea starts stationary, v0 = 0. Therefore:

h = 1/2 · a · t²

We need to find the value of t when h = 0.0005 m:

0.0005 m = 1/2 · 1000 m/s² · t²

0.0005 m / 500 m/s² = t²

t = 0.001 s

Next, we calculate the velocity achieved during that time:

v = v0 + a · t (v0 = 0)

v = a · t

v = 1000 m/s² · 0.001 s

v = 1.00 m/s

At a height of 0.50 mm, the flea's velocity stands at 1.00 m/s. This initial speed will reduce due to gravity's downward pull. When the speed reaches zero, the flea will have reached its peak height. Using the velocity equation, let's determine the time taken to reach maximum height (v = 0):

v = v0 + g · t

At peak height, v = 0:

0 m/s = 1.00 m/s - 9.81 m/s² · t

-1.00 m/s / -9.81 m/s² = t

t = 0.102 s

Now, we can compute the height attained by the flea during this time:

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

h = 0.0005 m + 1.00 m/s · 0.102 s - 1/2 · 9.81 m/s² · (0.102 s)²

h = 0.051 m

A flea reaches a maximum height of 51 mm.

Ostrovityanka [3204]

Answer:

Explanation:

The equation used to determine the maximum height of the bowling pin during its trajectory is given by;

H = u²/2g

where u, the initial speed/velocity, equals 10m/s

g stands for gravitational acceleration = 9.81m/s²

Substituting in the values gives us

H = 10²/2(9.81)

H = 100/19.62

Consequently, the highest point of the bowling pin's center of mass is approximately 5.0m.

ValentinkaMS [3465]
We will utilize Wien's displacement law, given by the equation λ T = b, where λ represents the wavelength of emitted light from a heated object at maximum. By substituting the provided temperature and constant b into the equation, we find λ for various temperatures: at 500 K, λ = 5.796 μm or 5796 nm; at 1050 K, λ = 2760 nm; at 1800 K, λ = 1610 nm; and at 2500 K, λ = 1159.2 nm. The visible light spectrum starts at 740 nm, suggesting that at 2500 K, some visible red light may emerge as its calculated peak wavelength is within the visible range.

An aluminum "12 gauge" wire has a diameter d of 0.205 centimeters. The resistivity ρ of aluminum is 2.75×10−8 ohm-meters. The el
Sav [3153]

Complete Question

An aluminum "12 gauge" wire measures a diameter of 0.205 centimeters. The resistivity ρ of aluminum is 2.75×10−8 ohm-meters. The electric field E in the wire varies over time as E(t)=0.0004t2−0.0001t+0.0004 newtons per coulomb, where time is recorded in seconds.

At time 5 seconds, I = 1.2 A.

We need to find the charge Q traveling through a cross-section of the conductor from time 0 to time 5 seconds.

Answer:

The charge is  Q =2.094 C

Explanation:

The question indicates that

    The wire’s diameter is  d = 0.205cm = 0.00205 \ m

     The radius of the wire is  r = \frac{0.00205}{2} = 0.001025 \ m

     Aluminum's resistivity is 2.75*10^{-8} \ ohm-meters.

       The electric field variation is described as

         E (t) = 0.0004t^2 - 0.0001 +0.0004

     

The charge is effectively given by the equation

       Q = \int\limits^{t}_{0} {\frac{A}{\rho} E(t) } \, dt

Where A is the area expressed as

       A = \pi r^2 = (3.142 * (0.001025^2)) = 3.30*10^{-6} \ m^2

 Thus,

       \frac{A}{\rho} = \frac{3.3 *10^{-6}}{2.75 *10^{-8}} = 120.03 \ m / \Omega

Therefore

      Q = 120 \int\limits^{t}_{0} { E(t) } \, dt

By substituting values

      Q = 120 \int\limits^{t}_{0} { [ 0.0004t^2 - 0.0001t +0.0004] } \, dt

     Q = 120 [ \frac{0.0004t^3 }{3} - \frac{0.0001 t^2}{2} +0.0004t] } \left | t} \atop {0}} \right.

The question states that t =  5 seconds

           Q = 120 [ \frac{0.0004t^3 }{3} - \frac{0.0001 t^2}{2} +0.0004t] } \left | 5} \atop {0}} \right.

          Q = 120 [ \frac{0.0004(5)^3 }{3} - \frac{0.0001 (5)^2}{2} +0.0004(5)] }

         Q =2.094 C

According to the second law, heat, often called thermal energy, cannot be entirely turned into work.
The second statement is closely tied to this law.
We can conclude that some energy dissipates while some is used for work.

What is the minimum amount of energy required to completely melt a 7.25-kg lead brick which has a starting temperature of 18.0 °
Ostrovityanka [3204]

Answer: c. 4.56 × 105 J

Explanation:

Given the mass of the lead brick, m = 7.25 kg

Starting temperature T1 = 18.0 °C

Ending temperature T2 = 328 °C

The specific heat capacity for lead, c = 128 J/(kg∙°C)

And the latent heat of fusion Lfusion = 23,200 J/kg

The required energy Q =?

Using the following equations

Energy required, Q = mc (T2 - T1) + mLfusion

Substituting in the values we have: 7.25 kg * 128 J/(kg∙°C) * (328 - 18°C) + 7.25 kg * 23200 J/kg

= 455880 J

= 4.56 x 10^5 J
