Answer:

the work done by the lawnmower is 236.14 J.

Explanation:

Given;

power exerted by the lawnmower engine, P = 19 hp

time in which the power was exerted, t = 1 minute = 60 s.

1 hp = 745.7 watts

The work done by the lawnmower is calculated as follows;

$Work = Energy = \frac{Power}{time} \\\\Work = \frac{(19 \times 745.7)}{60} = 236.14 \ J$

Therefore, the work done by the lawnmower is 236.14 J.

Consider two points in an electric field. The potential at point 1, V1, is 33 V. The potential at point 2, V2, is 175 V. An elec

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

ΔU = e(V₂ - V₁) and its value ΔU = -2.275 × 10⁻²¹ J

Explanation:

Since the electric potential at point 1 is V₁ = 33 V and the electric potential at point 2 is V₂ = 175 V, when the electron is accelerated from point 1 to point 2, there is a change in electric potential ΔV which is given by ΔV = V₂ - V₁.

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

ΔV = V₂ - V₁.

ΔV = 175 V - 33 V.

ΔV = 142 V

The change in electric potential energy ΔU = eΔV = e(V₂ - V₁) where e = electron charge = -1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C and ΔV = electric potential change from point 1 to point 2 = 142 V.

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

ΔU = eΔV

ΔU = -1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C × 142 V

ΔU = -227.484 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

ΔU = -2.27484 × 10⁻²¹ J

ΔU ≅ -2.275 × 10⁻²¹ J

So, the required equation for the electric potential energy change is

ΔU = e(V₂ - V₁) and its value ΔU = -2.275 × 10⁻²¹ J

<span>The answer is C. temperature, light level, species of bacteria. All three variables are considerations regarding the reproduction rate of the bacteria. The other three answer choices can be eliminated easily because they each contain at least one irrelevant variable. In particular, all three contain a variable that makes reference to Jack's personal characteristics. These do not have any impact on the experiment and readily stand out to disqualify the entire answer choice.</span>

Two blocks are connected by a light weight, flexible cord that passes over a frictionless pulley.Ifm1=2 kg and m2 = 3 kg, and bl

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

t = 1.41 sec.

Explanation:

If we assume that the acceleration of the blocks is constant, we can apply any of the kinematic equations to get the time since the block 2 was released till it reached the floor.

First, we need to find the value of acceleration, which is the same for both blocks.

If we take as our system both blocks, and think about the pulley as redirecting the force simply (as tension in the strings behave like internal forces) , we can apply Newton's 2nd Law, as they were moving along the same axis, aiming at opposite directions, as follows:

F = m₂*g - m₁*g = (m₁+m₂)*a (we choose as positive the direction of the acceleration, will be the one defined by the larger mass, in this case m₂)

⇒ a = ( $\frac{(m₂-m₁)}({m₁+m₂} * g$ = g/5 m/s²

Once we got the value of a, we can use for instance this kinematic equation, and solve for t:

Δx = 1/2*a*t² ⇒ t² = (2* 1.96m *5)/g = 2 sec² ⇒ t = √2 = 1.41 sec.
