Students have asked these similar questions
la. A lawn tool is powered by a 56 volt, 2.5 Ah (amp-hour) battery. When fully charged what is the
equivalent in gasoline (gal) of the energy stored in the battery if gasoline has an energy content of
120,300 Btu/gal?
b. If the battery is fully charged and powers the DC motor on the tool at the rate of 280 Watts, estimate
how long (minutes) this motor will operate before the battery is discharged.
been having trouble with this, how would you solve this?
An electron is injected between two oppositely charged parallel plates connected to a DC voltage supply. The distance between the plates is 6.50 mm and the electron, initially at rest, accelerates towards the positive plate gaining 8.25 ´ 10-18 J of kinetic energy.
Based on the above information, what will the mption of electrons be? (uniform motion towards the neg/pos plate, accelerated motion towards neg/pos plate)
please explain step by step
why does the voltage vs time graph look like this?

Hybrids get much better mileage in the stop and go of city driving than conventional vehicles do. When you brake to a stop in a conventional car, friction converts the kinetic energy of the car’s motion into thermal energy in the brakes. In a typical hybrid car, depressing the brake pedal will connect a generator that converts much of the car’s kinetic energyinto chemical energy in a battery. Explain how this makes a hybrid vehicle more efficient.arrow_forward
