Let's assume for a moment that your house uses an average of 16kWh of electrical energy per day. If you could covert  the mass o

f a 46g golf ball into electrical energy, how many years supply of energy would you have? Note: 1 kWh = 3.6 x 10^6 J
Use the equation E = mc^2 to solve the question. 
Please show your work. Thanks in advance for your help!

Holy cow !

Before we do the mass-energy conversion, and then relate that to the
household energy usage, we have to get some numbers in order, and
massage some units etc.:

46 grams = 0.046 kg
c = 3 x 10^8 m/s
c² = 9 x 10^16 m²/s²
===========================

Household daily energy consumption:

(16 kilowatt-hour) = (16 x 1,000watt x hour) = (16 x 1,000 joule/sec x hour)

16,000 (joule-hour/sec) x (3,600 sec/hour) = (16,000 x 3,600) = 5.76 x 10^7 joule

I just noticed that the question GAVE us the joule equivalent of 1 kWh, so it
wasn't necessary to derive it.  I checked my figure here against that one, and
got the same number ... 5.76 x 10^7 joule per day.   So I'm OK so far.    yay!
===========================

Now we have everything we need:

E = m c² = (0.046) x (9 x 10^16)  =  4.14 x 10^15 joules in a golf ball of mass.

(4.14 x 10^15 joules) / (5.76 x 10^7 joules per day) = <u>71,875,000 days</u>

That's roughly  <em><u>196,783 years</u></em>  of typical household electrical energy use.
(assuming that every year was, is, and shall always be  365-1/4 days.)

A rotating wheel requires 8.00 s to rotate 27.0 revolutions. Its angular velocity at the end of the 8.00-s interval is 99.0 rad/
Fofino [41]

Answer:

∝ = 28.92 rad/s²

Explanation:

Applying third equation of motion to the angular motion, we have:

2∝θ = ωf² - ωi²

where,

∝ = angular acceleration = ?

θ = angular displacement = (27 rev)(2π rad/1 rev) = 169.64 rad/s

ωf = final angular velocity = 99 rad/s

ωi = initial angular velocity = 0 rad/s

Therefore,

(2)∝(169.64 rad) = (99 rad/s)² - (0 rad/s²)

∝ = (9801 rad²/s²)/(38.8 rad)

<u>∝ = 28.92 rad/s²</u>

Find the kinetic energy of a ball of mass 200 grams moving at a speed of 20 m/s.​
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

40KJ

Explanation:

m=200g

V=20m/s

Ek=?

Ek=(m*V²)/2

Ek=(200*20²)/2

Ek=(200*400)/2

Ek=80 000/2

Ek=40 000 J =40KJ
