You carry a 20 N bag of dog food up a 6.0 m flight of stairs. How much work was done?

1 answer:

8 0

Answer:
120 J

Explanation:

Formula Of Work= Work= Force x Displacement

Work= 20 N x 6.0

Work= 120 Joules

The reason I put joules because the Unit of work is joules

A 0.560 kg snowball is fired from a cliff 14.2 m high with an initial velocity of 13.3 m/s, directed 26.0° above the horizontal.

enot [183]

Answer:

a) v = 21.34 m/s

b) v = 21.34 m/s

c) v = 21.34 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of the snowball, m = 0.560 kg

Height of the cliff, h = 14.2 m

Initial velocity of the ball, u = 13.3 m/s

θ = 26°

The speed of the slow ball as it reaches the ground, v = ?

The initial Kinetic energy of the snow ball, $KE_{0} = 0.5 mu^{2}$

Potential energy of the snow ball at the given height, PE = mgh

Final Kinetic energy of the ball as it reaches the ground, $KE_{f} = 0.5mv^{2}$

a) Using the principle of energy conservation,

$KE_{0} + PE = KE_{f} \\0.5mu^{2} + mgh = 0.5mv^{2}\\v^{2} =2( 0.5u^{2} + gh)\\v^{2} =u^{2} + 2gh\\v = \sqrt{u^{2} + 2gh} \\v = \sqrt{13.3^{2} + 2*9.8*14.2}\\v = 21.34 m/s$

b) The speed remains v = 21.34 m/s since it is not a function of the angle of launch

c)The principle of energy conservation used cancels out the mass of the object, therefore the speed is not dependent on mass

v = 21. 34 m/s

A large fake cookie sliding on a horizontal surface isattached to one end of a horizontal spring with spring constantk = 425 N/m

omeli [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

spring constant k = 425 N/m

a ) At the point of equilibrium

restoring force = frictional force

= kx = 10 N

425 x = 10

x = 2.35 cm

b )

Work done by frictional force

= -10 x 2.35 x 10⁻² x 2 J ( Distance is twice of 2.35 cm )

= - 0.47 J

= Kinetic energy remaining with the cookie as it slides back through the position where the spring is unstretched .

= 425 - 0.47

= 424.53 J

A vat of nitrogen at its boiling point (-196 degrees C) absorbs 384000 J of heat. How much mass of nitrogen burns off? (Unit = k

masya89 [10]

Answer:

1.92 kg of nitrogen.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Heat absorbed (Q) = 384000 J

Note: Heat of vaporisation (ΔHv) of nitrogen = 5600 J/mol

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of nitrogen that absorbed 384000 J.

This is illustrated below:

Q = mol·ΔHv

384000 = mole of N2 x 5600

Divide both side by 5600

Mole of N2 = 384000/5600

Mole of N2 = 68.57 moles

Next, we shall convert 68.57 moles of nitrogen, N2 to grams.

This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of N2 = 2 x 14 = 28 g/mol.

Mole of N2 = 68.57 moles.

Mass of N2 =..?

Mole = mass /molar mass

68.57 = mass of N2 /28

Cross multiply

Mass of N2 = 68.57 x 28

Mass of N2 = 1919.96 g

Finally, we shall convert 1919.96 g to kilograms.

This can be achieved as shown below:

1000g = 1 kg

Therefore,

1919.96 g = 1919.96/1000 = 1.92 kg.

Therefore, 1.92 kg of nitrogen were burned off.
