A man who works for a moving company is loading a box onto a moving van. He pushes a 200N box up a 5m long ramp. If he pushes wi

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

η = 0.667 = 66.7%

Explanation:

The efficiency of the man can be given by the following formula:

η = output/input

where,

η = efficiency of man = ?

output = potential energy gain of the box = Wh

input = work done by man = Fd

Therefore,

$\eta = \frac{Wh}{Fd}$

where,

W = weight of box = 200 N

h = height gained by box = 1 m

F = force exerted by man = 60 N

d = length of ramp = 5 m

Therefore,

$\eta = \frac{(200\ N)(1\ m)}{(60\ N)(5\ m)}$

An ideal gas is brought through an isothermal compression process. The 3.00 mol 3.00 mol of gas goes from an initial volume of 2

ozzi

Answer:

The answers can be found by considering the isothermal expansion equation as well as the ideal gas equation from where we have

The temperature T = 602.64K and the final pressure P = 110.24MPa

Explanation:

Numbeer of moles of gas = 3.00 mol

initial volume = 230.8×10−6 m3

final volume = 133.4×10−6 m3 .

released energy = 8240 J

Temperature = Constant = T

Pressure = $p_{f}$ =unknown

From the relation the combined ideal gas law, PV = nRT

Where R = 8.314 4621.JK−1mol−1

we have The release energy from compression P1V1 -P2V2

-qrev = -nRTln( $\frac{V_{2} }{V_{1} }$ ) = 8240J

n = 3

Hence -nRTln( $\frac{V_{2} }{V_{1} }$ ) = 3×8.314 462×ln $(\frac{133.4}{230.8})$ × T= -8240 J

or -13.67×T = -8240J, thus T = -8240/-13.67 = 602.64K

The Final pressure is given by

PV = n×R×T from where we have V = final volume thus

P = (n×R×T)/V = (3×8.134×602.64)÷(133.4× $10^{-6}$ ) = 110237041.1 N/ $m^{2}$ = 110.237MPa

\If we could put all the asteroids together, their total mass would be ________. If we could put all the asteroids together, the

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

much less than the mass of any terrestrial planet

Explanation:

According to www.wikipidia.com

The mass of all the objects of the asteroid belt, lying between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, is estimated to be about 2.8–3.2×1021 kg, or about 4% of the mass of the Moon. Of this, Ceres comprises 0.95×1021 kg, a third of the total.

While mass of terrestrial planet is

5.97 x 1024 kg (which works out to 5,970,000,000,000 trillion metric tons) Earth is the most massive of all the terrestrial planets (www.universetoday.com)

By doing the calculation, mass of all the asteroid are much less than the mass of any terrestrial planet
