Answer:

Resultant horizontal force = 143 N

Explanation:

Since the a gle is 30° northwest, then it means the resultant force will be horizontal and as such;

Resultant horizontal force = 165 * cos 30

Resultant horizontal force = 142.89

Approximating to a whole number gives;

Resultant horizontal force = 143 N

Find the hiker’s gravitational potential energy if the cliff is 60m high

Furkat [3]

Answer:

Potential energy is $U=mgh$

Explanation:

The potential energy depends on the mass, the acceleration of gravity g and the height at which the object or person is.

Potential energy $U=mgh$

In this case we would need to know the exact mass of the hiker in order to calculate the potential energy.

But we know the values of g and h

$g=9.81m/s^2$

$h=60m$

So, the potential energy

$U=m(9.81m/s^2)(60m)\\\\U=588.6*m$

m is the mass of the hiker, wich is not in the description of the problem.

What change occurs to the mass of an object when an unbalanced force is applied to it

strojnjashka [21]

The mass of an object always stays the same since it is really just the amount of matter in an object so no matter the force applied, as long as the object does not lose or gain matter, the object stays the same

When a gas is heated, it absorbs 196 joules of heat from the surroundings. At the same time, the gas expands, doing pressure-vol

timurjin [86]

Answer:

(a) q positive; w negative.

(b) ΔE = -126 J

Explanation:

(a) Determine whether the amounts of heat (q) and work (w) exchanged should have positive or negative signs. heat (q) positive negative work (w) positive negative

By convention, when the system absorbs heat from the surroundings, its sign is positive, that is, q = 196 J.

By convention, when the system exerts work on the surroundings, its sign is negative, that is, w = -322 J.

(b) Calculate the change in internal energy (ΔE) of the gas. J

The change in internal energy (ΔE) can be calculated using the following expression.

ΔE = q + w

ΔE = 196 J + (-322 J) = -126 J

(c) Determine whether one or more of the following is a state function:

internal energy (E) of a system,

change in internal energy (ΔE) of a system,

heat (q) absorbed or released by a system,

work (w) done on or by a system.

E and ΔE are state functions (they only depend on the states of the gas), whereas q and w depend on the trajectory.

How is coulomb's law similar to newton's law of gravity?

Umnica [9.8K]

Newton's law of gravitation is attractive, whereas Coulomb's law is attractive or repulsive. Both are proportional to the inverse square of distance.
