A 5.0 kg box slides down a 4.0 m long ramp that makes a 25 angle with the ground. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.65

, how much thermal energy was produced?
Physics

Sedaia [141]2 years ago
4 0

The thermal energy was produced is 116J

<h3>What is the thermal energy produced?</h3>

Now we know that the frictional force produces the energy that is lost as heat as the body slides down the incline. The magnitude of the frictional force is obtained from;

Ff= μmgcosθ

Ff =  0.65 *  5.0 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * cos 25

Ff = 29 N

Hence, the thermal energy is;

29 N * 4.0 m = 116J

What is the magnitude of the kinetic frictional force
Effectus [21]

The magnitude of the kinetic friction force, ƒk, on an object is. Where μk is called the kinetic friction coefficient and |FN| is the magnitude of the normal force of the surface on the sliding object. The kinetic friction coefficient is entirely determined by the materials of the sliding surfaces. hope it helps

A person swings a 0.546-kg tether ball tied to a 4.56-m rope in an approximately horizontal circle. If the maximum tension the r
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

2.1 rad/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a tether ball, m = 0.546 kg

Length of a rope, l =  4.56 m

The maximum tension the rope can withstand before breaking is 11.0 N

We need to find the maximum angular speed of the ball. Let v is the linear velocity. The maximum tension is balanced by the centripetal force acting on it. It can be given by :

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{11\times 4.56}{0.546}} \\\\=9.584\ m/s

Let \omega is the angular speed of the ball. The relation between the angular speed and angular velocity is given by :

v=r\omega\\\\\omega=\dfrac{v}{r}\\\\=\dfrac{9.584}{4.56}\\\\=2.1\ rad/s

So, the maximum angular speed of the ball is 2.1 rad/s.

The energy content of a certain food is to be determined in a bomb calorimeter that contains 3 kg of water by burning a 2-g samp
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

20.179 x 10⁶ J /kg

Explanation:

The food after the reaction gives out heat which increases the temperature of water and air in the reaction chamber . The heat absorbed by water and air gives the estimate of energy content of the food.

Heat absorbed by water = mass x specific heat x rise in temperature

=  3 x 4.18 x 10³ x 3.2

= 40.128 x 10³ J

Heat absorbed by air  = mass x specific heat x rise in temperature

0.1 x 3. 2 x .718 x 10³

= 0.23 x 10³

Total heat energy evolved

= 40.358 x 10³ J

This energy is evolved by 2 x 10⁻³ kg of food

energy content per kg of food

= 40.358 x 10³ / 2 x 10⁻³

= 20.179 x 10⁶ J /kg
