The thermal energy that is generated due to friction is 344J.

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

Now we know that the total mechanical energy in the system is constant. The loss in energy is given by the loss in energy.

Thus, the kinetic energy is given as;

KE = 0.5 * mv^2 =0.5 * 15.0-kg * (1.10 m/s)^2 = 9.1 J

PE = mgh = 15.0-kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 2.40 m = 352.8 J

The thermal energy is; 352.8 J - 9.1 J = 344J

A 12 oz can of soda is left in a car on a hot day. In the morning the soda temperature was 60oF with a gauge pressure of 40 psi.

Neko [114]

In this case, volume of the can remains constant. The relationship between pressure and temperature at constant volume is given by:

P/T = Constant

Then
$\frac{ P_{1} }{ T_{1} } = \frac{ P_{2} }{ T_{2} }$

Where
P1 = 40 psi
P2 = ?
T1 = 60°F ≈ 289 K
T2 = 90°F ≈ 305 K (note, 363 K is not right)

Substituting;
$P_{2} = \frac{ P_{1} T_{2} }{ T_{1} } = \frac{40*305}{289} =42.21 psi$

The earth has radius R. A satellite of mass 100 kg is in orbit at an altitude of 3R above the earth's surface. What is the satel

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

W= 61.3 N

Explanation:

The only force acting on the satellite is the one due to the attraction from Earth, which obeys the Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation, as follows:

Fg =G*ms*me / (res)²

This force, also obeys the Newton's 2nd Law, so we can write the following equation:

G*ms*me*/ (res)² = ms* a = ms*g

We call to the product of the mass times the acceleration caused by gravity (g), the weight of this mass, so we can write as follows:

G*ms*me / (res)² = ms*g = W (1)

where G = 6.67*10⁻11 N*m²/kg², ms= 100 kg, me= 5.97*10²⁴ kg, and

res= 4 *re = 4*6.37*10⁶ m.

Replacing all these known values in (1), we get the value of W:

W =(( 6.67*5.97/(4*6.37)²) *( 10⁻¹¹ * 10²⁴ /10¹²) )* 100 N = 61.3 N

A mover pushes a 46.0kg crate 10.3m across a rough floor without acceleration. How much work did the mover do (horizontally) pus

Alchen [17]

Answer:

<h3>2,321.62Joules</h3>

Explanation:

The formula for calculating workdone is expressed as;

Workdone = Force * Distance

Get the force

F = nR

n is the coefficient of friction = 0.5

R is the reaction = mg

R = 46 ( 9.8)

R = 450.8N

F = 0.5 * 450.8

F = 225.4N

Distance = 10.3m

Get the workdone

Workdone = 225.4 * 10.3

Workdone = 2,321.62Joules

<em>Hence the amount of work done is 2,321.62Joules</em>

The sun is 150,000,000 km from the earth.

Answer:

<h3>What is the angular speed of the earth around the sun? </h3>

It takes the Earth approximately 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.09 seconds to make one complete revolution (360 degrees). This length of time is known as a sidereal day. The Earth rotates at a moderate angular velocity of

$7.2921159 × 10 {}^{ - 5} \: \: \frac{radians}{second}$

<h3>What is the tangential speed of the earth? </h3>

The earth rotates once every 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.09053 seconds, called the sidereal period, and its circumference is roughly 40,075 kilometers. Thus, the surface of the earth at the equator moves at a speed of 460 meters per second--or roughly 1,000 miles per hour.
