Answer:

The work done and power are 60000 Pounds-feet and 3000 Pounds-feet/sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force F = 1500 pounds

Distance d = 40 feet

Time t = 40 sec

Work done :

The work done is the product of the force and distance.

The work done is defined as,

$W = F \times d$

Where, W = work

F = force

d = distance

Put the value into the formula of work

$W= 1500\times40$

$W = 60000\ Pounds-feet$

Power:

The power is equal to the work done divided by time.

The power is defined as,

$P = \dfrac{W}{t}$

Where, P = power

W = work

t = time

Put the value into the formula of power

$P = \dfrac{60000}{20}$

$P=3000\ Pounds-feet/s$

Hence, The work done and power are 60000 Pounds-feet and 3000 Pounds-feet/sec.

Work = f x s = 1500 x 40
power = w/t = (1500 x 40) / 20

A student, standing on a scale in an elevator at rest, sees that his weight is 840 N. As the elevator rises, his weight increase

ololo11 [35]

As per FBD while its accelerating upwards

we can say that

$F_n - mg = ma$

here normal force is given as

$F_n = 1050 N$

$W = 840 N$

now mass is given as

$m(9.8) = 840$

$m = 85.7 kg$

now we will have

$1050 - 840 = 85.7 \times a$

$a = 2.45 m/s^2$

Now while accelerating downwards we can say by FBD

$mg - F_n = ma$

again plug in all values

$840 - 588 = 85.7 \times a$

$a = 2.94 m/s^2$

If all the stars in an elliptical galaxy traveled random directions in their orbits, the elliptical galaxy would be type

Lemur [1.5K]

The answer would be E7. Galaxies categorized as E0 look to be nearly perfect, while those registered as E7 seem much extended than they are widespread. It is worth noting, though, that a galaxy's look is connected to how it lies on the sky when viewed from Earth. An E7 galaxy is very long and thin or the flattest of them all.

(a) What is the entropy change of a 14.6 g ice cube that melts completely in a bucket of water whose temperature is just above t

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

a) 17.81 J/K

b) 33.325 J/K

Explanation:

The expression to use here is the following:

ΔS = Q/T

Where:

Q: heat released or absorbed

T: Temperature in K

Now, in order to do this, we need to gather the data. We know that the temperature in part a) is above the freezing temperature of water, which is 0 ° C or 273 K. and the mass of the ice cube is 14.6 g.

a) Using the water heat of fusion (Cause it's melting), we can calculated the heat released using the following expression:

Q = m * Lf

Lf = 333,000 J/kg

Solving for Q first we have:

Q = (14.6 / 1000) * 333,000

Q = 4,861.8 J

Now, the entropy change is:

ΔS = 4,861.8 / 273

ΔS = 17.81 J/K

b) In this part, we follow the same procedure than in part a) but using the water heat of boiling (Lv = 2,256,000 J/kg), the temperature of boiling which is 100 °C (or 373 K) and the mass of 5.51 g (0.00551 kg)

Calculating the heat:

Q = 0.00551 * 2,256,000 = 12,430.56 J

Now the entropy change:

ΔS = 12,430.56 / 373

ΔS = 33.325 J/K

According to newton, doubling the distance between two interacting objects:

Furkat [3]

Answer:

So as two objects are separated from each other, the force of gravitational attraction between them also decreases. If the separation distance between two objects is doubled (increased by a factor of 2), then the force of gravitational attraction is decreased by a factor of 4 (2 raised to the second power).
