Odd though it seems at first, gravity is pulling the cat down while the floor is pushing the cat up - in equal amounts. Forces are absolutely acting on the cat but they balance - so there is no net force.

A 25 - kg television set rests on four rubber pads , each having a height of 1 . 0 cm and a radius of 0 . 60 cm . A 200 - N hori
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Thus it moves 1.7 mm sideways

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the television, m = 25 kg

Height of the rubber pads, h = 1.0 cm = 0.01 m

Radius, R = 0.60 cm = 0.006 m

Horizontal force, F = 200 N

Shear Modulus of Rubber, G = 2.6\times 10^{6}\ N/m^{2}

Now,

To calculate the distance moved:

G = \frac{shear\ stress}{shear\ strain}

G = \frac{\frac{Force}{Area}}{\frac{\Delta l}{L}} = \frac{Fl}{A\Delta L}

where

\Delta L = distance moved

Area of 4 rubber pads, A = 4\times \pi R^{2}

Now,

\Delta L = \frac{200\times 0.01}{4\times \pi 0.006^{2}\times 2.6\times 10^{6}} = 1.7\times 10^{- 3}\ m = 1.7\ mm

A heat engine operates with 70.0 kcal of heat supplied and exhausts 30.0 kcal of heat. How much work did the engine do?
gladu [14]

The work done by the heat engine is 40 kCal.

The given parameters;

  • input heat of the engine, Q₁ = 70 kCal
  • output heat of the engine, Q₂ = 30 kCal

To find:

  • the work done by the heat engine

The work done by the heat engine is the change in the heat energy of the engine;

W = Q₂ - Q₁

Substitute the given parameters and solve work done (W)

W = 70 kCal - 30 kal

W = 40 kCal

Thus, the work done by the heat engine is 40 kCal.
