a bucket of water of mass 20kg is pulled at a constant velocity up to a platform 40 meters above the ground. this takes 10 minut

es , during which time 5kg of water drips out at a steady rate through a hole in the bottom . find the work required to raise the bucket to the platform.

<span>Taking into account the information above, we know the average mass of the bucket of water may be m=20-5/2=17.5kg. As the bucket of water is pulled at a "constant velocity" the work required to raise the bucket to the platform transformed into the potential energy of the bucket of water. That is why it should be W=mgh=17.5*9.8*40=6860J</span>

When plugging in metric facts, always remember that 1 big unit = # small units. Fill in these facts: 1.________ s= ________μs 2.
balandron [24]

Answer:

1. 1 s = 1 x 10⁶ μs

2. 1 g = 0.001 kg

3. 1 km = 1000 m

4. 1 mm = 1 x 10⁻³ m

5. 1 mL = 1 x 10⁻³ L  

6. 1 g = 100 dg

7. 1 cm = 1 x 10⁻² m

8. 1 ms = 1 x 10⁻³ s

Explanation:

1.

1 x 10⁻⁶ s = 1 μs

(1 x 10⁻⁶ x 10⁶) s = 1 x 10⁶ μs

<u>1 s = 1 x 10⁶ μs</u>

2.

1000 g = 1 kg

1 g = 1/1000 kg

<u>1 g = 0.001 kg</u>

3.

<u>1 km = 1000 m</u>

<u></u>

4.

<u>1 mm = 1 x 10⁻³ m</u>

<u></u>

5.

<u>1 mL = 1 x 10⁻³ L</u>

<u></u>

6.

1 x 10⁻² g = 1 dg

(1 x 10⁻² x 10²) g = 1 x 10² dg

<u>1 g = 100 dg</u>

<u></u>

7.

<u>1 cm = 1 x 10⁻² m</u>

<u></u>

8.

<u>1 ms = 1 x 10⁻³ s</u>

A materials density is the same , no matter how large or small the sample is or what it’s shape is as long as it is solid unifor
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

Density is defined as the relationship between mass and volume, i.e. the following equation can be used:

density = m/v

where:

density [kg/m^3]

m = mass [kg]

v = volume [m^3]

If we change the volume of a body by reducing its size, its mass will also decrease proportionally with a density as seen in the equation.

m = density*v

To understand this concept more clearly, let's use the following example:

We know that the density of water is equal to 1000 [kg/m^3], that is, 1 cubic meter of water contains 1000 kilograms of water, using the equation.

1000 = m /1

m = 1000*1 = 1000 [kg]

Now if we have 500 kilograms of water, that would pass with the volume so that the density remains constant.

1000 = 500/v

v = 500/1000

v = 0.5 [m^3]

We can see that the volume of water has halved. Since the mass of water was reduced by half. That is, the relationship between mass and volume is proportional to the density of the material or substance.

Solution A has a specific heat of 2.0 J/g◦C. Solution B has a specific heat of 3.8 J/g◦C. If equal masses of both solutions start
fgiga [73]

Answer: 2. Solution A attains a higher temperature.

Explanation: Specific heat simply means, that amount of heat which is when supplied to a unit mass of a substance will raise its temperature by 1°C.

In the given situation we have equal masses of two solutions A & B, out of which A has lower specific heat which means that a unit mass of solution A requires lesser energy to raise its temperature by 1°C than the solution B.

Since, the masses of both the solutions are same and equal heat is supplied to both, the proportional condition will follow.

<em>We have a formula for such condition,</em>

Q=m.c.\Delta T.....................................(1)

where:

  • \Delta T= temperature difference
  • Q= heat energy
  • m= mass of the body
  • c= specific heat of the body

<u>Proving mathematically:</u>

<em>According to the given conditions</em>

  • we have equal masses of two solutions A & B, i.e. m_A=m_B
  • equal heat is supplied to both the solutions, i.e. Q_A=Q_B
  • specific heat of solution A, c_{A}=2.0 J.g^{-1} .\degree C^{-1}
  • specific heat of solution B, c_{B}=3.8 J.g^{-1} .\degree C^{-1}
  • \Delta T_A & \Delta T_B are the change in temperatures of the respective solutions.

Now, putting the above values

Q_A=Q_B

m_A.c_A. \Delta T_A=m_B.c_B . \Delta T_B\\\\2.0\times \Delta T_A=3.8 \times \Delta T_B\\\\ \Delta T_A=\frac{3.8}{2.0}\times \Delta T_B\\\\\\\frac{\Delta T_{A}}{\Delta T_{B}} = \frac{3.8}{2.0}>1

Which proves that solution A attains a higher temperature than solution B.
