This is a defective, misleading question, and should never be asked in a Physics class.
There is no such thing as the force due to the impact.
If you know how long it takes the clam to stop once it begins to hit the dirt,
then you can calculate the impulse transferred to it, and tease a force out
of that. But the question doesn't give us the time.
It depends on the material of the surface. Was the clam dropped onto dirt ?
Into a dumpster ? Onto grass ? Concrete ? Styrofoam ? Mud ? The answer
is different in each case, and we still need to know the short length of time
AFTER it first encountered whatever surface brought it to rest.
I would kick this question back to the Physics teacher. It's meaningless,
and the longer you try to work on it, the more nonsense you'll plant into
your head that'll need to be dug out later.
Solar energy, because of solar panels, hydroelectricity from a dam, or fossil fuels. fossil fuels would be the most ideal because it is more commonly used
Answer:
ΔU = - 310.6 J (negative sign indicates decrease in internal energy)
W = 810.6 J
Explanation:
a.
Using first law of thermodynamics:
Q = ΔU + W
where,
Q = Heat Absorbed = 500 J
ΔU = Change in Internal Energy of Gas = ?
W = Work Done = PΔV =
P = Pressure = 2 atm = 202650 Pa
ΔV = Change in Volume = 10 L - 6 L = 4 L = 0.004 m³
Therefore,
Q = ΔU + PΔV
500 J = ΔU + (202650 Pa)(0.004 m³)
ΔU = 500 J - 810.6 J
<u>ΔU = - 310.6 J (negative sign indicates decrease in internal energy)</u>
<u></u>
b.
The work done can be simply calculated as:
W = PΔV
W = (202650 Pa)(0.004 m³)
<u>W = 810.6 J</u>
Find the force that would be required in the absence of friction first, then calculate the force of friction and add them together. This is done because the friction force is going to have to be compensated for. We will need that much more force than we otherwise would to achieve the desired acceleration:
The friction force will be given by the normal force times the coefficient of friction. Here the normal force is just its weight, mg
Now the total force required is:
0.0702N+0.803N=0.873N
Answer:
Diffusing the gradient ensures that most of the molecules in high concentration zone will wind up in the previously low concentration by the spontaneous movement of small molecules.
Explanation:
A gradient of concentration is the difference between in concentration of one place / area substance to different area. Having a molecule flow down its concentration gradient means moving the molecules from hypotonic areas to the concentration hypertonic areas
Diffusing the gradient ensures that most of the molecules in high concentration zone will wind up in the previously low concentration by the spontaneous movement of small molecules.
