What equation gives the position at a specific time for an object with constant acceleration?

1 answer:

4 0

Given constant acceleration, we can get the final position of an object in terms of both its initial velocity and its acceleration using one of the equations of motion.

The equation that we will use is:
Xf = Xi + Vi*t + (1/2)*a*t^2
where:
Xf is the final position of the object
Xi is the initial position of the object
Vi is the initial velocity of the object
t is the time
a is the constant given acceleration

An engine draws energy from a hot reservoir with a temperature of 1250 K and exhausts energy into a cold reservoir with a temper

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The power output of this engine is $P = 17.5 W$

The the maximum (Carnot) efficiency is $\eta_c = 0.7424$

The actual efficiency of this engine is $\eta _a = 0.46$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The temperature of the hot reservoir is $T_h = 1250 \ K$

The temperature of the cold reservoir is $T_c = 322 \ K$

The energy absorbed from the hot reservoir is $E_h = 1.37 *10^{5} \ J$

The energy exhausts into cold reservoir is $E_c = 7.4 *10^{4} J$

The power output is mathematically represented as

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

Where t is the time taken which we will assume to be 1 hour = 3600 s

W is the workdone which is mathematically represented as

$W = E_h -E_c$

substituting values

$W = 63000 J$

$P = \frac{63000}{3600}$

$P = 17.5 W$

The Carnot efficiency is mathematically represented as

$\eta_c = 1 - \frac{T_c}{T_h}$

$\eta_c = 1 - \frac{322}{1250}$

$\eta_c = 0.7424$

The actual efficiency is mathematically represented as

$\eta _a = \frac{W}{E_h}$

substituting values

$\eta _a = \frac{63000}{1.37*10^{5}}$

$\eta _a = 0.46$

In moving out of a dormitory at the end of the semester, a student does 1.20 x 104 J of work. In the process, his internal energ

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

(a) W=1.20×10⁴J

(b) U= -5.46×10⁴J

Explanation:

Given that student does 1.20×10⁴J work

(a) W=1.20×10⁴J

Work done by student,so positive sign

During the process, his internal energy decreases by 5.46×10⁴J.

(b) U= -5.46×10⁴J.

As the Energy decreases therefore negative sign

For (c) Q

We know the formula

$Q=W+U\\Q=1.2*10^{4}+(-5.46*10^{4} )\\ Q=-4.26*10^{4}J$

Wavelength of blue photons 495 nm, what is the frequency? and what is the energy?

inessss [21]

Answer:

1.F: About 6*10^14 Hz

2.E: About 4*10^ -19 J

Explanation:

Frequency: We knew that the speed of a wave is its wavelength(λ)* frequency(f, in Hz). By the wave-particle duality we know we can calculate the frequency of light in the same way. So, c=495nm *f, f=c/495nm=> (299,792,458 m/s) / (4.95*10^-7 m)

=6.05*10^14 /s

Energy: The energy photon contains can be calculate by this formula-- E=hf

f is the frequency and h is Planck's constant which is about 6.62 ×10^-34 *m^2*kg/s (after dimensional analysis ) =6.62*10^ -34 J*s.

So, the energy of a blue photon is (6.05*10^14)*(6.62*10^-34)=40.051*10^-20= 4.051*10^-19 J
