Jill can use a force of 12.0 N to lift a single box up 5.00 m. How many of these boxes must she lift it in a minute to use 60.0
Mama L [17]

Answer:

60 boxes

Explanation:

The work done by lifting a single box is equal to the force applied (the weight of the box) times the displacement of the box:

W_1 = Fd=(12.0 N)(5.00 m)=60 J

Power is related to the work done by the equation:

P=\frac{W}{t}

where W is the work done and t is the time. In this problem, we are told that the power used is P=60.0 W, while the time taken is t = 1 min = 60 s, so the total work done must be

W=Pt=(60.0 W)(60 s)=3600 J

Therefore, the number of boxes that she has to lift in order to use this power is the total work divided by the work done in lifting each box:

N=\frac{W}{W_1}=\frac{3,600 J}{60 J}=60

Gasoline burns inside a car’s engine. how does this fuel enable a car to move?
Svetllana [295]
<span> The purpose of a gasoline car engine is to convert gasoline into motion so that your car can move. Currently the easiest way to create motion from gasoline is to burn the gasoline inside an engine.
Therefore, a car engine is an internal combustion engine -- combustion takes place internally.
There is such a thing as an external combustion engine. A steam engine in old-fashioned trains and steam boats is the best example of an external combustion engine. The fuel (coal, wood, oil, whatever) in a steam engine burns outside the engine to create steam, and the steam creates motion inside the engine. Internal combustion is a lot more efficient (takes less fuel per mile) than external combustion, plus an internal combustion engine is a lot smaller than an equivalent external combustion engine. This explains why we don't see any cars using steam engines.

To understand the basic idea behind how a reciprocating internal combustion engine works, it is helpful to have a good mental image of how "internal combustion" works.

One good example is an old Revolutionary War cannon. You have probably seen these in movies, where the soldiers load the cannon with gun powder and a cannon ball and light it. That is internal combustion, but it is hard to imagine that having anything to do with engines.

A potato cannon uses the basic principle behind any reciprocating internal combustion engine: If you put a tiny amount of high-energy fuel (like gasoline) in a small, enclosed space and ignite it, an incredible amount of energy is released in the form of expanding gas. You can use that energy to propel a potato 500 feet. In this case, the energy is translated into potato motion. You can also use it for more interesting purposes. For example, if you can create a cycle that allows you to set off explosions like this hundreds of times per minute, and if you can harness that energy in a useful way, what you have is the core of a car engine! </span>
