How much thermal energy is created in the slope and the tube during the ascent of a 30-m-high, 120-m-long slope?

1 answer:

7 0

The change in internal energy is only gravitional PE because the tube is being drug up at a constant speed. Since it is at a constant speed, the change in KE is 0. Change in PE = m*g*h = 78 kg * 10 m/s^2 * 30 m = 23400 J Work done on the system is from the force Work = force * distance = 350 N * 120 m = 42000 J So, work added 42000 J to the system, but the rider's energy only increased 23400 J. Therefore, friction took up the difference. Friction is where the thermal energy comes from Q = 42000 J - 23400 J = 18600 J. Therfore, friction generated 18600 J of heat to the surroundings.

Answer:

B. A repulsive force of 8.0*10^3 N.

Explanation:

As we know by Coulomb's law that the electrostatic force between two charges is given as

$F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

here we know that

$q_1 = -2 \times 10^2 C$

$q_2 = -4 \times 10^{-8} C$

r = 3.0 m

now we have

$F = \frac{(9 \times 10^9)(2 \times 10^2)(4\times 10^{-8})}{3^2}$

$F = 8000 N$

since both charges are similar charges so they will repel each other by the force we calculated above so correct answer will be

B. A repulsive force of 8.0*10^3 N.

In your own words, explain why sinkholes are very common in Florida. List one use of sinkholes in Florida.

melamori03 [73]

Florida's peninsula is made up of porous carbonate rocks such as limestone When the dirt, clay or sand gets too heavy for the limestone roof, it can break and form a sinkhole. Sinkholes are caused naturally.
