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

Physics

charle [14.2K]4 years ago

<span>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.</span>

How fast is a 90kg man running if his kinetic energy is 720 J?
zheka24 [161]
Answer:
4 m/s
Explanation:
KE=1/2mv^2
720=1/2(90)
720=45v^2
divide by 45
16= v^2
over the square root
4=v
v= 4m/s

A sailboat is heading directly north at a speed of 20 knots (1 knot 50.514 m/s). the wind is blowing toward the east with a spee
stellarik [79]
(a) The magnitude of the wind as it is measured on the boat will be the result of the two vectors. Since they are at 90°, the resultant can be determined by the Pythagorean theorem.
 
                   R = sqrt ((20 knots)² + (17 knots)²)
                    R = sqrt (400 + 289)
                      R = 26.24 knots

The direction of the wind will have to be angle between the boat and the resultant.
                   cos θ = (20 knots)/(26.24 knots)
                        θ = 40.36°

Hence, the direction is 40.36° east of north.

(b) As stated, the wind is blowing in the direction that is to the east. This means that it only has one direction. Parallel to the motion of the boat, the magnitude of the wind velocity will have to be zero.

The sun emits electromagnetic waves with a power of 4.0 × 10²⁶ W. Determine the intensity of electromagnetic waves from the sun
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

I_v = 2,700 W / m^2

I_m = 610 W / m^2

I_s = 16 W / m^2

Explanation:

Given:

- The Power of EM waves emitted by Sun P_s = 4.0*10^26 W

- Radius of Venus r_v = 1.08 * 10^11 m

- Radius of Mars r_m = 2.28 * 10^11 m

- Radius of Saturn r_s = 1.43 * 10^12 m

Find:

Determine the intensity of electromagnetic waves from the sun just outside the atmospheres of (a) Venus, (b) Mars, and (c) Saturn.

Solution:

- We know that Power is related to intensity and surface area of an object follows:

                                        I = P / 4*pi*r^2

Where, A is the surface area of a sphere models the atmosphere around the planets.

a)

- The intensity at the surface of Venus is calculated as:

                                       I_v = P_s / 4*pi*r^2_v

                                       I_v = 4.0*10^26 / 4*pi*(1.08*10^11)^2

                                       I_v = 2,700 W / m^2

b)

- The intensity at the surface of Mars is calculated as:

                                       I_m = P_s / 4*pi*r^2_m

                                       I_m = 4.0*10^26 / 4*pi*(2.28*10^11)^2

                                      I_m = 610 W / m^2

c)

- The intensity at the surface of Saturn is calculated as:

                                       I_s = P_s / 4*pi*r^2_s

                                       I_s = 4.0*10^26 / 4*pi*(1.43*10^12)^2

                                      I_s = 16 W / m^2

A car drives to the east in a time of 6 hours. Then, immediately (not realistic, but just assume this is the case for this probl
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Average speed of car in the first trip is 10 km/hr    

Explanation:

It is given that first the car drives 6 hours to the east

Then travels 12 km to west in 3 hours

Average speed for the entire trip = 8 km/hr

Total time = 3+6 = 9 hour

So distance traveled in 9 hour = 9×8 = 72 km

As the car travel 12 km in west so distance traveled in east = 72-12 = 60 km

Time by which car traveled in east = 6 hour

So speed =\frac{distance}{time}=\frac{60}{6}=10km/hr

So average speed of car in the first trip is 10 km/hr

In complete sentences, describe what causes the phases of the moon. (4 points)
g100num [7]
The light from the sun is reflected by the moon, we see the part of the moon that the sun shines on.The change in the phases are created from the rotation of the moon around earth.We see a full moon when the sun is opposite of the moon. The side the sun shines on the moon is what we see.
