Which compares the thermal energy found in a piece of coal with the thermal energy found in a newly opened coal mine?

Physics

9966 [12]3 years ago
4 0

<span>The thermal energy found in a piece of coal is lesser than in the thermal energy in a newly opened coal mine. The newly opened coal mine requires a greater thermal energy to really open it due to its solid structure. Whereas in a piece of coal, it only requires a lesser amount of thermal energy to extract it.</span>

Travka [436]

Answer:

C. Overcome Friction

Explanation:

When using any machine usually those with moving parts, you may notice heat forming near the areas where most movement occurs. As friction continues, more energy is used up and released as heat. For that reason, the efficiency of a machine will forever be less than 100%

Describe at least four of the requirements (facts) that any model of solar system formation must include (according to the nebul
kvasek [131]
The nebular theory describes the formation of the solar system and states that the system began as a gigantic cloud of gas and dust called a nebula which eventually condensed to form the sun, planets and other objects in the solar system. The first fact speaks to the formation of the planets, where gravity pulled larger clumps of material closer to form solid rocky planets closer to the sun and gas giants further out. The second requirement is that a nearby explosion or super nova would have to disturb our nebula to trigger rotation and the eventual formation of the sun. The third requirement/fact is that the planets go around the sun in the same direction. the last fact is that the planets go around the sun within 6 degrees of a common plane. This indicates that the solar system formed from a spinning disk of materials.

Air (14.5 lb) undergoes a polytropic process in a closed system from p1 = 80 lbf/in2, υ1 = 4 ft3/lb to a final state where p2 =
Yanka [14]
The energy transfer in terms of work has the equation:

W = mΔ(PV)

To be consistent with units, let's convert them first as follows:

P₁ = 80 lbf/in² * (1 ft/12 in)² = 5/9 lbf/ft²
P₂ = 20 lbf/in² * (1 ft/12 in)² = 5/36 lbf/ft²
V₁ = 4 ft³/lbm
V₂ = 11 ft³/lbm

W = m(P₂V₂ - P₁V₁)
W = (14.5 lbm)[(5/36 lbf/ft²)(4 ft³/lbm) - (5/9 lbf/ft²)(11 lbm/ft³)]
W = -80.556 ft·lbf

In 1 Btu, there is 779 ft·lbf. Thus, work in Btu is:
W = -80.556 ft·lbf(1 Btu/779 ft·lbf)
<em>W = -0.1034 BTU</em>

A 4.00-g bullet, traveling horizontally with a velocity of magnitude 400 m/s, is fired into a wooden block with mass 0.650 kg ,
Maru [420]

Answer:

a) Coefficient of kinetic friction between block and surface = 0.12

b) Decrease in kinetic energy of the bullet = 247.8 J

c) Kinetic energy of the block at the instant after the bullet passes through it = 0.541 J

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of bullet = 4.00 g = 0.004 kg

Initial velocity of the bullet = 400 m/s

Mass of wooden block = 0.65 kg

Initial velocity of the wooden block = 0 m/s (since it was initially at rest)

Final velocity of the bullet = 190 m/s

Distance slid through by the block after the collision = d = 72.0 cm = 0.72 m

Let the velocity of the wooden block after collision be v

According to the law of conservation of momentum,

Momentum before collision = Momentum after collision

Momentum before collision = (Momentum of bullet before collision) + (Momentum of wooden block before collision)

Momentum of bullet before collision = (0.004×400) = 1.6 kgm/s

Momentum of wooden block before collision = (0.65)(0) = 0 kgm/s

Momentum after collision = (Momentum of bullet after collision) + (Momentum of wooden block after collision)

Momentum of bullet after collision = (0.004×190) = 0.76 kgm/s

Momentum of wooden block after collision = (0.65)(v) = (0.65v) kgm/s

Momentum balance gives

1.6 + 0 = 0.76 + 0.65v

0.65v = 1.6 - 0.76 = 0.84

v = (0.84/0.65)

v = 1.29 m/s

The velocity of the wooden block after collision = 1.29 m/s

To obtain the coefficient of kinetic friction between block and surface, we will apply the work-energy theorem.

The work-energy theorem states that the work done in moving the block from one point to another is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the block between these two points.

The points to consider are the point when the block starts moving (immediately after collision) and when it stops as a result of frictional force.

Mathematically,

W = ΔK.E

W = workdone by the frictional force in stopping the wooden block (since there is no other horizontal force acting on the block)

W = -F.d (minus sign because the frictional force opposes motion)

d = Distance slid through by the block after the collision = 0.72 m

F = Frictional force = μN

where N = normal reaction of the surface on the wooden block and it is equal to the weight of the block.

N = W = mg

F = μmg

W = - μmg × d = (-μ)(0.65)(9.8) × 0.72 = (-4.59μ) J

ΔK.E = (final kinetic energy of the block) - (initial kinetic energy of the block)

Final kinetic energy of the block = 0 J (since the block comes to a rest)

(Initial kinetic energy of the block) = (1/2)(0.65)(1.29²) = 0.541 J

ΔK.E = 0 - 0.541 = - 0.541 J

W = ΔK.E

-4.59μ = -0.541

μ = (0.541/4.59)

μ = 0.12

b) The decrease in kinetic energy of the bullet

(Decrease in kinetic energy of the bullet) = (Kinetic energy of the bullet before collision) - (Kinetic energy of the bullet after collision)

Kinetic energy of the bullet before collision = (1/2)(0.004)(400²) = 320 J

Kinetic energy of the bullet after collision = (1/2)(0.004)(190²) = 72.2 J

Decrease in kinetic energy of the bullet = 320 - 72.2 = 247.8 J

c) Kinetic energy of the block at the instant after the bullet passes through it = (1/2)(0.65)(1.29²) = 0.541 J

Hope this Helps!!!
