A system gains 757 kJ757 kJ of heat, resulting in a change in internal energy of the system equal to +176 kJ.+176 kJ. How much w

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

581 kJ, work was done by the system

Explanation:

According to the first law of thermodynamics:

$\Delta U = Q-W$

where

$\Delta U$ is the change in internal energy of the system

Q is the heat absorbed by the system (positive if absorbed, negative if released)

W is the work done by the system (positive if done by the system, negative if done by the surrounding)

In this problem,

$Q=+757 kJ$

$\Delta U = +176 kJ$

Therefore the work done by the system is

$W=Q-\Delta U=757 kJ-176 kJ=+581 kJ$

And the positive sign means the work is done BY the system.

An elevator (mass 4100 kg) is to be designed so that the maximum acceleration is 0.0400g. what is the maximum force the motor sh

melomori [17]

Answer:

The maximum force on the supporting cable is 80688 N.

The minimum force on the supporting cable is -164 N.

Explanation:

For maximum force movement of elevator is in upward direction. Thus, equation of motion is given by,

ma = T - mg

where m is the mass of elevator

a is acceleration of elevator

g is acceleration due to gravity

T is the maximum tension in the supporting cable

T = ma + mg

T = m (a + g)

T = 4100 ( 0.04g + 9.8)

T = 80688 N

This is the maximum force on the supporting cable.

For minimum force movement of elevator is in downward direction. Thus, equation of motion is given by,

ma = T - mg

where m is the mass of elevator

a= -0.04g is acceleration of elevator because elevator is moving downward

g is acceleration due to gravity

T is the minimum tension in the supporting cable

T = ma + mg

T = m (a + g)

T = 4100 ( 9.8 - 0.04g)

T = -164 N

This is the minimum force on the supporting cable.

Which one of the following statements concerning the momentum of a system when the net force acting on the system is equal to ze

Alex

Answer:

D

Explanation:

According to newton's 2nd law rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the force applied on the body. Since, net Force is zero this means momentum did not change or momentum of the body remained constant.

Hence, the system have constant value of momentum. Therefore, option D is correct.
