The potential energy of the car at the top of the ramp is greater than the kinetic energy of the car at the bottom of the ramp

Explanation:

Here we have a car moving down along a ramp. In absence of force of friction, the total mechanical energy of the car while moving down would be conserved:

E=PE+KE = const.

where

PE is the potential energy

KE is the kinetic energy

However, this is not true if friction acts on the car. When the car is still at the top of the ramp, its speed is zero, so its kinetic energy is zero, and all the energy is just potential energy:

E=PE

While the car moves down along the ramp, friction does work on it, and part of the total mechanical energy is wasted and converted into thermal energy. As a result, the car reaches the bottom of the ramp with a final energy which is less than the initial energy:

E'

Also, at the bottom of the ramp, all the energy is just kinetic energy, since the height of the car is now zero, so

E'=KE

It follows that

KE

So, the potential energy of the car at the top of the ramp is greater than the kinetic energy of the car at the bottom of the ramp.

A sample of oxygen gas at 25.0°c has its pressure tripled while its volume is halved. What is the final temperature of the gas?
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

447 K

Explanation:

25 C = 25 + 273 = 298 K

Assuming ideal gas, we can apply the ideal gas law

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

T_2 = T_1\frac{P_2}{P_1}\frac{V_2}{V_1}

Since pressure is tripled, then P_2 / P_1 = 3. Volume is halved, then V_2 / V_1 = 0.5

T_2 = 298*3*0.5 = 447 K

Based on Newton's law of motion, which combination of rocket bodies and engine will result in the acceleration of 40 m/s ^2 at t
ad-work [718]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

The Rocket Club is planning to launch a pair of model rockets. To build the rocket, the club needs a rocket body paired with an engine. The table lists the mass of three possible rocket bodies and the force generated by three possible engines.

A 4-column table with 3 rows. The first column labeled Body has entries 1, 2, 3. The second column labeled Mass (grams) has entries 500, 1500, 750. The third column labeled Engine has entries 1, 2, 3. The fourth column labeled Force (Newtons) has entries 25, 20, 30.

Based on Newton’s laws of motion, which combination of rocket bodies and engines will result in the acceleration of 40 m/s2 at the start of the launch?

Body 3 + Engine 1

Body 2 + Engine 2

Body 1 + Engine 2

Body 1 + Engine 1

Solution :

Given :

Body       Mass (gram)     Engine      Force (newtons)

1                   500                 1                     25

2                  1500                2                    20

3                  750                  3                    30

The body 1 has a mass of 500 gram which is equal to 0.5 kg

And engine 2 has a force of 20 newtons.

We know that according to Newton's laws of motion,

Force = mass x acceleration

 20    = 0.5 x acceleration

Acceleration $=\frac{20}{0.5}$

                      $=\frac{200}{5}$

                      $= 40 \ m/s^2$

Therefore, based on laws of motion of Newton, the Body 1 + Engine 2 combination of the rocket bodies and engines will result in an acceleration of $ 40 \ m/s^2$ at the start of the launch.
