What is the difference between tangential acceleration and centripetal acceleration?

Physics
1 answer:
Nuetrik [128]3 years ago
4 0

Centripetal acceleration is directed along a radius so it may also be called the radial acceleration. If the speed is not constant, then there is also a tangential acceleration (at). The tangential acceleration is, indeed, tangent to the path of the particle's motion.

Suppose the ski patrol lowers a rescue sled carrying an injured skier, with a combined mass of 97.5 kg, down a 60.0-degree slope
Kitty [74]

a. 1337.3 J work, in joules, is done by friction as the sled moved 28 m along the hill.

b.21,835 J work, in joules, is done by the rope on the sled this distance.

c. 23,170 J   the work, in joules done by the gravitational force on the sled d. The net work done on the sled, in joules is 43,670 J.

       

<h3>What is friction work?</h3>

The work done by friction is the force of friction times the distance traveled times the cosine of the angle between the friction force and displacement

a. How much work is done by friction as the sled moves 28m along the hill?

ans. We use the formula:

friction work = -µ.mg.dcosθ

  = -0.100 * 97.5 kg * 9.8 m/s² * 28 m * cos 60

= -1337.3 J

-1337.3 J work, in joules, is done by friction as the sled moved 28 m along the hill.

b. How much work is done by the rope on the sled in this distance?

We use the formula:

Rope work = -m.g.d(sinθ - µcosθ)

rope work = - 97.5 kg * 9.8 m/s² * 28 m (sin 60 – 0.100 * cos 60)

                     = 26,754 (0.816)

                     = 21,835 J

21,835 J work, in joules, is done by the rope on the sled this distance.

c.  What is the work done by the gravitational force on the sled?

By using  the formula:

Gravity work = mgdsinθ

                    = 97.5 kg * 9.8 m/s² * 28 m * sin 60

                    = 23,170 J

23,170 J   the work, in joules done by the gravitational force on the sled .

       

D. What is the total work done?

By adding all the values

work done =  -1337.3 + 21,835 + 23,170

                 = 43,670 J

The net work done on the sled, in joules is 43,670 J.

A book falls of the table and hits the floor. Is work done? Why?​
morpeh [17]

<u>Yes, work is done when a book falls of the table.</u>

This is because:

When the book falls, it's potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.   As it reaches the floor down, this kinetic energy is converted to heat energy and sound energy due to the impact.

When a force is imposed on an object to cause displacement of that object, work is done on that object. For a force to do work on an object, there should be a displacement and this force should cause the displacement. So here, since the book falls from the table and causes the displacement of the book from the table to the floor. It is said that work is done.

Work can be given by the formula:

W = F • d

where F is the force and d is the displacement.

Explain why water, with its high specific heat capacity, is utilized for heating systems such as hot-water radiators.
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Answer in explanation

Explanation:

Water is mainly used as coolant in heating systems like hot-water radiators. The main function of water in such systems, is to absorb as much heat as possible, in order to decrease the temperature of the system and as a result cool it.

The specific heat capacity is the measure of heat energy that is required to raise the temperature of unit mass of a substance through 1 °C. In other words, specific heat capacity quantifies the amount of heat that can be stored by a unit mass of a substance having a degree rise in temperature.

Thus, the more specific heat a substance has, the more heat it can absorb from the hot system. Hence, the specific heat capacity of a coolant must be high.

<u>This is the reason why water, with its high specific heat capacity, is utilized for heating systems, such as radiators.</u>

1. The efficiency of a Carnot engine is e=1-Tc/TH, where Tc is a temperature of the cold reservoir and TH is a temperature of th
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Tc=0

Explanation:

The condition to have 100% efficiency is e=1-Tc/TH=1, so Tc/TH=0, As TH is different of zero we can conclude

Tc=0 Kelvins.
