Fossil fuels are non-renewable resources and create greenhouse gases.  While cheaper now to  burn fossil fuels, within fifty years we will run out and have to turn to other sources of energy.  Hope this helps!!!

How does a change in thermal energy cause matter to change from one state to another?
Mnenie [13.5K]
Thermal energy gives the particles of the substance kinetic energy because temperature is an average measure of kinetic enegy of the particle. If we give them thermal energy the particle will move faster, gaining enough energy to escape and become free. For example, from solid to liquid, the particles would espace their fixed position and be free to move as a liquid.

Two blocks of masses 3.0 kg and 5.0 kg are connected by a spring and rest on a frictionless surface. They are given velocities t
miskamm [114]

Answer:

-0.7 m/sec

Explanation:

Mass of first block = m1 =3.0 kg

Mass of second block = m2= 5.0 kg

Velocity of first block = V1= 1.2 m/s

Velocity of second block = V2 = ?

Momentum of Center of mass MVcom  is sum of both blocks momentum and is given by

MVcom= m1v1+m2v2

Where

M= mass of center of mass

Vcom= Velocity of center of mass=0 m/s (because center of mass is at rest , so Vcom = 0 m.sec)

Putting values, we get;

0= 3×1.2+5v2

==> v2=  3.6/5= - 0.7 m/s

-ve sign indicates that block 2 is moving in opposite direction of block 1

The cabinet is mounted on coasters and has a mass of 45 kg. The casters are locked to prevent the tires from rotating. The coeff
stira [4]

Answer:

the force P required for impending motion is 132.3 N

the largest value of "h" allowed if the cabinet is not to tip over is 0.8 m

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of the cabinet  m = 45 kg

coefficient of static friction μ =  0.30

A free flow body diagram illustrating what the question represents is attached in the file below;

The given condition from the question let us realize that ; the casters are locked to prevent the tires from rotating.

Thus; considering the forces along the vertical axis ; we have :

\sum f_y =0

The upward force and the downward force is :

N_A+N_B = mg

where;

\mathbf { N_A  \ and  \ N_B} are the normal contact force at center point A and B respectively .

N_A+N_B = 45*9.8

N_A+N_B = 441    ------- equation (1)

Considering the forces on the horizontal axis:

\sum f_x = 0

F_A +F_B  = P

where ;

\mathbf{ F_A \ and \ F_B } are the static friction at center point A and B respectively.

which can be written also as:

\mu_s N_A + \mu_s N_B  = P

\mu_s( N_A +  N_B)  = P

replacing our value from equation (1)

P = 0.30 ( 441)    

P = 132.3 N

Thus; the force P required for impending motion is 132.3 N

b) Since the horizontal distance between the casters A and B is 480 mm; Then half the distance = 480 mm/2 = 240 mm = 0.24 cm

the largest value of "h" allowed for  the cabinet is not to tip over is calculated by determining the limiting condition  of the unbalanced torque whose effect is canceled by the normal reaction at N_A and it is shifted to N_B:  

Then:

\sum M _B = 0

P*h = mg*0.24

h =\frac{45*9.8*0.24}{132.3}

h = 0.8 m

Thus; the largest value of "h" allowed if the cabinet is not to tip over is 0.8 m

A 5 kg wooden block sitson a flat straight-away12 meters fromthe bottom of an infinitely long ramp, which has an angle of 20 deg
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

(a) 19.71801m/s Velocity just before going up the ramp.

(b) 74.56338m.

Explanation:

We will solve it in two parts, first we will calculate time that 5kg wooden block would take to just reach ramp and with this time we will calculate final velocity that the wooden block would have in this time.

Second, we will calculate the component of velocity vector along inclined plane and the time that it would take for velocity to be 0 meters/s then with this time we will calculate the distance that inclined plane would travel along inclined plane.

Following formulas will be used.

                                  x(t) = \frac{1}{2} t^2 = 12m =16.2m/s^2 t^2

                                 F =ma

                                 V(t) = V_{o} +at

                                 x(t) = x_{0} +v_{0}t+\frac{1}{2}a t^2

(a) Calculating velocity right before going up the ramp.

 Wooden block is going on a straightaway and has net for on it.

         F_{n} =F-F_{s} = F-uF_{n}  = 100N-0.4*9.8m/s^2*5kg =81N

     and this force produces acceleration of

      a = \frac{F}{m}=\frac{81}{5} =16.2m/s^2 .

With this acceleration, wooden block would reach at the foot of ramp in.

          x(t) = 12m = 16.2m/s^2*t^2

         t = 1.217s

and final velocity will be

v(t) = v_{0}+at = 0+16.2m/s^2*1.2171s = 19.7180m/s.

this velocity of wooden box just before going up the ramp.

(b) How far up the ramp will the wooden block go before stopping.

Ramp is at 20° relative to horizontal therefore velocity along the ramp that the wooden block would have will be.

                              V= V_{h}cos(20) = 18.5288m/s

and deceleration along the ramp is

                              a = \frac{F_{s} }{m}

 Where F_{s} force of friction along the inclined plane.

F_s =  uF_n = u*m*a

a = 9.8m/s^2*cos(20) = 9.2089m/s^2

is a component of g along normal of the inclined plane.

                               F_{s} = 0.25*5kg*9.2089m/s^2

                              = 11.5112N

                              a = \frac{11.5112N}{5kg} = 2.3022m/s^2

And with this deceleration time needed to get wooded block to stop is.

                     v(t) = v_o-at = 18.5288m/s-2.3022m/s^2*t = 0

                        t = \frac{18.5288m/s}{2.3022m/s^2} =8.04813s

 and in that time wooden block would travel

   x(8.04813s) = 18.52881m/s *8.04813s-\frac{1}{} 2.3022m/s^2*(8.0481)^2=74.56338m

This is how up wooden box will go before coming to stop.

Give reason for the following:
Zigmanuir [339]

a) An inflated balloon was pressed against a wall after it has been rubbed with a piece of synthetic cloth. It was found that the balloon sticks to the wall. <u>This is because a positive and negative electric charge is produced, therefore the balloon sticks to the wall.</u>

b) When an object is thrown up, it comes back to ground <u>because of gravitational attraction force of earth</u>.

c) Mountaineers suffer nose bleeding at higher altitudes <u>because the oxygen level decreases with increase in altitude, which the body cannot adjust.</u>

d) Foundations of high rise buildings are kept wide <u>because more is the area of contact, less is the pressure efforts. So, foundations are wide so as to decrease the possibility of the building from falling down.</u>

e) Deep sea divers or high altitude fliers wear special suits <u>so as prevent their body from being crushed by the water pressure. Since water pressure is maximum at deep seas and oceans, therefore, more is the risk of being injured.</u>

f) Walls of a dam are thickened near the base <u>so that the dam can handle the kinetic energy pressure and prevent itself from breaking down, which if not, can lead to flooding</u>.
