We know that potential energy is simply energy due to position which has the formula:

PE = mass * gravity * height

We know that mass * gravity is weight, therefore:

PE = weight * height

27500 J = weight * 42 m

<span>weight = 654.76 Newtons</span>

An insulated thermos contains 106.0 cm3 of hot coffee at a temperature of 80.0 °C. You put in 11.0 g of ice cube at its melting
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

the final temperature is T f = 64.977 ° C≈ 65°C

Explanation:

Since the thermus is insulated, the heat absorbed by the ice is the heat released by the coffee. Thus:

Q coffee + Q ice = Q surroundings =0 (insulated)

We also know that the ice at its melting point , that is 0 °C ( assuming that the thermus is at atmospheric pressure= 1 atm , and has an insignificant amount of impurities ).

The heat released by coffee is sensible heat : Q = m * c * (T final - T initial)

The heat absorbed by ice is latent heat and sensible heat : Q = m * L + m * c * (T final - T initial)

therefore

m co * c co * (T fco - T ico) + m ice * L + m ice * c wat  * (T fwa - T iwa) = 0

assuming specific heat capacity of coffee is approximately the one of water c co = c wa = 4.186 J/g°C and the density of coffee is the same as water

d co = dw = 1 gr/cm³

therefore m co = d co * V co = 1 gr / cm³ * 106 cm³ = 106 gr

m co * c wat * (T f  - T ico) + m ice * L + m ice * c wat  * (T f - T iwa) = 0

m co * c wat * T f+ m ice * c wat  * T f  = m ice * c wat  * T iwa  + m co * c wat * Tico -m ice * L

T f  = (m ice * c wat  * T iwa  + m co * c wat * Tico -m ice * L ) /( m co * c wat * + m ice * c wat )

replacing values

T f = (11 g * 4.186 J/g°C * 0°C +  106 g * 4.186 J/g°C*80°C - 11 g * 334 J/gr) / ( 11 g * 4.186 J/g°C +  106 g * 4.186 J/g°C* ) = 64,977 ° C

T f = 64.977 ° C

A 35kg cannonball sits at rest on a flat level surface. What is the normal force exerted on the cannon ball. Use -9.8 m/s2 for a
Tom [10]

Answer:

a) N = 343 [N]

Explanation:

We must remember Newton's third law, which tells us that the force acting on a body is equal to the normal reaction force of equal magnitude but acting in the opposite direction.

N=m*g

where:

m = mass = 35 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

N = 35*9.8\\N= 343 [N]

If kinetic energy of a body is decreased by 10percent then decrease in linear momentum of that body​
algol [13]

Answer:

E = 1/2 M V^2 = 1/2 P V     since P = M V

E2 / E1 = P2 V2 / (P1 V1)

P2 / P1 = E2 V1 / (E1 V2) = V2^2 V1 / (V1^2 V2) = V2 / V1

E2 / E1 = V2^2 / V1^2

V2 / V1 = (E2 / E1)^1/2

V2 / V1 = (.9)1/2 = .95

The linear momentum would have to decrease by 5%

A straight segment of wire 35.0 cm long carrying a current of 2.60 A is in a uniform magnetic field. The segment makes an angle
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Magnetic field, B = 0.275 T

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the wire, L = 35 cm = 0.35 m

Current carried in the wire, I = 2.6 A

The segment makes an angle of 53∘ with the direction of the magnetic field, \theta=53^{\circ}

Magnetic force, F = 0.2 N

To find,

The magnitude of the magnetic field.

Solution,

The magnetic force acting on the wire is given by :

F=ILBsin\theta

\theta is the angle between the length of wire and the magnetic field.

0.2=2.6\times 0.35\times B\times sin(53)

B = 0.275 T

Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic field is 0.275 T. Hence, this is the required solution.
