A weight is hung from the ceiling of an elevator by a massless string. Under which circumstances will the tension in the cord be

the least?

When the elevator is going up (assuming the elevator is acceleration)

When the elevator is accelerating downwards, the total gravitational force would be larger.

If the elevator is accelerating upwards, then the gravitation force would be smaller, thus the tension in the string would be smaller.

The "steam" above a freshly made cup of instant coffee is really water vapor droplets condensing after evaporating from the hot
KiRa [710]

Answer:

T_{f} = 85.7 ° C

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use the calorimetry heat ratios, let's start with the heat lost by the evaporation of coffee, since it changes from liquid to vapor state

      Q₁ = m L

Where m is the evaporated mass (m = 2.00 103-3kg) and L is 2.26 106 J / kg, where we use the latent heat of the water

     Q₁ = 2.00 10⁻³ 2.26 10⁶

     Q1 = 4.52 10³ J

Now the heat of coffee in the cup, which does not change state is

     Q coffee = M c_{e} ( T_{f} -T_{i})

Since the only form of energy transfer is terminated, the heat transferred is equal to the evaporated heat

    Qc = - Q₁

    M ce (T_{f} -T_{i}) = - Q₁

The coffee dough left in the cup after evaporation is

    M = 250 -2 = 248 g = 0.248 kg

   T_{f} -Ti = -Q1 / M c_{e}

   T_{f} = Ti - Q1 / M c_{e}

Since coffee is essentially water, let's use the specific heat of water,

    c_{e}= 4186 J / kg ºC

Let's calculate

     T_{f} = 90.0 - 4.52 103 / (0.248 4.186 103)

     T_{f} = 90- 4.35

     T_{f} = 85.65 ° C

     T_{f} = 85.7 ° C

Under the influence of its drive force, a snowmobile is moving at a constant velocity along a horizontal patch of snow. When the
balandron [24]

Answer:

a) Δx = 11.6 m

b) t = 3.9 s

Explanation:

a)

  • Since the snowmobile is moving at constant speed, and the drive force is 195 N, this means that thereis another force equal and opposite acting on it, according to Newton's 2nd Law, due to there is no acceleration present in the horizontal direction .
  • This force is just the force of kinetic friction, and is equal to -195 N (assuming the positive direction as the direction of the movement).
  • Once the drive force is shut off, the only force acting on the snowmobile remains the friction force.
  • According Newton's 2nd Law, this force is causing a negative acceleration (actually slowing down the snowmobile) that can be found as follows:

       a = \frac{F_{fr} }{m} = \frac{-195N}{128kg} = -1.5 m/s2 (1)

  • Assuming the friction force keeps constant, we can use the following kinematic equation in order to find the distance traveled under this acceleration before coming to an stop, as follows:

       v_{f} ^{2}  -v_{o} ^{2} = 2* a* \Delta x (2)

  • Taking into account that vf=0, replacing by the given (v₀) and a from (1), we can solve for Δx, as follows:

       \Delta x =- \frac{v_{o}^{2}}{2*a} =- \frac{(5.90m/s)^{2}}{2*(-1.5m/s2)} = 11.6 m (3)

b)

  • We can find the time needed to come to an stop, applying the definition of acceleration, as follows:

       v_{f} = v_{o} + a*\Delta t (4)

  • Since we have already said that the snowmobile comes to an stop, this means that vf = 0.
  • Replacing a and v₀ as we did in (3), we can solve for Δt as follows:

       \Delta t = \frac{-v_{o} }{a} = \frac{-5.9m/s}{-1.5m/s2} = 3.9 s   (5)

How does a substance's temperatura chanté when the average kinetic energy of its particles increases? When it decreases?
Aleks [24]
Kinetic energy means movement. This means that the more something moves, the more kinetic energy it will have! And the faster something moves, the more heat it produces! Altogether, this means that the more Kinetic energy something has, the hotter it will be!

The opposite is also true. The less something moves, it will have less Kinetic energy and the colder it will get. 

If you're having trouble understanding this, think of it like how the particles in water move compared to how the particles in ice move. The particles in water are free flowing and can move wherever they want. If they get colder, they won't move as much, and eventually they'll stop flowing around, forming a solid and staying colder than the water will get.
