after a large snowstorm you shovel 2000 kilograms of snow off your side walk in 1 hour. you lift the shovel to an average height

of 1.25 meters while you are piling the snow in your yard. how much work did you do?

Lifting a mass to a height, you give it gravitational potential energy of

       (mass) x (gravity) x (height)  joules.

To give it that much energy, that's how much work you do on it.

If 2,000 kg gets lifted to 1.25 meters off the ground, its potential energy is

         (2,000) x (9.8) x (1.25) = 24,500 joules.

If you do it in 1 hour (3,600 seconds), then the average power is

           (24,500 joules) / (3,600 seconds) = 6.8 watts.

None of these figures depends on whether the load gets lifted all at once,
or one shovel at a time, or one flake at a time.

But this certainly is NOT all the work you do.  When you get a shovelful
of snow 1.25 meters off the ground, you don't drop it and walk away, and
it doesn't just float there. You typically toss it, away from where it was laying
and over onto a pile in a place where you don't care if there's a pile of snow
there. In order to toss it, you give it some kinetic energy, so that it'll continue
to sail over to the pile when it leaves the shovel.  All of that kinetic energy
must also come from work that you do ... nobody else is going to take it
from you and toss it onto the pile.

On Venus, the acceleration due to gravity is 8.87 m / s 2 . How far would a 17 g rock fall from rest in 6.5 s if the only force
algol [13]

Answer:

187.38 m

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion

s = ut + 1/2gt²...................... Equation 1

Where s = distance of fall, u = initial velocity of the rock, t = time taken for the rock to fall from rest, g = acceleration due to gravity of venus.

Given: u = 0 m/s ( from rest), t = 6.5 s, g = 8.87 m/s².

substituting into equation 1

s = 0(6.5) + 1/2(8.87)(6.5)²

s = 0 + 374.7575/2

s = 187.38 m.

Hence the rock will fall 187.38 m

According to the law of conservation of energy, mechanical energy can be changed to heat energy.
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

The answer to this question is given below in this explanation section.

Explanation:

                     " law of conservation of energy"

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed only converted from one form of energy into another.This mean that a system always has a same account of a energy,unless it is added from the outside.This is particularly confusing in the case of non conversation forces,where energy is converted from ,mechanical energy into thermal energy.but the overall energy does remain the same.The only way to use energy is to transform energy from one form to another.

The amount of energy in any system than it is determined by the following equation.

Ut=Ui +W+Q

  • Ut is the total internal energy of a system.
  • Ui is the initial internal energy of a system.
  • W is the work done by or on the system.
  • Q is the heat added to or removed by the system.

It is also possible to determined the change in internal energy of the system using the equation.

ΔU=W+Q

The mechanical energy of a system increases provided their is no loss of energy due to friction.The energy would transform to kinetic energy when the speed is increasing.Te mechanical energy of a system remain constant provided their is no loss of energy due to friction.

The law of conversation of energy which say that in a closed system total energy is conserved that is it constant.

KE1 + PE1=KE2+PE2

There would be more - charges on the peanuts because they gain electrons which are represented with the - sign. There would also be more + on the cat to show that the cat’s fur is positively charged. The peanuts would be attracted to the cat because opposite charges attract.

As for explaining the first model, there should be the same amount of + and - charges on the peanuts as well as the cat to show that it is balanced and the peanuts are not attracted or repelled by the cat.

Capacitors, C1 = 1.0 F and C2 = 1.0 F, are connected in parallel to a 6.0 volt battery (ΔV = 6.0V). If the battery is disconnect
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

66.2 sec

Explanation:

C₁ = 1.0 F

C₂ = 1.0 F

ΔV = Potential difference across the capacitor = 6.0 V

C = parallel combination of capacitors

Parallel combination of capacitors is given as

C = C₁ + C₂

C = 1.0 + 1.0

C = 2.0 F

R = resistance = 33 Ω

Time constant is given as

T = RC

T = 33 x 2

T = 66 sec

V₀ = initial potential difference across the combination = 6.0 Volts

V = final potential difference = 2.2 volts

Using the equation

V = V_{o} e^{\frac{-t}{T}}

2.2 = 6 e^{\frac{-t}{66}}

t = 66.2 sec
