Answer:

0.02585 BTU

Explanation:

Given: Spring constant, k = 270 lbf/in

Initial force, f =100 lbf

Compression, x = 1 in

Work done can be calculated as follows:

W = \int {(f+kx)} \, dx \\W = fx + \frac{1}{2}kx^2\\W= (100 lbf)(1 in)+ \frac{1}{2}(270 lbf/in)(1 in)^2\\W= 100+135 = 235 lbf in\\W=235 \times 0.00011 BTU = 0.02585 BTU

What is the change in internal energy if 60 J of heat is released from a system and 30 J of work is done on the system? Use U =
k0ka [10]

The change in internal energy of the system is +30 J

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the first law of thermodynamics, which states that the change in internal energy of a system is given by the equation:

\Delta U = Q -W

where

\Delta U is the change in internal energy

Q is the heat absorbed by the system (positive if it is absorbed, negative if it is released)

W is the work done by the system (positive if it is done by the system, negative if it is done by the surroundings on the system)

Therefore, in this problem, we have

Q=-60 J (heat released by the system)

W=-30 J (work done on the system)

Therefore, the change in internal energy is

\Delta U = -60 - (-30) = +30 J

Which of the following electrical components is a temporary electrical energy storage device?
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

A capacitor

Explanation:

Because it can store electric energy when disconnected from its charging circuit. Commonly used in electronic devices to maintain power supply while batteries change.

Hope this helps! :)

What is a fixed volume
nasty-shy [4]

A fixed volume is where either a solid or liquid has a volume that is constant under the same pressure and temperature. A gas cannot have a fixed volume because it changes by itself without any human interaction.

Best of Luck!

If you peel two strips of transparent tape off the same roll and immediately let them hang near each other, they will repel each
g100num [7]

Answer:

1.

Firstly removing off one strip and it leaves electrons behind, so the strip becomes positively charged.

2. The roll however is not negatively charged because it is "earthed " by the hand holding it, thus excess negatives repel each other away through the hand.

3.Tearing off the next strip and once more it leaves electrons behind, the new strip is also positively charged and will repel the first strip.

4. Then, tear two strips apart and one will leave electrons behind on the other. Meaning that one strip is positive and the other is negative and they will attract each other.
