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

In world war 1 , Multiple reflection was used in submarines. How multiple reflection works and helps in such situation?
prisoha [69]

<u>Answer:</u>

Submarines use a device called Periscope that uses the concept of multiple reflections and help us see objects above the water surface.

<u>Explanation:</u>

When a light ray falls on a reflecting surface like a mirror, it gets reflected.  In multiple reflections, the incident light ray is made to reflect multiple times by arranging the reflecting surfaces in different ways.

In submarines, we use Periscope, which is a long tube like structure. The long tube is bent at ends. It uses two simple mirrors which are placed parallel to each other at an angle of 45 degrees. The light from one mirror gets reflected to the other mirror, thus causing a multiple reflection.

A man pushes an 250-N crate at constant speed a distance of 30.0 m upward along a rough slope that makes an angle of 60° with th
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

6495.19 Joule

Explanation:

F = Weight of the crate = 250 N

d = Distance the cart is pushed = 30 m

θ = Angle of inclination = 60°

The weight of the crate will be resloved into two components

Fdsinθ and Fdcosθ

Work done by the force of gravity is

W = Fdsinθ

⇒W = 250×30×sin60

⇒W = 6495.19 Joule

∴ The work done by the force of gravity is 6495.19 Joule

Answer:

1.97×10⁻²¹ J

Explanation:

Use ideal gas law to find temperature.

PV = nRT

(9 atm) (9 L) = (83.3 mol) (0.0821 L·atm/mol/K) T

T = 11.9 K

The average kinetic energy per atom is:

KE = 3/2 kT

KE = 3/2 (1.38×10⁻²³ J/K) (11.9 K)

KE = 2.46×10⁻²² J

For a mass of 5.34×10⁻²⁶ kg, the kinetic energy is:

KE = (5.34×10⁻²⁶ kg) (1 mol / 0.004 kg) (6.02×10²³ atom/mol) (2.46×10⁻²² J)

KE = 1.97×10⁻²¹ J
