Answer:
DU = 21 KJ
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Quantity of heat = 125 KJ
Work = 104 KJ
To find the change in internal energy;
Mathematically, the change in internal energy of a system is given by the formula;
DU = Q - W
Where;
DU is the change in internal energy.
Q is the quantity of energy.
W is the work done.
Substituting into the formula, we have;
DU = 125 - 104
DU = 21 KJ
Answer:
This is because the acceleration of objects due to gravity is independent of the mass of the object and is constant for all objects, therefore, all objects fall with the same speed.
Explanation:
The weight of an object or force of gravity acting on an object on the surface of earth is a product of its mass and acceleration due to gravity.
Mathematically, w = mg
where, m=mass of the object; g = acceleration due to gravity
Also, from newton's law of gravitation, gravitational force on the object ,F = GMm/r²
where G is the gravitational constant; M is mass of Earth; m is mass of object; r is the distance of separation between the object and the center of mass of the earth which is approximately the radius of earth.
Since the weight of an object is equal to the force of gravitation acting on it
W = F
mg = GMm/r²
g = GM/r²
The expression above is that of the relationship between the force of gravity acting on a body on the earth's surface, the weight of that body and the acceleration due to gravity, g.
It can be seen that the acceleration due to gravity g is independent of the mass of the object. Therefore, the acceleration of objects due to gravity is constant for all objects and all objects fall with the same speed.
Answer:
v = 15.65 m/s
Explanation:
We use conservation of mechanical energy between initial (i) and final (f) states:
Pi + KEi = Pf + KEf
At the top of the cave at the instant the bat starts to fall, there is only potential energy since the bat's velocity is zero.
Pi = m g h = 600 J
and the KEi = 0 J (no velocity)
Knowing the height of the cave's roof (12.8 m) , we can find the mass of the bat:
m = 600 J / (g 12.5) = 4.9 kg
Using conservation of mechanical energy, the final state is:
Pf + KEf = 600 J
with Pf = 0 (just touching the ground)
KEf= 1/2 4.9 (v^2)
and we solve for the velocity:
600 J = 0 + 1/2 4.9 (v^2)
v^2 = 600 * 2 / 4.9 = 244.9
v = 15.65 m/s
W=ΔKE , W=-5000j
KEinitial=(1/2)mv² , KEfinal=0j
ΔKE=-(1/2)mv²
-5000=-(1/2)(100kg)v²
v=10 m/s
Answer:
0.25 m.
Explanation:
We'll begin by calculating the spring constant of the spring.
From the diagram, we shall used any of the weight with the corresponding extention to determine the spring constant. This is illustrated below:
Force (F) = 0.1 N
Extention (e) = 0.125 m
Spring constant (K) =?
F = Ke
0.1 = K x 0.125
Divide both side by 0.125
K = 0.1/0.125
K = 0.8 N/m
Therefore, the force constant, K of spring is 0.8 N/m
Now, we can obtain the number in gap 1 in the diagram above as follow:
Force (F) = 0.2 N
Spring constant (K) = 0.8 N/m
Extention (e) =..?
F = Ke
0.2 = 0.8 x e
Divide both side by 0.8
e = 0.2/0.8
e = 0.25 m
Therefore, the number that will complete gap 1is 0.25 m.
