The fact that no heat is transferred between a system and its surroundings refers to an adiabatic free expansion.

In gas, the adiabatic compression creates an increase in the temperature while it causes a drop in temperature there is adiabatic expansion against pressure, or a spring.

Before being allowed to expand in vacuum, the gas is first contained in an insulated container.

The work made by or on the system is zero since there is no external pressure for the gas to enlarge on against. The first law of thermodynamics then insinuates that zero is the net internal energy change of the system since the process does not incorporate any work or heat transfer.

Answer:

V=15.3 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we have to use the energy conservation theorem:

$U_e+K_i+U_{gi}+W_{friction}=K_f+U_{gf}$

the elastic potencial energy is given by:

$U_e=\frac{1}{2}*k*x^2\\U_e=\frac{1}{2}*1100N/m*(4m)^2\\U_e=8800J$

The work is defined as:

$W_{friction}=F_f*d*cos(\theta)\\W_{friction}=40N*2.5m*cos(180)\\W_{friction}=-100J$

this work is negative because is opposite to the movement.

The gravitational potencial energy at 2.5 m aboves is given by:

$U_{gf}=m*g*h\\U_{gf}=60kg*9.8*2.5\\U_{gf}=1470J$

the gravitational potential energy at the ground and the kinetic energy at the begining are 0.

$8800J+0+0+-100J=\frac{1}{2}*62kg*v^2+1470J\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2(8800J-100J-1470J)}{62kg}}\\v=15.3m/s$

the winner of a 10km road race took half an hour to complete the race. Calculate the average speed. Give your answer in metres p

leonid [27]

Hello there!

For this:

1). Convert 10km to meters!
2). Convert the 30 minutes into seconds!

3). Use the following formula to solve for speed!

speed= distance/time

Note: The units should automatically work out to m/s. :)

My goal is to make sure you understand the problem, which is why I won't be giving you the answer. It'll be more work now, but less work in the future! :)

Hope this helped!
