Answer:

(a) 5142.86 m

(b) 317.5 m/s

Explanation:

m = 100 kg, Q = 1200 kcal = 1200 x 1000 x 4.2 = 504 x 10^4 J

(a) Let the altitude be h

Q = m x g x h

504 x 10^4 = 100 x 9.8 x h

h = 5142.86 m

(b) Let v be the speed

Q = 1/2 m v^2

504 x 10^4 = 1/2 x 100 x v^2

v = 317.5 m/s

Let the final temperature is T2.

Q = m x c x (T2 - T1)

504 x 10^4 = 100 x 4.1 x 1000 x (T2 - 37)

T2 = 49.3 degree C

An electric motor consumes 8.40 kJ of electrical energy in 1.00 min. Part A If one-third of this energy goes into heat and other

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

The torque is 0.31 Nm.

Explanation:

Electrical energy, E = 8400 J

time, t = 1 min

Angular speed, w = 2900 rpm = 303.53 rad/s

efficiency = 2/3 of input power

The toque is given by

$P =\tau w\\\\\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{E}{t}=\tau w\\\\\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{8400}{60}=\tau \times 303.53\\\\\tau =0.31 Nm$

If it has enough kinetic energy, a molecule at the surface of the Earth can "escape the Earth's gravitation", in the sense that

user100 [1]

Answer:

$K_E=mgr_E$

Explanation:

By conservation of energy, the sum of the kinetic and gravitational potential energies at the surface of the Earth must be equal than their sum at infinity, so we have:

$K_E+U_E=K_\infty+U_\infty$

$\frac{mv_E^2}{2}-\frac{GM_Em}{r_E}=\frac{mv_\infty^2}{2}-\frac{GM_Em}{r_\infty}$

Where $G=6.67\times10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2$ is the gravitational constant, $M_E=5.97\times10^{24}kg$ and $r_E=6371000m$ are the mass and radius of the Earth, <em>m </em>is the mass of the particle, $v_E$ its velocity at the surface of the Earth (which would be its escape velocity) and $v_\infty$ and $r_\infty$ are the velocities and distance at infinity, which would be null and infinity respectively, so the right hand side of our equation is 0J, which leaves us with:

$\frac{GM_Em}{r_E}=\frac{mv_E^2}{2}=K_E$

Also, since the force the molecule experiments is the force of gravity (disregarding drag), we can write its weight in terms of Newton's Law of Gravitation:

$F=mg=\frac{GM_Em}{r_E^2}$

Which means that:

$\frac{GM_Em}{r_E}=mgr_E$

So finally putting all together we can write:

$K_E=\frac{GM_Em}{r_E}=mgr_E$

During a basketball game what are the most points you can score from shooting and getting fouled

Illusion [34]

Answer:

If a player is fouled while shooting a three-point shot and makes it anyway, he is awarded one free throw. Thus, he could score four points on the play. Inbounds- If fouled while not shooting, the ball is given to the team the foul was committed upon.
