Answer:
The well is 23.3 m
Explanation:
As the bucket is lifted out of the well, energy in the man is being transferred to the bucket as gravitational potential energy.
Work done against gravity = mass * height * acceleration due to to gravity
W = mgh
5 920 J = 25.9 kg * h * 9.8 m/s²
h = 23.3 m
Answer:
Mass is the quantity of matter contained in a body. The mass of an object is measured in kilogram (kg).
Explanation:
The forces (what causes the ball to accelerate) are gravity, friction, and the normal force. In this case, gravity is a downward force caused by the gigantic mass of the Earth and the mass of the ball. Keep in mind that a force is acceleration. Acceleration is a change in velocity. The ball speeds up. Than it stops speeding up at a certain point where the frictional force (along with air friction) equals the parallel component of gravity.
Newton's Second Law States- The greater mass of an object, the more force it will take to accelerate the object.
Answer:
691200 J
Explanation:
From specific heat capacity,
ΔQ = cmΔt.................. Equation 1
Where ΔQ = increase in thermal energy, c = specific heat capacity of the body, m = mass of the man, Δt = rise in temperature.
Given: c = 3.6 kJ/kg.°C = 3600 J/kg.°C, m = 96 kg, Δt = 39-37 = 2 °C.
Substitute into equation 1
ΔQ = 3600×96×2
ΔQ = 691200 J.
Hence the change in the thermal energy of the body = 691200 J
