A block sliding across a level surface has a mass of 2.5 kg and a mechanical energy of 20 joules. What is its velocity?

Hi!

The energy of the block is 4 m/s

To calculate this, you need to use the equation for kinetic energy. The block is sliding (i.e. it's moving). If the object is sliding across a level surface, the only energy it has is kinetic energy, because there is no change in potential energy (which changes with height). So, the mechanical energy will be pure kinetic energy. The equation is the following, derived from the expression for kinetic energy:

v= \sqrt{ \frac{2*Ke}{m}}=\sqrt{ \frac{2*20 (kg*m^{2}*s^{-2}) }{2,5kg}}=4 m/s

Have a nice day!

A 6.5 l sample of nitrogen at 25◦c and 1.5 atm is allowed to expand to 13.0 l. the temperature remains constant. what is the fin
ollegr [7]
Since the temperature of the gas remains constant in the process, we can use Boyle's law, which states that for a gas transformation at constant temperature, the product between the gas pressure and its volume is constant:
pV=k
which can also be rewritten as
p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2 (1)
where the labels 1 and 2 mark the initial and final conditions of the gas.

In our problem, p_1 = 1.5 atm, V_1 =6.5 L and V_2 =13.0 L, so the final pressure of the gas can be found by re-arranging eq.(1):
p_2 = p_1  \frac{V_1}{V_2}= (1.5 atm) \frac{6.5 L}{13.0 L}=0.75 atm

Therefore the correct answer is
<span>1. 0.75 atm</span>

An engine absorbs 1.69 kJ from a hot reservoir at 277°C and expels 1.25 kJ to a cold reservoir at 27°C in each cycle.
Anna35 [415]

Answer

Given,

Energy absorbed, Q_H = 1.69\ kJ

Energy expels,Q_C =  1.25\ kJ

Temperature of cold reservoir, T = 27°C

a) Efficiency of engine

 \eta = \dfrac{Q_H - Q_C}{Q_H}\times 100

 \eta = \dfrac{1.69 - 1.25}{1.69}\times 100

\eta =26.03 %

b) Work done by the engine

 W = Q_H- Q_C

 W =1.69 - 1.25

 W = 0.44\ kJ

c) Power output

     t = 0.296 s

   P = \dfrac{W}{t}

   P = \dfrac{0.44}{0.296}

   P = 1.486\ kW

What is the final speed of a 60 kg boulder dropped from a 111 meter cliff
saveliy_v [14]

After rolling off the edge of the cliff and falling ' M ' meters down,
the speed of the boulder is

       Square root of ( 19.6 M ) .

If M=111 meters, then the speed is <em>46.64 meters per second</em>.

We have known for roughly 500 years that if there's no air resistance,
the mass of the falling object makes no difference, and all objects fall
with the same acceleration, speed, time to splat, etc.

Sonia was experimenting with electric charges. She tied two inflated balloons together, held them next to each other, and rubbed
lions [1.4K]

Answer: They will repel each other.

Explanation:

Two inflated balloons when rubbed with woolen cloth will lead to repeal each other because of the similar charges on both the balloons.

Rubbing both the balloons together by the woolen cloth will introduce negative charge in the balloons.

As, we know that the same charges repeal each other both of the balloons with be apart from each other.

This is due to the static electricity, the negatively charged particles jump to the positive one. When balloons are rubbed they become negatively charged.
