A sled is dragged along a horizontal path at a constant speed of 1.50 m/s by a rope that is inclined at an angle of 30.0° with r

espect to the horizontal. The total weight of the sled is 470 N. The tension in the rope is 230 N. How much work is done by the rope on the sled in a time interval of 10.0 s?

Answer:2987.7 J

Explanation:

Given

sled weight is $W=470 N$

Tension in rope $T=230 N$

Time interval $t=10 s$

velocity of sled $v=1.5 m/s$

here speed is equal to velocity which is constant therefore acceleration is zero

thus $F_{net}=0$

Distance traveled in $t=10 s$

$x=v\times t=1.5\times 10=15 m$

considering surface to be friction less

thus $T\cos 30$ will do work on sled

$W=F\cdot x$

$W=T\cos 30\cdot x$

$W=230\cos 30\times 15$

$W=2987.78 J\approx 2.987 kJ$

A piece of wood has a mass of 25g and a volume of <br> 10cm3 What is its density?

Tasya [4]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 2.5 g/cm³</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\$

From the question we have

$density = \frac{25}{10} = \frac{5}{2} \\$

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.5 g/cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you

Suppose someone pours 0.250 kg of 20.0ºC water (about a cup) into a 0.500-kg aluminum pan with a temperature of 150ºC. Assume th

Troyanec [42]

Answer : The temperature when the water and pan reach thermal equilibrium short time later is, $59.10^oC$

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

$q_1=-q_2$

$m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)$

where,

$c_1$ = specific heat of aluminium = $0.90J/g^oC$

$c_2$ = specific heat of water = $4.184J/g^oC$

$m_1$ = mass of aluminum = 0.500 kg = 500 g

$m_2$ = mass of water = 0.250 kg = 250 g

$T_f$ = final temperature of mixture = ?

$T_1$ = initial temperature of aluminum = $150^oC$

$T_2$ = initial temperature of water = $20^oC$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$500g\times 0.90J/g^oC\times (T_f-150)^oC=-250g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times (T_f-20)^oC$

$T_f=59.10^oC$

Therefore, the temperature when the water and pan reach thermal equilibrium short time later is, $59.10^oC$

What allows the bimetallic coil to turn on or off a heating or cooling system? The two metals contract the same amount. The ther

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The two metals expand differently.

Explanation:

The bimetallic strip has two metal strips positioned like a bridge, these strips connect the electrical circuit to the heating system. When these strips are linear or "down" they allow the electricity to move through the circuit to the heating system to turn the heat on. When the strips are "up" the disconnect the electricity flow, thus turning the heating system off, thus the room becomes cool/cold.
