A red sphere of mass m and a blue sphere of mass 5m are attached to the ceiling by massless strings of identical length forming

twin pendulums of length L. The red sphere is drawn to the left so that its center of mass has been raised a distance h and is then released. As the red sphere moves back through equilibrium, it collides with the blue sphere head-on.
a. If the two spheres adhere together during the collision, the combined system swings to the right and reach a maximum height, hmax, inelastic. Find this height in terms of h.
b. If the two spheres collide elastically, the two spheres will rebound in opposite directions. What is the maximum height of the blue sphere, hmax,elastic, in this case? How does it compare to your answer in part (a)?

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) masses in inelastic collision are m and 5m . The potential energy of red sphere will be converted into kinetic energy before collision with blue sphere.

mgh = 1/2 mv² , v is velocity at the lowest point of red sphere.

v = √ 2gh

Let V be common velocity after collision . We shall apply law of conservation of momentum to calculate V .

mv = 6m x V

V = v / 6

If hmax be the height upto which both of them go after collision , the kinetic energy of both the  ball will be spent to generate potential of both the masses

1/2 x 6m x V² = 6m x g x hmax

hmax = V² / 2g

= v² / (36 x 2g)

= 2gh / 72 g

= h / 36

b ) Let v₁ and v₂ be the velocity of m and 5m after collision . m will go in opposite direction .

Applying law of conservation of momentum

m v = 5m v₂ - m v₁

v = 5 v₂ - v₁

Since collision is elastic ,

relative velocity of approach = relative velocity of separation

v = v₁ + v₂

from the two equation above

5 v₂ - v₁ = v₁ + v₂

4v₂ = 2 v₁

v₁ = 2v₂

putting this value in equation above

2v₂ + v₂ = v

v₂ = v / 3

if hmax is the height upto which blue ball goes

1/2 5m x v₂² = 5m x g x hmax

hmax = v₂² / 2g

= v² / 18g

= 2gh / 18g

= h / 9 Ans , so in this case blue ball will go to greater height.

A heat engine with 0.300 mol of a monatomic ideal gas initially fills a 1000 cm3 cylinder at 500 K . The gas goes through the fo
LuckyWell [14K]

Complete Question:

A heat engine with 0.300 mol of a monatomic ideal gas initially fills a 1000 cm3 cylinder at 500 K . The gas goes through the following closed cycle: - Isothermal expansion to 5000 cm3. - Isochoric cooling to 400 K . - Isothermal compression to 1000 cm3. - Isochoric heating to 500 K .

a) what is the work for one cycle

b) what is the thermal efficiency

Answer:

a) Work done for 1 cycle = 402.13

b) Thermal efficiency = 20%

Explanation:

Number of moles, n = 0.300 mol

Initial Volume, V₁ = 1000 cm³

Temperature, T = 500 K

Isothermal expansion to 5000 cm³

Final volume, V₂ = 5000 cm³

R = 8.314 J/ mol.K

Work done, W = nRT ln(V₂/V₁)

W = (0.3 * 8.314 * 500) * ln(5000/1000)

W = 1247.1 * ln5

W₁ = 2007.13 J

Isochoric cooling

In an Isochoric process, volume is constant i.e. V₂ = V₁ = V

W = nRT ln(V/V)

But  ln(V/V) = ln 1 = 0

Work done, W₂ = 0 Joules

Isothermal Compression to 1000 cm³

V₂ = 1000 cm³

V₁ = 5000 cm³

W = nRT ln(V₂/V₁)

W = 0.3 * 8.314 * 400 ln(1000/5000)

W₃ = -1605 J

Isochoric heating to 500 K

Since there is no change in volume, no work is done

W₄ = 0 J

a) Work done for 1 cycle

W = W₁ + W₂ + W₃ + W₄

W = 2007.13 + 0 + 0 -1605+0

W = 402.13 Joules

b) Thermal efficiency

Thermal efficiency = (Net workdone for 1 cycle)/(Heat absorbed)

Heat absorbed = Work done due to thermal expansion = 2007.13 J

Thermal efficiency = 402.13/2007.13

Thermal efficiency = 0.2

Thermal efficiency = 0.2 * 100% = 20 %

assume the suns total energy output is 4.0 * 10^26 watts, and 1 watt is 1 joule/second. assume 4.3 * 10^-12 J is released from e
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

9.3\cdot 10^{37}

Explanation:

Power is defined as the energy produced (E) per unit of time (t):

P= \frac{E}{t}

This means that the energy produced in the Sun each second (1 s), given the power P=4.0\cdot 10^{26}W, is

E=Pt=(4.0\cdot 10^{26}W)(1s )=4.0\cdot 10^{26} J

Each p-p chain reaction produces an amount of energy of

E_1 = 4.3\cdot 10^{-12} J

in order to get the total number of p-p chain reactions per second, we need to divide the total energy produced per second by the energy produced by each reaction:

n=\frac{E}{E_1}=\frac{4.0\cdot 10^{26} J}{4.3\cdot 10^{-12} J}=9.3\cdot 10^{37}
