In theory, yes. The 2 problems are the materials used for clinical thermometers, & the temperature capacity of the clinical thermometer. If anything, change the material & extend the measurement threshold. At that point, it wouldn´t be used for clinical garbage anymore.
Answer:
<u>400</u> J work is done BY the engine.
The internal energy of the gas is <u>620</u> J
Explanation:
The given information are;
The heat added to the cylinder = 620 J
The force applied by the piston of the engine = 8.0 kN = 8,000 N
The distance over which the force moves (the piston) = 5.0 cm = 0.05 m
The work done (by the engine) = Force × Distance = 8,000 N × 0.05 m = 400 J
The internal energy is the sum of the kinetic and potential energy of the system
Therefore, given that the internal energy, U, is the sum total of the energy in the system
∴ U = The heat supplied to the system = 620 J
Which gives;
<u>400</u> J work is done BY the engine.
The internal energy of the gas is <u>620</u> J.
Answer: Both cannonballs will hit the ground at the same time.
Explanation:
Suppose that a given object is on the air. The only force acting on the object (if we ignore air friction and such) will be the gravitational force.
then the acceleration equation is only on the vertical axis, and can be written as:
a(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)
Now, to get the vertical velocity equation, we need to integrate over time.
v(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)*t + v0
Where v0 is the initial velocity of the object in the vertical axis.
if the object is dropped (or it only has initial velocity on the horizontal axis) then v0 = 0m/s
and:
v(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)*t
Now, if two objects are initially at the same height (both cannonballs start 1 m above the ground)
And both objects have the same vertical velocity, we can conclude that both objects will hit the ground at the same time.
You can notice that the fact that one ball is fired horizontally and the other is only dropped does not affect this, because we only analyze the vertical problem, not the horizontal one. (This is something useful to remember, we can separate the vertical and horizontal movement in these type of problems)
A simple rule to bear in mind is that all objects (regardless of their mass) experience the same acceleration when in a state of free fall. When the only force is gravity, the acceleration is the same value for all objects. On Earth, this acceleration value is 9.8 m/s/s.
