Answer : The final energy of the system if the initial energy was 2000 J is, 3500 J
Solution :
(1) The equation used is,

where,
= final internal energy
= initial internal energy
q = heat energy
w = work done
(2) The known variables are, q, w and 
initial internal energy =
= 2000 J
heat energy = q = 1000 J
work done = w = 500 J
(3) Now plug the numbers into the equation, we get

(4) By solving the terms, we get




(5) Therefore, the final energy of the system if the initial energy was 2000 J is, 3500 J
Answer:
The tube should be held vertically and perpendicular to the ground.
Explanation:
Answer: The tube should be held vertically and perpendicular to the ground. The reason is as follows:
Reasoning:
The power lines are parallel to the ground hence, their electric field will be perpendicular to the ground and equipotential surface will be cylindrical.
Hence, if you will put fluorescent tube parallel to the ground then both the ends of the tube will lie on the same equipotential surface and the potential difference will be zero.
So, to maximize the potential the ends of the tube must be on different equipotential surfaces. The surface which is near to the power line has high potential value and the surface which is farther from the line has lower potential value.
hence, to maximize the potential difference, the tube must be placed perpendicular to the ground.
Answer:
Explanation:
a ) starting from rest , so u = o and initial kinetic energy = 0 .
Let mass of the skier = m
Kinetic energy gained = potential energy lost
= mgh = mg l sinθ
= m x 9.8 x 70 x sin 30
= 343 m
Total kinetic energy at the base = 343 m + 0 = 343 m .
b )
In this case initial kinetic energy = 1/2 m v²
= .5 x m x 2.5²
= 3.125 m
Total kinetic energy at the base
= 3.125 m + 343 m
= 346.125 m
c ) It is not surprising as energy gained due to gravitational force by the earth is enormous . So component of energy gained due to gravitational force far exceeds the initial kinetic energy . Still in a competitive event , the fractional initial kinetic energy may be the deciding factor .
