Answer:

A person climbs a set of stairs

Explanation:

Potential energy is said to be possessed by an object due to its position. As the height from the ground level increase, the potential energy increases. It is calculated by the below formula as :

P = mgh

Out of the given options, the option that illustrates an increase in potential energy is option (b) i.e. a person climbs a set of stairs. As he steps one stair, its position from ground increases. It means its potential energy increases.

A dart with mass md is launched toward a block of mass mb that is suspended from a string of length L. The dart is moving horizo
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

A) Impulse is the same for both the objects

B) The higher is the speed, the greater will be the height.

Explanation:

Part a)

The time of interaction of the two bodies i.e the hanging mass and the stick is same. Thus, force caused by dart on the block = force caused by block on the dart. Hence, impulse is the same for both the objects.  

Part B

The energy will be conserved in the entire reaction process

Hence, Kinetic energy = potential energy

0.5Mv^2 = gh(md+mb)

H is directly proportional to the square of speed.  

Hence, the higher is the speed, the greater will be the height.

HELP DUE TONIGHT<br><br> What is friction? How does friction affect the motion of an object?
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Friction always acts in the direction opposing motion. This means if friction is present, it counteracts and cancels some of the force causing the motion (if the object is being accelerated).

Explanation:

Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other.

How much work must be done to stop a 1100-kg car traveling at 112 km/h?(Hint: You will need to convert the speed first.)Answer:
zimovet [89]

According to the Work-Energy Theorem, the work done on an object is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the object:

W=\Delta K

Since the car ends with a kinetic energy of 0J (because it stops), then the work needed to stop the car is equal to the initial kinetic energy of the car:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Replace m=1100kg and v=112km/h. Write the speed in m/s. Remember that 1m/s = 3.6km/h:

\begin{gathered} K=\frac{1}{2}(1100kg)\left(112\frac{km}{h}\times\frac{1\frac{m}{s}}{3.6\frac{km}{h}}\right)^2=532,345.679...J \\  \\ \therefore K\approx532,346J \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is: 532,346 J.

One of the most efficient engines built so far has the following characteristics: combustion chamber temperature = 1900°C, exhau
suter [353]

Answer:

actual efficiency is  47.78 %

Carnot efficiency  is 67.65 %

power output is 5.20 × 10^3 hp

Explanation:

given data

temperature = 1900°C = 1900+ 273 K = 2173 K

exhaust temperature = 430°C = 430 + 273 K = 703 K

fuel = 7.0 × 10^9 cal

work = 1.4 × 10^10 J

to find out

actual efficiency  and Carnot efficiency and power output of engine

solution

first we find actual efficiency that is = work / heat input

put the value and

input energy  = 7.0 × 10^9 cal  (4.184 J/1 cal)  = 29.29 × 10^9 J

actual efficiency  =  1.4 × 10^10 / ( 29.29 × 10^9 )

actual efficiency  =  0.4778

actual efficiency is  47.78 %

and

Carnot efficiency  is = 1 - ( 703 / 2173 )

so Carnot efficiency  is  = 0.67648

Carnot efficiency  is 67.65 %

and

power output  = work / time

power output  =  1.4 × 10^10 / 3600 sec

power output = 3.88 × 10^6 W

power output = 3.88 × 10^6 W / 746 hp

so power output is 5.20 × 10^3 hp
