A. Direction

Speed is just distance divided by time, but velocity is displacement divided by time and displacement has direction. Speed will always be positive, but velocity can be either positive or negative.

A worker pushed a 33 kg block 6.1 m along a level floor at constant speed with a force directed 23° below the horizontal. if the
jenyasd209 [6]
The work done occurs only in the direction the block was moved - horizontally. Work is given by:

W = F(h) * d

Where F(h) is the force applied in that direction (horizontal) and d is the distance in that direction. In this case, F(h) is the horizontal component of the applied force, F(app). However, the question doesn't give us F(app), so we need to find it some other way.

Since the block is moving at a constant speed, we know the horizontal forces must be balanced so that the net force is 0. This means that F(h) must be exactly balanced by the friction force, f. We can express F(h) as a function of F(app):

F(h) = F(app)cos(23)

Friction is a little trickier - since the block is being PUSHED into the ground a bit by the vertical component of the applied force, F(v), the normal force, N, is actually a bit more than mg:

N = mg + F(v) = mg + F(app)sin(23)

Now we can get down to business and solve for F(app) - as mentioned above:

F(h) = f
F(h) = uN
F(h) = u * (mg + F(v))
F(app)cos(23) = 0.20 * (33 * 9.8 + F(app)sin(23))
F(app) = 76.8

Now that we have F(app), we can find the exact value of F(h):

F(h) = F(app)cos(23)
F(h) = 76.8cos(23)
F(h) = 70.7

And now that we have F(h), we can find W:
W = F(h) * d
W = 70.7 * 6.1
W = 431.3

Therefore, the work done by the worker's force is 431.3 J. This also represents the increase in thermal energy of the block-floor system.

The Type K thermocouple has a sensitivity of about 41 uV /°C, i.e. for each degree difference in the junction temperature, the o
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

ΔTmin = 3.72 °C

Explanation:

With a 16-bit ADC, you get a resolution of 2^{16}=65536 steps. This means that the ADC will divide the maximum 10V input into 65536 steps:

ΔVmin = 10V / 65536 = 152.59μV

Using the thermocouple sensitiviy we can calculate the smallest temperature change that 152.59μV represents on the ADC:

\Delta Tmin = \frac{\Delta Vmin}{41 \mu V/C}= 3.72 C
