Given :
A mover slides a refrigerator weighing 650 N at a constant velocity across the floor a distance of 8.1 m.
The force of friction between the refrigerator and the floor is 230 N.
To Find :
How much work has been performed by the mover on the refrigerator.
Solution :
Since, refrigerator is moving with constant velocity.
So, force applied by the mover is also 230 N ( equal to force of friction ).
Now, work done in order to move the refrigerator is :
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
W = - 118.24 J (negative sign shows that work is done on piston)
Explanation:
First, we find the change in internal energy of the diatomic gas by using the following formula:
where,
ΔU = Change in internal energy of gas = ?
n = no. of moles of gas = 0.0884 mole
Cv = Molar Specific Heat at constant volume = 5R/2 (for diatomic gases)
Cv = 5(8.314 J/mol.K)/2 = 20.785 J/mol.K
ΔT = Rise in Temperature = 18.8 K
Therefore,
Now, we can apply First Law of Thermodynamics as follows:
where,
ΔQ = Heat flow = - 83.7 J (negative sign due to outflow)
W = Work done = ?
Therefore,
<u>W = - 118.24 J (negative sign shows that work is done on piston)</u>
Answer:
<em>The statement is true</em>
Explanation:
<u>Energy Conversion </u>
When an object starts to fall in free air, it speeds up as it falls. The force of gravity acting on the object causes energy to be transferred from its gravitational potential energy to its kinetic energy. We can safely say the height converts to speed and vice-versa. If no external forces act on the system, we can easily calculate heights and speeds by knowing the total mechanical energy (gravitational potential plus kinetic) is conserved.
