Answer:

a) 607.5 J

b) 160.531875 J

c)  0 J

d)  0 J

e) 2.925 m\s

Explanation:

The given data :-

  • Mass of the box ( m ) = 37.5 kg.
  • Displacement made by box ( x ) = 4.05 m.
  • Horizontal force ( F ) = 150 N.
  • The co-efficient of friction between box and floor ( μ ) = 0.3
  • Gravitational force ( N ) = m × g = 37.5 × 9.81 = 367.875

Solution:-

a) The work done by applied force ( W )

W = force applied × displacement = 150 × 4.05 = 607.5 J

b)  The increase in internal energy in the box-floor system due to friction.

Frictional force ( f ) = μ × N = 0.3 × 367.875 = 110.3625 N

Change in internal energy = change in kinetic energy.

ΔU = ( K.E )₂ - ( K.E )₁

Since the initial velocity is zero so the  ( K.E )₁ = 0  

ΔU = ( K.E )₂ = ( F - f ) × ( x ) = ( 150 - 110.3625 ) × 4.05 = 160.531875 J

c) The work done by the normal force .

Displacement of box vertically = 0

W = force applied × displacement = 367.875 × 0 = 0 J

d)  The work done by the gravitational force.

Displacement of box vertically = 0

W = force applied × displacement = 367.875 × 0 = 0 J

e) The change in kinetic energy of the box

( K.E )₂ - ( K.E )₁ = ( K.E )₂ - 0 = ( F - f ) × ( x ) = ( 150 - 110.3625 ) × 4.05 = 160.531875 J

f) The final speed of the box

( K.E )₂ = 160.531875 J = 0.5 × 37.5 × v²

v² = 8.56

v = 2.925 m\s.

The charges on the proton and electron are typically measured in: Select the correct answer below: volts amperes coulombs dalton
malfutka [58]

Answer: columbs

Explanation:

Electrical charge are measured in columbs, usually demoted as C. Hence, the charges on proton and electron will be measured in Coloumbs. It typically measures the amount of electricity conveyed per second by a current of 1 ampere. The other units Given such as ; Volt is used for measuring voltage, which is the pressure in an electrical source. AMPERE is used for measuring the current flowing through an electrical circuit.

Dalton is a unit of mass and is about 1.660 * 10^-27 kg

A large power plant heats 1917 kg of water per second to high-temperature steam to run its electrical generators.
erastova [34]

Complete Question

A large power plant heats 1917 kg of water per second to high-temperature steam to run its electrical generators.

(a) How much heat transfer is needed each second to raise the water temperature from 35.0°C to 100°C, boil it, and then raise the resulting steam from 100°C to 450°C? Specific heat of water is 4184 J/(kg · °C), the latent heat of vaporization of water is 2256 kJ/kg, and the specific heat of steam is 1520 J/(kg · °C).

J

(b) How much power is needed in megawatts? (Note: In real power plants, this process occurs under high pressure, which alters the boiling point. The results of this problem are only approximate.)

MW

Answer:

The heat transferred is  Q = 5.866 * 10^9 J

The power is  P = 5866\  MW

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      Mass of the water per second is m = 1917 \ kg

      The initial temperature of the water is T_i  = 35^oC

      The boiling point of water is  T_b = 100^oC

      The final temperature T_f = 450^oC

      The latent heat of vapourization of water is  c__{L}} = 2256*10^3 J/kg

      The specific heat of water c_w = 4184 J/kg^oC

      The specific heat of stem is C_s =1520 \ J/kg ^oC

Generally the heat needed each second is mathematically represented as

         Q = m[c_w (T_i - T_b) + m* c__{L}}  + m* c__{S}} (T_f - T_b)]

Then substituting the value

        Q = m[c_w [T_i - T_b] + c__{L}}  + C__{S}} [T_f - T_b]]

         Q = 1917 [(4184) [100 - 35] + [2256 * 10^3]  +[1520]  [450 - 100]]

         Q = 1917 * [3.05996 * 10^6]

         Q = 5.866 * 10^9 J

The power required is mathematically represented as

         P = \frac{Q}{t}

From the question t = 1\ s

So  

        P = \frac{5.866 *10^9}{1}

        P = 5866*10^6 \ W

        P = 5866\  MW

A heat engine does 200 j of work per cycle while exhausting 600 j of heat to the cold reservoir. what is the engine's thermal ef
AveGali [126]
The thermal efficiency of an engine is
\eta= \frac{W}{Q}
where
W is the work done by the engine
Q is the heat absorbed by the engine to do the work

In this problem, the work done by the engine is W=200 J, while the heat exhausted is Q=600 J, so the efficiency of the machine is
\eta= \frac{W}{Q}= \frac{200 J}{600 J}=0.33 = 33 \%

What difficulty will you encounter if you only have data from two recording station?
denpristay [2]

<span>If you have only two data from two recording stations then you will be having a hard time finding the correct location of the epicenter. This is because triangulation method requires 3 recording station. If you have 2 recording station, the 2 circles will intersect at 2 points giving you 2 locations that could possibly be the epicenter.</span>
