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.

Two identical stars with mass M orbit around their center of mass. Each orbit is circular and has radius

kondaur [170]

Answers: (A) $F=G\frac{M^2}{4R^2}$ (B) $V=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{4R}}$ (C) $T=4\pi R\sqrt{\frac{R}{GM}}$ (D)

$E=-\frac{GM^{2}}{4R}$

Explanation:

<h2>(A) Gravitational force of one star on the other</h2>

According to the law of universal gravitation:

$F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}$ (1)

Where:

$F$ is the module of the gravitational force exerted between both bodies

$G$ is the universal gravitation constant.

$m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ are the masses of both bodies.

$r$ is the distance between both bodies

In the case of this binary system with two stars with the same mass $M$ and separated each other by a distance $2R$ , the gravitational force is:

$F=G\frac{(M)(M)}{(2R)^2}$ (2)

$F=G\frac{M^2}{4R^2}$ (3) This is the gravitational force between the two stars.

<h2>(B) Orbital speed of each star</h2>

Taking into account both stars describe a circular orbit and the fact this is a symmetrical system, the orbital speed $V$ of each star is the same. In addition, if we assume this system is in equilibrium, <u>gravitational force must be equal to the centripetal force</u> $F_{C}$ (remembering we are talking about a circular orbit):

So: $F=F_{C}$ (4)

Where $F_{C}=Ma_{C}$ (5) Being $a_{C}$ the centripetal acceleration

On the other hand, we know there is a relation between $a_{C}$ and the velocity $V$ :

$a_{C}=\frac{V^{2}}{R}$ (6)

Substituting (6) in (5):

$F_{C}=M\frac{V^{2}}{R}$ (7)

Substituting (3) and (7) in (4):

$G\frac{M^2}{4R^2}=M\frac{V^{2}}{R}$ (8)

Finding $V$ :

$V=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{4R}}$ (9) This is the orbital speed of each star

<h2>(C) Period of the orbit of each star</h2><h2 />

The period $T$ of each star is given by:

$T=\frac{2\pi R}{V}$ (10)

Substituting (9) in (10):

$T=\frac{2\pi R}{\sqrt{\frac{GM}{4R}}}$ (11)

Solving and simplifying:

$T=4\pi R\sqrt{\frac{R}{GM}}$ (12) This is the orbital period of each star.

<h2>(D) Energy required to separate the two stars to infinity</h2>

The gravitational potential energy $U_{g}$ is given by:

$U_{g}=-\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r}$ (13)

Taking into account this energy is always negative, which means the maximum value it can take is 0 (this happens when the masses are infinitely far away); the variation in the potential energy $\Delta U_{g}$ for this case is:

$\Delta U_{g}=U-U_{\infty}$ (14)

Knowing $U_{\infty}=0$ the total potential energy is $U$ and in the case of this binary system is:

$U=-\frac{G(M)(M)}{2R}=-\frac{GM^{2}}{2R}$ (15)

Now, we already have the <u>potential energy</u>, but we need to know the kinetic energy $K$ in order to obtain the total <u>Mechanical Energy</u> $E$ required to separate the two stars to infinity.

In this sense:

$E=U+K$ (16)

Where the kinetic energy of both stars is:

$K=\frac{1}{2}MV^{2}+\frac{1}{2}MV^{2}=MV^{2}$ (17)

Substituting the value of $V$ found in (9):

$K=M(\sqrt{\frac{GM}{4R}})^{2}$ (17)

$K=\frac{1}{4}\frac{GM^{2}}{R}$ (18)

Substituting (15) and (18) in (16):

$E=-\frac{GM^{2}}{2R}+\frac{1}{4}\frac{GM^{2}}{R}$ (19)

$E=-\frac{GM^{2}}{4R}$ (20) This is the energy required to separate the two stars to infinity.

When you hold a cold glass of water in your warm hand, which way does the heat flow ?

Tanya [424]

Heat flows naturally from a warmer object (higher energy) to a cooler one (lower energy).

What is the answer?

Andrews [41]

Answer:

6.26 m/s

Explanation:

Pretty slow.... the PE (Potential Energy) at 2m will be converted to KE (Kinetic Energy) at the bottom of the track (neglecting friction)

PE = KE

mgh = 1/2 mv^2 divide both sides of the equation by 'm'

gh = 1/2 v^2 multiply both sides by 2

2 gh = v^2 take sqrt of both sides

v = sqrt ( 2gh) = sqrt ( 2*9.81*2) = 6.26 m/s
