Marc attaches a falling 500-kg object with a rope through a pulley to a paddle wheel shaft. He places the system in a well-insul

ated tank holding 25 kg of water. When the object falls, it causes the paddle wheel to rotate and churn the water. If the object falls a vertical distance of 100 m at constant speed, what is the temperature change of the water? (1 kcal = 4 186 J, the specific heat of water is 4 186 J/kgC, and g = 9.8 m/s2)

Answer:

4.68227 °C

Explanation:

m_o = Mass of object = 500 kg

m_w = Mass of water = 25 kg

c = Specific heat of water at 20°C = 4186 J/kg°C

h = Height from which the object falls = 100 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

The potential energy and heat will balance each other

PE=Q\\\Rightarrowmc m_ogh=m_oc\Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\frac{m_ogh}{m_oc}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\frac{500\times 9.8\times 100}{25\times 4186}\\\Rightarrow \Delta=4.68227\ ^{\circ}C

The temperature change in the water is 4.68227 °C

A disk with a diameter of 0.05 m is spinning with a constant velocity about an axle perpendicular to the disk and running throug
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

f= 7.8Hz

Explanation:

a= 12g= 120m/s²

a= ω²r

120= ω²×0.05

ω= 48.99 rad/s

2πf= 48.99

f= 7.8Hz

What is newton's second law of motion?
lord [1]

Answer:

Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

A kangaroo jumps to a vertical height of 2.8 m. How long was it in the air before returning to earth
BaLLatris [955]
The answer would be 2.8m height on earth takes 
2.8=1/2*9.8*t^2 => <span>s = ut +1/2at^2 </span>
