The boom of a fire truck raises a fireman (and his equipment – total weight 280 lbf) 60 ft into the air to fight a building fire
Katen [24]

Answer:

a)Work done by fireman=   2.15  Btu

b) Time t= 0.86 sec

Explanation:

Given that

Weight = 280 lbf

We know that 1 lbf = 4.44 N

so 280 lbf = 1245.5 N

Weight =1245.5 N

Height h = 60 ft

We know that

1 ft = 0.3048 m

So 60 ft = 18.28 m

 h =18.28 m

Power = 3.5 hp

We know that

1 hp =0.74 KW

So 3.5 hp = 2.61 KW

Power = 2.61 KJ/s

So the work done by fireman = Weight x h

Now by putting the values

Work done by fireman= 1245.5 x 18.28 J

Work done by fireman=   2267.74 J

Work done by fireman=   2.26774  KJ

We know that 1 Btu= 1.05 KJ

So   2.266 KJ = 2.15 Btu

Work done by fireman=   2.15  Btu

We know that ,rate of work is called power.

Power x time =  work

2.61 x t = 2.26

So t= 0.86 sec

A. Compare solids, liquids, and gases in terms of the way their volumes change (or don't change) when placed into different cont
svet-max [94.6K]

a) Solids keep shape, liquids take shape of containers but don't spill, gases take container's shape and spill out

b) if you heat gas, speed of its molecules will increase and they'll push the container's walls stronger, so the pressure will increase when the container heated

c) Heat flows from warmer to colder bodies

d) For monatomic gases it's U=1.5nRT only, molecular gas has bonds between atoms so total internal energy increases

e) Of gases

f) v=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}=321 m/s

g) U=5/2*nRT=37830.85 J

This force will cause the path of the particle to curve. Therefore, at a later time, the direction of the force will ___________
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

have a component along the direction of motion that remains perpendicular to the direction of motion

Explanation:

In this exercise you are asked to enter which sentence is correct, let's start by writing Newton's second law.

circular movement

          F = m a

          a = v² / r

          F = m v²/R

where the force is perpendicular to the velocity, all the force is used to change the direction of the velocity

in linear motion

         F = m a

where the force is parallel to the acceleration of the body, the total force is used to change the modulus of the velocity

the correct answer is: have a component along the direction of motion that remains perpendicular to the direction of motion

A certain moving electron has a kinetic energy of 0.991 × 10−19 J. Calculate the speed necessary for the electron to have this e
alisha [4.7K]

Answer: The speed necessary for the electron to have this energy is 466462 m/s

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by an object by virtue of its motion.

K.E=\frac{1mv^2}{2}

K.E= kinetic energy = 0.991\times 10^{-19}J

m= mass of an electron = 9.109\times 10^{-31}kg

v= velocity of object = ?

Putting in the values in the equation:

0.991\times 10^{-19}J=\frac{1\times 9.109\times 10^{-31}kg\times v^2}{2}

v=466462m/s

The speed necessary for the electron to have this energy is 466462 m/s
