Which type of energy is a result of motion

If a system has 225 kcal of work done to it, and releases 5.00 × 102 kj of heat into its surroundings, what is the change in int

vovikov84 [41]

We can solve the problem by using the first law of thermodynamics:

$\Delta U = Q-W$

where

$\Delta U$ is the change in internal energy of the system

$Q$ is the heat absorbed by the system

$W$ is the work done by the system on the surrounding

In this problem, the work done by the system is

$W=-225 kcal=-941.4 kJ$

with a negative sign because the work is done by the surrounding on the system, while the heat absorbed is

$Q=-5 \cdot 10^2 kJ=-500 kJ$

with a negative sign as well because it is released by the system.

Therefore, by using the initial equation, we find

$\Delta U=Q-W=-500 kJ+941.4 kJ=441.4 kJ$

Amy uses 20N of force to push a lawn mower 10 meters. How much work does she do? *

babunello [35]

She does 200J .

We know she uses 20N of force and 10m is the distance. We multiply both numbers and we are given our answer of 200J. Hope this was helpful. :)

What two forces are balanced in what we call gravitational equilibrium? What two forces are balanced in what we call gravitation

JulijaS [17]

Question:

What two forces are balanced in what we call gravitational equilibrium?

A) the electromagnetic force and gravity

B) outward pressure and the strong force

C) outward pressure and inward gravity

D) the strong force and gravity

E) the strong force and kinetic energy

Answer:

The correct answer is C) Outward Pressure and Inward gravity

Explanation:

Gravitational equilibrium is a balance between the inward pull of gravity and the outward push of internal gas pressure. It also refers to the condition of a star in which the weight of overlying layers at each point is balanced by the total pressure at that point.

As the weight increases in the lower layers of the sun, the pressure also increases to maintain this balance. So you find that the outward push of pressure balances the inward pull of gravity thus creating an equilibrium.

Why is gravitational equilibrium important?

The simple answer is <u>balance. </u> If for instance the sun as a stable star (which has gravitational equilibrium) loses it's balance, it becomes highly unstable and prone to violent outbursts. These outbursts are caused by the very high radiation pressure at the star's upper layers, which blows significant portions of the matter at the "surface" into space during eruptions that may rage for several years. Of course such a condition is adverse to the existence and support of life.

Cheers!

At a hot air balloon race, a person on the ground shots a ball of confetti from a cannon to start the race. One of the balloons

Sati [7]

Answer:

a) The balloon and the ball will meet after 1.43 s.

b) The ball will reach the balloon at 15.7 m above the ground.

Explanation:

The height of the confetti ball is given by the following equation:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Where:

y = height of the ball at time t

y0 = initial height

v0 = initial velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

The height of the ball is given by this equation:

y = y0 + v · t

Where v is the constant velocity.

When the ball and the ballon meet, both heights are equal. Let´s consider the ground as the origin of the frame of reference so that y0 = 0:

y balloon = y ball

y0 + v · t = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t² (y0 = 0)

11 m/s · t = 18 m/s · t -1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t² + 18 m/s · t - 11 m/s · t

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t² + 7 m/s · t

0 = t( -4.9 m/s² · t + 7 m/s)

t = 0 and

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t + 7 m/s

-7 m/s / - 4.9 m/s² = t

t = 1.43 s

They will meet after 1.43 s

b) Now let´s calculate the height of the balloon after 1.43 s

y = v · t

y = 11 m/s · 1.43 s = 15.7 m

The ball will reach the balloon at 15.7 m above the ground.
