.A 0.2-kg aluminum plate, initially at 20°C, slides down a 15-m-long surface, inclined at a 30 angle to the horizontal. The forc

e of kinetic friction exactly balances the component of gravity down the plane so that the plate, once started, glides down at constant velocity. If 90% of the mechanical energy of the system is absorbed by the aluminum, what is its temperature increase at the bottom of the incline? (Specific heat for aluminum is 900J/kg⋅°C.)
a. 0.16 C°b. 0.07 C°c. 0.04 C°d. 0.03 C°

To solve this problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Work according to the Force and distance, as well as the concepts related to energy lost-or gained-by heat. Mathematically the energy corresponding to heat is given as:

Q = mC_p(\Delta T)

Where,

m = mass

C_p= Specific heat

\Delta T = Change in Temperature

At the same time the Work made by the Force and the distance is given as:

W = F*d \rightarrow W=mg*d

As the force is applied at an angle of 30 degrees, the efficient component would be given by the vertical then the work / energy would be determined as:

W = mg*dsin(30)

W = (15m)(0.2kg)(9.81)(sin30)

W = 13.24J

Now this energy is used to heat the aluminum. We can find the change at the temperature as follow:

Q = mC_p(\Delta T)

13.24 = (0.2)(900)(\Delta T)

\Delta T = 0.0736 \°C

Therefore the correct answer is B.

A circular test track for cars has a circumference of 3.5 kmkm . A car travels around the track from the southernmost point to t
elixir [45]

Answer:

(A) Distance will be equal to 1.75 km

(B) Displacement will be equal to 1.114 km

Explanation:

We have given circumference of the circular track = 3.5 km

Circumference is given by 2\pi r=3.5

r = 0.557 km

(a) It is given that car travels from southernmost point to the northernmost point.

For this car have to travel the distance equal to semi perimeter of the circular track

So distance will be equal to =\frac{3.5}{2}=1.75km

(b) If car go along the diameter of the circular track then it will also go from southernmost point to the northernmost point. and it will be equal to diameter of the track

So displacement will be equal to d = 2×0.557 = 1.114 m

​A piston–cylinder assembly contains 5.0 kg of air, initially at 2.0 bar, 30 oC. The air undergoes a process to a state where th
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Explanation:

The process is isothermic,  as P V = constant .

work done = 2.303 n RT log P₁ / P₂

= 2.303 x 5 / 29 x 8.3 x 303  log 2 / 1 kJ

= 300.5k J

This energy in work done by the gas will come fro heat supplied as internal energy is constant due to constant temperature.

heat supplied  = 300.5k J

specific volume is volume per unit mass

v / m

pv = n RT

pv  = m / M  RT

v / m = RT / p M

specific volume = RT / p M

option B is correct.
