Answer:

The potential energy at point A is 17.1675 J

Explanation:

The capillary potential is the work expended to bring up a unit mass of liquid to a point in a capillary region from a level liquid surface. It is the capillary potential that facilitates the movement of moisture within soil capillaries

In meteorology it is used to describe the level of saturated soil above the water table

Potential energy is the energy inherent in a body by virtue of its position, therefore the potentials of both point A and B are

Point A, elevation = 75 cm capillary potential = -100 cm

Point B, elevation = 25 cm capillary potential = -200 cm

The total potential energy at point A is

Elevation above reference - capillary potential =75-(-100) = 175 cm

which gives per unit mass

PE = m × g × h = 1 kg × 9.81 m/s ² × 1.75 m = 17.1675 kg·m²/s² = 17.1675 J

a 4kg metal block absorbs 5000j of energy and increases to a temperature of 22°c. the metal has a specific heat capacity of 250j
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

17 °C

Explanation:

From specific Heat capacity.

Q = cm(t₂-t₁)................. Equation 1

Where Q = Heat absorb by the metal block, c = specific heat capacity of the metal block, m = mass of the metal block, t₂ = final temperature, t₁ = Initial temperature.

make t₁ the subject of the equation

t₁ = t₂-(Q/cm)............... Equation 2

Given: t₂ = 22 °C, Q = 5000 J, m = 4 kg, c = 250 J/kg.°c

Substitute into equation 2

t₁ = 22-[5000/(4×250)

t₁ = 22-(5000/1000)

t₁ = 22-5

t₁ = 17 °C

Un puente de acero de 100 m de largo a 8° C aumenta su temperatura a 24°C ¿Cuánto medirá su longitud? Valor del coeficiente de d
BartSMP [9]

La longitud <em>final</em> del puente de acero es 100.018 metros.

Asumamos que la dilatación <em>térmica</em> experimentada por el puente de acero es <em>pequeña</em>, de modo que podemos emplear la siguiente aproximación <em>lineal</em> para determinar la longitud <em>final</em> del puente de acero (L), en metros:

L = L_{o}\cdot [1+\alpha\cdot (T_{f}-T_{o})] (1)

Donde:

  • L_{o} - Longitud inicial del puente, en metros.
  • \alpha - Coeficiente de dilatación, sin unidad.
  • T_{o} - Temperatura inicial, en grados Celsius.
  • T_{f} - Temperatura final, en grados Celsius.

Si tenemos que L_{o} = 100\,m, \alpha = 11.5\times 10^{-6}, T_{o} = 8\,^{\circ}C y T_{f} = 24\,^{\circ}C, entonces la longitud final del puente de acero es:

L = (100\,m)\cdot [1+(11.5\times 10^{-6})\cdot (24\,^{\circ}C - 8\,^{\circ}C)]

L = 100.018\,m

La longitud <em>final</em> del puente de acero es 100.018 metros.
