MrRa [10]3 years ago

The first law of thermodynamics can be written as
\Delta U = Q-W
where
\Delta U is the variation of internal energy of the system
Q is the amount of heat absorbed by the system
W is the work done by the system on the surrounding.

Using this form, the sign convention for Q and W becomes:
Q > 0 --> heat absorbed by the system (because it increases the internal energy)
Q < 0 --> heat released by the system (because it decreases the internal energy)
W > 0 --> work done by the system (for instance, an expansion: when the system expands, it does work on the surrounding, and so the internal energy decreases, this is why there is a negative sign in the formula Q-W)
W < 0 --> work done by the surrounding on the system (for instance, a compression: when the system is compressed, the surrounding is doing work on the system, and so the internal energy of the system increases)

Q: ken, 0.75 kg, moves toward a wall (his path normal to the wall) at 52 m/s. 13.0 ms after he touches the wall he pushes himself off in the opposite direction at 60 m/s. What is the magnitude of the average force the wall exerts on Ken during this rapid maneuver

Answer:

-6461.54 N

Explanation:

From Newton's Fundamental equation,

F = m(v-u)/t.................... Equation 1

Where F = Force exerted in sonic, m = mass of ken, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.

Given: m = 0.75 kg, v = - 60 m/s (opposite direction), u = 52 m/s, t = 13 ms = 0.013 s

Substitute into equation 1

F = 0.75(-60-52)/0.013

F = 0.75(-112)/0.013

F = -84/0.013

F = -6461.54 N

Note: The negative sign tells that the force act in opposite direction to the initial motion of ken.

Hence the magnitude of the average force of the wall = -6461.54 N
