An inventor develops a stationary cycling device by which an individual, while pedaling, can convert all of the energy expended

into heat for warming water.
How much mechanical energy is required to increase the temperature of 300 g of water (enough for 1 cup of coffee) from 20°C to 95°C?
(1 cal = 4.186 J, the specific heat of water is 4 186 J/kg⋅°C)
a. 94 000 J
b. 22 000 J
c. 5 400 J
d. 14 J

Answer:

Q=94185\ J

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of water, m=0.3\ kg
  • initial temperature of water, T_i=20^{\circ}C
  • final temperature of water, T_f=95^{\circ}C
  • specific heat of water, c=4186\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}

<u>Now the amount of heat energy required:</u>

Q=m.c.\Delta T

Q=0.3\times 4186\times (95-20)

Q=94185\ J

Since all of the mechanical energy is being converted into heat, therefore the same amount of mechanical energy is required.

What is displacement
saveliy_v [14]
This is what wiki says hope it helps
A displacement is a vector whose length is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of a point P.[1] It quantifies both the distance and direction of an imaginary motion along a straight line from the initial position to the final position of the point.

A displacement may be also described as a 'relative position': the final position of a point (Sf) relative to its initial position (Si), and a displacement vector can be mathematically defined as the difference between the final and initial position vectors:

g The speed of light in a vacuum is larger for short wavelength electromagnetic waves. larger for high frequency electromagnetic
Orlov [11]

Answer:

A constant value everywhere in the universe.

Explanation:

The speed of light in a vacuum is a constant value. It is not affected by change in frequency or wavelength of the light.

Mathematically the speed of light is given as:

c = λf

where λ = wavelength and f - frequency

The speed of light is the constant of proportionality between frequency and wavelength. In order words, wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. As the wavelength increases, frequency decreases and vice versa.

While the change in wavelength and frequency of light affect the energy of the light, its speed is a constant value as long as the medium is a vacuum.

The speed of light is also not dependent on the manner with which the light wave is moving.

The tension in a string from which a 4.0 kg object is suspended in an elevator is equal to 44 N. What is the acceleration of the
Ronch [10]

Answer: 1

Explanation:

Given

Tension is the string T=44\ N

mass of object m=4\ kg

Tension is greater than the weight of the object i.e. elevator is moving upward

we can write

\Rightarrow T-mg=ma\\\Rightarrow T=m(g+a)\\\Rightarrow 44=4(10+a)\\\Rightarrow 11=10+a\\\Rightarrow a=1\ m/s^2
