Answer:

0.00016 kg

Explanation:  

Given:

Power = P = 1.2 × 10⁹ Watts

Power =  work done / Time

efficiency = 0.30

Input power = 1.2 × 10⁹ / 0.30 =  4  × 10⁹ W

Energy =  4  × 10⁹ x 60 x 60 = 1.44 x 10¹³ joules

E = m c² , where c is the speed of light and m is the mass.

⇒ mass = m = E / c²  = (1.44 x 10¹³) / (3 × 10⁸ )²

                                   = 0.00016 kg

A piece of aluminum has a volume of 1.50 10-3 m3. the coefficient of volume expansion for aluminum is β = 69 ✕ 10-6 (°c)-1. the
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

W = 3.12 J

Explanation:

Given the volume is 1.50*10^-3  m^3 and the coefficient of volume for aluminum is β = 69*10^-6 (°C)^-1. The temperature rises from 22°C to 320°C. The difference in temperature is 320 - 22 = 298°C, so ΔT = 298°C. To reiterate our known values we have:

β = 69*10^-6 (°C)^-1       V = 1.50*10^-3  m^3       ΔT = 298°C

So we can plug into the thermal expansion equation to find ΔV which is how much the volume expanded (I'll use d instead of Δ because of format):

dV = \beta V_{0} dT\\dV = (69*10^{-6})( C)^{-1} * (1.50*10^{-3})m^{3} * (298)C\\dV = 3.0843*10^-5

So ΔV = 3.0843*10^-5 m^3

Now we have ΔV, next we have to solve for the work done by thermal expansion. The air pressure is 1.01 * 10^5 Pa

To get work, multiply the air pressure and the volume change.

W = P * dV = (1.01 * 10^5)Pa * (3.0843*10^{-5})m^3\\W = 3.115143J

W = 3.12 J

Hope this helps!

A constant force of 8.0 N is exerted for 4.0 s on a 16-kg object initially at rest. The change in speed of this object will be:
AfilCa [17]

The change in speed of this object is 3m/s

According to Newton's second law;

F = ma

F = mv/t

Given the following parameters

Force F = 8.0N

mass m = 16kg

time t = 4.0s

Required

speed v

Substitute the given parameters into the formula

v = Ft/m

v = 8 * 6/16

v = 48/16

v = 3m/s

Hence the change in speed of this object is 3m/s
