A 60 kg student is standing atop a spring in an elevator that is accelerating upward at 3.0 m/s2. The spring constant is 2.5 x 1

03 N/m. By how much is the spring compressed?
Physics

the spring will be compressed by 0.3072 m

Explanation:

acceleration of elevator=3 m/s²

mass of student= 60 Kg

spring constant=2.5 x 10³ N/m

the force on the student is given by F = m ( g +a)

F=60 (9.8+3)

F=768 N

now the formula for spring force is given by

F= k x

768= 2.5 x 10³ (x)

x=0.3072 m

Can physics measure the work a porter does? What do you need to know to measure a porters work? What produces work, and how is p
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

According to physics, the work done by porter is zero but in reality porter gets tired as muscular energy is being used up.

In physics, work is the dot product of force and displacement. when the porter moves with the luggage, the weight act downwards while the porter moves forward. The angle between force and displacement is 90°. Thus, work done by the porter is zero.

The muscles are doing work in this case which is not calculated in physics.

Power is the rate of energy consumed during the work.

A cup containing 200 g of hot water is taken off the stove placed on the kitchen table. Initially the water is at 75Degree C. bu
8090 [49]

Answer:

ΔH = -45.1872 kJ , where negative sign signifies heat loss.

Q = ΔH = -45.1872 kJ  , where negative sign signifies heat loss.

S system = -0.141 kJ/K

S surroundings = 0.1536 kJ/K

S universe = -0.141 kJ/K + 0.1536 kJ/K  = 0.0126 kJ/K

Explanation:

Given:

Cp = 4. 184 J/(mole. K)

T₁ = 75 ⁰C

T₂ = 21 ⁰C

Mass of water = 200 g = 0.2 kg

Since,

\Delta H=m\times C\times (T_f-T_i)

ΔH = 0.2*4.184*(21-75)  kJ

<u> ΔH = -45.1872 kJ , where negative sign signifies heat loss.</u>

Since the process is at constant pressure

<u> Q = ΔH = -45.1872 kJ  , where negative sign signifies heat loss.</u>

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

T₁ = 75 ⁰C = 348 .15 K

T₂ = 21 ⁰C = 294.15 K

The entropy of the water is given by:

<u> S = m×Cp×ln(T₂ /T₁) </u>

S = 0.2*4.184*ln(294.15/348.15)

<u> S system = -0.141 kJ/K</u>

The heat gain by surroundings

<u> dQ = -Qreaction =  45.1872 kJ </u>

The entropy change of surroundings is

S surr = dQ/T₂ = 45.1872/294 .15

<u> S surr = 0.1536 kJ/K </u>

The entropy of universe  is the sum total of the entropy of the system and the surroundings and thus,

S universe = Ssys + Ssurr

<u> S universe = -0.141 kJ/K + 0.1536 kJ/K  = 0.0126 kJ/K</u>
