Answer:

Thermal = 0.48 W

Explanation:

Given:

- The complete question is:

" Starting from rest, a 0.0367-kilogram steel ball sinks into a vat of corn syrup. The thick syrup exerts a viscous drag force that is proportional to the ball's velocity: where C = 0.270 N- s/m is a constant related to the size and composition of the ball as well as the viscosity of the syrup. Find the rate at which gravitational energy is converted to thermal energy once the ball reaches terminal velocity. After the ball reaches terminal velocity its kinetic energy is constant Any further work done by gravity is therefore directly transferred to the syrup and ball as thermal energy The rate at which the energy is converted is the power supplied by gravity: where F is the force, v is the speed of the ball and B is the relative angle between the force and velocity vectors. The terminal velocity of the ball can be determined from the given information using Newton's Laws. "

Solution:

- Once the terminal velocity Vt of the body is reached, it begins to move downward  at constant speed. The drag force Fd then attains a constant value:

                                         Fd = - C • Vt

- Instant the rate of conversion of gravitational potential energy to thermal  energy becomes equal to the power dissipated by the drag force at the terminal  velocity is given by:

                                        Fd • Vt = - C • Vt ²

- To get the general velocity V , solve the equation of motion:

                                        mv' = -m*g - C*V

                                        v' = -g - [C/ m] * V

Where,

                                        v' = dv / dt

                                        dv / dt =  -g - [C/ m] * V

- We will denote [C/ m]  as constant B:

                                        dv / dt =  -B*[ g/B +  V ]

- Separate variables:

                                        dv / [ g/B +  V ]  =  -B*dt

- Integrate both sides:

                                        Ln | g/B +  V | = -B*t + C

                                        g/B +  V = C*e^( -B*t )

                                        V = C*e^( -B*t ) - g/B

- The above expression for velocity gives the velocity of the steel ball at any time t. We know that terminal velocity Vt is achieved when t - > ∞. Then we have:

                                       Vt = 0 - g/B = -m*g/C

- Then from power equation we have:

                                        P = - C*Vt^2

                                        P = -C ( -m*g/C )^2

                                        P = -(mg)^2 / C

                                        P = -(0.0367*9.81)^2 / 0.27

                                        P = - 0.48 W

- The rate at which gravitational energy is lost to surrounding gives rise to thermal energy of surrounding fluid Thermal = 0.48 W .

Me ajudem, Por favor!!!!!!
zzz [600]

Answer:

a)  a=4\,\frac{m}{s^2}

b)  V(t)=4\,t\,+3

c)  V(1)=7 \,\frac{m}{s} \\

d)  Displacement = 22 m

e)  Average speed = 11 m/s

Explanation:

a)

Notice that the acceleration is the derivative of the velocity function, which in this case, being a straight line is constant everywhere, and which can be calculated as:

slope= \frac{15=3}{3-0} =4\,\frac{m}{s^2}

Therefore,  acceleration is a=4\,\frac{m}{s^2}

b) the functional expression for this line of slope 4 that passes through a y-intercept at (0, 3) is given by:

y=m\,x+b\\V(t)=4\,t\,+3

c) Since we know the general formula for the velocity, now we can estimate it at any value for 't", for example for the requested t = 1 second:

V(t)= 4\,t+3\\V(1)=4\,(1)+3\\V(1)=7 \,\frac{m}{s}

d) The displacement between times t = 1 sec, and t = 3 seconds is given by the area under the velocity curve between these two time values. Since we have a simple trapezoid, we can calculate it directly using geometry and evaluating V(3) (we already know V(1)):

Displacement = \frac{(7+15)\,2}{2} = 22\,\,m

e) Recall that the average of a function between two values is the integral (area under the curve) divided by the length of the interval:

Average velocity = \frac{22}{2} = 11\, \,\frac{m}{s}

When did ernest rutherford make his discovery
oee [108]

Answer:

1911

Explanation:

"In 1911, he was the first to discover that atoms have a small charged nucleus surrounded by largely empty space, and are circled by tiny electrons, which became known as the Rutherford model (or planetary model) of the atom."

A 6.60-kg block slides with an initial speed of 1.56 m/s up a ramp inclined at an angle of 28.4° with the horizontal. The coeffi
Vlad [161]

Answer:

The distance travel by block before coming to rest is 0.122 m

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of block m = 6.60 kg

Initial speed of block v _{i} = 1.56 \frac{m}{s}

Final speed of block v_{f} = 0 \frac{m}{s}

Coefficient of kinetic friction \mu _{k} = 0.62

Ramp inclined at angle \theta = 28.4°

Using conservation of energy,

Work done by frictional force is equal to change in energy,

  \mu _{k} mgd \cos 28.4 =  \Delta K - \Delta U

Where \Delta U = mg d\sin 28.4

\mu _{k} mgd \cos 28.4 =  \frac{1}{2}mv_{i} ^{2} - mgd\sin 28.4

\mu _{k} mgd \cos 28.4 +mgd\sin 28.4  =  \frac{1}{2}mv_{i} ^{2}

d(6.60 \times 9.8 \times 0.62 \times 0.879 + 6.60 \times 9.8 \times 0.475) = \frac{1}{2} \times 6.60 \times (1.56)^{2}

 d = 0.122 m

Therefore, the distance travel by block before coming to rest is 0.122 m

Which occurs when two or more waves combine to produce a wave with a larger displacement?
Dimas [21]

When two or more waves combine to produce a new wave, that's 'interference'.

-- If the new wave has larger displacements (amplitude), then it's <em>CON</em>structive interference.

-- If the new wave has smaller displacements (amplitude), then it's DEstructive interference.
