A 2000 kg truck traveling north at 34 km/h turns east and accelerates to 58 km/h. (a) What is the change in the truck's kinetic

energy? (b) What is the magnitude of the change in its momentum?

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the truck, m = 2000 kg

Initial velocity of the truck, u = 34 km/h = 9.44 m/s

Final velocity of the truck, v = 58 km/h = 16.11 m/s

(a) Change in truck's kinetic energy, \Delta E=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)

\Delta E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2000\ kg\times (16.11^2-9.44^2)

\Delta E=170418.5\ J

\Delta E=1.7\times 10^5\ J

(b) Change in momentum of the truck, \Delta p=m(v-u)

\Delta p=2000\ kg\times (16.11-9.44)

\Delta p=13340\ kg-m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

The silver coating on the inner bottle prevents heat transfer by radiation, and the vacuum between its double wall prevents heat moving by convection. The thinness of the glass walls stops heat entering or leaving the flask by conduction.

A refrigerator is used to cool water from 23°C to 5°C in a continuous manner. The heat rejected in the condenser is 570 kJ/min a
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer: Q=5.46 L/s

COP=2.58

Explanation:

Given that

Cp = 4.18 kJ/(kg.C

density  = 1 kg/L

Heat rejected Qr= 570 kJ/min

Power in put W= 2.65 KW

From first law of thermodynamics

U = W+ q

q = Heat absorbed

U = internal energy

W = workdone

U = 570 kJ/min  = 9.5 KW

9.5 = 2.65 + q

q = 6.85 KW

COP = q/W

COP = 6.58 / 2.65

COP=2.58

Lets take volume flow rate is Q

So mass flow rate of water m = ρ Q

q = m Cp ΔT

6.85 = 1 x Q x 4.18 ( 23-5)

Q=0.091 L/min

Q=5.46 L/s

A pendulum has 918 J of potential energy at the highest point of a swing. How much kinetic energy will it have at the bottom of
GREYUIT [131]

The kinetic energy at the bottom of the swing is also 918 J.

Assume the origin of the coordinate system to be at the lowest point of the pendulum's swing. A pendulum, when raised to the highest point has potential energy since it is raised to a height h above the origin. At the highest point, the pendulum's velocity becomes zero, hence it has no kinetic energy. Its energy at the highest point is wholly potential.

When the pendulum swings down from its highest position, it gains velocity. Hence a part of its potential energy begins to convert itself into kinetic energy. If no dissipative forces such as air resistance exist, then, the law of conservation of energy can be applied to the swing.

Under the action of conservative forces, the total mechanical energy of a system remains constant.This means that the sum of the potential and kinetic energies of a body remains constant.

When the pendulum reaches the lowest point of its swing, it is at the origin of the chosen coordinate system. Its vertical displacement from the origin is zero, hence its potential energy with respect to the origin is zero. Therefore the entire potential energy of 918 J should have been converted into kinetic energy, according to the law of conservation of energy.

Thus, the kinetic energy of the pendulum at the lowest point of its swing is equal to the potential energy it had at its highest point, which is equal to <u>918 J.</u>
