A) +5 J

B) +1 J

Explanation:

A)

The internal forces (interaction forces) acting on a system do not change the mechanical energy (sum of potential and kinetic energy) of the system.

However, these forces are responsible for converting the energy from one form into another; the work done by these forces is equal to the amount of energy converted from one form into the other.

In this problem, we have:

\Delta U=-5 J is the loss in potential energy of the system

\Delta K=+6 J is the gain in kinetic energy of the system

By looking at these numbers, this means that the internal forces have converted 5 J of energy from potential energy into kinetic energy (while the additional +1 J missing is due to external forces, as explained in part B).

Therefore, the work done by internal forces is

W = +5 J

B)

First of all, we calculate the change in mechanical energy of the system.

The mechanical energy of a system is the sum of its kinetic energy (K) and its potential energy (U):

E=K+U

So, the change in mechanical energy is equal to the sum of the changes of kinetic energy and the changes of potential energy:

\Delta E= \Delta K + \Delta U

In this problem:

\Delta K=+6 J

\Delta U=-5 J

So, the change in mechanical energy is:

\Delta E=+6+(-5)=+1 J

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done by external forces on a system is equal to the change in mechanical energy of the system: therefore in this case, the work done by external forces is

W=\Delta E=+1 J

Stars within the halo move in random orbits that extend above and below the disk of the galaxy, while stars in the disk move in
Blizzard [7]
<span>Answer: Spherical Distribution Feedback: Correct The stars in the halo component have highly-inclined random orbits that orbit the center of our Galaxy. The stars within the halo would therefore make up a spherical distribution of stars surrounding the center of the Galaxy. In comparison, the disk stars move in elliptical orbits, which are nearly circular and are confined to the disk of the Galaxy. Disk stars therefore have very small inclinations and do not move above or below the plane of the Galactic disk.</span>

2.0 mol of monatomic gas A initially has 5000 J of thermal energy. It interacts with 3.0 mol of monatomic gas B, which initially
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

 E_particle = 1,129 10⁻²⁰ J / particle

  T= 817.5 K

Explanation:

Energy is a scalar quantity so it is additive, let's look for the total energy of each gas

Gas a

         E_a = 2 5000 = 10000 J

Gas b

         E_b = 3 8000 = 24000 J

When the total system energy is mixed it is

          E_total = E_a + E_b

          E_total = 10000 + 24000 = 34000

The total mass is

           M = m_a + m_b

           M = 2 +3 = 5

The average energy among the entire mass is

           E_averge = E_total / M

            E_averago = 34000/5

            E_average = 6800 J

One mole of matter has Avogadro's number of atoms 6,022 10²³ particles

Therefore, each particle has an energy of

                E_particle = E_averag / 6.022 10²³ = 6800 /6.022 10²³

                E_particle = 1,129 10⁻²⁰ J / particle

For  find the temperature let's use equation

               E = kT

               T = E / k

     

               T = 1,129 10⁻²⁰ / 1,381 10⁻²³

               T = 8.175 102 K

               T= 817.5 K

A 52 N sled is pulled across a cement sidewalk at constant speed. A horizontal force of 36 N is exerted. What is the coefficient
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

μ = 0.692

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must make a free body diagram and include the respective forces acting on the body. Similarly, deduce the respective equations according to the conditions of the problem and the directions of the forces.

Attached is an image with the respective forces:

A summation of forces on the Y-axis is performed equal to zero, in order to determine the normal force N. this summation is equal to zero since there is no movement on the Y-axis.

Since the body moves at a constant speed, there is no acceleration so the sum of forces on the X-axis must be equal to zero.

The frictional force is defined as the product of the coefficient of friction by the normal force. In this way, we can calculate the coefficient of friction.

The process of solving this problem can be seen in the attached image.
