The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a substance by
is given by
where
m is the mass of the substance
Cs is its specific heat capacity
is the increase in temperature
For oxygen, the specific heat capacity is approximately
The variation of temperature for the sample in our problem is
while the mass is m=150 g, so the amount of heat needed is
Answer:
P = 33.6 [N]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.
∑F = m*a
where:
F = forces [N]
m = mass = 14 [kg]
a = acceleration = 6 [m/s²]
![F = 14*6\\F = 84 [N]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F%20%3D%2014%2A6%5C%5CF%20%3D%2084%20%5BN%5D)
In the second part of this problem we must find the work done, where the work in physics is known as the product of force by distance, it is important to make it clear that force must be applied in the direction of movement.
where:
W = work [J]
F = force = 84 [N]
d = displaciment = 40 [m]
![W = 84*40\\W = 3360 [J]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=W%20%3D%2084%2A40%5C%5CW%20%3D%203360%20%5BJ%5D)
Finally, the power can be calculated by the relationship between the work performed in a given time interval.
where:
P = power [W]
W = work = 3360 [J]
t = time = 100 [s]
Now replacing:
![P=3360/100\\P=33.6[W]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%3D3360%2F100%5C%5CP%3D33.6%5BW%5D)
The power is given in watts
I think the distance that should be used is the distance that one expects to be from the game you are hunting. Before taking a shotgun for a gobbler or even for ducks or other animals, you need to see how your gun performs by patterning it at various ranges with the load you want to use.
