Answer:
W = 9.6 N
Explanation:
Given that,
Area on 1 foot, A = 0.6 m²
Pressure, P = 16 Pa
The pressure is given by force acting per unit area. So,
So, the required weight is 9.6 N.
Answer:
0.00417 kW/K or 4.17 W/K
Second law is satisfied.
Explanation:
Parameters given:
Rate of heat transfer, Q = 2kW
Temperature of hot reservoir, Th = 800K
Temperature of cold reservoir, Tc = 300K
The rate of entropy change is given as:
ΔS = Q * [(1/Tc) - (1/Th)]
ΔS = 2 * (1/300 - 1/800)
ΔS = 2 * 0.002085
ΔS = 0.00417 kW/K or 4.17 W/K
Since ΔS is greater than 0, te the second law of thermodynamics is satisfied.
The type of friction of a kite suspended
in the sky that is flowing back and forth is fluid friction. The fluid here is
the air that helps the kite move back and forth. The kite feels a drag force
due to air which acts in the upward direction.
The heavy man will fall faster, because he has more mass and heavy things fall faster than light things
Answer: The specific heat capacity is very low.
Explanation:
The specific heat capacity of a body is defined as the heat energy required by a body to cause a unit change in its temperature. The value is over low that is why it is easier for the desert sand to easily get very hot during the day. Conversely, it is very easy for the desert sand to lose it's heat a cool breeze pass over it in the night making it very cold in the night. This value also defines how long the desert sand can retain heat. Therefore, the desert sand has a low specific heat capacity.
