Is it possible to do work on an object without changing the kinetic energy of the object? Now Why?

Physics

Murrr4er [49]3 years ago

Answer:

(a) Yes, it is possible by raising the object to a greater height without acceleration.

Explanation:

The work-energy theorem states that work done on an object is equal to the change in kinetic energy, and change in  kinetic energy requires a change in velocity.

If kinetic energy will not change, then velocity will not change, this means that there will be constant velocity and an object with a constant velocity is not accelerating.

If the object is not accelerating (without acceleration) and it remains at the same height (change in height = 0, and mgh = 0).

Thus, for work to be done on the object, without changing the kinetic energy of the object, the object must be raised  to a greater height without acceleration.

Correct option is " (a) Yes, it is possible by raising the object to a greater height without acceleration".

We can expect the force of friction to be greater for an object moving on a surface if the surfaces in contact are

Answer:

c

Explanation:

Friction is caused by how rough and object is, and how much the object weighs, as this causes it to drag more.

An airplane of mass 1.60 ✕ 104 kg is moving at 66.0 m/s. The pilot then increases the engine's thrust to 7.70 ✕ 104 N. The resis

(a) No, because the mechanical energy is not conserved

Explanation:

The work-energy theorem states that the work done by the engine on the airplane is equal to the gain in kinetic energy of the plane:

W=\Delta K (1)

However, this theorem is only valid if there are no non-conservative forces acting on the plane. However, in this case there is air resistance acting on the plane: this means that the work-energy theorem is no longer valid, because the mechanical energy is not conserved.

Therefore, eq. (1) can be rewritten as

W=\Delta K + E_{lost}

which means that the work done by the engine (W) is used partially to increase the kinetic energy of the airplane (\Delta K) and part is lost because of the air resistance (E_{lost}).

(b) 77.8 m/s

First of all, we need to calculate the net force acting on the plane, which is equal to the difference between the thrust force and the air resistance:

F=7.70\cdot 10^4 N - 5.00 \cdot 10^4 N=2.70\cdot 10^4 N

Now we can calculate the acceleration of the plane, by using Newton's second law:

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{2.70\cdot 10^4 N}{1.60\cdot 10^4 kg}=1.69 m/s^2

where m is the mass of the plane.

Finally, we can calculate the final speed of the plane by using the equation:

v^2- u^2 = 2aS

where

v=? is the final velocity

u=66.0 m/s is the initial velocity

a=1.69 m/s^2 is the acceleration

S=5.00 \cdot 10^2 m is the distance travelled

Solving for v, we find

v=\sqrt{u^2+2aS}=\sqrt{(66.0 m/s)^2+2(1.69 m/s^2)(5.00\cdot 10^2 m)}=77.8 m/s

If a volume of air is warmed, it expands and tends to
Butoxors [25]

if a volume of air is warmed it expands due to increased translational kinetic energy as it expands it will start to cool.

<h3>When does temperature increase volume?</h3>

We can then conclude that at constant pressure, temperature and volume are directly proportional: temperature increases, volume increases; decrease temperature, decrease volume.

In this case, the higher the temperature, the greater the kinetic energy that acts on the molecules of this gas, so when the gas expands, these molecules find more space and collide less, which will cause the gas to cool.

oscillating spring mass systems can be used to experimentally determine an unknown mass without using a mass balance. a student
puteri [66]

Answer:

Mass, m = 6.18 kg

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Frequency, F = 10 Hz

Spring constant, k = 250 N/m

We know that pie, π = 22/7

To find the mass, we would use the following formula;

F = 1/2π√(k/m)

Where;

F is the frequency of oscillation.

k is the spring constant.

m is the mass of the spring.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

10 = 1/2 * 22/7 * √250/m

10 = 22/14 * √250/m

Cross-multiplying, we have;

140 = 22 * √250/m

Dividing both sides by 22, we have;

140/22 = √250/m

6.36 = √250/m

Taking the square of both sides, we have;

6.36² = (√250/m)²

40.45 = 250/m

Cross-multiplying, we have;

40.45m = 250

Mass, m = 250/40.45

Mass, m = 6.18 kg
