What is the difference between heat temperature and thermal energy?

1 answer:

4 0

Well Thermal energy is an example of kinetic energy, as it is due to the motion of particles, with motion being the key. Thermal energy results in an object or a system having a temperature that can be measured. Thermal energy can be transferred from one object or system to another in the form of heat. While Heat energy (or thermal energy or simply heat) is defined as a form of energy which transfers among particles in a substance (or system) by means of kinetic energy of those particles. In other words, under kinetic theory, the heat is transferred by particles bouncing into each other.

A 0.50-kg ball, attached to the end of a horizontal cord, is rotated in a circle of radius 1.9 m on a frictionless horizontal su

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 18 \ m/s}}$

Explanation:

The ball is moving in a circle, so the force is centripetal.

One formula for calculating centripetal force is:

$F_c= \frac{mv^2}r}$

The mass of the ball is 0.5 kilograms. The radius is 1.9 meters. The centripetal force is 85 Newtons or 85 kg*m/s².

$F_c$ = 85 kg*m/s²
m= 0.5 kg
r= 1.9 m

Substitute the values into the formula.

$85 \ kg*m/s^2 = \frac{0.5 \ kg *v^2}{1.9 \ m}$

Isolate the variable v. First, multiply both sides by 1.9 meters.

$(1.9 \ m)(85 \ kg*m/s^2) = \frac{0.5 \ kg *v^2}{1.9 \ m}*1.9 \ m$

$(1.9 \ m)(85 \ kg*m/s^2) = {0.5 \ kg *v^2}$

$161.5 \ kg*m^2/s^2 = 0.5 \ kg*v^2$

Divide both sides by 0.5 kilograms.

$\frac {161.5 \ kg*m^2/s^2}{0.5 \ kg} = \frac{0.5 \ kg*v^2}{0.5 \ kg}$

$\frac {161.5 \ kg*m^2/s^2}{0.5 \ kg} =v^2$

$323 \ m^2/s^2 = v^2$

Take the square root of both sides of the equation.

$\sqrt {323 \ m^2/s^2} =\sqrt{ v^2$

$\sqrt {323 \ m^2/s^2} =v$

$17.9722007556 \ m/s =v$

The original measurements have 2 significant figures, so our answer must have the same.

For the number we found, 2 sig fig is the ones place. The 9 in the tenth place tells us to round the 7 to an 8.

$18 \ m/s =v$

The maximum speed is approximately 18 meters per second.

You are riding in an elevator that is accelerating upward. Suppose you stand on a scale. The reading on the scale is __________.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

greater than your true weight

Explanation:

When going up in an elevator the acceleration of the elevator is added to the acceleration due to gravity. This will increase the reading on the scale.

The expression of the resultant weight will be

$N=m(a+g)$

where,

m = Mass of the person

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

a = Acceleration of the elevator.

Hence, the reading on the scale is greater than your true weight.

The small ball of mass m = 0.5 kg is attached to point A via string and is moving at constant speed in a horizontal circle of ra

babymother [125]

Answer:

d = 2.45 meters

Explanation:

Mass of the ball, m = 0.5 kg

Radius of the circle, r = 0.16 m

The angular speed of the ball around the circle is, $\omega=2\ rad/s$

The attached figure shows the whole scenario. Let $F_t$ is the force acting on the ball in tangential direction. The forces will balanced each other at equilibrium.

In horizontal direction,

$T\ sin\theta=F_t=mr\omega^2$ ................(1)

In vertical direction,

$T\ cos\theta=mg$ ...............(2)

From equation (1) and (2) :

$tan\theta=\dfrac{r\omega^2}{g}$

Also,

$tan\theta=\dfrac{r}{d}$

$d=\dfrac{g}{\omega^2}$ $d=\dfrac{9.8}{2^2}$

d = 2.45 meters

So, the value of d is 2.45 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
