Energy to lift something =
(mass of the object) x (gravity) x (height of the lift).
BUT ...
This simple formula only works if you use the right units.
Mass . . . kilograms
Gravity . . . meters/second²
Height . . . meters
For this question . . .
Mass = 55 megagram = 5.5 x 10⁷ grams = 5.5 x 10⁴ kilograms
Gravity (on Earth) = 9.8 m/second²
Height = 500 cm = 5.0 meters
So we have ...
Energy = (5.5 x 10⁴ kilogram) x (9.8 m/s²) x (5 m)
= 2,696,925 joules .
That's quite a large amount of energy ... equivalent to
straining at the rate of 1 horsepower for almost exactly an
hour, or burning a 100 watt light bulb for about 7-1/2 hours.
The reason is the large mass that's being lifted.
On Earth, that much mass weighs about 61 tons.
Using conservation of energy and momentum we get m1*v1=(m1+m2)*v2 so rearranging for v2 and plugging the given values in we get:
(200000kg*1.00m/s)/(21000kg)=.952m/s
Answer:
Explanation:
So, we are looking for an expression of the amount of water that has been drained from the tub. The expression is in terms of v that represent the number of gallons of water drained since the plug was pulled. Since we are interested in the pounds of water that has been drained from the tub we need to take into account that for every gallon of water drained, 8.345 pounds have left the tub. Therefore, the expression for the weight of water Q that has been drained from the tub in terms of v is simply :
Where v is the amount of gallons that has been drained from the tub.
Have a nice day. let me know if I can help with anything else
Answer: 110000
Explanation:
26/9=30.5555555556
30.5555555556 x 60=1833.33333333
110000 x 60=110000
Answer:
Explanation:
a )
hear energy required to melt 1 g of ice = 340 J ,
hear energy required to melt 80 g of ice = 340 x 80 J = 27220 J .
b ) energy gained by the melted ice ( water at O°C ) = m ct
where m is mass of water , s is specific heat and t is rise in temperature
= 80 x 4.2 x ( 8°C - 0°C)
= 2688 J .
c )
energy lost by lime juice = energy gained by ice and water
= 27220 J + 2688 J .
= 29908 J .
d )
Let specific heat required be S
Heat lost by lime juice = M S T
M is mass of lime juice , S is specific heat , T is decrease in temperature
= 320 g x S x ( 29 - 8 )°C
= 6720 S
For equilibrium
Heat lost = heat gained
6720 S = 29908 J
S = 4.45 J /g °C .
