Answer:

W = 725 J

Explanation:

given,

mass of wagon = 20 kg

distance of pull = 40 m

angle made with the horizontal = 25°

tension force on the wagon = 20 N

Work done = ?

Horizontal component of the force will help in movement of the wagon.

Horizontal component of force=

F_x = F cos θ

Work done is equal to force into displacement

W = F.s

W =  F cos θ.s

W = 20 cos 25° x 40

W = 725 J

hence, work done on pulling the wagon is equal to W = 725 J

A real gas will behave most like an ideal gas under conditions of ________.
KengaRu [80]

Answer: high temperature and low pressure

Explanation:

The Ideal Gas equation is:  

P.V=n.R.T  

Where:  

P is the pressure of the gas  

V is the volume of the gas

n the number of moles of gas  

R=0.0821\frac{L.atm}{mol.K} is the gas constant  

T is the absolute temperature of the gas in Kelvin

According to this law, molecules in gaseous state do not exert any force among them (attraction or repulsion) and the volume of these molecules is small, therefore negligible in comparison with the volume of the container that contains them.  

Now, real gases can behave approximately to an ideal gas, under the conditions described above and taking into account the following:  

When <u>temperature is high</u> a real gas approximates to ideal gas, because the molecules move quickly, preventing the repulsion or attraction forces to take effect.  In addition, at <u>low pressures</u>, the volume of molecules is negligible.

Energy transformations when you cook sausages on a campfire burning wood
Rina8888 [55]

<span>Actually in this case heat energy is being transferred. Heat energy or thermal energy is transferred from the burning of wood to the sausages for it to be cooked. The sausage is being heated by the fire and is absorbing the heat or thermal energy.</span>
