Explanation:
Let us calculate the work done in lifting an object of mass m through a height h, such as in Figure 1. If the object is lifted straight up at constant speed, then the force needed to lift it is equal to its weight mg. The work done on the mass is then W = Fd = mgh. We define this to be the gravitational potential energy (PEg) put into (or gained by) the object-Earth system. This energy is associated with the state of separation between two objects that attract each other by the gravitational force
Potential energy is a property of a system rather than of a single object—due to its physical position. An object’s gravitational potential is due to its position relative to the surroundings within the Earth-object system. The force applied to the object is an external force, from outside the system. When it does positive work it increases the gravitational potential energy of the system. Because gravitational potential energy depends on relative position, we need a reference level at which to set the potential energy equal to 0. We usually choose this point to be Earth’s surface, but this point is arbitrary; what is important is the difference in gravitational potential energy, because this difference is what relates to the work done. The difference in gravitational potential energy of an object (in the Earth-object system) between two rungs of a ladder will be the same for the first two rungs as for the last two rungs.
Given:
Water, 2 kilograms
T1 = 20 degrees Celsius, T2 = 100
degrees Celsius.
Required:
Heat produced
Solution:
Q (heat) = nRT = nR(T2 = T1)
Q (heat) = 2 kilograms (4.184 kiloJoules
per kilogram Celsius) (100 degrees Celsius – 20 degrees Celsius)
<u>Q (heat) = 669.42 Joules
</u>This is the amount of heat
produced in boiling 2 kg of water.
I think you would use F = ma
F = 65*10
F = 650N
(The 10m/s is from acceleration due to gravity)
C) above, the Earth's core is about the melting point of iron.
Answer:
156.8 Watts
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Mass (m) = 10 kg
Height (h) = 8 m
Time (t) = 5 s
Power (P) =?
Next, we shall determine the energy used by the motor to raise the block. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass (m) = 10 kg
Height (h) = 8 m
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Energy (E) =?
E = mgh
E = 10 × 9. 8 × 8
E = 784 J
Finally, we shall determine the power output of the motor. This can be obtained as illustrated below:
Time (t) = 5 s
Energy (E) = 784 J
Power (P) =?
P = E/t
P = 784 / 5
P = 156.8 Watts
Therefore, the power output of the motor is 156.8 Watts
