A box is being pushed from the left with a force of 5 N. No force is being applied from the right.
1 answer:
Answer:
The box will move to the right with increasing speed
Explanation:
According to Newton's second law:
(1)
where
F is the net force on an object
m is the mass of the object
a is its acceleration
For the box in this problem, there is only one force acting on it: a force of 5 N from the left (so, to the right). This means that according to (1) the box will experience an acceleration: the direction of the acceleration is the same as the direction of the net force (so, to the right), therefore the box will move to the right and its speed will continue increasing due to fact that it is being accelerated.

Answer:
a) the work (W) done during the process is -2043.25 kJ
b) the work (W) done during the process is -2418.96 kJ
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
mass of water vapor m = 10 kg
initial pressure P₁ = 550 kPa
Initial temperature T₁ = 340 °C
steam cooled at constant pressure until 60 percent of it, by mass, condenses; x = 100% - 60% = 40% = 0.4
from superheated steam table
specific volume v₁ = 0.5092 m³/kg
so the properties of steam at p₂ = 550 kPa, and dryness fraction
x = 0.4
specific volume v₂ = v + xv
v₂ = 0.001097 + 0.4( 0.34261 - 0.001097 )
v₂ = 0.1377 m³/kg
Now, work done during the process;
W = mP₁( v₂ - v₁ )
W = 10 × 550( 0.1377 - 0.5092 )
W = 5500 × -0.3715
W = -2043.25 kJ
Therefore, the work (W) done during the process is -2043.25 kJ
( The negative, indicates work is done on the system )
b)
What would the work done be if steam were cooled at constant pressure until 80 percent of it, by mass, condenses
x₂ = 100% - 80% = 20% = 0.2
specific volume v₂ = v + x₂v
v₂ = 0.001097 + 0.2( 0.34261 - 0.001097 )
v₂ = 0.06939 m³/kg
Now, work done during the process will be;
W = mP₁( v₂ - v₁ )
W = 10 × 550( 0.06939 - 0.5092 )
W = 5500 × -0.43981
W = -2418.96 kJ
Therefore, the work (W) done during the process is -2418.96 kJ
