Answer:

2100 J

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Force acting on the object, F = 420 N

Distance moved by object, d = 5m

The change in kinetic energy of an object is equal to the work done by a force acting on the object:

W = F * d

∆KE = F * d

∆KE = 420 * 5

∆KE = 2100 J

Answer:

∆KE = 2100 J

Explanation:

Given:

Force of person pushes against the wagon=  F = 420 N

Distance = d = 5.0 m

When you accelerate an object, you are doing work against inertia. It is proven that work equals the change in kinetic energy of the object.

therefore, W = ΔKE

where,

W is the work done against the resistance of inertia

ΔKE is the change in kinetic energy (Δ is Greek letter capital delta)

Also, W = F x d

∴∆KE = F x d

∆KE = 420 x 5

∆KE = 2100 J

The change in kinetic energy for the wagon is 2100 J

1. How much energy would be required to melt 450 grams of ice at 0°C?
xenn [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. The amount of heat needed to melt ice at 0°C is equal to the mass of the ice times the latent heat of fusion.

q = mL

q = (450 g) (334 J/g)

q = 150,300 J

q = 150 kJ

2. The amount of heat released by the condensation of steam at 100°C is equal to the mass of the steam times the latent heat of vaporization.

q = mL

q = (325 g) (2260 J/g)

q = 734,500 J

q = 735 kJ

3. q = mL

q = (85 g) (2260 J/g)

q = 192,100 J

q = 190 kJ

4. q = mL

q = (225 g) (334 J/g)

q = 75,150 J

q = 75.2 kJ

5. Above 100°C, water is steam.  The amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of steam is equal to its mass times its specific heat times the change in temperature.

q = mCΔT

q = (20.0 g) (2.03 J/g/°C) (303.0°C − 283.0°C)

q = 812 J

6. q = mCΔT

q = (15.0 g) (2.03 J/g/°C) (250.0°C − 275.0°C)

q = -761 J

7. q = mCΔT

q = (10.0 g) (0.90 J/g/°C) (55°C − 22°C)

q = 297 J

8. q = mCΔT

198 J = (55.0 g) C (15°C)

C = 0.24 J/g/°C

9. q = mCΔT

41,840 J = m (4.184 J/g/°C) (28.5°C − 22.0°C)

m = 1540 g

10. q = mCΔT

q = (193 g) (2.46 J/g/°C) (35°C − 19°C)

q = 7600 J

11. First, the temperature of the ice must be raised to 0°C.

q = mCΔT

q = m (2.09 J/g/°C) (0°C − (-23.0°C))

q/m = 48.1 J/g

Next, the ice must be melted.

q = mL

q/m = 334 J/g

Then, the water must be heated to 100°C.

q = mCΔT

q = m (4.184 J/g/°C) (100°C − 0°C)

q/m = 418.4 J/g

The water is then vaporized.

q = mL

q/m = 2260 J/g

Finally, the steam is heated to its final temperature.

q = mCΔT

q = m (2.03 J/g/°C) (118°C − 100°C)

q/m = 36.5 J/g

So the total amount of energy needed is:

q/m = 48.1 J/g + 334 J/g + 418.4 J/g + 2260 J/g + 36.5 J/g

q/m = 3100 J/g

How do you identify short and long term comets
erica [24]
A second important difference between comets coming from the Kuiper Belt and from the Oort cloud is represented by their different characteristic periods.
In fact, short period comets are thought to generate in the Kuiper belt and have rather predictable orbits with short periods (up to 200 years). There are two major families of short period comets: the Jupiter family with periods of less than 20 years and the Halley family with periods form 20 to 200 years. That's short

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

45000 kg and 45 tons  

Explanation:

The expression in kilograms and tons is shown below;

As we know that

1 gr is 0.001 kg

So, 45000000 = 45,000 kg

And,

1 kg = 0.001 tons  

So, 45000 kg = 45 tons    

Therefore the same would be considered
