Thermal energy is added to a sample, its particles move ?

1 answer:

4 0

Yes, if the temperature increases, than that means the particles are moving faster. Temperature is the measure of movement of particles in an object or substance.

By thermal energy, you mean adding heat correct....? I'm not very good at this sort of thing, but I gave you what I have..

A frictionless pulley used to lift 8000N of concrete. What is the minimum effort required to raise the block

rusak2 [61]

Answer: 8000N

Explanation: since it is frictionless that means it has 100% efficiency therefore the mechanical advantage is 1 meaning the load equals to the effort

Consider a uniform horizontal wooden board that acts as a pedestrian bridge. The bridge has a mass of 300 kg and a length of 10

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

F = 2123.33N

Explanation:

In order to calculate the torque applied by the left support, you take into account that the system is at equilibrium. Then, the resultant of the implied torques are zero.

$\Sigma \tau=0$

Next, you calculate the resultant of the torques around the right support, by taking into account that the torques are generated by the center of mass of the wooden, the person and the left support. Furthermore, you take into account that torques in a clockwise direction are negative and in counterclockwise are positive.

Then, you obtain the following formula:

$-\tau_l+\tau_p+\tau_{cm}=0$ (1)

τl: torque produced by the left support

τp: torque produced by the person

τcm: torque produced by the center of mass of the wooden

The torque is given by:

$\tau=Fd$ (2)

F: force applied

d: distance to the pivot of the torque, in this case, distance to the right support.

You replace the equation (2) into the equation (1) and take into account that the force applied by the person and the center of mass of the wood are the their weight:

$-Fd_1+W_pd_2+W_{cm}d_3=0\\\\d_1=6.0m\\\\d_2=2.0m\\\\d_3=3.0m\\\\W_p=(200kg)(9.8m/s^2)=1960N\\\\W_{cm}=(300kg)(9.8m/s^2)=2940N$

Where d1, d2 and d3 are distance to the right support.

You solve the equation for F and replace the values of the other parameters:

$F=\frac{W_pd_2+W_d_3}{d_1}=\frac{(1960N)(2.0m)+(2940N)(3.0m)}{6.0m}\\\\F=2123.33N$

The force applied by the left support is 2123.33 N

An astronaut finds herself in a predicament in which she has become untethered from her shuttle. She figures that she could get

Blizzard [7]

In order to solve the problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum, especially when there is an impact or the throwing of an object.

The equation that defines the linear moment is given by

$mV_i = (m-m_O)V_f - m_OV_O$

where,

m=Total mass

$m_O =$ Mass of Object

$V_i =$ Velocity before throwing

$V_f =$ Final Velocity

$V_O =$ Velocity of Object

Our values are:

$m_1=5.3kgm_2=7.9kg\\m_3=10.5kg\\m_A=75kg\\m_{Total}=m=98.7Kg$

Solving to find the final speed, after throwing the object we have

$V_f=\frac{mV_0+m_TV_O}{m-m_O}$

We have three objects. For each object a launch is made so the final mass (denominator) will begin to be subtracted successively. In addition, during each new launch the initial speed will be given for each object thrown again.

That way during each section the equations should be modified depending on the previous one, let's start:

A) $5.3Kg\rightarrow 15m/s$

$V_{f1}=\frac{mV_0+m_TV_O}{m-m_O}$

$V_{f1}=\frac{(98.7)*0+5.3*15}{98.7-5.3}$

$V_{f1}=0.8511m/s$

B) $7.9Kg\rightarrow 11.2m/s$

$V_{f2}=\frac{mV_{f1}+m_TV_O}{m-m_O}$

$V_{f2}=\frac{(98.7)(0.8511)+(7.9)(11.2)}{98.7-5.3-7.9}$

$V_{f2} = 2.0173m/s$

C) $10.5Kg\rightarrow 7m/s$

$V_{f3}=\frac{mV_{f2}+m_TV_O}{m-m_O}$

$V_{f3}=\frac{(98.7)(2.0173)+(10.5)(7)}{98.7-5.3-7.9-10.5}$

$V_{f3} = 3.63478m/s$

Therefore the final velocity of astronaut is 3.63m/s

A 5.92 g object moving to the right at 17.1 cm/s makes an elastic head-on collision with an 11.84 g object that is initially at

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

v₁f = -5.7 cm/s

Explanation:

Assuming no external forces acting during the collision, total momentum must be conserved, as follows:

$m_{1} * v_{10} = m_{1} *v_{1f} + m_{2} * v_{2f} (1)$

Rearranging terms, we have:

$m_{1} * (v_{10} - *v_{1f} ) = m_{2} * v_{2f} (2)$

We also know that the collision is elastic, so total kinetic energy must be conserved , as follows:

$\Delta K = 0 \\ \\ \frac{1}{2} * m_{1} *v_{10} ^{2} = \frac{1}{2}* m_{1} *v_{1f} ^{2} + \frac{1}{2}* m_{2} *v_{2f} ^{2} (3)$

Rearranging , and simplifying common terms, we have:

$m_{1}* (v_{10} ^{2} -v_{1f} ^{2} ) = m_{2} *v_{2f} ^{2} (4)$

Replacing by the givens, doing some algebra and dividing (4) by (2), we find the following relationship:

$v_{10} + v_{1f} = v_{2f}$

Replacing the expression above in (1), as m₂ = 2*m₁, we can find the value of v₁f, as follows:

$m_{1} * v_{10} = m_{1} * v_{1f} +2*m_{1} * (v_{10} + v_{1f})\\ \\ -(m_{1} * v_{10}) = 3* m_{1} *v_{1f} \\ \\ v_{1f} = - \frac{v_{10} }{3} = \frac{-17.1cm/s}{3} = -5.7 cm/s$

What is mantle convection?

Anna007 [38]

Mantle convection is the slow creeping motion of Earth's solid silicate mantle caused by convection currents carrying heat from the interior of the Earth to the surface.
