The transparent film laminated to a fabric is identified in the study material as PVC. PVC or polyvinyl chloride is a type of synthetic resin. For fabric, PVC on fabric is typically plastic-coated polyester, and is more resistant to wear and tear than others.
First example: book, m= 0.75 kg, h=1.5 m, g= 9.8 m/s², it has only potential energy Ep,
Ep=m*g*h=0.75*9.8*1.5=11.025 J
Second example: brick, m=2.5 kg, v=10 m/s, h=4 m, it has potential energy Ep and kinetic energy Ek,
E=Ep+Ek=m*g*h + (1/2)*m*v²=98 J + 125 J= 223 J
Third example: ball, m=0.25 kg, v= 10 m/s, it has only kinetic energy Ek
Ek=(1/2)*m*v²=12.5 J.
Fourth example: stone, m=0.7 kg, h=7 m, it has only potential energy Ep,
Ep=m*g*h=0.7*9.8*7=48.02 J
The order of examples starting with the lowest energy:
1. book, 2. ball, 3. stone, 4. brick
Explanation:
Since, it is mentioned the there occurs no change in the temperature. This also means that there will occur no change in thermal energy of the system.
Hence, = 0. And, as = 0 then there will be no work involved. This means that total energy added to the house will return to the outside air as heat.
Therefore,
Q = -(19000 J + 2000 J)
= -21000 J
or, |Q| = 21000 J
Thus, we can conclude that the magnitude of the energy transfer between the house and the outside air is 21000 J.
