Answer:

Total energy is constant

Explanation:

The laws of thermodynamics state that thermal energy (heat) is always transferred from a hot body (higher temperature) to a cold body (lower temperature).

This is because in a hot body, the molecules on average have more kinetic energy (they move faster), so by colliding with the molecules of the cold body, they transfer part of their energy to them. So, the temperature of the hot body decreases, while the temperature of the cold body increases.

This process ends when the two bodies reach the same temperature: we talk about thermal equilibrium.

In this problem therefore, this means that the thermal energy is transferred from the hot water to the cold water.

However, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant: therefore here, if we consider the hot water + cold water as an isolated system (no exchange of energy with the surroundings), this means that their total energy remains constant.

The length of the track itself is 500m. The vehicles (each of mass 15kg) are dragged
gogolik [260]

Answer:

W = 100000 J = 100 KJ

Explanation:

Here we will use the most basic and general formula of work, which is as follows:

W = Fd

where,

W = Work Done = ?

F = Force Required = 200 N

d = Length of Track = 500 m

Therefore,

W = (200\ N)(500\ m)\\

<u>W = 100000 J = 100 KJ</u>

For a freely falling object weighing 3 kg : A. what is the object's velocity 2 s after it's release. B. What is the kinetic ener
Fed [463]

A) 19.6 m/s (downward)

B) 576 J

C) 19.6 m

D) Velocity: not affected, kinetic energy: doubles, distance: not affected

Explanation:

A)

An object in free fall is acted upon one force only, which is the force of gravity.

Therefore, the motion of an object in free fall is a uniformly accelerated motion (constant acceleration). Therefore, we can find its velocity by applying the following suvat equation:

v=u+at

where:

v is the velocity at time t

u is the initial velocity

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

For the object in this problem, taking downward as positive direction, we have:

u=0 (the object starts from rest)

a=9.8 m/s^2

Therefore, the velocity after

t = 2 s

is:

v=0+(9.8)(2)=19.6 m/s (downward)

B)

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its motion.

It can be calculated using the equation:

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the speed of the object

For the object in the problem, at t = 2 s, we have:

m = 3 kg (mass of the object)

v = 19.6 m/s (speed of the object)

Therefore, its kinetic energy is:

KE=\frac{1}{2}(3)(19.6)^2=576 J

C)

In order to find how far the object has fallen, we can use another suvat equation for uniformly accelerated motion:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s is the distance covered

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

For the object in free fall in this problem, we have:

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration of gravity)

t = 2 s (time)

Therefore, the distance covered is

s=0+\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(2)^2=19.6 m

D)

Here the mass of the object has been doubled, so now it is

M = 6 kg

For part A) (final velocity of the object), we notice that the equation that we use to find the velocity does not depend at all on the mass of the object. This means that the value of the final velocity is not affected.

For part B) (kinetic energy), we notice that the kinetic energy depends on the mass, so in this case this value has changed.

The new kinetic energy is

KE'=\frac{1}{2}Mv^2

where

M = 6 kg is the new mass

v = 19.6 m/s is the speed

Substituting,

KE'=\frac{1}{2}(6)(19.6)^2=1152 J

And we see that this value is twice the value calculated in part A: so, the kinetic energy has doubled.

Finally, for part c) (distance covered), we see that its equation does not depend on the mass, therefore this value is not affected.
