Which form of the law of conservation of energy describes the motion of the block when it slides from the top of the table to th

Mnenie [13.5K]3 years ago

By definition we have that the energy at the top of the ramp is equal to the energy at the bottom of the ramp. This is due to the principle of energy conservation.

We have then:

E1 = E2

The energy at the top is only potential energy:

E1 = mgh

Where,

  • <em>m: mass </em>
  • <em>g: acceleration of gravity </em>
  • <em>h: vertical height of the ramp </em>

The energy when it falls is transformed into kinetic energy and therefore:

E2 = \frac {1} {2} mv ^ 2

Where,

  • <em>v: object speed. </em>

Therefore we have:

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

Answer:

The potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.

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

A spacecraft is fueled using hydrazine (N2H4; molecular weight of 32 grams per mole [g/mol]) and carries 1640 kilograms [kg] of
Sauron [17]

Answer:

The value is t = 689.029 \  hours

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The molar mass of hydrazine is Z =  32 g/mol = \frac{32}{1000} = 0.032 \  kg/mol

The initial temperature is T_i  =  -186 ^o F = (-186-32) *\frac{5}{9} +273.15 = 152\ K

The final temperature is T_f  =  78 ^o F = (78-32) *\frac{5}{9} +273.15 = 298.7 \ K

The specific heat capacity is c_h  =  0.099 [kJ/(mol K)] = 0.099 *10^3 J/(mol/K)

The power available is P = 300 \ W

The mass of the fuel is m =   1640 \  kg

Generally the number of moles of hydrazine present is

n  =  \frac{m}{Z}

=> n  =  \frac{1640}{= 0.032}

=> n  =  51250 \ mol

Generally the quantity of heat energy needed is mathematically represented as

Q =  n * c_h * (T_f -T_i)

=> Q =  51250  * 0.099 *10^3  * (298.7 - 152)

=> Q =  7.441516913 * 10^{8} \  J

Generally the time taken is mathematically represented as

t =  \frac{Q}{P}

=> t =  \frac{7.441516913 * 10^{8} }{300}

=> t = 2480505.6377 s

Converting to hours

t = \frac{2480505.6377}{3600}

=> t = 689.029 \  hours

Question 4 (18 marks) (a) During a Physics Lab experiment, 1 st year SFY students analyzed the behavior of capacitors by connect
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

1.) 274.5v

2.) 206.8v

Explanation:

1.) Given that In one part of the lab activities, students connected a 2.50 µF capacitor to a 746 V power source, whilst connected a second 6.80 µF capacitor to a 562 V source.

The potential difference and charge across EACH capacitor will be

V = Voe

Where Vo = initial voltage

e = natural logarithm = 2.718

For the first capacitor 2.50 µF,

V = Vo × 2.718

746 = Vo × 2.718

Vo = 746/2.718

Vo = 274.5v

To calculate the charge, use the below formula.

Q = CV

Q = 2.5 × 10^-6 × 274.5

Q = 6.86 × 10^-4 C

For the second capacitor 6.80 µF 

V = Voe

562 = Vo × 2.718

Vo = 562/2.718

Vo = 206.77v

The charge on it will be

Q = CV

Q = 6.8 × 10^-6 × 206.77

Q = 1.41 × 10^-3 C

B.) Using the formula V = Voe again

165 = Vo × 2.718

Vo = 165 /2.718

Vo = 60.71v

Q = C × 60.71

Q = C

A sinusoidally oscillating current I ( t ) with an amplitude of 9.55 A and a frequency of 359 cycles per second is carried by a
UNO [17]

Answer:

P_{avg} = 6.283*10^{-9} \ W

Explanation:

Given that;

I₀ = 9.55 A

f = 359 cycles/s

b = 72.2 cm

c = 32.5 cm

a = 80.2 cm

Using the formula;

\phi = \frac{\mu_o Ic }{2 \pi} In (\frac{b+a}{b})

where;

E= \frac{d \phi}{dt}

E = \frac{\mu_o}{2 \pi}c In (\frac{b+a}{a}) I_o \omega cos \omega t

E_{rms} =   \frac { {\frac{\mu_o \ c}{2 \pi} In (\frac{b+a}{a}) I_o (2 \pi f)}}{\sqrt{2}}

Replacing our values into above equation; we have:

E_{rms} =   \frac { {\frac{4 \pi*10^{-7}*0.325}{2 \pi} In (\frac{72.2+80.2}{80.2}) *9.55 (2 \pi *359)}}{\sqrt{2}}

E_{rms} =   \frac {8.98909588*10^{-4} }{\sqrt{2}}

E_{rms} =   6.356*10^{-4} \ V

Then the P_{avg is calculated as:

P_{avg} = \frac{E^2}{R}

P_{avg} = \frac{(6.356*10^{-4})^2}{64.3}

P_{avg} = 6.283*10^{-9} \ W
