Answer:

17304 J

Explanation:

Complete statement of the question is :

In the winter activity of tubing, riders slide down snow covered slopes while sitting on large inflated rubber tubes. To get to the top of the slope, a rider and his tube, with a total mass of 84 kg , are pulled at a constant speed by a tow rope that maintains a constant tension of 350 N .

Part A

How much thermal energy is created in the slope and the tube during the ascent of a 30-m-high, 120-m-long slope?

Solution :

$T$ = tension force in the tow rope = 350 N

$L$ = length of the incline surface = 120 m

$W_{t}$ = work done by tension force = ?

The tension force acts parallel to incline surface, hence work done by tension force is given as

$W_{t} = T L\\W_{t} = (350) (120)\\W_{t} = 42000 J$

$h$ = height gained by the rider = 30 m

$m$ = total mass of rider and tube = 84 kg

Potential energy gained is given as

$U = mgh\\U = (84) (9.8) (30)\\U = 24696 J$

$Q$ = Thermal energy created

Using conservation of energy

$Q = W_{t} - U\\Q = 42000 - 24696\\Q = 17304 J$

The position of a particle moving along the x-axis depends on the time according to the equation x = ct2 - bt3, where x is in me

Sav [38]

Answer:

(a): $\rm meter/ second^2.$

(b): $\rm meter/ second^3.$

(c): $\rm 2ct-3bt^2.$

(d): $\rm 2c-6bt.$

(e): $\rm t=\dfrac{2c}{3b}.$

Explanation:

Given, the position of the particle along the x axis is

$\rm x=ct^2-bt^3.$

The units of terms $\rm ct^2$ and $\rm bt^3$ should also be same as that of x, i.e., meters.

The unit of t is seconds.

(a):

Unit of $\rm ct^2=meter$

Therefore, unit of $\rm c= meter/ second^2.$

(b):

Unit of $\rm bt^3=meter$

Therefore, unit of $\rm b= meter/ second^3.$

(c):

The velocity v and the position x of a particle are related as

$\rm v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}\\=\dfrac{d}{dx}(ct^2-bt^3)\\=2ct-3bt^2.$

(d):

The acceleration a and the velocity v of the particle is related as

$\rm a = \dfrac{dv}{dt}\\=\dfrac{d}{dt}(2ct-3bt^2)\\=2c-6bt.$

(e):

The particle attains maximum x at, let's say, $\rm t_o$ , when the following two conditions are fulfilled:

$\rm \left (\dfrac{dx}{dt}\right )_{t=t_o}=0.$
$\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}$

Applying both these conditions,

$\rm \left ( \dfrac{dx}{dt}\right )_{t=t_o}=0\\2ct_o-3bt_o^2=0\\t_o(2c-3bt_o)=0\\t_o=0\ \ \ \ \ or\ \ \ \ \ 2c=3bt_o\Rightarrow t_o = \dfrac{2c}{3b}.$

For $\rm t_o = 0$ ,

$\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}=2c-6bt_o = 2c-6\cdot 0=2c$

Since, c is a positive constant therefore, for $\rm t_o = 0$ ,

$\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}>0$

Thus, particle does not reach its maximum value at $\rm t = 0\ s.$

For $\rm t_o = \dfrac{2c}{3b}$ ,

$\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}=2c-6bt_o = 2c-6b\cdot \dfrac{2c}{3b}=2c-4c=-2c.$

Here,

$\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}$

Thus, the particle reach its maximum x value at time $\rm t_o = \dfrac{2c}{3b}.$

A car starts from rest and travels for 5.8 s with a uniform acceleration of 1.6 m/s² in the negative direction. What is the fina

elena-s [515]

Answer:

Final velocity of the car will be -9.28 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given that the car starts from the rest so initial velocity of the car u = 0 m /sec

Acceleration of the car $a=1.6m/sec^2$ in negative direction so acceleration will be $a=-1.6m/sec^2$

From first equation of motion we know that

v = u+at

So $v=0+(-1.6)\times 5.8=-9.28m/sec$

So final velocity will be -9.28 m/sec

A train, traveling at a constant speed of 22.0 m/s, comes to an incline with a constant slope. While going up the incline, the t

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

123.30 m

Explanation:

Given

Speed, u = 22 m/s

acceleration, a = 1.40 m/s²

time, t = 7.30 s

From equation of motion,

v = u + at

where,

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is time

V = at + U

using equation v - u = at to get line equation for the graph of the motion of the train on the incline plane

$V_{x} = mt + V_{o}$ where m is the slope

Comparing equation (1) and (2)

$V = V_{x}$

a = m

$U = V_{o}$

Since the train slows down with a constant acceleration of magnitude 1.40 m/s² when going up the incline plane. This implies the train is decelerating. Therefore, the train is experiencing negative acceleration.

a = - 1.40 m/s²

Sunstituting a = - 1.40 m/s² and u = 22 m/s

$V_{x} = -1.40t + 22$

$V_{x} = -1.40(7.30) + 22$

$V_{x} = -10.22 + 22$

$V_{x} = 11. 78 m/s$

The speed of the train at 7.30 s is 11.78 m/s.

The distance traveled after 7.30 sec on the incline is the area cover on the incline under the specific interval.

Area of triangle + Area of rectangle

$[\frac{1}{2} * (22 - 11.78) * (7.30)] + [(11.78 - 0) * (7.30)]$

= 37.303 + 85.994

= 123. 297 m

≈ 123. 30 m

This is a question on my physics test :)

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

119.6 J/Kg°C

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Mass of substance (ms) = 170 g

Initial temperature of substance (Ts) = 120 °C

Volume of water = 200 mL

Initial temperature of water (Ts) = 10 °C

Temperature of the mixture (T2) = 12.6 °C

Density of water = 1 g/mL

Specific heat capacity of water (Cw) = 4200J/Kg°C

Specific heat capacity of substance (Cs) =..?

Next, we shall determine the mass of water. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume of water = 200 mL

Density of water = 1 g/mL

Mass of water =..?

Density = mass /volume

1 = mass /200

Cross multiply

Mass of water = 1 x 200

Mass of water = 200 g

Convert 200 g of water to Kg

Mass of water = 200/1000 0.2 Kg

Mass of water = 0.2 Kg

Now, we obtained the specific heat capacity of the substance using the following formula:

MwCw(T2 – Tw) + MsCs(T2 – Ts) = 0

Mass of water = 0.2 Kg

Initial temperature of water (Ts) = 10 °C

Specific heat capacity of water (Cw) = 4200J/Kg°C

Temperature of the mixture (T2) = 12.6 °C

Mass of substance (ms) = 170 g = 170/1000 = 0.17 Kg

Initial temperature of substance (Ts) = 120 °C

Specific heat capacity of substance (Cs) =..?

MwCw(T2 – Tw) + MsCs(T2 – Ts) = 0

0.2× 4200(12.6 – 10) + 0.17×Cs×(12.6 – 120) = 0

840(2.6) + 0.17Cs(– 107.4) = 0

2184 – 18.258Cs = 0

Rearrange

2184 = 18.258Cs

Divide both side by the coefficient of Cs i.e 18258

Cs = 2184/18.258

Cs = 119.6 J/Kg°C

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of the substance is 119.6 J/Kg°C
