One horsepower (1 hp) is the unit of power based on the work that a horse can do in one second. This is defined, in English unit

s, as a force of 550 lb that can move an object 1 foot in 1 s. In SI, 1 hp equals 745.7 W, or 745.7 J of work delivered in 1 s. Suppose you have a horse that delivers 745.7 W of power, but that it does the work in only 0.55 s. How much work has this horse done?

Power is defined as rate of work done which means it is work done in 1 second of time

Now it is given that we have a horse that will give power 745.7 W

So it will do work of 745.7 J in 1 second of time

now if we wish to find the work done by horse in 0.55 s

so we can say

$W = Power \times time$

$W = 745.7 \times 0.55$

$W = 410.14 J$

So it will do total work of 410.14 J in 0.55 s of time

allsm [11]

Answer:
These are the two statements with scientific facts that explain the described phenomenon
<span>
Gravitation between two objects increases when the distance between them decreases.</span>

When the mass of an object increases, its gravitational pull also increases.

Justification:

Those two facts are represented in the Universal Law of Gravity discovered by the scientific Sir Isaac Newton (1642 to 1727) and published in his book <span>Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica.</span>

That law is represented by the equation:

F = G × m₁ × m₂ / d²

The product of the two masses on the numerator accounts for the fact that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses, which is that as the masses increase the attraction also increase.

The term d² (square of the distance that separates the objects) in the denominator accounts for the fact that the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance; that is as the separation of the objects increase the gravitational force decrease.

A cylinder with a piston contains 0.200 mol of oxygen at 2.00×105 Pa and 360 K . The oxygen may be treated as an ideal gas. The

ikadub [295]

Answer:

A. $W=600\ J$

B. $Q=2112\ J$

C. $\Delta U=1512\ J$

D. $W=0\ J$

Explanation:

Given:

no. of moles of oxygen in the cylinder, $n=0.2$

initial pressure in the cylinder, $P_i=2\times 10^5\ Pa$

initial temperature of the gas in the cylinder, $T_i=360\ K$

<em>According to the question the final volume becomes twice of the initial volume.</em>

<u>Using ideal gas law:</u>

$P.V=n.R.T$

$2\times 10^5\times V_i=0.2\times 8.314\times 360$

$V_i=0.003\ m^3$

A.

<u>Work done by the gas during the initial isobaric expansion:</u>

$W=P.dV$

$W=P_i\times (V_f-V_i)$

$W=2\times 10^5\times (0.006-0.003)$

$W=600\ J$

C.

<u>we have the specific heat capacity of oxygen at constant pressure as:</u>

$c_v=21\ J.mol^{-1}.K^{-1}$

Now we apply Charles Law:

$\frac{V_i}{T_i} =\frac{V_f}{T_f}$

$\frac{0.003}{360} =\frac{0.006}{T_f}$

$T_f=720\ K$

<u>Now change in internal energy:</u>

$\Delta U=n.c_p.(T_f-T_i)$

$\Delta U=0.2\times 21\times (720-360)$

$\Delta U=1512\ J$

B.

<u>Now heat added to the system:</u>

$Q=W+\Delta U$

$Q=600+1512$

$Q=2112\ J$

D.

Since during final cooling the process is isochoric (i.e. the volume does not changes). So,

$W=0\ J$

There may be installations where grounded conductors of different systems are installed within the same raceway, cable, or box.

Brrunno [24]

It is imperative that the system-grounded conductors remain buried and is denoted as option D.

<h3>What is a Conductor?</h3>

This is referred as a substance which allows electricity and heat to flow through it and examples include metals.

These conductors have to be buried so as to prevent the risk of contact and electrocution of individuals thereby making it a safe method.
