What did physicist James Joule's famous paddle wheel experiment demonstrate?

Answer:

that the initial gravitational potential energy of the masses transformed into kinetic energy of the paddles and then to thermal energy in the water

Explanation:

Joule was one of the foremost scientists to opine that one form of energy could be converted into other forms. In the famous "paddle wheel" experiment he used a falling weight to pull a string that turned a paddle wheel submerged in a bucket of water. It was discovered that the mechanical energy released by the falling weight was converted into heat energy by the paddle wheel. Joule then measured the amount of heat energy absorbed by the water by recording the temperature of the water before and after the paddle wheel began moving . He discovered that the increase in water temperature was directly related to the amount of kinetic energy released.

<u>Answer </u>

A. that the initial gravitational potential energy of the masses transformed into kinetic energy of the paddles and then to thermal energy in the water


<u>Explanation</u>

James Joule allowed some water to fall from a height of 1 foot. the water would turn a paddle wheel at the bottom causing a temperature of water to raise.

The height form which the water fell, mass and the temperature of water was measured and used to calculate mechanical equivalent of heat.

From the choices given the best answer is A. that the initial gravitational potential energy of the masses transformed into kinetic energy of the paddles and then to thermal energy in the water.

The concentration of sodium and potassium ions in the blood and body fluid is regulated by :
Liula [17]

Answer:

Kidney

Explanation:

One of the main function of the kidney is to maintain the homeostasis of sodium and potassium ions in the blood and body.

Aldosterone is a key steroid hormone that balances sodium and potassium ions in the blood and body fluid. Potassium and sodium ions generate electric impulse in the body which helps to perform different activities such as muscles flexing.

Kidney function for reabsorption and secretion, in which reabsorption of Na is done nd balances the sodium and potassium in the blood and body.

A 530-g squirrel with a surface area of 935 cm2 falls from a 4.4-m tree to the ground. Estimate its terminal velocity. (Use the
Agata [3.3K]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of squirrel,m=530 g=\frac{530}{1000}=0.530 kg

1kg=1000 g

Area=A=935 cm^2=935\times 10^{-4} m^2

1 cm^2=10^{-4} m^2

Height,h=4.4 m

C=1

\rho=1.21 kg/m^3

Width of rectangular prism,b=11.6 cm=\frac{11.6}{100}=0.116 m

1 m=100 cm

Length,l=23.2 cm=0.232 m

Area=l\times b=0.116\times 0.232=0.0269 m^2

Terminal velocity,v_t=\sqrt{\frac{2mg}{\rho CA}}

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

Using the formula

v_t=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 0.530\times 9.8}{1.21\times 1\times 0.0269}}

v_t=17.86 m/s

The velocity of person,v=\sqrt{2gh}

Using the formula

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 4.4}

v=9.29 m/s

Suppose you are pushing a 3 kg box with a force of 25 N (directed parallel to the ground) over a distance of 15 m. Afterward, th
alex41 [277]

Answer: 321 J

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the box m=3\ kg

Force applied is F=25\ N

Displacement of the box is s=15\ m

Velocity acquired by the box is v=6\ m/s

acceleration associated with it is a=\dfrac{F}{m}

\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{25}{3}\ m/s^2

Work done by force is W=F\cdot s

W=25\times 15\\W=375\ J

change in kinetic energy is \Delta K

\Rightarrow \Delta K=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-0)\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3\times 6^2\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3\times 36\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta K=54\ J

According to work-energy theorem, work done by all the forces is equal to the change in the kinetic energy

\Rightarrow W+W_f=\Delta K\quad [W_f=\text{Work done by friction}]\\\\\Rightarrow 375+W_f=54\\\Rightarrow W_f=-321\ J

Therefore, the magnitude of work done by friction is 321\ J
