How can you determine the amount of work done on an object? (joules, work, power...etc.)

Physics

Novay_Z [31]3 years ago

Work done is equal to force by distance; so you take the force exerted, in newtons, and multiply that by the direction it's moved (from the starting point in a line, not along the path it's taken.)

a mass on a spring vibrates in simple harmonic motion at an amplitude of 8.0 cm. if the mass of the object is 0.20kg and the spr
Reil [10]

Answer:

4.06 Hz

Explanation:

For simple harmonic motion, frequency is given by

f=\frac {1}{2\pi}\times \sqrt{\frac {k}{m}} where k is spring constant and m is the mass of the object.

Substituting 0.2 Kg for mass and 130 N/m for k then

f=\frac {1}{2\pi}\times \sqrt{\frac {130}{0.2}}=4.057670803\\f\approx 4.06 Hz

For each of the following pairs of gas properties, describe the relationship between the properties, describe a simple system th
asambeis [7]

Answer:

For  each pair of properties of a gas, the relationships are (see the explanation for the description of the systems):

  1. (a) Volume and pressure: The relationship between them is inversely proportional.
  2. (b) Pressure and temperature: They have a directly proportional relationship.
  3. (c) Volume and temperature: They relationship is directly proportional.
  4. (d) Number of gas particles and pressure: The relationship is directly proportional between them.

Explanation:

1. Volume and pressure (temperature and amount of particles constant):

They have an inversely proportional relationship, because <em>if volume is reduced, the pressure increases, or if the volume increases, the pressure decreases</em>.

A simple system could be one similar to the one used by Boyle to test this relationship:

  • Seal the short extreme of a translucent J tube. It could be glass or plastic.
  • Put some water on it. As much as needed to have both sides of the tube filled.
  • Using a syringe, and a flexible small tube,inject a determined volume of air in the bottom in a way that the bubble is trapped in the seal side of the J tube.
  • Then if more water is added to the tube, it will increase the pressure (from the pressure definition is possible to in the trapped air, and is possible to measure the compression of the air bubble. The same is possible if using the syringe, and the flexible tube, some water is removed, and the increasing of volume could be observed.

2. Pressure and temperature (volume and amount of particles of the gas remains constant)

They have a directly proportional relationship, because <em>if temperature is reduced, the pressure decreases, or if the temperature increases, the pressure would increase, also</em>.

A simple system to show this is two cans of soda.

  • The can is rigid, so the volume is always constant, and the amount of gas inside the soda is the same.
  • Put one can under the sun, and the other in the cooler.
  • After a while, take it out the can in the cooler, and open both cans.
  • The one that was under the sun will "explode", in other words, it will liberate a lot of foam of gas and soda, meaning that the pressure inside the can was high.
  • The one that was in te cooler, won't liberate any foam, meaning that the pressure was low.

3. Volume and temperature (pressure and amount of particles of the gas remains constant)

They have a directly proportional relationship, because <em>if temperature is reduced, the pressure decreases, or if the temperature increases, the pressure will increase, also</em>.

A simple system to show this is a party balloon.

  • Fill the party balloon with some air, not enough to be close to explode, but enough to have it of a medium size. Tie the filling hole of the balloon.
  • The air inside the balloon would be at the same pressure than the atmosphere around it, so always will be at this pressure, and the close hole ensure that it has always the same amount of air inside.
  • Now is possible to use some heat source, for example as a hair dryer to increase the temperature of the balloon and its contents. The size of the balloon will increase. Then using water is possible to cool it down and watch how its size decreases.

4. Number of gas particles and pressure (volume and temperature of gas remains constant)

They have a directly proportional relationship, because <em>if the amount of gas particles is reduced, the pressure decreases, or if quantity of gas particles increases, the pressure will increase, also</em>.

A simple system to show this would be a bicycle tire:

  • The tire is rigid, so its volume is essentially constant, and the temperature would remains the same if not moving or driving it.
  • Using a tire gauge, it is possible to know the manometric pressure inside the tire, that is the difference between the actual pressure inside the tire and the atmospheric pressure.
  • Then each time that using an air pump some air is injected in the tire, it si possible to check the pressure inside it using the gauge, and observe how is increasing.
  • Also, is possible to open the valve, to allow some air to escape, then use the gauge to observe how the pressure decreases.

A 200 kg wood crate sits in the back of a truck. The coefficients of friction between the crate and the truck are ????s = 0.9 an
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Maximum acceleration of the truck is 5.25 m/s^2

Explanation:

To find the maximum acceleration the truck first we need to calculate friction between truck and wood. Because of wood is not moving, coefficient of c_{s} need to be used for it. Then the formula will be:

F_{s}=c_{s}*200*9.8*cos(20)\\F_{s}=0.9*200*9.8*0.94\\F_{s}=1657.62

1657.62 Newton is the friction.

So force against friction need to be at most 1657.62 N. Then equation will be:

F_{s}=F_{a}+F_{m}\\1657.62=200*9.8*sin(20)+200*a*cos(20)\\1657.62=670.36+187.94*a\\987.26=187.94*a\\a=5.25

Maximum acceleration of the truck need to be 5.25 m/s^2

Why do you think the carbon dioxide measurements have increased so much in the last 100 years or so?
Travka [436]

Answer:

Explanation:

Carbon Dioxide has increased in the last 100 years because we’ve been told it has. We don’t know via our own senses of course, so we just have to accept that it has. I personally don’t know how CO2 levels are measured since different parts of the world have different levels of CO2. For instance, the Pacific Ocean which occupies 30% of the entire planet has no trees or green plants at all and therefore absorbs only small amounts of CO2.
