An object at a vertical elevation of 20 m and a speed of 5 m/s decreases in elevation to an elevation of 1 m. At this location,

the object has a velocity of 15 m/s. The mass of the object is 68 kg. Assuming the object is the system, determine if there is any work transfer associated with the object (there is no heat transfer). The object is solid, incompressible and its temperature does not change during the process. If there is work transfer, is work done on or by the object? Assume the acceleration of gravity g = 9.81 m/s2.

Answer with Explanation:

We know that from the principle of work and energy we have

Work done on/by a body =ΔEnergy of the body.

Now as we know that energy of a body is the sum of it's kinetic and potential energy hence we can find out the magnitude of the final and initial energies as explained under

E_{initial}=P.E+K.E\\\\E_{initail}=mgh_1+\frac{1}{2}mv_1^{2}\\\\68\times 9.81\times 20+\frac{1}{2}\times 68\times (5)^{2}=14191.6Joules

Similarly the final energy is calculated to be

E_{final}=P.E+K.E\\\\E_{final}=mgh_2+\frac{1}{2}mv_2^{2}\\\\68\times 9.81\times 1+\frac{1}{2}\times 68\times (15)^{2}=8317.08Joules

As we can see that the energy of the object has changed thus by work energy theorem we conclude that work transfer is associated with the object.

Part 2)

The change in the energy of the body equals 8317.08-14191.6=-5874.52Joules

Since the energy is lost by the system hence we conclude that work is done by the object.

What are the inputs and outputs of a sailboat?
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

  • sailing ships were the primary means of maritime trade and transportation; exploration across the seas and oceans was reliant on sail for anything other than the shortest distances. Naval power in this period used sail to varying degrees depending on the current technology, culminating in the gun-armed sailing warships of the Age of Sail.

Determine the hydraulic radius for the following rectangular open channel width =23m water depth =3m
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

2.379m

Explanation:

The width = 23m

The depth = 3m

The radius is denoted as R

The wetted area is = A

The perimeter perimeter = P

Hydraulic radius

R = A/P

The area of a rectangular channel

= Width multiplied by Depth

A = 23x3

A = 69m²

Perimeter = (2x3)+23

P = 6+23

P= 29

Hydraulic radius R = 69/29

= 2.379m

This answers the question

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Trojan horse

Explanation:

A trojan horse attack is a type of malware that misleads users, as it appears unsuspicious at first, but actually presents a threat to the user. A common example is that of an email that contains a malicious attachment. Another common example is that of a fake advertisement. The name comes from the Greek story of the Trojan horse that led to the fall of the city of Troy.
