A 6 kg object falls 10 m. The object is attached mechanically to a paddle-wheel which rotates as the object falls. The paddle-wh

eel is immersed in 600 g of water at 15°C. What is the maximum temperature that the water could be increased to? Is this a very efficient way of heating water? The specific heat of water is 4.186 J/(g* ˚C).

Answer:16.234^{\circ}C

Explanation:

Given

Mass of object (m)=6 kg

falling height(h)=10 m

mass of water(m_w)=600 gm

temperature of water =15

specific heat of water =4.186 j/g-^{\circ}C

Let T be the Final Temperature of water

Here Object Potential Energy is converted into Heat energy which will be absorbed by water

Potential Energy(P.E.)=mgh=6\times 9.81\times 10=588.6 J

Heat supplied=m_wc(\Delta T)

H.E.=600\times 4.186\times (T-16)

588.6=2511.6\times (T-16)

T-16=0.234

T=16.234^{\circ}C

This is not an efficient way of heating water as there is only0.234^{\circ}Cincrease in temperature.

A skier of mass 60 kg is pulled up a slope by a motor-driven cable. (a) How much work is required to pull him 75 m up a 30° slop
postnew [5]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of skier=60 kg

distance traveled by skier=75 m

inclination(\theta )=30^{\circ}

speed (v)=2.4 m/s

as the skier is moving up with a constant velocity therefore net force is zero

F_{net}=0

Force applied by cable=mg\sin \theta

F=60\times 9.8\times \sin (30)=294 N

work done=F\cdot x

W=294\cdot 75=22.125 J

(b)Power=F\cdot v

P=294\cdot 2.4=705.6 W\approx 0.946 hp

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

98.13m

Explanation:

Complete question

Daniel is 50.0 meters away from a building. Tip of the building makes an angle of 63.0° with the horizontal. What is the height of the building

CHECK THE ATTACHMENT

From the figure, using trigonometry

Tan(θ ) = opposite/adjacent

Where Angle (θ )= 63°

Opposite= X = height of the building

Adjacent= 50 m

Then substitute the values we have

Tan(63)= X/50

1.9626= X/50

X= 1.9626 × 50

X= 98.13m

Hence, the height of the building is 98.13m
