when a person uses an iron to remove the wrinkles from a shirt, why does heat travel from the iron to the shirt?

1 answer:

3 0

I think the answer to your question is that:
There is chemical energy being produced (by the water) and that causes the base of iron to absorb the heat. Then when the heated base of the iron is placed onto the shirt, the heat flattens the wrinkles on it.

A 21.7kg child descends a slide 3.5 m high and reaches the bottom with a speed of 2.2m/s. How much thermal energy due to frictio

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Subtract the kinetic energy at the bottom from the potential energy loss. The remainder becomes frictional heat.

Potential energy loss:

M g H = 21.7*9.81*3.5 = 745.1 J

Kinetic energy at bottom of slide:

= (1/2) M v^2 = 52.5 J

A roller coaster car may be approximated by a block of mass m. Thecar, which starts from rest, is released at a height h above t

elena55 [62]

Answer:

The first part can be solved via conservation of energy.

$mgh = mg2R + K\\K = mg(h-2R)$

For the second part,

the free body diagram of the car should be as follows:

- weight in the downwards direction

- normal force of the track to the car in the downwards direction

The total force should be equal to the centripetal force by Newton's Second Law.

$F = ma = \frac{mv^2}{R}\\mg + N = \frac{mv^2}{R}$

where $N = 0$ because we are looking for the case where the car loses contact.

$mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}\\v^2 = gR\\v = \sqrt{gR}$

Now we know the minimum velocity that the car should have. Using the energy conservation found in the first part, we can calculate the minimum height.

$mgh = mg2R + \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\mgh = mg2R + \frac{1}{2}m(gR)\\gh = g2R + \frac{1}{2}gR\\h = 2R + \frac{R}{2}\\h = \frac{5R}{2}$

Explanation:

The point that might confuse you in this question is the direction of the normal force at the top of the loop.

We usually use the normal force opposite to the weight. However, normal force is the force that the road exerts on us. Imagine that the car goes through the loop very very fast. Its tires will feel a great amount of normal force, if its velocity is quite high. By the same logic, if its velocity is too low, it might not feel a normal force at all, which means losing contact with the track.

Based on the graph, describe how momentum changes with time for an object in free fall. If you can help, I would be so grateful.

With time, momentum increases as it builds speed assuming their is nothing in the way to stop it. Based on the graph, you can see that example being displayed as the line on the graph gets higher
