An elevator of mass m is initially at rest on the first floor of a building. It moves upward, and passes the second and third fl

oors with a constant velocity, and finally stops at the fourth floor. The distance between adjacent floors is h. What is the net work done on the elevator during the entire trip, from the first floor to the fourth floor?
1. W = ?4 m g h
2. None of these.
3. W = 0
4. W = 4 m g h
5. W = ?3 m g h
6. W = 3 m g h

Answer:

6. W = 3 m g h

Explanation:

Displacement in moving from first floor to the fourth floor is 3h, and the total energy consumed in this process is (3.m.g.h) which is equal to the work done.

According to the work-energy equivalence the change in energy of a system is equal to the work done.

Here, change in potential energy:

\Delta PE=m.g(\Delta h)

\Delta PE=3mgh

\therefore W=\Delta PE

W=3mgh

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The amount of heat transfer is 21,000J .

Explanation:

The equation form of thermodynamics is,

ΔQ=ΔU+W

Here, ΔQ is the heat transferred, ΔU is the change in internal energy, and W is the work done.

Substitute 0 J for W and 0 J for ΔU

ΔQ = 0J+0J

ΔQ = 0J

The change in internal energy is equal to zero because the temperature changes of the house didn’t change. The work done is zero because the volume did not change

The heat transfer is,

ΔQ=Q  (in ) −Q (out )

Substitute 19000 J + 2000 J for Q(in)  and 0 J for Q(out)

ΔQ=(19000J+2000J)−(0J)

=21,000J

​Thus, the amount of heat transfer is 21,000J .

A scientist observes rock masses that have moved past each other in opposite horizontal directions. Which feature
Reil [10]

Answer:

C. strike-slip fault

Explanation:

The scientist must have observed a strike- slip fault.

A fault is an evidence of brittle deformation of the crust in the presence of applied stress on earth materials. Here, the earth material is the rock subjected to tension.

Where a fault occurs, there must have been movement between two blocks of rocks. The direction of movement helps us to delineate the fault type.

  • When two blocks moves past each other horizontally, it is a strike-slip fault like rubbing your palms together.
  • When a block moves in the direction of the dip, it forms a dip-slip fault which results in a fault-block mountain characterized by graben and horst systems.

Option A, Plateau is a table landform usually a mountain with flat peak.

Option B is a bowl shaped stratigraphic pattern in which the youngest sequence is at the core of the strata or a fold.

So, the most fitting option is C, a strike-slip fault.
