How much work must be done on a 24-kg shopping cart to increase its speed

1 answer:

lisov135 [29]3 years ago

Answer:

The work done by the shopping cart is 180 J

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of a shopping cart is 24 kg

Initial speed of cart is 1 m/s

Final speed of a cart is 4 m/s

It is required to find the work done by the shopping cart. The work done by an object is also equal to the change in its kinetic energy as per work -energy theorem. It means,

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)$

m = 24 kg

u = 1 m/s and v = 4 m/s

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 24\times (4^2-1^2)\\\\W=180\ J$

So, the work done by the shopping cart is 180 J.

A 30 resistor is connected in series with another resistor and a 6. 0V battery. The current in th

Setler79 [48]

Hi there!

We can begin by calculating the voltage drop across the 30 Ω resistor using the equation:

V = IR
V = Potential Difference (V)

I = Current (A)

R = Resistance (Ω)

Calculate the voltage. Recall that the current is CONSTANT across a series circuit.

V = 0.12 × 30 = 3.6 V

Voltage ADDS UP in a series, so:

Total V = V1 + V2

6 = 3.6 + V2

<u>V2 = 2.4V. The correct answer is A.</u>

An ideal gas, initially at a pressure of 11.2 atm and a temperature of 299 K, is allowed to expand adiabatically until its volum

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The pressure is $P_2 = 4.25 \ a.t.m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The initial pressure is $P_1 = 11.2\ a.t.m$

The temperature is $T_1 = 299 \ K$

Let the first volume be $V_1$ Then the final volume will be $2 V_1$

Generally for a diatomic gas

$P_1 V_1 ^r = P_2 V_2 ^r$

Here r is the radius of the molecules which is mathematically represented as

$r = \frac{C_p}{C_v}$

Where $C_p \ and\ C_v$ are the molar specific heat of a gas at constant pressure and the molar specific heat of a gas at constant volume with values

$C_p=7 \ and\ C_v=5$

=> $r = \frac{7}{5}$

=> $11.2*( V_1 ^{\frac{7}{5} } ) = P_2 * (2 V_1 ^{\frac{7}{5} } )$

=> $P_2 = [\frac{1}{2} ]^{\frac{7}{5} } * 11.2$

=> $P_2 = 4.25 \ a.t.m$

What is a device that minimizes the force on a microscopic object during a collision?

liraira [26]

An impact which stops a moving object must do enough work to take away its kinetic energy, so extending the distance moved during the collision reduces the impact force.

A highway curves to the left with radius of curvature of 36 m and is banked at 26, so that cars can take this curve at higher sp

Katarina [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

radius of track $r=36\ m$

inclination $\theta =26^{\circ}$

mass of car $m=1477\ kg$

coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu =0.61$

From diagram

$N\cos \theta -f_r-mg=0---1$

Where N=Normal reaction

$f_r=friction$

$N\cos \theta +f_r\cos \theta =\frac{mv^2}{r}---2$

$f_r=\mu N----3$

From 1 2 and 3 we get maximum velocity without skidding

$v=\sqrt{gr}\times \sqrt{\frac{\tan \theta +\mu}{1-\mu \tan \theta }}$

$v=\sqrt{9.8\times 36}\times \sqrt{\frac{\tan 26+0.61}{1-0.61\cdot \tan 26}}$

$v=\sqrt{551.366}$

$v=23.78\ m/s$
