If a boat and its riders have a mass of 1100 kg and the boat drifts in at 1.3 m/s how much work does Sam do to stop it

Physics
1 answer:
andriy [413]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

-929.5Joules

Explanation:

To get the work done by sam, we will calculate the kinetic energy of sam expressed as;

KE = 1/2mv²

m is the mass = 1100kg

v is the velocity = 1.3m/s

KE = 1/2(1100)(1.3)²

KE = 550(1.69)

KE = 929.5Joules

Since Sam is opposing the direction of movement, work done by him will be a negative work i.e -929.5Joules

What is 7.832 rounded to the nearest 10th?
Galina-37 [17]

When rounding you look at the number right after the one you want to round. The tenth place is the one right after the decimal. If the number after it is more than five it goes up by one, it it's less than five it stays the same. So since the number after the 8 is a 3 it stays the same.

The answer is 7.8

Which of the following involve an increase in the entropy of the system under consideration? a. melting of a solid b. evaporatio
Mama L [17]

Explanation:

Since, entropy is the measure of degree of randomness. So, more randomly the molecules of a substance are moving more will be its entropy.

  • For example, when a solid melts then it means heat is absorbed by it due to which its molecules have gained energy. As a result, they collide with each other and hence, entropy will increase.
  • Evaporation of a liquid will also cause the liquid to change its state from liquid to gas. This means molecules will go far away from each other leading to an increase in the entropy.
  • Sublimation is a process of conversion of a solid into gaseous phase without going through liquid phase. So, in this case also entropy will increase due to gain in energy by the molecules of a solid.
  • In freezing, molecules of a substance come closer to each other and acquire less energy. Hence, entropy decreases.
  • Mixing is a process of combining two or more substances physically with each other. This leads to increase in entropy of a substance.
  • In separation molecules are separated from each other leading to a decrease in energy. Hence, entropy will also decrease.
  • Diffusion is a process in which molecules are able to rapidly move from one place to another. Hence, entropy increases when diffusion takes place.

Thus, we can conclude that melting of a solid, evaporation of a liquid, sublimation, mixing and diffusion involve an increase in the entropy of the system under consideration.
