Answer:

W = 641.52 J

Explanation:

The work done here will be the sum of potential energy and the kinetic energy of the boy. Here potential energy accounts for vertical motion part while the kinetic energy accounts for the horizontal motion part:

Work\ Done = Kinetic\ Energy + Potential\ Energy\\\\W = K.E +P.E\\\\W = \frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgh\\\\

where,

W = Work Done = ?

m = mass = 6 kg

v = speed = 4.2 m/s

g = acceleration dueto gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = height = 10 m

Therefore,

W = \frac{1}{2}(6\ kg)(4.2\ m/s)^2+(6\ kg)(9.81\ m/s^2)(10\ m)

W = 52.92 J + 588.6 J

<u>W = 641.52 J</u>

A copper cylinder has a mass of 76.8 g and a specific heat of 0.092 cal/g.C. It is heated to 86.5 degrees C from 19.5 degrees C.
Sladkaya [172]

Given:

The mass of the copper cylinder is: m = 76.8 g = 0.0768 kg

The change in the temperature is: T = 86.5 deg C - 19.5 deg C = 67 deg C

The specific heat is: c = 0.092 cal/g.C

To find:

Heat energy needed to heat the copper cylinder.

Explanation:

The specific heat is defined as the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree celcius.

The expression relating heat Q, mass m, specific heat c and temperature difference T is:

Q=mcT

Substitute the values in the above equation, we get:

\begin{gathered} Q=76.8\text{ g}\times0.092\text{ Cal/g.C}\times67\text{ deg C} \\  \\ Q=473.40\text{ Cal} \end{gathered}

Final answer:

473.40 calories of heat is required to heat the copper cylinder.

A metal sphere with a mass of 0.026 kg rolls along a friction-less surface at 3.7 m/s and strikes a stationary sphefe having a m
zubka84 [21]

The force applied to the second ball by the first ball is 6.734 × 10^-4 N.

<h3>What is impulse of force?</h3>

The impulse of force is defined as the sum of the average force and the duration it is applied.

If the mass of the item remains constant, the impulse of force equals the change in momentum of the object.

Given that:  mass of a metal sphere: m = 0.026 kg.

Initial speed of the sphere: u = 3.7 m/s.

When the sphere stops completely, its change in momentum = mu - 0

= 0.026×3.7 N-s.

= 0.0962 N-s.

As the spheres are in contact for 0.007s before the second sphere is shot off down the track, the force applied  to the second ball =

change in momentum of 1st ball × time of contact

= 0.0962 × 0.007 N

= 0.0006734 N

= 6.734 × 10^-4 N.

Hence,  the force applied  to the second ball is  6.734 × 10^-4 N.
