Answer:

An object's acceleration is the rate its velocity (speed and direction) changes. Therefore, an object can accelerate even if its speed is constant - if its direction changes.

A 200g(m2) mass is pulling the cart (m1) across the table as shown below. If it covers 1.12m in 4.8 seconds starting from rest,

Vsevolod [243]

Answer: 20.21 kg

Explanation:

The mass hanging from the pulley is pulling the cart. The force by which cart is being pulled is equal to weight of the hanging mass.

$F=m_2g$

⇒F=0.200 kg ×9.8 m/s²=1.96 N

Since there is no other force acting on the cart and there is no friction, so this force will pull the cart.

The Cart covers 1.12 m distance in 4.8 s.

From the equation of motion,

s = u t + 0.5 × a t²

We will find the acceleration of the cart,

Distance covered, s = 1.12 m

Initial velocity, u = 0 ( staring from rest)

Time taken, t = 4.8 s

⇒1.12 m = 0 + 0.5 × a × (4.8 s)²

⇒a = 0.097 m/s²

Now the force which causes this acceleration is:

F = ma

where m is the mass of the cart and a is the acceleration of the cart

⇒1.96 N = m×0.097 m/s²

⇒m = 20.21 kg

Hence, the mass of the cart is 20.21 kg.

A Carnot engine operates between temperature levels of 600 K and 300 K. It drives a Carnot refrigerator, which provides cooling

KATRIN_1 [288]

Explanation:

Formula for maximum efficiency of a Carnot refrigerator is as follows.

$\frac{W}{Q_{H_{1}}} = \frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{1}}}$ ..... (1)

And, formula for maximum efficiency of Carnot refrigerator is as follows.

$\frac{W}{Q_{C_{2}}} = \frac{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}}{T_{C_{2}}}$ ...... (2)

Now, equating both equations (1) and (2) as follows.

$Q_{C_{2}} \frac{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}}{T_{C_{2}}}$ = $Q_{H_{1}} \frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{1}}}$

$\gamma = \frac{Q_{C_{2}}}{Q_{H_{1}}}$

= $\frac{T_{C_{2}}}{T_{H_{1}}} (\frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}})$

= $\frac{250}{600} (\frac{(600 - 300)K}{300 K - 250 K})$

= 2.5

Thus, we can conclude that the ratio of heat extracted by the refrigerator ("cooling load") to the heat delivered to the engine ("heating load") is 2.5.

Answer:

Explanation:La ecuación de Van der Waals es una ecuación de estado de un fluido compuesto de partículas con un tamaño no despreciable y con fuerzas intermoleculares, como las fuerzas de Van der Waals. La ecuación, cuyo origen se remonta a 1873, debe su nombre a Johannes van der Waals, quien recibió el premio Nobel en 1910 por su trabajo en la ecuación de estado para gases y líquidos, la cual está basada en una modificación de la ley de los gases ideales para que se aproxime de manera más precisa al comportamiento de los gases reales al tener en cuenta su tamaño no nulo y la atracción entre sus partículas.
