Where does the energy in an unburned match come from?

Physics
1 answer:
choli [55]3 years ago

A matchstick has a lot of chemical energy stored in it. When the match is struck, it burns and the chemical energy in it produces heat energy and light energy.

Hi there!

(a)

Recall that:
W = F \cdot d = Fdcos\theta

W = Work (J)
F = Force (N)
d = Displacement (m)

Since this is a dot product, we only use the component of force that is IN the direction of the displacement. We can use the horizontal component of the given force to solve for the work.

W =248(56)cos(30) = 12027.36 J

To the nearest multiple of ten:
W_A = \boxed{12030 J}

(b)
The object is not being displaced vertically. Since the displacement (horizontal) is perpendicular to the force of gravity (vertical), cos(90°) = 0, and there is NO work done by gravity.

Thus:
\boxed{W_g = 0 J}

(c)
Similarly, the normal force is perpendicular to the displacement, so:
\boxed{W_N = 0 J}

(d)

Recall that the force of kinetic friction is given by:
F_{f} =\mu_k mg

Since the force of friction resists the applied force (assigned the positive direction), the work due to friction is NEGATIVE because energy is being LOST. Thus:
W_f = -\mu_k mgd\\W_f = - (0.1)(56)(9.8)(56) = -3073.28 J

In multiples of ten:
\boxed{W_f = -3070 J}

(e)
Simply add up the above values of work to find the net work.

W_{net} = W_A + W_f \\\\W_{net} = 12027.36 + (-3073.28) = 8954.08 J

Nearest multiple of ten:
\boxed{W_{net} = 8950 J}}

(f)
Similarly, we can use a summation of forces in the HORIZONTAL direction. (cosine of the applied force)
F_{net} = F_{Ax} - F_f

W = F_{net} \cdot d = (F_{Ax} - F_f)

W = (F_Acos(30) - \mu_k mg)d\\W = (248cos(30) - 0.1(56)(9.8)) * 56 \\\\W = 8954.08 J

Nearest multiple of ten:
\boxed{W_{net} = 8950 J}

Zorn and Porsha are ice skating. Porsha has a mass of 60 kg, and Zorn has a mass of 40 kg. As they face each
algol13

Assuming the friction between the skaters and the ice is  negligible, the magnitude of Porsha's acceleration is 2.8m/s².

Missing part of the question: determine the magnitude of Porsha's acceleration.

Given the data in the question;

  • Mass of Porsha; m_{porsha} = 60kg
  • Mass of Zorn; m_{zorn} = 40kg
  • Force of Porsha push; F_{porsha} = 168N

Magnitude of Porsha's acceleration; a = \ ?

To determine the magnitude of Porsha's acceleration, we use Newton's second laws of motion:

F = m*a

Where m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration.

We substitute the mass of Porsha and the force he used into the equation

168N = 60kg * a\\\\a = \frac{168kg.m/s^2}{60kg}\\\\a = 2.8m/s^2

Therefore, assuming the friction between the skaters and the ice is  negligible, the magnitude of Porsha's acceleration is 2.8m/s².

Determine whether the given value is a statistic or a parameter. a homeowner measured the voltage supplied to his home on 20 day
Gelneren [198K]
<span>For this example, the value presented would be considered a statistic. The value is a statistic as it represents a numerical measurement of a sample. If it were a parameter, it would need to represent a numerical measurement of a population.</span>

Explain how a current is induced in the wire?
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

If a coil of wire is placed in a changing magnetic field, a current will be induced in the wire. This current flows because something is producing an electric field that forces the charges around the wire. (It cannot be the magnetic force since the charges are not initially moving). ... that determines the induced current.
