We are given an object that is speeding up on a level ground.
Let's remember that the gravitational energy depends on the change in height, therefore, if the object is not changing its height it means that the gravitational energy remains constant.
The kinetic energy depends on the velocity. If the velocity is increasing this means that the kinetic energy is also increasing.
Now, every change in velocity requires acceleration and acceleration requires a force. The force and the distance that the object moves are equivalent to the work that is transferred to the object and therefore, the change in kinetic energy. This means that the total energy of the system increases as work is transferred to the mass.
We have that the total energy of the system increases in the form of kinetic energy and that the gravitational potential energy remains constant. Therefore, the diagrams should look like pie charts that grow but the area of the segment of the potential energy stays the same. It should look similar to the following.
Remember Newton's second law: F=ma
to get the force in newtons, mass should be in kg and acceleration in m/s^2
conveniently, we don't need to convert units
we just need to multiply the two to get the force
65* 0.3 = 19.5 kg m/s^2 or N
if significant digit is an issue, the least number if sig figs is 1 so the answer would be 20 N
Answer:
a) -41.1 Joule
b) 108.38 Kelvin
Explanation:
Pressure = P = 290 Pa
Initial volume of gas = V₁ = 0.62 m³
Final volume of gas = V₂ = 0.21 m³
Initial temperature of gas = T₁ = 320 K
Heat loss = Q = -160 J
Work done = PΔV
⇒Work done = 290×(0.21-0.62)
⇒Work done = -118.9 J
a) Change in internal energy = Heat - Work
ΔU = -160 -(-118.9)
⇒ΔU = -41.1 J
∴ Change in internal energy is -41.1 J
b) V₁/V₂ = T₁/T₂
⇒T₂ = T₁V₂/V₁
⇒T₂ = 320×0.21/0.62
⇒T₂ = 108.38 K
∴ Final temperature of the gas is 108.38 Kelvin
A good way for me to remember things is to study it, and to write it down! Say you want the formula for speed, I would write the formula multiple times on a piece of paper!
Here's a video that I haven't actually watched, I just looked it up! It might help you out though: <span>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Wqrw4G79Kc</span>
