How does work done on an object affect its kinetic energy

1 answer:

5 0

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done on an object by a net force equals the change in kinetic energy of the object. Essentially kinetic energy is the energy used for motion. Interestingly, as work is done on an object, potential energy can be stored in that object. A moving object has kinetic energy because work has been done on it. When work is done energy in one form is transferred to the kinetic energy of the moving object. To stop the object again, the same amount of work would have to be done to bring it back to rest.

A piston/cylinder contains 2 kg of water at 20◦C with a volume of 0.1 m3. By mistake someone locks the piston, preventing it fro

morpeh [17]

Answer:

Final temperature = 250.11 °C

Final volume = 0,1 m3.

Process work = 0

Explanation:

The specific volume in the initial state is: v = 0.1m3/2 kg = 0.05 m3/kg.

This volume is located between the volumes as saturated liquid and saturated steam at 20 °C. For this reason the water is initially in a liquid vapor mixture. As the piston was blocked the volume remains constant and the process is isometric, also known as isocoric process, so the final temperature will be the water temperature at a saturated steam of v=0.05m3/kg, which is obtained by using steam tables for water, by linear interpolation. As follows, using table A-4 of the Cengel book 7th Edition:

v=0.05 m3/kg

v1=0.057061 m3/kg

T1=242.56°C

v2=0.049779 m3/kg

T2=250.35°C

T= $\frac{T2-T1}{v2-v1} x(v-v1)+T1=\frac{250.35°C-242.56°C}{0.049779m3/kg-0.057061m3/kg}x(0.05m3/kg-0.057061m3/kg)+242.56°C=250.11°C$

The process work is zero because there is no change in volume during heating:

W=PxΔv=Px0=0

where

W=process work

P=pressure

Δv=change of volume, is zero because the piston was blocked so the volume remains constant.

.3.3: Populating a vector with a for loop. Write a for loop to populate vector userGuesses with NUM_GUESSES integers. Read integ

Reptile [31]

Answer:

#include <iostream>

#include <vector>

using namespace std;

int main() {

const int NUM_GUESSES = 3;

vector<int> userGuesses(NUM_GUESSES);

int i = 0;

int uGuess = 0;

for(i = 0; i <= userGuesses.size() - 1; i++){

cin >> uGuess;

userGuesses.at(i) = uGuess;

}

cout << endl;

return 0;

}

Explanation:

First inbuilt library were imported. Then inside the main( ) function, 3 was assigned to NUM_GUESSES meaning the user is to guess 3 numbers. Next, a vector was defined with a size of NUM_GUESSES.

Then a for-loop is use to receive user guess via cin and each guess is assigned to the vector.
