baherus [9]2 years ago

Answer:

The increase in gravitational potential energy is the same in both cases

Explanation:

It is easier to climb a mountain in a zigzag way rather than climbing on a straight line but since the distance is the same ( vertical height ) , mass and gravity is the same. Hence the increase in gravitational potential energy is the same in both cases.

gravitational potential energy = mgh ( same in both cases )

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = distance ( vertical height )

Two moles of helium are initially at a temperature of 21.0 ∘Cand occupy a volume of 3.30×10−2 m3 . The helium first expands at c
Anettt [7]

Answer:

(B) The total internal energy of the helium is 4888.6 Joules

(C) The total work done by the helium is 2959.25 Joules

(D) The final volume of the helium is 0.066 cubic meter

Explanation:

(B) ∆U = P(V2 - V1)

From ideal gas equation, PV = nRT

T1 = 21°C = 294K, V1 = 0.033m^3, n = 2moles, V2 = 2× 0.033=0.066m^3

P = nRT ÷ V = (2×8.314×294) ÷ 0.033 = 148140.4 Pascal

∆U = 148140.4(0.066 - 0.033) = 4888.6 Joules

(C) P2 = P1(V1÷V2)^1.4 =148140.4(0.033÷0.066)^1.4= 148140.4×0.379=56134.7 Pascal

Assuming a closed system

(C) Wc = (P1V1 - P2V2) ÷ 0.4 = (148140.4×0.033 - 56134.7×0.066) ÷ 0.4 = (4888.6 - 3704.9) ÷ 0.4 = 1183.7 ÷ 0.4 = 2959.25 Joules

(C) Final volume = 2×initial volume = 2×0.033= 0.066 cubic meter

"The International Space Station (ISS) orbits at a distance of 350 km above the surface of the Earth. (a) Determine the gravitat
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

(a) g = 8.82158145m/s^2.

(b) 7699.990192m/s.

(c)5484.3301s = 1.5234 hours.(extremely fast).

Explanation:

(a) Strength of gravitational field 'g' by definition is

g = \frac{M_{(earth)} }{r^2} G , here G is Gravitational Constant, and r is distance from center of earth, all the values will remain same except r which will be radius of earth + altitude at which ISS is in orbit.

r = 6721,000 meters, putting this value in above equation gives g = 8.82158145m/s^2.

(b) We have to essentially calculate centripetal acceleration that equals new 'g'.

a_{centripetal}=\frac{V^2}{r} =g here g is known, r is known and v is unknown.

plugging in r and g in above and solving for unknown gives V = 7699.990192m/s.

(c)  S = vT,  here T is time period or time required to complete one full revolution.

S =  earth's circumfrence , V is calculated in (B) T is unknown.

solving for unknown gives T = 5484.3301s = 1.5234hours.

A 55.0-g aluminum block initially at 27.5 degree C absorbs 725 J of heat. What is the final temperature of the aluminum? Express
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Final temperature of the aluminum = 41.8 °C

Explanation:

We have the equation for energy

      E = mcΔT

Here m = 55 g = 0.055 kg

ΔT = T - 27.5

Specific heat capacity of aluminum = 921.096 J/kg.K

E = 725 J

Substituting

     E = mcΔT

     725 = 0.055 x 921.096 x (T - 27.5)

     T - 27.5 = 14.31

     T = 41.81 ° C = 41.8 °C

Final temperature of the aluminum = 41.8 °C

A running back with a mass of 70 kg travels down the field with a velocity of 5.0 m s . Calculate the kinetic energy of the foot
jarptica [38.1K]

K.E = 1/2 mv²

    =  1/2 (70kg) (5.0ms)²

    =  1 ˣ ( 1750) / 2
