Which term is the rate at which work is done? energy power joules force

1 answer:

6 0

Power is joules per second or J/s when work is measured in joules and time in seconds. The basic unit of power, 1 J/s is called a watt (W), named after James Watt who made important improvements to the steam engine. By definition, a watt is the consumption of one joule of energy per second.

A 0.09-kg lead bullet traveling 182 m/s strikes an armor plate and comes to a stop. If all of the bullet's energy is converted t

Artemon [7]

Answer: Δθ = 127.4 K

Explanation: by using the law of conservation of energy, the kinetic energy of the bullet equals the heat energy on the plate.

Kinetic energy of bullet = mv²/2

Heat energy = mcΔθ

Where m = mass of bullet = 0.09kg, v = velocity of bullet = 182 m/s, c = specific heat capacity of lead bullet = 130 j/kgk

Δθ = change in temperature

mv²/2 = mcΔθ

With 'm' on both sides of the equation, they cancel out each other, hence we have that

v²/2 = cΔθ

v² = 2cΔθ

Δθ= v²/2c

Δθ = (182)²/2×130

Δθ = 33124/260

Δθ = 127.4 K

At some point in an underground horizontal pipe, the speed of water is 2.5m/s and the gauge pressure is 2×104 Pa. What is the ga

lys-0071 [83]

The gauge pressure of the pipe is 2.234 ×10⁴ Pa, if the pipe is changed for another twice the area.

To find the gauge pressure the values given are,

speed of water = 2.5 m/s

Gauge pressure = 2×10⁴ Pa

<h3>What is pressure?</h3>

Definition:

Pressure can be defined as the total applied force per unit of area. The pressure depends both on externally applied force as well the area on which it is applied.

To find the gauge pressure first we have use continuity equation,

A ₁V₁ = A₂V₂

By the given condition: As the area is increased to twice the original area

A ₁V₁ = 2A₁V₂

A₁ gets cancelled on both the sides,

V₂ =V₁/2

=2.5 /2

V₂=1.25 m/s

Then, substituting the values in Bernoulli's equation,

Equation is given as,

P₁ + 1/2 ρV₁² = P₂ + 1/2 ρV₂²

Taking 1/2 ρ as common,

P₂ = 2×10⁴ + 1/2 ×1000×(2.5² -1.25²)

= 2×10⁴ + 2343.75

=22343.75 Pa

=2.234 ×10⁴ Pa

Thus, if the pipe is changed for another twice the area then the gauge pressure is 2.234 ×10⁴ Pa.

In 2002, a gargantuan iceberg broke away from the Ross Ice Sheet in Antarctica. It was approximately a rectangle 218 km long, 25

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

a) 1.25e15 kg

b) 4.17e20 J

c) 44.55 years

Explanation:

To find the volume you need to multiply 218 km * 25 km * 250 m (be careful with units), so the volume is 1.3625e12 m^3, if you multiply this value by the density you will obtain the mass, that is 1.25e15 kg.

To find the energy needed to melt the ice, you use the latent heat, in this case, it is 3.34e5 J/kg. Now you multiply this value by the mass, so you need 4.17e20 J to melt the iceberg.

The surface area of the iceberg is 545e7 m^2, so the ice absorbs 594e9 W, one W is one J/s, so in 12 hours the iceberg absorbs 2.56e16 J, so in 365 days absorbs 9.36e18 J. Now you just divide 4.17e20 J by the amount f energy per year, and obtain 44.55 years.
