A roller coaster car has 600,00 J of Kinetic energy as it approaches the station to stop. The roller coaster comes to a complete

stop. How much work did the brakes do in stopping the car?

Answer:

Work Done by the Brakes = - 60000 J

Negative sign indicates the opposite direction of force and displacement.

Explanation:

Assuming that frictional effects are negligible, we can say that all the work done by the brakes is used to stop the car. We can apply law of conservation of energy to this situation as follows:

Work Done by the Brakes = Change in Kinetic Energy

Work Done by the Brakes = Final Kinetic Energy - Initial Kinetic Energy

Final Kinetic Energy of the roller coaster will be 0. Because, the roller coaster will stop finally and its velocity will become zero.

Work Done by the Brakes = 0 J - 60000 J

<u>Work Done by the Brakes = - 60000 J</u>

<u>Negative sign indicates the opposite direction of force and displacement.</u>

If a car has a mass of 200 kilograms and produces a force of 500 N, how fast will the car accelerate?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

2.5m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of car  = 200kg

Force on car  = 500N

Unknown:

Acceleration of the car  = ?

Solution:

According to Newton's second law of motion:

      Force  = mass x acceleration

Insert the given parameters and find the acceleration;

         500  = 200 x acceleration

           acceleration = 2.5m/s²

When 597 J of heat are added to a gas, it expands. Its internal energy increases by 318 J. How much work does the gas do? (Unit=
damaskus [11]

The magnitude of work done by the gas is 279 J and the sign is negative so W = -279 J as work is done by the system.

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to first law of thermodynamics, the change in internal energy of the system is equal to the sum of the heat energy added or released from the system with the work done on or by the system. If the heat energy is added to the system to perform a certain work, then the heat energy is taken as positive, while it will be negative when the heat energy is released from the system.

Similarly, in this case, the heat energy of 597 J is added to the system. So the heat energy will be positive, while the gas expansion occurs means work is done by the system.

          ΔU = Q+W

Since ΔU is the change in internal energy which is given as 318 J and the heat energy added to the system is Q = 597 J.

Then the work done by the gas = ΔU - Q = 318 J - 597 J = - 279 J.

As the work is done by the system, so it will be denoted in negative sign and the magnitude of work done by the gas is 279 J.

The expansion of the universe has also been compared to the inflation of a balloon. Suppose that before you inflate the balloon,
Alona [7]

Answer:

That the universe (the balloon for this case) is expanding and that is the reason why the galaxies (the dots) appear to move away one from another.

Explanation:

By means of looking at the spectra of galaxies, it can confirm that they are moving away in an accelerated motion.  

Spectral lines will be shifted to the blue part of the spectrum if the source of the observed light is moving toward the observer, or to the red part of the spectrum when it is moving away from the observer (that is known as the Doppler effect). The source in this particular case is represented for each of the galaxies.      

                           

Hence, the redshift represents this shift of the spectral lines to red part in the spectrum of a galaxy or any object which is moving away. That is a direct confirmation of how the universe is in an expanding accelerated motion.

The redshift can be define in analitic way by trought the doppler velocity:

v = c\frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda_{0}}  (1)      

Where \Delta \lambda is the wavelength shift, \lambda_{0} is the wavelength at rest, v is the velocity of the source and c is the speed of light.

v = c(\frac{\lambda_{measured}-\lambda_{0}}{\lambda_{0}})

\frac{v}{c} = \frac{\lambda_{measured}-\lambda_{0}}{\lambda_{0}}  

z = \frac{\lambda_{measured}-\lambda_{0}}{\lambda_{0}} (2)

Where z is the redshift.      

                                           

The ballon example, once that it is inflating, represents how is the universe which it is expanding and that is the reason why the galaxies (the dots) appear to move away one from another.
