The height difference is found by
Then the change in potential energy is
The ratio of the distance moved by the point at which the effort is applied in a simple machine to the distance moved by the point at which the load is applied, in the same time. In the case of an ideal (frictionless and weightless) machine, velocity ratio = mechanical advantage. Velocity ratio is sometimes called distance ratio.
Answer:
A) Energy is tranferred from Joey to the water. The temperature of the water increases.
Explanation:
At first Joey jumps and gains a height above the water level of the pool, this way has an energy potential initial, as Joey falls into the water his speed is increased that is to say its energy potential is transformed into kinetic energy, and at the moment of impact with the water, this energy kinetic is transformed into heat which is transferred to the water. Therefore the temperature increment.
Note: This is one of the reasons why space agencies are studying spatial asteroids that are directed toward the earth, as these come with great kinetic energy, and great potential energy, if these are of a considerable size can cause catastrophic damage, even if they fall into the ocean, due to the large amount of energy which can cause the instantaneous evaporation of large amounts of water and collateral damage in other areas.
Complete question:
(b) How much energy must be supplied to boil 2kg of water? providing that the specific latent heat of vaporization of water is 330 kJ/kg. The initial temperature of the water is 20 ⁰C
Answer:
The energy that must be supplied to boil the given mass of the water is 672,000 J
Explanation:
Given;
mass of water, m = 2 kg
heat of vaporization of water, L = 330 kJ/kg
initial temperature of water, t = 20 ⁰C
specific heat capacity of water, c = 4200 J/kg⁰C
Assuming no mass of the water is lost through vaporization, the energy needed to boil the given water is calculated as;
Q = mc(100 - 20)
Q = 2 x 4200 x (80)
Q = 672,000 J
Q = 672,000 J
Q = 672,000 J
Therefore, the energy that must be supplied to boil the given mass of the water is 672,000 J
