Answer:

Wt = 26.84 [N]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use the definition of work in physics. Which tells us that this is equal to the product of force by distance.

In this case, we must sum the works of the force applied by the box and the friction force that also acts on the box.

The friction force is defined as the product of the normal force by the coefficient of friction.

f = N*μ

where:

N = normal force = m*g [N] (units of Newtons)

m = mass = 72 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

f = friction force [N]

μ = friction coefficient = 0.21

f = 72*9.81*0.21

f = 148.32 [N]

Now the total work:

Wt = WF - Wf

where:

Wt = total work [J] (units of Joules)

WF = work by the pushing force [J]

Wf = work done by the friction force [J]

Wt = (160*2.3) - (148.32*2.3)

Wt = 26.84 [N]

Note: The friction force exerts a negative work, because this force is acting in opposite direction to the movement, therefore the negative sign.

Heat transfers energy from a hot object to a cold object. Both objects are isolated from their surroundings. The change in entro
aniked [119]

To develop this problem we will start from the definition of entropy as a function of total heat, temperature. This definition is mathematically described as

S = \frac{Q}{T}

Here,

Q = Total Heat

T = Temperature

The total change of entropy from a cold object to a hot object is given by the relationship,

\Delta S = \frac{Q}{T_{cold}}-\frac{Q}{T_{hot}}

From this relationship we can realize that the change in entropy by the second law of thermodynamics will be positive. Therefore the temperature in the hot body will be higher than that of the cold body, this implies that this term will be smaller than the first, and in other words it would imply that the magnitude of the entropy 'of the hot body' will always be less than the entropy 'cold body'

Change in entropy \Delta S_{hot} is smaller than \Delta S_{cold}

Therefore the correct answer is C. Will always have a smaller magnitude than the change in entropy of the cold object

Vesna [10]

Answer:

Tangential speed=5.4 m/s

Radial acceleration=88.6m/s^2

Explanation:

We are given that

Angular speed=2.59 rev/s

We know that

1 revolution=2\pi rad

2.59 rev=2\pi\times 2.59=5.18\pi=5.18\times 3.14=16.27 rad/s

By using \pi=3.14

Angular velocity=\omega=16.27rad/s

Distance from axis=r=0.329 m

Tangential speed=r\omega=16.27\times 0.329=5.4m/s

Radial acceleration=\frac{v^2}{r}

Radial acceleration=\frac{(5.4)^2}{0.329}=88.6m/s^2

Which will increase the kinetic energy of an object more, increasing its mass or increasing its speed? Why?
agasfer [191]
Increasing its velocity will add to the kinetic energy more as the formula for kinetic energy is 0.5*m*v^2. (The speed will be squared making it greater)
