Answer:
W = F * s
Work done equals applied force * distance traveled
Apparent weight = M g (1 - sin θ) since some of applied force will lighten sled
μ = coefficient of kinetic friction
F cos θ = force applied to motion of sled
s = distance traveled
[μ M g (1 - sin θ)] cos θ * s = work done in moving sled
Note that F = μ M g if applied force is in the horizontal direction
Answer:
(a) the speed of the block after the bullet embeds itself in the block is 3.226 m/s
(b) the kinetic energy of the bullet plus the block before the collision is 500J
(c) the kinetic energy of the bullet plus the block after the collision is 16.13J
Explanation:
Given;
mass of bullet, m₁ = 0.1 kg
initial speed of bullet, u₁ = 100 m/s
mass of block, m₂ = 3 kg
initial speed of block, u₂ = 0
Part (A)
Applying the principle of conservation linear momentum, for inelastic collision;
m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)
where;
v is the speed of the block after the bullet embeds itself in the block
(0.1 x 100) + (3 x 0) = v (0.1 + 3)
10 = 3.1v
v = 10/3.1
v = 3.226 m/s
Part (B)
Initial Kinetic energy
Ki = ¹/₂m₁u₁² + ¹/₂m₂u₂²
Ki = ¹/₂(0.1 x 100²) + ¹/₂(3 x 0²)
Ki = 500 + 0
Ki = 500 J
Part (C)
Final kinetic energy
Kf = ¹/₂m₁v² + ¹/₂m₂v²
Kf = ¹/₂v²(m₁ + m₂)
Kf = ¹/₂ x 3.226²(0.1 + 3)
Kf = ¹/₂ x 3.226²(3.1)
Kf = 16.13 J
Answer:
1.84 kJ (kilojoules)
Explanation:
A specific heat of 0.46 J/g Cº means that it takes 0.46 Joules of energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram of iron by 1 Cº.
If we want to heat 50 g of iron from 20° C to 100° C, we can make the following calculation:
Heat = (specific heat)*(mass)*(temp change)
Heat = (0.46 J/g Cº)*(50g)*(100° C - 20° C)
[Note how the units cancel to yield just Joules]
Heat = 1840 Joules, or 1.84 kJ
[Note that the number is positive: Energy is added to the system. If we used cold iron to cool 50g of 100° C water, the temperature change would be (Final - Initial) or (20° C - 100° C). The number is -1.84 kJ: the negative means heat was removed from the system (the iron).
