Jen pushed a box for a distance of 80m with 20 N of force. How much work did she do?
Drupady [299]
The answer is 1,600 J.

A work (W) can be expressed as a product of a force (F) and a distance (d):
W = F · d<span>

We have:
W = ?
F = 20 N = 20 kg*m/s</span>²
d = 80 m
_____
W = 20 kg*m/s² * 80 m
W = 20 * 80 kg*m/s² * m
W = 1600 kg*m²/s²
W = 1600 J

4. An electric iron has a
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

4.

a) W = 750 J

b) W = 2250 J

c) t = 2 sec

5. Answered in explanation

Explanation:

4.

The formula of power is given as:

P = W/t

where,

P = Power

W = Work Done

t = Time Taken

a)

Here,

P = 750 W

t = 1 sec

W = ?

Therefore,

750 W = W/1 sec

<u>W = 750 J</u>

b)

Here,

P = 750 W

t = 3 sec

W = ?

Therefore,

750 W = W/3 sec

W = (750 W)(3 sec)

<u>W = 2250 J</u>

c)

Here,

P = 750 W

t = ?

W = 1500 J

Therefore,

750 W = 1500 J/t

t = 1500 J/750 W

<u>t = 2 sec</u>

<u></u>

According to Kinetic Particle Theory, the molecules are tightly packed with each other, by strong inter-molecular forces and they can only vibrate at their position. While, molecules or particles in liquids have lesser attractive forces among them. They can move in layers and can take the shape of any container. <u>This is the reason why solid has a definite shape and liquid has none.</u>

To make ice, a freezer that is a reverse Carnot engine extracts 37 kJ as heat at -17°C during each cycle, with coefficient of pe
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

a) 6.4 kJ

b) 43.4 kJ

Explanation:

a)

Q_{a} = Heat absorbed = 37 kJ

β  = Coefficient of performance = 5.8

W = Work done

Heat absorbed is given as

Q_{a} = β W

37 = (5.8) W

W = 6.4 kJ

b)

Q  = work per cycle required

Q  = Q_{a} + W

Q  = 37 + 6.4

Q  = 43.4 kJ
