Answer:

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 20 × 9.8 × 2

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Answer:

<u>The magnitude of the friction force is 8197.60 N</u>

Explanation:

Using the definition of the centripetal force we have:

$\Sigma F=ma_{c}=m\frac{v^{2}}{R}$

Where:

m is the mass of the car
v is the speed
R is the radius of the curvature

Now, the force acting in the motion is just the friction force, so we have:

$F_{f}=m\frac{v^{2}}{R}$

$F_{f}=2100\frac{18^{2}}{83}$

$F_{f}=8197.60 \: N$

<u>Therefore the magnitude of the friction force is 8197.60 N</u>

I hope it helps you!

With the piston head locked in place, will the volume of the gas increase, decrease, or stay the same whenthe piston is placed a

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

For real gas the volume of a given mass of gas will increase with increase in temperature.

Explanation:

With the piston head locked in place and place above the fire,the volume of the gas will increase,because the volume of a given mass of gas increases with increase temperature.

Answer:

57,42 KJ

Explanation:

By a isobaric proces, the expresion for the works in the jpg adjunt. Then:

W = Pa(Vb - Va) = Pa*Vb - Pa*Va ---(1)

By the ideal gases law: PV=RTn

Then, in (1): (remember Pa = Pb)

W = R*Tb*n - R*T*an = R*n*(Tb - Ta) --- (2)

Since we have 1 Kg air: How much is this in moles?

From bibliography: 28.96 g/mol

Then, in 1 Kg (1000 g) there are:

n = 34,53 mol

Finally, in (2):

W = (8,3144 J/K.mol)*(34,53 mol)*(500K - 300K) = 51 419,9 J ≈ 57,42 KJ
