Driving a motor........

chemical energy is converted into kinetic energy.

Falling off of cliff

.........gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

Hydroelectric energy generation

.......gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (i.e. driving a generator), which is then converted into electrical energy.

Nuclear power generation

.........mass is converted into energy, which then drives a steam turbine, which is then converted into electrical energy.

A tank has the shape of an inverted circular cone with height 16m and base radius 3m. The tank is filled with water to a height

rewona [7]

Answer:

$W=17085KJ$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height $H=16m$

Radius $R=3$

Height of water $H_w=9m$

Gravity $g=9.8m/s$

Density of water $\rho=1000kg/m^3$

Generally the equation for Volume of water is mathematically given by

$dv=\pi*r^2dy$

$dv=\frac{\piR^2}{H^2}(H-y)^2dy$

Where

y is a random height taken to define dv

Generally the equation for Work done to pump water is mathematically given by

$dw=(pdv)g (H-y)$

Substituting dv

$dw=(p(=\frac{\piR^2}{H^2}(H-y)^2dy))g (H-y)$

$dw=\frac{\rho*g*R^2}{H^2}(H-y)^3dy$

Therefore

$W=\int dw$

$W=\int(\frac{\rho*g*R^2}{H^2}(H-y)^3)dy$

$W=\rho*g*R^2}{H^2}\int((H-y)^3)dy)$

$W=\frac{1000*9.8*3.142*3^2}{9^2}[((9-y)^3)}^9_0$

$W=3420.84*0.25[2401-65536]$

$W=17084965.5J$

$W=17085KJ$

A cylindrical resistor element on a circuit board dissipates 1.2 W of power. The resistor is 2 cm long, and has a diameter of 0.

34kurt

Answer:

(a) The resistor disspates 103680 joules during a 24-hour period.

(b) The heat flux of the resistor is approximately 4340.589 watts per square meter.

(c) The fraction of heat dissipated from the top and bottom surfaces is 0.045.

Explanation:

(a) The amount of heat dissipated ( $Q$ ), measured in joules, by the cylindrical resistor is the power multiplied by operation time ( $\Delta t$ ), measured in hours. That is:

$Q = \dot Q \cdot \Delta t$ (1)

If we know that $\dot Q = 1.2\,W$ and $\Delta t = 86400\,s$ , then the amount of heat dissipated by the resistor is:

$Q = (1.2\,W)\cdot (86400\,s)$

$Q = 103680\,J$

The resistor disspates 103680 joules during a 24-hour period.

(b) The heat flux ( $Q'$ ), measured in watts per square meter, is the heat transfer rate divided by the area of the cylinder ( $A$ ), measured in square meters:

$Q' = \frac{\dot Q}{A}$ (2)

$Q' = \frac{\dot Q}{\frac{\pi}{2}\cdot D^{2}+\pi\cdot D \cdot h }$ (3)

Where:

$D$ - Diameter, measured in meters.

$h$ - Length, measured in meters.

If we know that $\dot Q = 1.2\,W$ , $D = 4\times 10^{-3}\,m$ and $h = 2\times 10^{-2}\,m$ , the heat flux of the resistor is:

$Q' = \frac{1.2\,W}{\frac{\pi}{2}\cdot (4\times 10^{-3}\,m)^{2}+\pi\cdot (4\times 10^{-3}\,m)\cdot (2\times 10^{-2}\,m) }$

$Q' \approx 4340.589\,\frac{W}{m^{2}}$

The heat flux of the resistor is approximately 4340.589 watts per square meter.

(c) Since heat is uniformly transfered, then the fraction of heat dissipated from the top and bottom surfaces ( $r$ ), no unit, is the ratio of the top and bottom surfaces to total surface:

$r = \frac{\frac{\pi}{2}\cdot D^{2}}{A}$ (3)

If we know that $A \approx 2.765\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2}$ and $D = 4\times 10^{-3}\,m$ , then the fraction is:

$r = \frac{\frac{\pi}{2}\cdot (4\times 10^{-3}\,m)^{2} }{2.765\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2}}$

$r = 0.045$

The fraction of heat dissipated from the top and bottom surfaces is 0.045.

What is the relationship between kinetic energy and changing states of matter?

oee [108]

Answer:

The kinetic molecular theory of matter states that: Matter is made up of particles that are constantly moving. All particles have energy, but the energy varies depending on the temperature the sample of matter is in. This in turn determines whether the substance exists in the solid, liquid, or gaseous state.

The tendency of two masses alone in the universe to drift together is a result of

torisob [31]

It is as a result of gravity. (D)

This is as stated by Newton's law of universal gravitation. That two objects in the universe attract one another with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance apart.

The constant of proportionality is the Universal Gravitational Constant.

G = 6.673 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²kg⁻²
