Answer:

a) 500 J

Explanation:

Potential energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position.

Mathematically, potential energy is given by the formula;

$P.E = mgh$

Where,

P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

In Science, the potential energy possessed by an object or body is the same as the work done by the object or body.

Since we know that the object possessed 500 Joules of potential energy; it would ultimately require to do a work of 500 Joules to lift the object.

Mathematically, work done = force * distance

But force = mass * acceleration due to gravity

F = mg; d = h

Substituting into the work done formula, we have;

Hence, Workdone = Fd = mgh

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

c) $F_{net} = 0.640 kN$

Explanation:

As we know that resultant force is the net force that is acting on the system

As per Newton's II law we know that net force is product of mass and acceleration

so we will have

$F_{net} = ma$

here we know

m = 80 kg

for circular motion acceleration is given as

$a_c = \frac{v^2}{R}$

$a_c = \frac{40^2}{200} = 8 m/s^2$

now we have

$F_{net} = 80 \times 8$

$F_{net} = 640 N$

$F_{net} = 0.640 kN$

Sheila uses a 45N force on her bowling ball across a 15m lane. What work did she do on the bowling ball? Show your work.

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

675J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force = 45N

Distance = 15m

Unknown:

Work done by Sheila = ?

Solution:

Work done by a body is the amount of force applied to make a body move through a distance;

Work done = Force x distance

Now;

Work done = 45 x 15 = 675J

rewona [7]

Answer:

$\dot{m_{2}}=0.865 kg/s$

Explanation:

$\dot{m_1}= 0.5kg/s$

from steam tables , at 250 kPa, and at

T₁ = 80⁰C ⇒ h₁ = 335.02 kJ/kg

T₂ = 20⁰C⇒ h₂ = 83.915 kJ/kg

T₃ = 42⁰C ⇒ h₃ = 175.90 kJ/kg

we know

$\dot{m_{in}}=\dot{m_{out}}$

$\dot{m_{1}}+\dot{m_{2}}=\dot{m_{3}}$

according to energy balance equation

$\dot{m_{in}}h_{in}=\dot{m_{out}}h_{out}$

$\dot{m_{1}}h_{1}+\dot{m_{2}}h_{2}=\dot{m_{3}}h_{3}$

$\dot{m_{1}}h_{1}+\dot{m_{2}}h_{2}=(\dot{m_{1}}+\dot{m_{2}})h_{3}\\(0.5\times 335.02)+(\dot{m_{2}}\times 83.915)=(0.5+\dot{m_{2}})175.90\\\dot{m_{2}}=0.865 kg/s$
