The thermal efficiency of an engine is
where
W is the work done by the engine
Q is the heat absorbed by the engine to do the work
In this problem, the work done by the engine is W=200 J, while the heat exhausted is Q=600 J, so the efficiency of the machine is
Answer:
The magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push
Explanation:
Since the crate moves at a constant speed, there is no net acceleration and thus, my push is balanced by the frictional force on the crate. So, the magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push.
Let F = push and f = frictional force and f' = net force
F - f = f' since the crate moves at constant speed, acceleration is zero and thus f' = ma = m (0) = 0
So, F - f = 0
Thus, F = f
So, the magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push.
Answer:
a) v₁fin = 3.7059 m/s (→)
b) v₂fin = 1.0588 m/s (→)
Explanation:
a) Given
m₁ = 0.5 Kg
L = 70 cm = 0.7 m
v₁in = 0 m/s ⇒ Kin = 0 J
v₁fin = ?
h<em>in </em>= L = 0.7 m
h<em>fin </em>= 0 m ⇒ U<em>fin</em> = 0 J
The speed of the ball before the collision can be obtained as follows
Einitial = Efinal
⇒ Kin + Uin = Kfin + Ufin
⇒ 0 + m*g*h<em>in</em> = 0.5*m*v₁fin² + 0
⇒ v₁fin = √(2*g*h<em>in</em>) = √(2*(9.81 m/s²)*(0.70 m))
⇒ v₁fin = 3.7059 m/s (→)
b) Given
m₁ = 0.5 Kg
m₂ = 3.0 Kg
v₁ = 3.7059 m/s (→)
v₂ = 0 m/s
v₂fin = ?
The speed of the block just after the collision can be obtained using the equation
v₂fin = 2*m₁*v₁ / (m₁ + m₂)
⇒ v₂fin = (2*0.5 Kg*3.7059 m/s) / (0.5 Kg + 3.0 Kg)
⇒ v₂fin = 1.0588 m/s (→)
