Answer:

weight at height = 100 N .

Explanation:

The problem relates to variation of weight  due to change in height .

Let g₀ and g₁ be acceleration due to gravity , m is mass of the object .

At the surface :

Applying Newton's law of gravitation

mg₀ = G Mm / R²

At height h from centre

mg₁ = G Mm /h²

Given mg₀ = 400 N

400 = G Mm / R²

400 = G Mm / (6400 x 10³ )²

G Mm = 400 x (6400 x 10³ )²

At height h from centre

mg₁ =  400 x (6400 x 10³ )²/ ( 2 x 6400 x 10³)²

= 400 / 4

= 100 N .

weight at height = 100 N

Five hundred joules of heat are added to a closed system. The initial internal energy of the system is 87 J, and the final inter
Aleonysh [2.5K]

We can solve the problem by using the first law of thermodynamics:

\Delta U= Q-W

where

\Delta U is the variation of internal energy of the system

Q is the heat added to the system

W is the work done by the system

In this problem, the variation of internal energy of the system is

\Delta U=U_f-U_i=134 J-87 J=47 J

While the heat added to the system is

Q=500 J

therefore, the work done by the system is

W=Q-\Delta U=500 J-47 J=453 J
