A boat with a horizontal tow rope pulls a waterskier. She skis off to the side, the rope makes an angle of 15° with the forward

direction of motion. If the tension in the rope is 180 N, how much work does the rope two on the scare during the forward displacement of 300 m?

Answer:

<h3>13,976.23Joules</h3>

Explanation:

Workdone by the rope is expressed using the formula;

W = Fd sin(theta)

F is the tension in the rope = 180

d is the displacement = 300m

theta is the angle of inclination = 15°

Substitute the given parameters into the formula;

W = 180(300)sin15

W = 54000sin 15

W = 13,976.23

Hence the workdone by the rope is 13,976.23Joules

An engine that has an efficiency of 25% takes in 200 [J] of heat during each cycle. Calculate the amount of work this engine per
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

W=50J

Explanation:

The work done W and the energy taken Q_{in} by a heat engine are related to the efficiency \eta by the expression

\eta=\frac{W}{Q_{in}}

The efficiency is \eta=25%, the numerical form of this percentage is 0.25 and the energy taken is Q_{in}=200J. Replacing in the formula:

0.25=\frac{W}{200}\\W=200*0.25\\W=50J

(b) Suppose at a certain instant the kinetic energy is twice the elastic potential energy. Write an equation describing this sit
timurjin [86]

Answer:

1/2mv² = ke²

Explanation:

Let's suppose the material in question is a spring with spring constant k, mass m and position k, the kinetic energy possessed by the string will be;

K.E = 1/2mass×velocity² i.e 1/2mv²

Its elastic potential energy will be the work done on the spring when stretched which is equal to 1/2kx²

E.P = 1/2kx²

The equation describing the case where the kinetic energy is twice the elastic potential energy will be;

K.E = 2EP... 1)

Substituting the KE and EP formula into (1), we have;

1/2mv² = 2(1/2ke²)

1/2mv² = ke² which gives the required equation

By what potential difference must a proton [m_0 = 1.67E-27 kg) be accelerated to have a wavelength lambda = 4.23E-12 m? By what
Vinil7 [7]

Explanation:

1. Mass of the proton, m_p=1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg

Wavelength, \lambda_p=4.23\times 10^{-12}\ m

We need to find the potential difference. The relationship between potential difference and wavelength is given by :

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2m_pq_pV}}

V=\dfrac{h^2}{2q_pm_p\lambda^2}

V=\dfrac{(6.62\times 10^{-34})^2}{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times (4.23\times 10^{-12})^2}

V = 45.83 volts

2. Mass of the electron, m_p=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg

Wavelength, \lambda_p=4.23\times 10^{-12}\ m

We need to find the potential difference. The relationship between potential difference and wavelength is given by :

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2m_eq_eV}}

V=\dfrac{h^2}{2q_em_e\lambda^2}

V=\dfrac{(6.62\times 10^{-34})^2}{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times (4.23\times 10^{-12})^2}

V=6.92\times 10^{34}\ V

V = 84109.27 volt

Hence, this is the required solution.

A gas expands against a constant external pressure of 2.00 atm until its volume has increased from 6.00 to 10.00 L. During this
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

ΔU = - 310.6 J (negative sign indicates decrease in internal energy)

W = 810.6 J

Explanation:

a.

Using first law of thermodynamics:

Q = ΔU + W

where,

Q = Heat Absorbed = 500 J

ΔU = Change in Internal Energy of Gas = ?

W = Work Done = PΔV =

P = Pressure = 2 atm = 202650 Pa

ΔV = Change in Volume = 10 L - 6 L = 4 L = 0.004 m³

Therefore,

Q = ΔU + PΔV

500 J = ΔU + (202650 Pa)(0.004 m³)

ΔU = 500 J - 810.6 J

<u>ΔU = - 310.6 J (negative sign indicates decrease in internal energy)</u>

<u></u>

b.

The work done can be simply calculated as:

W = PΔV

W = (202650 Pa)(0.004 m³)

<u>W = 810.6 J</u>
