A system gains 757 kJ757 kJ of heat, resulting in a change in internal energy of the system equal to +176 kJ.+176 kJ. How much w

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

581 kJ, work was done by the system

Explanation:

According to the first law of thermodynamics:

$\Delta U = Q-W$

where

$\Delta U$ is the change in internal energy of the system

Q is the heat absorbed by the system (positive if absorbed, negative if released)

W is the work done by the system (positive if done by the system, negative if done by the surrounding)

In this problem,

$Q=+757 kJ$

$\Delta U = +176 kJ$

Therefore the work done by the system is

$W=Q-\Delta U=757 kJ-176 kJ=+581 kJ$

And the positive sign means the work is done BY the system.

A proud new Jaguar owner drives her car at a speed of 25 m/s into a corner. The coefficients of friction between the road and th

ehidna [41]

Answer:

ac = 3.92 m/s²

Explanation:

In this case the frictional force must balance the centripetal force for the car not to skid. Therefore,

Frictional Force = Centripetal Force

where,

Frictional Force = μ(Normal Force) = μ(weight) = μmg

Centripetal Force = (m)(ac)

Therefore,

μmg = (m)(ac)

ac = μg

where,

ac = magnitude of centripetal acceleration of car = ?

μ = coefficient of friction of tires (kinetic) = 0.4

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

ac = (0.4)(9.8 m/s²)

1. A stationary 50 tonne submarine fires a missile of mass 40kg at

White raven [17]

The velocity of the submarine immediately after firing the missile is 0.0104 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of the submarine M=50 tonne= $50\times 1000=50000kg$

Mass of the missile m=40 kg

velocity of the missile v= 13m/s

we have to calculate the velocity of the submarine after firing

This is the recoil velocity and its expression is derived from the law of conservation of momentum

recoil velocity of the submarine

$V=-mv/M\\=-40\times 13/50000\\=0.0104 m/s$

Robert has just bought a new model rocket, and is trying to measure its flight characteristics. The rocket engine package claims

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The work done by the drag force is given by 29.96 J

Explanation:

Given :

Thrust force $F = 12.3$ N

Displacement $d = 10.2$ m

Mass of rocket $m = 0.663$ Kg

From work energy theorem,

$W = \Delta K$

$W_{t} - Wd - W_{g} = KE$

Where $W_{t} =$ thrust work $W_{g} =$ gravitational work

$KE = 12.3 \times 10.2 -Wd - 0.663 \times 9.8 \times 10.2$

$KE = 59.2 -Wd$

After cutoff kinetic energy is converted into potential energy,

$KE = Wd' + mg\Delta h$

Put value of KE

$59.2 -Wd = Wd' + 0.663 \times 9.8 \times 4.5$

Work done by drag force is given by,

$Wd'+Wd = 59.2 -29.23$

$= 29.96$ J

Therefore, the work done by the drag force is given by 29.96 J
