Answer:

Heat can travel from one place to another in three ways: Conduction, Convection and Radiation. Both conduction and convection require matter to transfer heat. Conduction is the transfer of heat between substances that are in direct contact with each other. Thermal energy is transferred from hot places to cold places by convection. Radiation is a method of heat transfer that does not rely upon any contact between the heat source and the heated object as is the case with conduction and convection. Heat can be transmitted through empty space by thermal radiation often called infrared radiation.

• How much work is<br>required to lift a 2kg<br>object 2m high?<br>

pychu [463]

Answer You need to consider that the gravity on earth is 9.8 m/s/s. This means any object you let go on the earths surface will gain 9.8 m/s of speed every second. You need to apply a force on the object in the opposite direction to avoid this acceleration. If you are pushing something up at a constant speed, you are just resisting earths acceleration. The more massive and object is, the greater force is needed to accelerate it. The equation is Force = mass*acceleration. So for a 2kg object in a 9.8 m/s/s gravity you need 2kg*9.8m/s/s = 19.6 Newtons to counteract gravity. Work or energy = force * distance. So to push with 19.6 N over a distance of 2 meters = 19.6 N*2 m = 39.2 Joules of energy. There is an equation that puts together those two equations I just used and it is E = mgh

The amount of Energy to lift an object is (mass) * (acceleration due to gravity) * (height)

:Hence, the Work done to life the mass of 2 kg to a height of 10 m is 196 J. Hope it helps❤️❤️❤️

A 1.8-kg object is attached to a spring and placed on frictionless, horizontal surface. A force of 40 N stretches a spring 20 cm

Sergio [31]

Answer:

a) k = 200 N/m

b) E = 4 J

c) Δx = 6.3 cm

Explanation:

In order to find force constant of the spring, k, we can use the the Hooke's Law, which reads as follows:

$F = - k * \Delta x (1)$

where F = 40 N and Δx =- 0.2 m (since the force opposes to the displacement from the equilibrium position, we say that it's a restoring force).
Solving for k:

$k =- \frac{F}{\Delta x} =-\frac{40 N}{-0.2m} = 200 N/m (2)$

Assuming no friction present, total mechanical energy mus keep constant.
When the spring is stretched, all the energy is elastic potential, and can be expressed as follows:

$U = \frac{1}{2}* k* (\Delta x)^{2} (3)$

Replacing k and Δx by their values, we get:

$U = \frac{1}{2}* k* (\Delta x)^{2} = \frac{1}{2}* 200 N/m* (0.2m)^{2} = 4 J (4)$

When the object is oscillating, at any time, its energy will be part elastic potential, and part kinetic energy.
We know that due to the conservation of energy, this sum will be equal to the total energy that we found in b).
So, we can write the following expression:

$\frac{1}{2}* k* \Delta x_{1} ^{2} + \frac{1}{2} * m* v^{2} = \frac{1}{2}*k*\Delta x^{2} (5)$

Replacing the right side of (5) with (4), k, m, and v by the givens, and simplifying, we can solve for Δx₁, as follows:

$\frac{1}{2}* 200N/m* \Delta x_{1} ^{2} + \frac{1}{2} * 1.8kg* (-2.0m/s)^{2} = 4J (6)$

⇒ $\frac{1}{2}* 200N/m* \Delta x_{1} ^{2} = 4J - 3.6 J = 0.4 J (7)$

⇒ $\Delta x_{1} = \sqrt{\frac{0.8J}{200N/m} } = 6.3 cm (8)$

A car is traveling with 90km/hr and another car with 20m/s in opposite direction. Calculate the relative velocity.

Slav-nsk [51]

90 km/h is 25 m/s
the relative velocity when cars are traveling in opposite directions is the sum of the two
25+20= 45 m/s

The formula v = √2.5r models the maximum safe speed, v, in miles per hour, at which a car can travel on a curved road with radiu

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

The maximum safe speed of the car is 30.82 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

The formula that models the maximum safe speed, v, in miles per hour, at which a car can travel on a curved road with radius of curvature r r, is in feet is given by :

$v=\sqrt{2.5\ r}$ .........(1)

A highway crew measures the radius of curvature at an exit ramp on a highway as 380 feet, r = 380 feet

Put the value of r in equation (1) as :

$v=\sqrt{2.5\ \times 380}$

v = 30.82 m/s

So, the maximum safe speed of the car is 30.82 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A rocket weighs 9800N (opposing force) what is it mass? What netforce moves the rocket? What applied force gives it a vertical a

Slav-nsk [51]

For the first part of this question, consider that "weight" can be described as mass x acceleration of gravity. Weight is expressed in Newtons. To solve for mass in this case, simply divide 9800N by 9.8m/s^2 (Earth's gravitational acceleration). This will give you a mass of 1000 kg. This mass is moved due to the net force supplied by the normal force from the rocket "pushing" off of Earth.

For the second part, we will use the equation F = ma, which is Newton's second law. For this, we know the m, or mass, is 1000 kg. Also, we know the a, or acceleration, will be 4 m/s^2. To solve for force, we will multiply both of these values. This gives a force of 4000 N. I hope this clears things up!
