Answer:

a) The work done by the force is 720 joules, b) The power supplied by the force is 138 watts.

Explanation:

a) Since force is uniform and parallel to the direction of motion, the work (W), in joules, done by the force (F), in newtons, is defined by this formula:

W = F\cdot s (1)

Where s is the travelled distance, in meters.

If we know that F = 60\,N and s = 12\,m, then the work done by the force is:

W = F\cdot s

W = (60\,N)\cdot (12\,m)

W = 720\,J

The work done by the force is 720 joules.

b) And an expression for the power supplied by the force (\dot W), in watts, is concieved by differentiating (1) in time:

\dot W = F\cdot \dot s

Where \dot s is the speed of the wagon, in meters per second.

If we know that F = 60\,N and \dot s = 2.3\,\frac{m}{s}, then the power supplied by the force is:

\dot W = F\cdot \dot s

\dot W = (60\,N)\cdot \left(2.3\,\frac{m}{s} \right)

\dot W = 138\,W

The power supplied by the force is 138 watts.

Answer:

temperature on left side is 1.48 times the temperature on right

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

\gamma = 5/3

T1 = 525 K

T2 = 275 K

We know that

P_1 = \frac{nRT_1}{v}

P_2 = \frac{nrT_2}{v}

n and v remain same at both side. so we have

\frac{P_1}{P_2} = \frac{T_1}{T_2} = \frac{525}{275} = \frac{21}{11}

P_1 = \frac{21}{11} P_2 ..............1

let final pressure is P and temp  T_1 {f} and T_2 {f}

P_1^{1-\gamma} T_1^{\gamma} = P^{1 - \gamma}T_1 {f}^{\gamma}

P_1^{-2/3} T_1^{5/3} = P^{-2/3} T_1 {f}^{5/3} ..................2

similarly

P_2^{-2/3} T_2^{5/3} = P^{-2/3} T_2 {f}^{5/3} .............3

divide 2 equation by 3rd equation

\frac{21}{11}^{-2/3} \frac{21}{11}^{5/3} = [\frac{T_1 {f}}{T_2 {f}}]^{5/3}

T_1 {f} = 1.48 T_2 {f}

thus, temperature on left side is 1.48 times the temperature on right

With what magnitude of force does a ball of mass 0.75 kilograms need to be hit so that it accelerates at the rate of 25 meters/s
serious [3.7K]

     Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

               = (0.75 kg) x (25 m/s²)

               =  (0.75 x 25)  kg-m/s²

               =    18.75 newtons .

Note that even though we're talking about a 'hit', the acceleration only
lasts as long as the bat is in contact with the ball.  Once the ball leaves
the bat, it travels at whatever speed it had at the instant when they parted. 
Any change in its speed or direction after that is the result of gravity, air
resistance, and the fielder's mitt.  I learned a lot about these things a few
weeks ago, since I live in Chicago, about 6 miles from Wrigley Field, in
a house full of Cubs fans.

What are advantages and disadvantages of apparent solar time? How is the situation improved by introducing mean solar time and s
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Advantage:  

Apparent solar time gives the exact location of sun in the sky according to your precise location.

Disadvantage:  

As the apparent solar time changes with the change in longitude. It is very difficult to track these changes in longitude. Hence, it is almost impossible to make plan for events.

Improvement in situation:

Situation can be improved using mean solar time because due to this people living in the longitude band agree upon a standard time. In this way, it is easy to plan for events.
