A machine that operates a ride at the fair requires 2500 J to lift a 294 N child 5.0 m. What is the efficiency of this machine?

Answer:

η = 58.8%

Explanation:

Work is defined as the force applied by the distance traveled by the body.

W =F*d

where:

W = work [J] (units of joules)

F = force = 294 [N]

d = distance = 5 [m]

W = 294*5\\W = 1470 [J]\\

Efficiency is defined as the energy required to perform an activity in relation to the energy actually added to perform some activity. This can be better understood by means of the following equation.

efficiency = W_{done}/W_{required}\\efficiency = 1470/2500\\efficiency = 0.588 = 58.8%

A woman can row her canoe at 2.5 m/s. If she faces an opposing current of 3.0 m/s, how fast will she go forward?
taurus [48]

Answer:

V = - 0.5 [m/s]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the principle of relative speeds. This is for an observer who is on the edge of the river he can see how the river moves to the left and the woman tries to move to the right but can not since:

V_{total}=-3+2.5\\V_{total}=-0.5 [m/s]

That is, the person sees how the woman moves to the left but with avelocity of 0.5 [m/s] to the left

Two concrete spans of a 380 m long bridge are
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

4.163 m

Explanation:

Since the length of the bridge is

L = 380 m

And the bridge consists of 2 spans, the initial length of each span is

L_i = \frac{L}{2}=\frac{380}{2}=190 m

Due to the increase in temperature, the length of each span increases according to:

L_f = L_i(1+ \alpha \Delta T)

where

L_i = 190 m is the initial length of one span

\alpha =1.2\cdot 10^{-5} ^{\circ}C^{-1} is the temperature coefficient of thermal expansion

\Delta T=20^{\circ}C is the increase in temperature

Substituting,

L_f=(190)(1+(1.2\cdot 10^{-5})(20))=190.0456 m

By using Pythagorean's theorem, we can find by how much the height of each span rises due to this thermal expansion (in fact, the new length corresponds to the hypothenuse of a right triangle, in which the base is the original length of the spand, and the rise in heigth is the other side); so we find:

h=\sqrt{L_f^2-L_i^2}=\sqrt{(190.0456)^2-(190)^2}=4.163 m

Based on the second law of thermodynamics, how would you expect a system to change over time?
deff fn [24]

B. It's randomness would increase

Because the Second Law of Thermodynamics states that as energy is transferred or transformed, more and more of it is wasted. It also states that there is a natural tendency of any isolated system to degenerate into a more disordered state.
