Answer:

Q = 636.48 J

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of gold, m = 0.052 kg

The temperature increase from 30°C to 120°C.

The specific heat of gold is 136 J/kg °C.

We need to find the heat needed to warm the gold. The formula for heat needed is given by :

$Q=mc\Delta T\\\\Q=0.052\times 136\times (120-30)\\\\Q=636.48\ J$

So, 636.48 J of heat is needed to warm gold.

Two tugboats pull a disabled supertanker. Each tug exerts a constant force of 1.8×106N , one an angle 11degrees west of north an

sp2606 [1]

Answer: 2,9 ×10¹⁰J.

Explanation:

1. The work is a measure of energy and is calculated as the product of the displacement times the parallel force to such displacement.

That means that the only components of the force that contribute to work are those that result parallel to the displacement.

2. Since it is given that the two tugboats "pull the tanker a distance 0.83km toward the north", that is the displacement, and you have to calculate the net force toward the north.

3. Tugboat #1.

a) Force magnitude: F₁ = 1.8×10⁶N

b) Angle: α = 11° West of North

c) North component of the force F₁: Fy₁ = F₁cos(α) = 1.8×10⁶N × cos(11°) = 1.77×10⁶N

4. Tugboat #2:

a) Force magnitude: F₂ = 1.8×10⁶N

b) Angle: = 11° East of North

c) North component of the force F₂: Fy₂ = F₂cos(β) = 1.8×10⁶N × cos(11°) = 1.77×10⁶N =

5. Total net force, Fn:

Fn = Fy₁ + Fy₂ = 1.77×10⁶N + 1.77×10⁶N = 3.54×10⁶N

6. Work, W:

Displacement, d = 0.83 km = 8,300 m

W = Fn×d = 3.54×10⁶N×8,300m = 29,000 ×10⁶J = 2,9 ×10¹⁰J

The answer is rounded to two significant figures because both data, Force and displacement, have two significant figures.

Identify and compare 4 Fundamental forces (lesson 1.04)

Tom [10]

4 fundamental forses are: strong, electro-magnetic, weak, gravity.
The strong force is the force which can hold nucleus together against enormous forces of repulsion of the protons is strong indeed. In comparasing to electro magnetic force, this force in not an inverse square and it has very short range.
The electro-magnetic force manifests itself as trough the forces between charges(Colubos law) and the magnetic force, both of which are summarized in the Lorentz force law. The electro-magnetic force holds atoms and moleculs together.
The weak force is a force between elementary particles certain processes that take place with low probability, as radio-active beta-decay and collisions between neutrinos and other particles.
The gravity force is the weakest of all 4 fundamental forces. It is the force of attraction between all masses in the universe, especially the attraction of the earth's mass for bodies near its suface. Newton's law of gravity states that gravitational force between two bodies is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Engineers tasked with building a car bumper need high-quality plastic that is readily available. They found the material polycar

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The material must be durable (quality of the material requirement)

Explanation:

The design criteria set for the materials used for technological design are;

1) The materials should be affordable (less costly)

2) The materials should be last for a long duration (high durability)

3) The material should be readily available (easily sourced)

Therefore, given that the engineers initially had the criteria for the required plastic to be of high quality and to be readily available, and that the poly-carbonate they found is long lasting and not too costly, the criteria met that was set initially was the quality criteria of durability.

In a shipping yard, a crane operator attaches a cable to a 1,400 kg shipping container and then uses the crane to lift the conta

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of crane $m=1400\ kg$

distance moved $d=40\ m$

Since it is moving with a constant velocity therefore net force on it is zero

Tension force=weight

T=mg

Work done by Tension T is

$W_T=T\cdot d$

$W_T=1400\times 9.8\cdot 40$

$W_T=548.8\ KJ$

Work done by Gravity will be equal in magnitude but opposite in sign and can be obtained by work energy theorem which states that change in kinetic energy of object is equal to work done by all the forces

$W_T+W_g=0$
