Answer:

First law: kinetic energy is used to turn an electric generator

Second law: some thermal energy is lost to the environment as it travels through the system

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics is known as the law of conservation of energy. It states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can only be transferred or changed from one form to another. When thermal energy is used to generate electricity, the kinetic energy of the steam is used to turn the electric generator (thereby producing electrical energy).

The second law of thermodynamics states that energy transfer or transformation leads to an increase in entropy resulting in the loss of energy. This law also states that as energy is transferred or transformed, some is lost in a form that is unusable. When thermal energy is used to generate electricity, some of the thermal energy is lost to the environment as it travels through the system.

A projectile is fired into the air from the top of a 200-m cliff above a valley as shown below. Its initial velocity is 60 m/s a
anastassius [24]

a) y(max)  = 337.76 m

b) t₁ = 5.30 s  the time for y maximum

c)t₂ =  13.60 s  time for y = 0 time when the fly finish

d) vₓ = 30 m/s        vy = - 81.32 m/s

e)x = 408 m

Equations for projectile motion:

v₀ₓ = v₀ * cosα          v₀ₓ = 60*(1/2)     v₀ₓ = 30 m/s   ( constant )

v₀y = v₀ * sinα           v₀y = 60*(√3/2)     v₀y = 30*√3  m/s

a) Maximum height:

The following equation describes the motion in y coordinates

y  =  y₀ + v₀y*t - (1/2)*g*t²      (1)

To find h(max), we need to calculate t₁ ( time for h maximum)

we take derivative on both sides of the equation

dy/dt  = v₀y  - g*t

dy/dt  = 0           v₀y  - g*t₁  = 0    t₁ = v₀y/g

v₀y = 60*sin60°  = 60*√3/2  = 30*√3

g = 9.8 m/s²

t₁ = 5.30 s  the time for y maximum

And y maximum is obtained from the substitution of t₁  in equation (1)

y (max) = 200 + 30*√3 * (5.30)  - (1/2)*9.8*(5.3)²

y (max) = 200 + 275.40 - 137.64

y(max)  = 337.76 m

Total time of flying (t₂)  is when coordinate y = 0

y = 0 = y₀  + v₀y*t₂ - (1/2)* g*t₂²

0 = 200 + 30*√3*t₂  - 4.9*t₂²            4.9 t₂² - 51.96*t₂ - 200 = 0

The above equation is a second-degree equation, solving for  t₂

t =  [51.96 ±√ (51.96)² + 4*4.9*200]/9.8

t =  [51.96 ±√2700 + 3920]/9.8

t =  [51.96 ± 81.36]/9.8

t = 51.96 - 81.36)/9.8         we dismiss this solution ( negative time)

t₂ =  13.60 s  time for y = 0 time when the fly finish

The components of the velocity just before striking the ground are:

vₓ = v₀ *cos60°       vₓ = 30 m/s  as we said before v₀ₓ is constant

vy = v₀y - g *t        vy = 30*√3  - 9.8 * (13.60)

vy = 51.96 - 133.28         vy = - 81.32 m/s

The sign minus means that vy  change direction

Finally the horizontal distance is:

x = vₓ * t

x = 30 * 13.60  m

x = 408 m

An object is dropped from a height of 75.0 m above ground level. (a) Determine the distance traveled during the first second. (b
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

a)Distance traveled during the first second = 4.905 m.

b)Final velocity at which the object hits the ground = 38.36 m/s

c)Distance traveled during the last second of motion before hitting the ground = 33.45 m

Explanation:

a) We have equation of motion

             S = ut + 0.5at²

     Here u = 0, and a = g

              S = 0.5gt²

    Distance traveled during the first second ( t =1 )

              S = 0.5 x 9.81 x 1² = 4.905 m

   Distance traveled during the first second = 4.905 m.

b)  We have equation of motion

            v² = u² + 2as

      Here u = 0, s= 75 m and a = g

           v² = 0² + 2 x g x 75 = 150 x 9.81

           v = 38.36 m/s

      Final velocity at which the object hits the ground = 38.36 m/s

c) We have S = 0.5gt²

                   75 = 0.5 x 9.81 x t²

                    t = 3.91 s

   We need to find distance traveled last second

   That is

          S = 0.5 x 9.81 x 3.91² - 0.5 x 9.81 x 2.91² = 33.45 m

   Distance traveled during the last second of motion before hitting the ground = 33.45 m

An airplane weighing 11,000 N climbs to a
Gennadij [26K]

The power in horsepower is 40.1 hp

Explanation:

We start by calculating the work done by the airplane during the climb, which is equal to its change in gravitational potential energy:

W=(mg)\Delta h

where

mg = 11,000 N is the weight of the airplane

\Delta h = 1.6 km = 1600 m is the change in height

Substituting,

W=(11,000)(1600)=17.6\cdot 10^6 J

Now we can calculate the power delivered, which is given by

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

W=17.6\cdot 10^6 J is the work done

t=9.8 min \cdot 60 = 588 s is the time taken

Substituting,

P=\frac{17.6\cdot 10^6 J}{588}=2.99\cdot 10^4 W

Finally, we can convert the power into horsepower (hp), keeping in mind that

1 hp = 746 W

Therefore,

P=\frac{2.99\cdot 10^4}{746}=40.1 hp
