Answer:

Argument in favor of less total energy consumption if the store is kept at a low temperature

Explanation:

Have in mind that if the store has numerous refrigerators and freezers, the energy consumption of those machines have to be included into the analysis.

Recall that the efficiency (or Coefficient Of Performance - COP) of a frezzer or refrigerator is inversely proportional to the temperature difference between the inside of th machine and the environment where it is operation, therefore the smaller the difference, the highest their efficiency. Therefore, the cooler the environment (the temperature at which the store is kept) the better performance of the running refrigerators and freezers.

How long will it take a 2190 W motor to lift a 1.47 x 104 g box, 6.34 x 104 mm vertically.​
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

4.2s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Power = 2190W

Mass of box = 1.47 x 10⁴g

distance  = 6.34 x 10⁴mm

Unknown:

Time  = ?

Solution:

Power is the rate at which work is done;

 Mathematically;

        Power  = \frac{work done}{time}  

   Time  = \frac{work done}{power}  

 Work done  = weight x height

 convert mass to kg;

     100g = 1kg;

           1.47 x 10⁴g  = 14.7kg

convert the height to m;

          1000mm = 1m

          6.34 x 10⁴mm gives 63.4m

  Work done  = 14.7 x 9.8 x 63.4 = 9133.4J

  Time taken = \frac{9133.4}{2190}   = 4.2s

2) Two ice skaters have masses m1 and m2 and are initially stationary. Their skates are identical. They push against one another
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

m_1 / m_2 = sqrt (1 / 2)

Explanation:

Given:

- Initial velocity of both skaters V_i = 0

- Velocity of skater 1 after push = V_1

- Velocity of skater  after push = V_2

- Distance traveled by skater 1 = s_1

- Distance traveled by skater 2 = s_2

- s_1 = 2*s_2

- Accelerations of both skaters to halt is equal

Find:

What is the ratio m1/m2 of their masses

Solution:

- Apply conservation of momentum for two skaters just before and after the push as follows:

                                              P_i = P_f

                                  0 = m_1*V_1 - m_2*V_2

- Evaluate:                 m_1 / m_2 = ( V_2 / V_1 )

- Apply Conservation of Energy on both skaters as follows:

- Skater 1:

                               0.5*m_1*V_1^2 = u_k*m_1*g*s_1

-Simplify:                      0.5*V_1^2 = u_k*g*(2*s_2)

- Skater 2:

                               0.5*m_2*V_2^2 = u_k*m_2*g*s_2

-Simplify:                      0.5*V_2^2 = u_k*g*s_2

- Divide the two energy equations for skaters:

                                    (V_1 / V_2)^2 = 2

                                    (V_2 / V_1)^2 = 1 / 2

- simplify:                     (V_2 / V_1) = sqrt (1 / 2)

-Hence from earlier momentum conservation results:

                                  m_1 / m_2 = ( V_2 / V_1 ) = sqrt (1 / 2)

If the volume of a sample of gas is reduced at constant temperature, the average velocity of the molecules _______, the average
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the volume of a sample of gas is reduced at constant temperature, the average velocity of the molecules increases, the average force of an individual collision increases, and the average number of collisions with the wall, per unit area, per second increases.

As volume is reduced, the gas molecules come closer together, which increases the number of collisions between them and their collisions with the container walls. Also, since the distance traveled by each molecule between successive collision decreases, the molecule velocity doesn't decrease much within collisions as a result of which, the average velocity is higher compared to when the gas is stored in a larger volume. Finally, due to constant collisions, the direction of molecule travel changes rapidly owing to which the acceleration of molecules increases.
