Answer: 5

Explanation:

The mechanical advantage of a wedge is given by the formula:

$MA=\frac{L}{h}$

where L is the length of the slope and h is the height.

In this problem, we have a length of L=10 inches and a height of h=2 inches, so the mechanical advantage is

$MA=\frac{10}{2}=5$

An electric iron operating at 120 volts draws 10. amperes of current. how much heat energy

faltersainse [42]

The complete question is how much heat energy is delivered by the iron in 30 seconds.
Heat is given by IVt, Where I is the current in Amperes, V is the voltage, and t is the time in seconds,
Therefore;
Heat energy = 120 × 10 ×30
= 36000 joules or 36 kJ
Heat energy is measured in joules.

A string is wrapped around a pulley with a radius of 2.0 cm. The pulley is initially at rest. A constant force of 50 N is applie

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

0.20kg-m^2

Explanation:

Let the linear velocity of the rope(=of pulley) is v m/s

Using kinematic equation

=> v = u + at

=>v = 0 + 4.9a

=>v = 4.9a ------------ eq1

By v^2 = u^2 + 2as

=>v^2 = 0 + 2 x v/4.9 x 1.2

=>4.9v^2 - 2.4v = 0

=>v(4.9v - 2.4) = 0

=>v = 2.4/4.9 = 0.49 m/s

Thus by v = r x omega

=>omega = v/r = 0.49/0.02 = 24.49 rad/sec

BY W = F x s = 50 x 1.2 = 60 J

=>KE(rotational) = W = 1/2 x I x omega^2

=>60 = 1/2 x I x (24.49)^2

=>I = 0.20 kg-m^2

An ideal gas is allowed to expand isothermally from 2.00 l at 5.00 atm in two steps:

Burka [1]

Heat added to the gas = Q = 743 Joules

Work done on the gas = W = -743 Joules

$\texttt{ }$

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The Ideal Gas Law that needs to be recalled is:

$\large {\boxed {PV = nRT} }$

<em>P = Pressure (Pa)</em>

<em>V = Volume (m³)</em>

<em>n = number of moles (moles)</em>

<em>R = Gas Constant (8.314 J/mol K)</em>

<em>T = Absolute Temperature (K)</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

$\texttt{ }$

<u>Given:</u>

Initial volume of the gas = V₁ = 2.00 L

Initial pressure of the gas = P₁ = 5.00 atm

<u>Unknown:</u>

Work done on the gas = W = ?

Heat added to the gas = Q = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<h3>Step A:</h3>

<em>Ideal gas is allowed to expand isothermally:</em>

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

$5.00 \times 2.00 = 3.00 \times V_2$

$V_2 = 10 \div 3$

$V_2 = 3\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ L}$

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Next we will calculate the work done on the gas:</em>

$W_A = -P_2(V_2 - V_1)$

$W_A = -3.00(3\frac{1}{3} - 2.00)$

$W_A = \boxed{-4 \texttt{ L.atm}}$

$\texttt{ }$

<h3>Step B:</h3>

<em>Using the same method as above:</em>

$P_2V_2 = P_3V_3$

$3.00 \times 3\frac{1}{3} = 2.00 \times V_3$

$V_3 = 10 \div 2$

$V_3 = 5 \texttt{ L}$

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Next we will calculate the work done on the gas:</em>

$W_B = -P_3(V_3 - V_2)$

$W_B = -2.00(5 - 3\frac{1}{3})$

$W_B = \boxed{-3\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ L.atm}}$

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Finally we could calculate the total work done and heat added as follows:</em>

$W = W_A + W_B$

$W = -4 + (-3\frac{1}{3})$

$W = -7\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ L.atm}$

$W = -7\frac{1}{3} \times 101.33 \texttt{ J}$

$\boxed{W \approx -743 \textt{ J}}$

$\texttt{ }$

$\Delta U = Q + W$

$0 = Q + (-743)$

$\boxed{Q = 743 \texttt{ J}}$

$\texttt{ }$
