GPE = 78,380 J
w = 39,240 N
First list what you know. You know the elephants mass and it’s height. You also know gravity on Earth. I will use g = 9.81.
m = 4,000 kg
h = 20 m
g = 9.81 m/s^2
You need to find the elephants weight. Weight = mass x gravity
w = mg
w = (4000 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)
w = 39,240 N (N = newtons)
Now, knowing the elephants weight, you can calculate its GPE.
Gravitational Potential Energy = weight x height
GPE = wh
GPE = (39,240N)(20m)
GPE = 78,380 J (J = joules)
Answer:
work done is -150 kJ
Explanation:
given data
volume v1 = 2 m³
pressure p1 = 100 kPa
pressure p2 = 200 kPa
internal energy = 10 kJ
heat is transferred = 150 kJ
solution
we know from 1st law of thermodynamic is
Q = du +W ............1
put here value and we get
-140 = 10 + W
W = -150 kJ
as here work done is -ve so we can say work is being done on system
