In the winter activity of tubing, riders slide down snow covered slopes while sitting on large inflated rubber tubes. To get to

the top of the slope, a 2.50 kg tube, is pulled at a constant speed by a tow rope that maintains a constant tension of 12.0 N along the direction of the slope. How much thermal energy is created in the slope and the tube during the ascent of a 6.31-m-high, 52.3-m-long slope, in Joule

Answer:

≈ 473 J

Explanation:

m ( mass ) = 2.5 kg

T ( tension ) = 12 N

v = constant

h ( height ) = 6.31 m

d ( diameter ) = 52.3 m

<u>Determine how much thermal energy is created </u>

considering that external force acts on the system

ΔE = W and this can be rewritten as

mgh + ΔEth = W --------- ( 1 )

where ΔEth = amount of thermal energy created

also ; W = Fd cos ∅, hence Work done by Tension force (w) = Td cos 0 = Td

back to equation ( 1 )

mgh + ΔEth = Td

ΔEth = Td - mgh

= ( 12 * 52.3 ) - ( 2.5 * 9.8 * 6.31 )

≈ 473 J

A weightlifter lifts a 250-kg mass 0.5 meters above his head, how much PEg does the mass have (Note: g=9.8 m/s2)? Round your ans

morpeh [17]

Answer:

1225 J

Explanation:

The Gravitational potential energy (PEG) gained by a mass lifted above the ground is given by

$PE=mgh$

where

m is the mass

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height at which the object has been lifted

In this problem, we have

m = 250 kg

h = 0.5 m

So, the PE of the object is

$PE=(250 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.5 m)=1225 J$

A sample of chlorine has two naturally occurring isotopes. The isotope Cl-35 (mass 35.0 amu) makes up 75.8% of the sample, and t

irinina [24]

Answer:

$M_{av}=35.521amu$

Explanation:

As in any sample you will have 75.8% of Cl-35 iosotopes and 24.3% of Cl-37 iosotopes you can get the average atomic mass as:

$M_{av}=(35amu*75.8+37amu*24.3)/100=35.521amu$

(a) How many fringes appear between the first diffraction-envelope minima to either side of the central maximum in a double-slit

Ainat [17]

Answer:

a

The number of fringe is z = 3 fringes

b

The ratio is $I = 0.2545I_o$

Explanation:

a

From the question we are told that

The wavelength is $\lambda = 600 nm$

The distance between the slit is $d = 0.117mm = 0.117 *10^{-3} m$

The width of the slit is $a = 35.7 \mu m = 35.7 *10^{-6}m$

let z be the number of fringes that appear between the first diffraction-envelope minima to either side of the central maximum in a double-slit pattern is and this mathematically represented as

$z = \frac{d}{a}$

Substituting values

$z = \frac{0.117*10^{-3}}{35.7 *10^{-6}}$

z = 3 fringes

b

From the question we are told that the order of the bright fringe is n = 3

Generally the intensity of a pattern is mathematically represented as

$I = I_o cos^2 [\frac{\pi d sin \theta}{\lambda} ][\frac{sin (\pi a sin \frac{\theta}{\lambda } )}{\pi a sin \frac{\theta}{\lambda} } ]$

Where $I_o$ is the intensity of the central fringe

And Generally $sin \theta = \frac{n \lambda }{d}$

$I = I_o co^2 [ \frac{\pi (\frac{n \lambda}{d} )}{\lambda} ] [\frac{\frac{sin (\pi a (\frac{n \lambda}{d} ))}{\lambda} }{\frac{\pi a (\frac{n \lambda}{d} )}{\lambda} } ]$

$I = I_o cos^2 (n \pi)[\frac{\frac{sin(\pi a (\frac{n \lambda}{d} ))}{\lambda} )}{ \frac{ \pi a (\frac{n \lambda }{d} )}{\lambda} } ]$

$I = I_o cos^2 (3 \pi) [\frac{sin (\frac{3 \pi }{6} )}{\frac{3 \pi}{6} } ]$

$I = I_o (1)(0.2545)$

$I = 0.2545I_o$

You are a member of an alpine rescue team and must get a box of supplies, with mass 3.00 kg , up an incline of constant slope an

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

v = 8.45 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass = 3 kg

angle = 30.0°

vertical distance = 3.3 m

μ = 0.06

according to conservation of energy

KE(loss) = PE(gain) + Work done (against\ friction)..............(1)

frictional Force

$F_f = \mu N$

$F_f = \mu m g cos \theta$

work against friction

W = F d

$W = \mu m g cos \theta \times h l sin\theta$

$W = \dfrac{\mu m g \times h}{tan\theta}$

Potential energy

PE = mgh

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2= \dfrac{\mu mgh}{tan \theta}+ mgh$

$\dfrac{1}{2}v^2= \dfrac{0.06 \times 9.81 \times 3.3}{tan 30^0}+ 9.8\times 3.3$

v = 8.45 m/s

the minimum speed is equal to 8.45 m/s
