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

If it takes an amount of work W to move two q point charges from infinity to a distance d apart from each other, then how much w
aleksklad [387]

Answer:3W

If it takes an amount of work W to move two q point charges from infinity to a distance d apart from each other, then how much work should it take to move three q point charges from infinity to a distance d apart from each other?

A) 2W

B) 3W

C) 4W

D) 6W

Explanation: calculating work done,W, in moving two positive q point charges from infinity to a valued distance d from each other  is

W = k(+q)(+q)/ d

k is couloumb's constant

work done in moving 3 equal positive charges from infinity to a finite distance is given by

W₂=W₄=W₆=k(+q)(+q)/ d

Total work done, W' =k(+q)(+q)/ d + k(+q)(+q)/ d + k(+q)(+q)/ d

= W + W + W = 3W

Why is temperature scalar?
shepuryov [24]
Temperature is just a measure of how HOT or COLD a substance is, which can be easily defined by a magnitude using a numerical value say “300 K” or “27°C”. Hence we can say it is a scalar quantity.

But the energy which transfer by virtue of a temperature difference is a vector quantity, as it has both magnitude and direction of motion (from High temperature to low temperature region).

Thermal Conductors don't have to be hot to transfer heat, explain a situation when a ice cube would still transfer heat to anoth
barxatty [35]
An ice cube would transfer heat to another object whose temperature
is lower than zero°C (32°F).

A block of "dry ice" is sitting there at a temperature of -78°C (-109°F).
An ice cube helps to melt dry ice nice and fast.

If you could find a block of solid nitrogen, its temperature would be
63K (-210°C, -346°F).  An ice cube would transfer heat to that baby
so fast that it would instantly boil.
