An engine causes a car to move 10 meters with a force of 100 N. The engine produces 10,000 J of energy. What is the efficiency o

f this engine.
A substance is heated with 1000 J and does 700 J of work on the atmosphere. What is the change in internal energy of the substance?

The work done by a piston is measured to be 1000 J. If the pressure is a constant 1000 Pa, what is the change in volume of the piston?
Is the process described in #10 isovolumetric? Explain.

Answer:

Part A

The efficiency of the engine is 10%

Part B

The change in internal energy is 300 J

Part C

The change in volume is 1 m³ which is one cubic meter

Explanation:

Part A

Efficiency is defined as the ratio of energy output to energy input;

The given parameters are;

The distance the car is moved, d = 10 meters

The force which moves the car, F = 100 N

The amount of energy produced by the engine = 1,000 J

Therefore, we have;

The energy output to the car = The work done on the car = Force applied to the car, F × The distance the car moves, d;

∴ The energy output to the car by the engine = F × d = 100 N × 10 m = 1,000 J

The energy input from the engine = The energy produced by the engine = 10,000 J

The efficiency of the engine = (The energy output)/(The energy input)= 1,000J/10,00J = 0.1

The efficiency in percentage = 0.1 × 100 = 10 %

The efficiency of the engine = 10%

Part B

The amount of heat added to the substance, ΔQ = 1,000J

The amount of work the substance does on the atmosphere, W = 700 J

The change in internal energy, ΔU is given as follows;

ΔQ = W + ΔU

∴ ΔU = ΔQ - W

For the substance, we have;

The change in internal energy, ΔU = 1,000 J - 700 J = 300 J

Part C

The work done by the piston, W = 1,000 J

The pressure, in the piston, P = 1,000 Pa = constant

The work done by the piston in a constant pressure process, W = P × ΔV

Where;

W = The work done

P = The constant pressure applied

ΔV = The change in volume = V₂ - V₁

V₂ = The final volume

V₁ = The initial volume

∴The change in volume ΔV = W/P = 1,000 J/(1,000Pa) = 1 m³

The change in volume ΔV = 1 m³

An iron railroad rail is 800 ft long when the temperature is 31°C. What is its length (in ft) when the temperature is −17°C?

natta225 [31]

Answer:

799.54 ft

Explanation:

Linear thermal expansion is:

ΔL = α L₀ ΔT

where ΔL is the change in length,

α is the linear thermal expansion coefficient,

L₀ is the original length,

and ΔT is the change in temperature.

Given:

α = 1.2×10⁻⁵ / °C

L₀ = 800 ft

ΔT = -17°C − 31°C = -48°C

Find: ΔL

ΔL = (1.2×10⁻⁵ / °C) (800 ft) (-48°C)

ΔL = -0.4608

Rounded to two significant figures, the change in length is -0.46 ft.

Therefore, the final length is approximately 800 ft − 0.46 ft = 799.54 ft.

The deepest point in the ocean is 11 km below sea level, deeper than Mt. Everest is tall.

34kurt

The pressure at the depth 11 km below sea level can be calculated using

P=ρgh

P is pressure, ρ is the density of the fluid; g is the gravitational constant, h is the height from the surface, or depth that the object is submerged.

P = ( 1000 kg/ m3) ( 9.81 m.s2)( 11 000m) + 1 atm

P = 107,910,000 pa ( 1 atm/ 101 325 Pa) + 1 atm = 1066 atm

A uniform solid disk with a mass of 24.3 kg and a radius of 0.364 m is free to rotate about a frictionless axle. Forces of 90.0

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

a. $-12.7 Nm$

b. $-7.9 rad/s^2$

Explanation:

I have attached an illustration of a solid disk with the respective forces applied, as stated in this question.

Forces applied to the solid disk include:

$F_1 = 90.0N\\F_2 = 125N$

Other parameters given include:

Mass of solid disk, $M = 24.3kg$

and radius of solid disk, $r = 0.364m$

a.) The formula for determining torque ( $T$ ), is $T = r * F$

Hence the net torque produced by the two forces is given as a summation of both forces:

$T = T_{125} + T_{90}\\= -r(125)sin90 + r(90)sin90\\= 0.364(-125 + 90)\\= -12.7 Nm$

b.) The angular acceleration of the disk can be found thus:

using the formula for the Moment of Inertia of a solid disk;

$I_{disk} = {\frac{1}{2}}Mr^2$

where $M$ = Mass of solid disk

and $r$ = radius of solid disk

We then relate the torque and angular acceleration ( $\alpha$ ) with the formula:

$T = I\alpha \\-12.7 = ({\frac{1}{2}}Mr^2)\alpha \\\alpha = -{\frac{12.7}{1.61}} = -7.9 rad/s^2$
