Hi there!

We can begin by converting cm to m:

4cm = 0.04 m

Use the following equation:

vf² = vi² + 2ad

The final velocity is 0 m/s, so:

0 = vi² + 2ad

vi² = -2(a)d

Plug in given values to solve for the acceleration:

800²/2(0.04) = -a

a = -8,000,000 m/s²

Find the force using the equation:

F = ma

F = (0.02)(-8,000,000) = -160,000 N

A vertical piston-cylinder device contains water and is being heated on top of a range. During the process, 63 Btu of heat is tr

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

The water would have a change in the energy of 50 BTU

Explanation:

Under the assumption that the piston-cylinder system is a closed system, then the conservation law of the system would be: $E_{in}-E_{out}=E_{change}$ , where $E_{in}$ is all the energy that goes into the system, $E_{out}$ is all the energy that leaves the system and, $E_{change}$ is the change of the energy of the system.
For this case the energy that is feeded to the system is heat: 63 BTU.
There is two ways that energy is leaving this system: 8 BTU of heat as losses through the side walls and, 5 BTU of work done by the vapor on the piston.
Then the change of energy of the system is: $E_{change}=E_{in}-E_{out}=63 BTU-(8BTU+5BTU)=50BTU$ .

Please help! If you held a piece of tissue paper at arms length and asked the heavyweight champion of the world to hit the paper

FinnZ [79.3K]

Force is equal to mass x acceleration. The heavyweight is packing both greater acceleration and mass than the tissue paper.
When his fist comes in contact with the paper, the tissue reacts by exerting its own opposite force, providing a tiny bit of resistance until the fist breaks it apart and passes through.
The fist, although by a a very tiny amount, is decelerated (slowed down) by the paper before it breaks through.
