Velocity:

Velocity is change in displacement with respect to time:

\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

Analysing the units, meters (displacement) and seconds (time) are basic units:

\frac{m}{s}

Therefore the unit of velocity is m/s

Force:

Newton's second law of motion:

F = ma

Kilogram (mass) is a basic unit, and accelerations unit can be found using the equation:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

Analysing the units:

\frac{\frac{m}{s}}{s}=\frac{m}{s^2}

Therefore, the unit of force is:

kg\frac{m}{s^2}

Pressure:

Pressure is given by the equation:

P=\frac{F}{S} where S is area of effect, F is force

Area for a basic rectangle (geometric shape is arbitrary for dimensional analysis) is found by multiplying two lengths:

[l^2]=m^2, the unit of area

Dividing the aforementioned unit of force by the unit of area:

\frac{kg\frac{m}{s^2}}{m^2}=\frac{kg}{ms^2}, the unit of pressure

Work:

Work is given by the equation:

W=\vec{F}\cdot \vec{x}, (dot product may be assumed as normal multiplication for the purposes of unit analysis)

Knowing displacement's (x) unit is m:

[W]=\frac{kgm}{s^2}m=\frac{kgm^2}{s^2}, the unit of work.

A system gains 767 kJ of heat, resulting in a change in internal energy of the system equal to +151 kJ. How much work is done?
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The work done on the system is -616 kJ

Explanation:

Given;

Quantity of heat absorbed by the system, Q = 767 kJ

change in the internal energy of the system, ΔU = +151 kJ

Apply the first law of thermodynamics;

ΔU = W + Q

Where;

ΔU  is the change in internal energy

W is the work done

Q is the heat gained

W = ΔU  - Q

W = 151 - 767

W = -616 kJ (The negative sign indicates that the work is done on the system)

Therefore, the work done on the system is -616 kJ

Suppose your surface body temperature averaged 90 degrees F. How much radiant energy in W/m^2 would be emitted from your body?
Debora [2.8K]

493 \; \text{W}\cdot \text{m}^{-2}.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The Stefan-Boltzmann Law gives the energy radiation <em>per unit area</em> of a black body:

\dfrac{P}{A} = \sigma \cdot T^{4}

where,

  • P the total power emitted,
  • A the surface area of the body,
  • \sigma the Stefan-Boltzmann Constant, and
  • T the temperature of the body in degrees Kelvins.

\sigma = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \;\text{W}\cdot \text{m}^{-2} \cdot \text{K}^{-4}.

T = 90 \; \textdegree{}\text{F} = (\dfrac{5}{9} \cdot (90-32) + 273.15) \; \text{K} = 305.372 \; \text{K}.

\dfrac{P}{A} = \sigma \cdot T^{4} = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \times 305.372^{4} = 493\; \text{W}\cdot \text{m}^{-2}.

Keep as many significant figures in T as possible. The error will be large when T is raised to the power of four. Also, the real value will be much smaller than 493\; \text{W}\cdot \text{m}^{-2} since the emittance of a human body is much smaller than assumed.

A 30kg mass is brought from the earth to the moon what is the weight on the earth
ozzi

Answer:

Solution

verified

Verified by Toppr

Given:

Mass of body = 30 kg

gravitational acceleration on the moon = 1.62 m/s

2

Weight of the body on the moon = Mass of the body×gravitational acceleration on the moon=30×1.62=48 N
