Finish A 16 N force is applied to an object and 96 J of work is done. How far was the object moved?
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 6 \ meters}}

Explanation:

Work is the product of force and distance.

W=F*d

We know that 96 Joules of work were done and a 16 Newton force was applied to the object.

  • W= 96 J
  • F= 16 N

Substitute the values into the formula.

96 \  J= 16 \ N * d

First, let's convert the units. This will make cancelling units easier later in the problem. 1 Joule (J) is equal to 1 Newton meter (N*m), so the work of 96 Joules equals 96 Newton meters.

96 \ N*m= 16 \ N * d

Now, solve for distance by isolating the variable, d. It is being multiplied by 16 Newtons and the inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the equation by 16 N.

\frac {96 \ N*m}{16 \ N}= \frac{16 \ N *d}{16 \ N}

\frac {96 \ N*m}{16 \ N}=d

The units of Newtons cancel.

\frac {96}{16} \ m = d

6 \ m = d

The object moved a distance of <u>6 meters.</u>

A fixed mass of an ideal gas is heated from 50°C to 80°C (a) at constant volume and (b) at constant pressure. For which case do
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Specific heat at constant pressure is =  1.005 kJ/kg.K

Specific heat at constant volume is =  0.718 kJ/kg.K

Explanation:

given data

temperature T1 =  50°C

temperature T2 = 80°C

solution

we know energy require to heat the air is express as

for constant pressure and volume

Q  = m ×  c × ΔT     ........................1

here m is mass of the gas and c is specific heat of the gas and Δ T is change in temperature of the gas

here both Mass and temperature difference is equal and energy required is dependent on specific heat of air.

and here at constant pressure Specific heat  is greater than the specific heat at constant volume,

so the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one unit mass by one degree at constant pressure is

Specific heat at constant pressure is =  1.005 kJ/kg.K

and

Specific heat at constant volume is =  0.718 kJ/kg.K

A wave pulse traveling to the right along a thin cord reaches a discontinuity where the rope becomes thicker and heavier. What i
Talja [164]

Answer:

the reflected wave is inverted and the transmitted wave is up

Explanation:

To answer this question we must analyze the physical phenomenon, with an wave reaching a discontinuity, we can analyze it as a shock.

Let's start when the discontinuity is with a fixed, very heavy and rigid obstacle, in this case the reflected wave is inverted, since the contact point cannot move

In the event that it collides with an object that can move, the reflected wave is not inverted, this is because the point can rise, they form a maximum at this point.

In the proposed case the shock is when the thickness changes, in this case we have the above phenomena, a part of the wave is reflected by being inverted and a part of the wave is transmitted without inverting.

The amplitude sum of the amplitudes of the two waves is proportional to the lanería that is distributed between them.

When checking the answers the correct one is the reflected wave is inverted and the transmitted wave is up

What is the force that the gas exerts on each of the six sides of the box when the gas temperature is 20.0∘C?
Taya2010 [7]

Incomplete question as number of moles and length is missing.So I have assumed 3 moles and length of 0.300 m.So the complete question is here:

Three moles of an ideal gas are in a rigid cubical box with sides of length 0.300 m.What is the force that the gas exerts on each of the six sides of the box when the gas temperature is 20.0∘C?

Answer:

The Force act on each side is 2.43×10⁴N

Explanation:

Given data

n=3 mol

L=0.3 m

Temperature=20.0°C=293 K

To find

Force F

Solution

To get force act on each side it would employ by

F=P.A

Where P is pressure

A is Area

First we need to find pressure by applying ideal gas law

So

P.V=nRT\\P=\frac{nRT}{V}\\ P=\frac{(3mol)(8.315J/mol)(293K)}{(0.3m*0.3m*0.3m)}\\P=27.069*10^{4}Pa

So The Force is given as:

F=P.A\\F=(27.069*10^{4} )(0.3m*0.3m)\\F=2.43*10^{4}N

The Force act on each side is 2.43×10⁴N
