When an elevator is accelerating downward, the normal force is equal to mg-ma (hence you feel a little lighter when accelerating downwards)
Therefore, the upward force of the elevator floor on the person must be less than 750N
To solve this problem, we should recall the law of
conservation of energy. That is, the heat lost by the aluminium must be equal
to the heat gained by the cold water. This is expressed in change in enthalpies
therefore:
- ΔH aluminium = ΔH water
where ΔH = m Cp (T2 – T1)
The negative sign simply means heat is lost. Therefore we
calculate for the mass of water (m):
- 0.5 (900) (20 – 200) = m (4186) (20 – 0)
m = 0.9675 kg
Using same mass of water and initial temperature, the final
temperature T of a 1.0 kg aluminium block is:
- 1 (900) (T – 200) = 0.9675 (4186) (T – 0)
- 900 T + 180,000 = 4050 T
4950 T = 180,000
T = 36.36°C
The final temperature of the water and block is 36.36°C
Answer:
hmax = 1/2 · v²/g
Explanation:
Hi there!
Due to the conservation of energy and since there is no dissipative force (like friction) all the kinetic energy (KE) of the ball has to be converted into gravitational potential energy (PE) when the ball comes to stop.
KE = PE
Where KE is the initial kinetic energy and PE is the final potential energy.
The kinetic energy of the ball is calculated as follows:
KE = 1/2 · m · v²
Where:
m = mass of the ball
v = velocity.
The potential energy is calculated as follows:
PE = m · g · h
Where:
m = mass of the ball.
g = acceleration due to gravity (known value: 9.81 m/s²).
h = height.
At the maximum height, the potential energy is equal to the initial kinetic energy because the energy is conserved, i.e, all the kinetic energy was converted into potential energy (there was no energy dissipation as heat because there was no friction). Then:
PE = KE
m · g · hmax = 1/2 · m · v²
Solving for hmax:
hmax = 1/2 · v² / g
A would be the correct answer. Its the only one to make sense since you are trying to solve the conflict!
