List 2 examples of objects demonstrating mechanical energy.

1 answer:

6 0

Windmills run on the principle of mechanical energy and work. Moving air (wind) possesses some amount of energy in the form of kinetic energy (due to motion). This energy gives the air the ability to do work on the blades of the fan.

19) A child on a sled starts from rest at the top of a 15.0° slope. If the trip to the bottom takes 15.2 s,

sveticcg [70]

Answer: 288.8 m

Explanation:

We have the following data:

$t=15.2 s$ is the time it takes to the child to reach the bottom of the slope

$V_{o}=0$ is the initial velocity (the child started from rest)

$\theta=15\°$ is the angle of the slope

$d$ is the length of the slope

Now, the Force exerted on the sled along the ramp is:

$F=ma$ (1)

Where $m$ is the mass of the sled and $a$ its acceleration

In addition, if we draw a free body diagram of this sled, the force along the ramp will be:

$F=mg sin \theta$ (2)

Where $g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

Then:

$ma=mg sin \theta$ (3)

Finding $a$ :

$a=g sin \theta$ (4)

$a=9.8 m/s^{2} sin(15\°)$ (5)

$a=2.5 m/s^{2}$ (6)

Now, we will use the following kinematic equations to find $d$ :

$V=V_{o}+at$ (7)

$V^{2}=V_{o}^{2}+2ad$ (8)

Where $V$ is the final velocity

Finding $V$ from (7):

$V=at=(2.5 m/s^{2})(15.2 s)$ (9)

$V=38 m/s$ (10)

Substituting (10) in (8):

$(38 m/s)^{2}=2(2.5 m/s^{2})d$ (11)

Finding $d$ :

$d=288.8 m$

How is thermal equilibrium reached? Question 3 options: When both objects have the same temperature When objects have the same m

ollegr [7]

In the thermal equilibrium, the change in temperature is said to be zero in between the bodies. Thermal equilibrium is reached when both objects have the same temperature.

<h3>What is thermal equilibrium?</h3>

Thermal equilibrium is easily explained by the zeroth law of thermodynamics. If any two-body is at thermal equilibrium there is no change in the temperature of the body.

According to zeroth law if body A is in thermal equilibrium with body B and body B is in thermal equilibrium with C . So body A and C are also in thermal equilibrium.

In the thermal equilibrium, the net heat transfer is said to be zero in between the bodies.

Hence option A IS RIGHT. Thermal equilibrium is reached when both objects have the same temperature
