The work done by the man pushing the car over the given distance is 1000J.

Given the data in the question;

  • Mass of car; m = 200kg
  • Acceleration of the car; a = 0.5m/s^2
  • Distance covered by the car; d = 10m

Work done; W = \ ?

<h3>Work done</h3>

Work done is simply defined as the energy transfer that takes place when an object is either pushed or pulled over a certain distance by an external force. It is expressed as;

Work\ done = f * d

Where f is force applied and d is distance travelled.

To determine the work done by the man, we first solve for the force applied F.

From Newton's Second Law; Force \ F = m * a

We substitute our given values into the expression

F = m * a \\\\F = 200kg * 0.5m/s^2\\\\F = 100kg.m/s^2

Next we substitute our values into the expression of work done above.

Work \ done = f * d\\\\Work \ done = 100kg.m/s^2 * 10m\\\\Work \ done = 1000kgm^2/s^2\\\\Work \ done = 1000J

Therefore, the work done by the man pushing the car over the given distance is 1000J.

Two harmonic waves traveling in opposite directions interfere to produce a standing wave described by y = 3 sin (2x) cos 5t wher
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The wavelength of the interfering waves is 3.14 meters.

Explanation:

Given that,

The equation of standing wave that is formed by interfering two harmonic waves (travelling opposite direction) is given by :

y=3\ sin(2x)\ cos(5t)........(1)

The general equation of standing wave is given by :

y=2A\ sin(kx)\ cos(\omega t)..............(2)

On comparing equation (1) and (2), we get :

k = 2

We know that,

\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}=k

\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}=2

\lambda=3.14\ m

So, the wavelength of the interfering wave is 3.14 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

Which is the momentum of a 100 kilogram boulder rolling south down a hill at a velocity of 5 meters per second
adell [148]
P = m * v
P = 100 * 5 Kg-m/s towards south
P = 500 Kg-m/s towards south

In short, your answer would be 500 Kg-m/s towards south

Hope this helps!

A piston–cylinder device initially contains steam at 3.5 MPa, superheated by 5°C. Now, steam loses heat to the surroundings and
velikii [3]

<u>Answer :</u>

(a) The Initial temperature of the steam is 247.557°C

(b) The enthalpy change per unit mass of the steam is -1771 kJ/kg

(c) The final pressure is 1555 kPa, and the liquid vapor mixture contains small mass of vapor.

<u>Explanation :</u>

From the given statements, we know

Initial steam pressure (P_1) = 3.5 MPa

Degree of Super heat = 5°C

Saturation Temperature (T_s_a_t) = 242.557°C [From Steam Table]

Now, the Initial temperature (T_1) of steam is given by-

T_1 = T_s_a_t + Degree of Superheat

 = 242.557 + 5 = 247.557°C

(b)To find: The enthalpy change per unit mass of the steam is  

We know enthalpy (h) change is given by

Δh = h_2 – h_1

From steam Table, properties of the gas at state 1 and state 2  

h_1 = 2821.1 kJ/kg

h_2 = 1049.7 kJ/kg

On substituting the values, we get

or, Δh = 1049.7 - 2821.1 = -1771 kJ/kg

(c) To Find: The final pressure of the liquid vapor mixture contains small mass of vapor.

We find that the gas at the final position, i.e., at position 3

Final Temperature (T_3) = 200°C [Given] ……………………………..(1)

Specific Volume (v_3) = Specific Volume (v_2) = 0.00123 m^3/kg ….....(2)

Using steam table for corresponding values of (1) and (2), we get

Final Pressure P_3 = 1555 kPa

Dryness fraction (x_3) = 0.0006.

If an aircraft is flying at 400 miles/hour and encounters a head wind of 40 miles/hour, what is the resultant ground speed?
Katen [24]
Look at it this way:

Every time the plane flies through 400 miles of air,
the air moves it 40 miles backwards.
So it only covers 360 miles of ground in an hour.
