A small sphere of mass m is launched horizontally over a body of water from a height h above the water and with a launch speed v

0. Determine expressions for the following in terms of m, v0, h, and g. Air resistance is negligibly small.
(a) W is the amount work done by the force of gravity on the projectile during its flight.

W =
−mgh


For a conservative force, how does the work done by the force compare to the change in potential energy associated with the force?

Answer:

a)   W = m g h , b)     W / U = 1

Explanation:

a) work is defined by

        W = F. dy

in this case the force of gravity goes down and the displacement of the particle is down, so the two are parallel and the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product

        W = F y

strength is the weight of the body

         F = m g

        W = m g h

where h is the distance the body descends

b) the only force acting on the body is the weight of the work and we calculated them in part a, the potential energy is

     U = m g h

to compare the two magnitudes of let's find their relationship

    W / U = mgh / mgh

    W / U = 1

Keith_Richards [23]

It is given that by using track and cart we can record the time and the distance travelled and also the speed of the cart can be recorded. With all this data we can solve questions on the laws of motion.  

Like using the first law of motion we can determine the force of gravity acting on the cart that has moved a certain distance and the velocity or the speed of card has already been registered and since time is known putting the values in formula would help us calculate the gravitational pull acting on cart.

Moving water, like that of a river, carries sediment as it moves along its bed. The faster the water flows, the more sediment th
katovenus [111]

Correct option: A

An object remains at rest until a force acts on it.

As the water moves faster, it applies greater force on the sediment, which over comes the frictional forces between the bed and the sediment. So, when the river flows faster, more and larger sediment particles are carried away. When the flow slows down, the river couldn't apply enough force on the larger sediments which can overcome the frictional force between the sediment and the river bed. So, the net force on the heavier particles become zero. Hence, the heavier particles of the load will settle out.

A gas is compressed from 600 cm3 to 200cm3 at a constant pressure of 400 kpa. at the same time, 100 j of heat energy is transfer
Mekhanik [1.2K]
The initial volume of the gas is
V_i = 600 cm^3
while its final volume is
V_f = 200 cm^3
so its variation of volume is
\Delta V = V_f - V-i = 200 cm^3 - 600 cm^3 = -400 cm^3 = -400 \cdot 10^{-6} m^3

The pressure is constant, and it is
p=400 kPa = 400 \cdot 10^3 Pa

Therefore the work done by the gas is
W=p\Delta V = (400 \cdot 10^3 Pa)(-400 \cdot 10^{-6} m^3)=-160 J
where the negative sign means the work is done by the surrounding on the gas.

The heat energy given to the gas is
Q=+100 J

And the change in internal energy of the gas can be found by using the first law of thermodynamics:
\Delta U = Q-W = 100 J - (-160 J)=+260 J
where the positive sign means the internal energy of the gas has increased.

A windowpane is half a centimeter thick and has an area of 1.0 m2. The temperature difference between the inside and outside sur
polet [3.4K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the heat flux rate expressed in energetic terms. The rate of heat flow is the amount of heat that is transferred per unit of time in some material. Mathematically it can be expressed as:

\frac{Q}{t} = \frac{kA}{L} (T_H - T_C)

Where

k = 0.84 J/s⋅m⋅°C (The thermal conductivity of the material)

A = 1m^2 Area

L = 5*10^{-3}m Length

T_H= Temperature of the "hot"reservoir

T_C= Temperature of the "cold"reservoir

Replacing with our values we have that,

\frac{Q}{t} = \frac{kA}{L} (T_H - T_C)

\frac{Q}{t} = \frac{(0.84)(1)}{0.005} (15)

\frac{Q}{t} = 2520J/s

Therefore the correct answer is B.

A damped harmonic oscillator consists of a block of mass 2.5 kg attached to a spring with spring constant 10 N/m to which is app
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

0.5% per oscillation

Explanation:

The term 'damped oscillation' means an oscillation that fades away with time. For Example; a swinging pendulum.

Kinetic energy, KE= 1/2×mv^2-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(1).

Where m= Mass, v= velocity.

Also, Elastic potential energy,PE=1/2×kX^2----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(2).

Where k= force constant, X= displacement.

Mechanical energy= potential energy (when a damped oscillator reaches maximum displacement).

Therefore, we use equation (3) to get the resonance frequency,

W^2= k/m--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(3)

Slotting values into equation (3).

= 10/2.5.

= ✓4.

= 2 s^-1.

Recall that, F= -kX

F^2= (-0.1)^2

Potential energy,PE= 1/2 ×0.01

Potential energy= 0.05 ×100

= 0.5% per oscillation.
