In the winter activity of tubing, riders slide down snow covered slopes while sitting on large inflated rubber tubes. To get to

the top of the slope, a rider and his tube, with a total mass of 88 kgkg , are pulled at a constant speed by a tow rope that maintains a constant tension of 350 NN .
How much thermal energy is created in the slope and the tube during the ascent of a 30-m-high, 120-m-long slope?

Answer:

16.10 kJ

Explanation:

The thermal energy created in the slope can be found by definition of work (W):

$W = E_{f} - E_{i} = K_{f} + P_{f} + Th_{f} - (K_{i} + Th_{i})$

<u>Where</u>:

$K_{f}$ and $K_{i}$ : is the final and initial kinetic energy

$P_{f}$ : is the final potential energy

$Th_{f}$ and $Th_{i}$ : is the final and initial thermal energy

$W = \frac{1}{2}mv_{f}^{2} + mgh - \frac{1}{2}mv_{i}^{2} + Th_{f} - Th_{i}$

We have that W is:

$W = F*d = T*d$

<u>Where</u>:

F: is the force equal to the tension (T)

d: is the displacement = 120 m

And since the speed is constant, $v_{i}$ = $v_{f}$ we have:

$T*d = mgh + \Delta Th$

$\Delta Th = T*d - mgh = 350 N*120 m - 88 kg*9.81 m/s^{2}*30 m = 16101.6 J$

Therefore, the thermal energy created in the slope and the tube during the ascent is 16.10 kJ.

I hope it helps you!

a partially inflated weather balloon has a volume of 1.56 * 10^3 L and a pressure of 98.9 lPa. What is the volume of the balloon

e-lub [12.9K]

To solve the problem, we enumerate all the given first. Then the required and lastly the solution.

Given:

V1= 1.56x10^3 L = 1560 L P2 = 44.1 kPa
P1 = 98.9 kPa

Required: V2

Solution:

Assuming the gas is ideal. Ideal gas follows Boyle's Law which states that at a given temperature the product of pressure and volume of a gas is constant. In equation,

PV = k

Applying to the problem, we have

P1*V1 = P2*V2
(98.9 kPa)*(1560 L) = (44.1 kPa)*V2
V2 = 3498.5 L

<em>ANSWER: V2 = 3498.5 L</em>

Which of the following expressions will have units of kg⋅m/s2? Select all that apply, where x is position, v is velocity, m is m

netineya [11]

Answer: $m \frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}$

Explanation:

In the image attached with this answer are shown the given options from which only one is correct.

The correct expression is:

$m \frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}$

Because, if we derive velocity $v_{t}$ with respect to time $t$ we will have acceleration $a$ , hence:

$m \frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}=m.a$

Where $m$ is the mass with units of kilograms ( $kg$ ) and $a$ with units of meter per square seconds $\frac{m}{s}^{2}$ , having as a result $kg\frac{m}{s}^{2}$

The other expressions are incorrect, let’s prove it:

$\frac{m}{2} \frac{d}{dx}{(v_{(x)})}^{2}=\frac{m}{2} 2v_{(x)}^{2-1}=mv_{(x)}$ This result has units of $kg\frac{m}{s}$

$m\frac{d}{dt}a_{(t)}=ma_{(t)}^{1-1}=m$ This result has units of $kg$

$m\int x_{(t)} dt= m \frac{{(x_{(t)})}^{1+1}}{1+1}+C=m\frac{{(x_{(t)})}^{2}}{2}+C$ This result has units of $kgm^{2}$ and $C$ is a constant

$m\frac{d}{dt}x_{(t)}=mx_{(t)}^{1-1}=m$ This result has units of $kg$

$m\frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}=mv_{(t)}^{1-1}=m$ This result has units of $kg$

$\frac{m}{2}\int {(v_{(t)})}^{2} dt= \frac{m}{2} \frac{{(v_{(t)})}^{2+1}}{2+1}+C=\frac{m}{6} {(v_{(t)})}^{3}+C$ This result has units of $kg \frac{m^{3}}{s^{3}}$ and $C$ is a constant

$m\int a_{(t)} dt= \frac{m {a_{(t)}}^{2}}{2}+C$ This result has units of $kg \frac{m^{2}}{s^{4}}$ and $C$ is a constant

$\frac{m}{2} \frac{d}{dt}{(v_{(x)})}^{2}=0$ because $v_{(x)}$ is a constant in this derivation respect to $t$

$m\int v_{(t)} dt= \frac{m {v_{(t)}}^{2}}{2}+C$ This result has units of $kg \frac{m^{2}}{s^{2}}$ and $C$ is a constant

An ant is crawling along a yardstick that is pointed with the 0-inch mark to the east and the 36-inch mark to the west. It start

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The total distance traveled is 28 inches.
The displacement is 2 inches to the east.

Explanation:

Lets put a frame of reference in the problem. Starting the frame of reference at the point with the 0-inch mark, and making the unit vector $\hat{i}$ pointing in the west direction, the ant start at position

$\vec{r}_0 = 16 \ inch \ \hat{i}$

Then, moves to

$\vec{r}_1 = 29 \ inch \ \hat{i}$

so, the distance traveled here is

$d_1 = |\vec{r}_1 - \vec{r}_0 | = | 29 \ inch \ \hat{i} - 16 \ inch \ \hat{i} |$

$d_1 = | 13 \ inch \ \hat{i} |$

$d_1 = 13 \ inch$

after this, the ant travels to

$\vec{r}_2 = 14 \ inch \ \hat{i}$

so, the distance traveled here is

$d_2 = |\vec{r}_2 - \vec{r}_1 | = | 14 \ inch \ \hat{i} - 29 \ inch \ \hat{i} |$

$d_2 = | - 15 \ inch \ \hat{i} |$

$d_2 = 15 \ inch$

The total distance traveled will be:

$d_1 + d_2 = 13 \ inch + 15 \ inch = 28 \ inch$

The displacement is the final position vector minus the initial position vector:

$\vec{D}=\vec{r}_2 - \vec{r}_1$

$\vec{D}= 14 \ inch \ \hat{i} - 16 \ inch \ \hat{i}$

$\vec{D}= - 2 \ inch \ \hat{i}$

This is 2 inches to the east.
