An elevator held by a single cable is ascending but slowing down. Is the work done by tension positive, negative, or zero? What

about the work done by gravity? Explain
Physics

Explanation:

1.) Work = Force*Distance

2.) The direction of motion lies in the same direction as the tension in the cable. So the work done by tension would be positive.

3.) The direction of the weight (due to gravity) would act opposite to the direction of motion of the elevator, so work done by gravity becomes negative.

Newton's third law tells us that for every force there is an equal and opposite force.  This means that if Anna exerts a force of 20 Newtons on the box, the box exerts a force of 20 Newtons on Anna.

To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 25.1 Power and Energy in Circuits. A device for heating a cup of water in a car connects to
jeyben [28]

Answer:

The time to boil the water is 877 s

Explanation:

The first thing we must do is calculate the external resistance (R) of the circuit, from the description we notice that it is a series circuit, by which the resistors are added

    V = i (r + R)

We replace we calculate

     r + R = V / i

     R = v / i - r

     R = 10/12 -0.04

     R = 0.793 Ω

We calculate the power supplied

     P = V i = I² R

     P = 12² 0.793

     P = 114 W

This is the power dissipated in the external resistance

We use the relationship, that power is work per unit of time and that work is the variation of energy

     P = E / t

     t = E / P

     t = 100 10³/114

     t = 877 s

The time to boil the water is 877 s

In the context of energy transfers with hot and cold reservoirs, the sign convention is that _______________.
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

B. QC > 0; QH < 0

Explanation:

Given that there are two reservoir of energy.

Sign convention for heat and work :

1.If the heat is adding to the system then it is taken as positive and if heat is going out from the system then it is taken as negative.

2. If the work is done on the system then it is taken as negative and if the work is done by the system then it is taken as positive.

From hot reservoir heat is going out that is why it is taken as negative

Q_H

From cold reservoir heat is coming inside the reservoir that is why it is taken as positive

Q_C>0

That is why the answer will be

Q_H ,Q_C>0

In a 5000 m race, the athletes run 12 1/2 laps; each lap is 400 m.Kara runs the race at a constant pace and finishes in 17.9 min
Ksju [112]

Answer:

No. of laps of Hannah are 7 (approx).

Solution:

According to the question:

The total distance to be covered, D = 5000 m

The distance for each lap, x = 400 m

Time taken by Kara, t_{K} = 17.9 min = 17.9\times 60 = 1074 s

Time taken by Hannah, t_{H} = 15.3 min = 15.3\times 60 = 918 s

Now, the speed of Kara and Hannah can be calculated respectively as:

v_{K} = \frac{D}{t_{K}} = \frac{5000}{1074} = 4.65 m/s

v_{H} = \frac{D}{t_{H}} = \frac{5000}{918} = 5.45 m/s

Time taken in each lap is given by:

(v_{H} - v_{K})t = x

(5.45 - 4.65)\times t = 400

t = \frac{400}{0.8}

t = 500 s

So, Distance covered by Hannah in 't' sec is given by:

d_{H} = v_{H}\times t

d_{H} = 5.45\times 500 = 2725 m

No. of laps taken by Hannah when she passes Kara:

n_{H} = \frac{d_{H}}{x}

n_{H} = \frac{2725}{400} = 6.8 ≈ 7 laps
