This force on compass dials is an example of a force that acts at a distance.  (A compass doesn't need to touch the molten core of the Earth in order to work correctly.)

The suspension cable of a 1,000 kg elevator snaps, sending the elevator moving downward through its shaft. The emergency brakes
tester [92]

Answer:

option (E) 1,000,000 J

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the suspension cable, m = 1,000 kg

Distance, h = 100 m

Now,

from the work energy theorem

Work done by the gravity = Work done by brake

or

mgh = Work done by brake

where, g is the acceleration due to the gravity = 10 m/s²

or

Work done by brake  = 1000 × 10 × 100

or

Work done by brake = 1,000,000 J

this work done is the release of heat in the brakes

Hence, the correct answer is option (E) 1,000,000 J

In the ENGR 10 lab (E391), there are 50 long light bulbs (P=100 W) and 30 regular bulbs (P=60 W). How much energy is consumed li
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Total energy saving will be 0.8 KWH

Explanation:

We have given there are 50 long light bulbs of power 100 W so total power of 50 bulb = 100×50 = 5000 W = 5 KW

30 bulbs are of power 60 W

So total power of 30 bulbs = 30×60 = 1800 W = 1.8 KW

Total power of 80 bulbs = 1.8+5 = 6.8 KW

Total time = 3 hour

We know that energy E=power\times time=6.8\times 3=20.4KWH

Now power of each CFL bulb = 25 W

So power of 80 bulbs = 80×25 = 2000 W = 2 KW

Energy of 80 bulbs = 2×3 = 6 KWH

So total energy saving = 6.8-6 = 0.8 KWH

550 J of work must be done to compress a gas to half its initial volume at constant temperature. How much work must be done to c
Over [174]

Answer:

The amount of work that must be done to compress the gas 11 times less than its initial pressure is 909.091 J

Explanation:

The given variables are

Work done = 550 J

Volume change = V₂ - V₁ = -0.5V₁

Thus the product of pressure and volume change = work done by gas, thus

P × -0.5V₁ = 500 J

Hence -PV₁ = 1000 J

also P₁/V₁ = P₂/V₂ but V₂ = 0.5V₁ Therefore  P₁/V₁ = P₂/0.5V₁ or P₁ = 2P₂

Also to compress the gas by a factor of 11 we have

P (V₂ - V₁) = P×(V₁/11 -V₁) = P(11V₁ - V₁)/11 = P×-10V₁/11 = -PV₁×10/11 = 1000 J ×10/11  = 909.091 J of work
