The athlete is doing work because he prevents the weight from falling downward
Answer:
Before the plank will tip cat will walk 1.652 m
Explanation:
Mass of the cat along with plank
Center of mass of the plank
Mass of cat
We have to find how far right of sawhorse B.
Plank will tip when weight of the cat about B is greater than the torque by the weight of the plank.
Balancing the the torque
The gravitational force between earth and moon will increase.
by F = GMm/r^2
F is inversely proportional to r^2
when r decrease, F will increase.
Answer:
Work: 4.0 kJ, heat: 4.25 kJ
Explanation:
For a gas transformation at constant pressure, the work done by the gas is given by
where in this case we have:
is the pressure
is the initial volume
is the final volume
Substituting,
The 1st law of thermodynamics also states that
where
is the change in internal energy of the gas
Q is the heat absorbed by the gas
Here we know that
Therefore we can re-arrange the equation to find the heat absorbed by the gas:
The gas would also decrease in size since the container lost gas to decrease the size of the container.
