Calculate the Latent Heat of Vaporization. (Please see picture attached)

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

20 J/g

Explanation:

In this question, we are required to determine the latent heat of vaporization

To answer the question, we need to ask ourselves the questions:

What is latent heat of vaporization?

It is the amount of heat required to change a substance from its liquid state to gaseous state without change in temperature.

It is the amount of heat absorbed by a substance as it boils.

How do we calculate the latent heat of vaporization?

Latent heat is calculated by dividing the amount of heat absorbed by the mass of the substance.

In this case;

Mass of the substance = 20 g
Heat absorbed as the substance boils is 400 J (1000 J - 600 J)

Thus,

Latent heat of vaporization = Quantity of Heat ÷ Mass

= 400 Joules ÷ 20 g

= 20 J/g

Thus, the latent heat of vaporization is 20 J/g

An electron is accelrated by a unifor electric field (1000v/m) pointing vertically upward. Use energy methods to get the magnitu

ExtremeBDS [4]

Explanation:

In the given situation two forces are working. These are:

1) Electric force (acting in the downward direction) = qE

2) weight (acting in the downward direction) = mg

Therefore, work done by all the forces = change in kinetic energy

Hence, $qE \times S + mg \times S = 0.5 \times mv^{2}$

$1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000 + 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 9.8 \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2}$

It is known that the weight of electron is far less compared to electric force. Therefore, we can neglect the weight and the above equation will be as follows.

$(1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000) \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2
}$

v = $sqrt{\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{(0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31})}$

= 592999 m/s

Since, the electron is travelling downwards it means that it looses the potential energy.

A large power plant heats 1917 kg of water per second to high-temperature steam to run its electrical generators.

erastova [34]

Complete Question

A large power plant heats 1917 kg of water per second to high-temperature steam to run its electrical generators.

(a) How much heat transfer is needed each second to raise the water temperature from 35.0°C to 100°C, boil it, and then raise the resulting steam from 100°C to 450°C? Specific heat of water is 4184 J/(kg · °C), the latent heat of vaporization of water is 2256 kJ/kg, and the specific heat of steam is 1520 J/(kg · °C).

J

(b) How much power is needed in megawatts? (Note: In real power plants, this process occurs under high pressure, which alters the boiling point. The results of this problem are only approximate.)

MW

Answer:

The heat transferred is $Q = 5.866 * 10^9 J$

The power is $P = 5866\ MW$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass of the water per second is $m = 1917 \ kg$

The initial temperature of the water is $T_i = 35^oC$

The boiling point of water is $T_b = 100^oC$

The final temperature $T_f = 450^oC$

The latent heat of vapourization of water is $c__{L}} = 2256*10^3 J/kg$

The specific heat of water $c_w = 4184 J/kg^oC$

The specific heat of stem is $C_s =1520 \ J/kg ^oC$

Generally the heat needed each second is mathematically represented as

$Q = m[c_w (T_i - T_b) + m* c__{L}} + m* c__{S}} (T_f - T_b)]$

Then substituting the value

$Q = m[c_w [T_i - T_b] + c__{L}} + C__{S}} [T_f - T_b]]$

$Q = 1917 [(4184) [100 - 35] + [2256 * 10^3] +[1520] [450 - 100]]$

$Q = 1917 * [3.05996 * 10^6]$

$Q = 5.866 * 10^9 J$

The power required is mathematically represented as

$P = \frac{Q}{t}$

From the question $t = 1\ s$

So

$P = \frac{5.866 *10^9}{1}$

$P = 5866*10^6 \ W$

$P = 5866\ MW$

A solid sphere, a solid disk, and a thin hoop are all released from rest at the top of the incline (h0 = 20.0 cm).

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

a. The object with the smallest rotational inertia, the thin hoop

b. The object with the smallest rotational inertia, the thin hoop

c. The rotational speed of the sphere is 55.8 rad/s and Its translational speed is 1.67 m/s

Explanation:

a. Without doing any calculations, decide which object would be spinning the fastest when it gets to the bottom. Explain.

Since the thin has the smallest rotational inertia. This is because, since kinetic energy of a rotating object K = 1/2Iω² where I = rotational inertia and ω = angular speed.

ω = √2K/I

ω ∝ 1/√I

since their kinetic energy is the same, so, the thin hoop which has the smallest rotational inertia spins fastest at the bottom.

b. Again, without doing any calculations, decide which object would get to the bottom first.

Since the acceleration of a rolling object a = gsinФ/(1 + I/MR²), and all three objects have the same kinetic energy, the object with the smallest rotational inertia has the largest acceleration.

This is because a ∝ 1/(1 + I/MR²) and the object with the smallest rotational inertia has the smallest ratio for I/MR² and conversely small 1 + I/MR² and thus largest acceleration.

So, the object with the smallest rotational inertia gets to the bottom first.

c. Assuming all objects are rolling without slipping, have a mass of 2.00 kg and a radius of 3.00 cm, find the rotational and translational speed at the bottom of the incline of any one of these three objects.

We know the kinetic energy of a rolling object K = 1/2Iω² + 1/2mv² where I = rotational inertia and ω = angular speed, m = mass and v = velocity of center of mass = rω where r = radius of object

The kinetic energy K = potential energy lost = mgh where h = 20.0 cm = 0.20 m and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

So, mgh = 1/2Iω² + 1/2mv² = 1/2Iω² + 1/2mr²ω²

Let I = moment of inertia of sphere = 2mr²/5 where r = radius of sphere = 3.00 cm = 0.03 m and m = mass of sphere = 2.00 kg

So, mgh = 1/2Iω² + 1/2mr²ω²

mgh = 1/2(2mr²/5 )ω² + 1/2mr²ω²

mgh = mr²ω²/5 + 1/2mr²ω²

mgh = 7mr²ω²/10

gh = 7r²ω²/10

ω² = 10gh/7r²

ω = √(10gh/7) ÷ r

substituting the values of the variables, we have

ω = √(10 × 9.8 m/s² × 0.20 m/7) ÷ 0.03 m

= 1.673 m/s ÷ 0.03 m

= 55.77 rad/s

≅ 55.8 rad/s

So, its rotational speed is 55.8 rad/s

Its translational speed v = rω

= 0.03 m × 55.8 rad/s

= 1.67 m/s

So, its rotational speed is of the sphere is 55.8 rad/s and Its translational speed is 1.67 m/s
