Given:

Amount of heat produced = 100 kcal per hour

Let's find the rate of energy production in joules.

We know that:

1 calorie = 4.184 Joules

1 kcal = 4.184 Joules

To find the rate of energy production in Joules, we have:

$\begin{gathered} Rate=100\ast4.184 \\ \\ \text{Rate}=418.4\text{ KJ/hour} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the rate of energy production in joules is 418.4 kJ/h which is equivalent to 418400 Joules

ANSWER:

418.4 kJ/h

An astronaut is a short distance away from her space station without a tether rope. She has a large wrench. What should she do w

Hitman42 [59]

Answer: b. Throw it directly away from the space station.

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion, when two bodies interact between them, appear equal forces and opposite senses in each of them.

To understand it better:

Each time a body or object exerts a force on a second body or object, it (the second body) will exert a force of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction on the first.

So, if the astronaut throws the wrench away from the space station (in the opposite direction of the space station), according to Newton's third law, she will be automatically moving towards the station and be safe.

Question Part Points Submissions Used A car is stopped for a traffic signal. When the light turns green, the car accelerates, in

olya-2409 [2.1K]

(a) 328.6 kg m/s

The linear impulse experienced by the passenger in the car is equal to the change in momentum of the passenger:

$I=\Delta p = m\Delta v$

where

m = 62.0 kg is the mass of the passenger

$\Delta v$ is the change in velocity of the car (and the passenger), which is

$\Delta v = 5.30 m/s - 0 = 5.30 m/s$

So, the linear impulse experienced by the passenger is

$I=(62.0 kg)(5.30 m/s)=328.6 kg m/s$

(b) 404.7 N

The linear impulse experienced by the passenger is also equal to the product between the average force and the time interval:

$I=F \Delta t$

where in this case

$I=328.6 kg m/s$ is the linear impulse

$\Delta t = 0.812 s$ is the time during which the force is applied

Solving the equation for F, we find the magnitude of the average force experienced by the passenger:

$F=\frac{I}{\Delta t}=\frac{328.6 kg m/s}{0.812 s}=404.7 N$

At 4.00 l, an expandable vessel contains 0.864 mol of oxygen gas. how many liters of oxygen gas must be added at constant temper

svet-max [94.6K]

Givens
=====
V = 4.00 L
T = 273oK We're assuming the temperature does not change, just the pressure.
n = 0.864 moles
R = 8.314 joules / mole * oK
P = ?????

Formula
======
PV = n*R*T
P = n*R*T/V
P = 0.864 * 8.314 * 273 / 4
P = 490 kpa

You have to add 1.6 – 0.864 = 0.736 moles of gas.

We have to assume that the temperature and pressure remain the same when we add the 0.736 moles of gas. We are now looking for the volume.

PV = n*R*T

V = 0.736 * 8.314 * 273 / 490

V = 3.41 L Remember this is at about 4 atmospheres so we have to convert to Standard Pressure.

Total Volume = 3.41 + 4.00 = 4.41

V1 * P1 = V2 * P2

P1 = 490 kPa

P2 = 101 kPa

V1 = 7.41 L

V2 = ????

7.41* 490 = V2 * 101 V2 = 7.41 * 490 / 101 V2 = 35.94 L

You had 4 L now you need 31.94 more.
