Why is it better to give the actual speed of an object rather than to simply say it moved fast or it moved slowly

Specificity. It’s really loose to say that something is fast, since speed can be scalarly linked and relative. I could say that both a car on the highway is fast, but so is the speed of light. The actual speed of something helps to do away with the arbitrary nature of using “fast” and “slow”; however, we’re still at step one of the person who is receiving the information is unfamiliar with the scale that the actual speed is defined in.

Calculate the amount of energy when water at 72 degrees c freezes completely at 0 degrees c
gtnhenbr [62]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The amount of energy needed when water at 72 degrees c freezes completely at 0 degrees c is 6.37\times10^4 Joules</em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Q = m \times c \times \Delta T

where

\Delta T = Final T - Initial T

$Q_{1}=100 g \times 4.184 \frac{J}{g^{\circ} \mathrm{C}} \times\left(72^{\circ} \mathrm{C}-0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)$

Q_1 =30125J

Q is the heat energy in Joules  

c is the specific heat capacity (for water 1.0  cal/(g℃))  or 4.184  J/(g℃)

m is the mass of water

mass of water is assumed as 100 g (since not mentioned)

Q_2  is the heat energy required for the phase change

Q_2 =mass × heat of fusion

\\$Q_{2}=100 g \times 336 \frac{J}{g}$\\\\$Q_{2}=33600 J$

Total heat = Q_1 + Q_2

Total Heat = 30123J + 33600J

= 63725 J

= 6.37\times10^4 Joules is the answer

The pressure on a 200 milliliter sample of CO2 (g) at constant temperature is increased from
balu736 [363]

The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.

  • <u><em>Therefore the final volume of the gas is 100 ml.</em></u>

Explanation:

 Given:

Initial pressure (P_{1}) = 600 mm of Hg

Final pressure (P_{2}) = 1200 mm of Hg

Initial volume (V_{1}) = 200 ml      

To find:

Final volume (V_{2})

We know;

According to the ideal gas equation,

    P × V = n × R × T

Where;

P represents the pressure of the gas

V represents the volume of the gas

n represents the no of moles of the gas

R represents the universal gas constant

T represents the temperature of the gas

So,

 From the above mentioned equation,

        P × V = constant

\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} } = \frac{V_{1} }{V_{2} }

Where,

(P_{1}) represents the initial pressure of the gas

(P_{2}) represents the final pressure of the gas

(V_{1})  represents the initial volume of the gas

(V_{2})  represents the final volume of the gas

So;

\frac{600}{1200} = \frac{V_{2} }{200}    

V_{2} = 100 ml

<u><em>Therefore the final volume of the gas is 100 ml.</em></u>
