Explanation:

When we heat a fluid (liquid or gas) then hot material (less dense) will rise to the top and cool material (more dense) will sink at the bottom. Hence, this process of inter mixing of fluids is known as convection.

So, when we hold our hand over a pot of boiling water then due to the convection process taking place we feel heat on our hand. Whereas when there occurs direct touch between two objects of different temperature then this heat transfer is known as conduction.

Thus, we can conclude that the boiling water is transferring heat to your hand through convection.

1. A base-ball of mass 0.3kg approaches the bat at a speed of 30 miles/hour and when the ball hits the bat for 0.5 s, it started
andre [41]

Answer:

I = 27kg.mi/h

Explanation:

In order to calculate the impulse of the ball, you use the following formula:

I=m\Delta v  =m(v-v_o)      (1)

m: mass of the ball = 0.3kg

v: speed of the ball after the bat hit it = 60mi/h

vo: speed of the ball before the bat hit it = 30mi/h

You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

I=(0.3kg)(60mi/h-(-30mi/h))=27kg\frac{mi}{h}

where the minus sign of the initial velocity means that the motion of the ball is opposite to the final direction of such a motion.

The imulpse of the ball is 27 kg.miles/hour

Two moles of helium are initially at a temperature of 21.0 ∘Cand occupy a volume of 3.30×10−2 m3 . The helium first expands at c
Anettt [7]

Answer:

(B) The total internal energy of the helium is 4888.6 Joules

(C) The total work done by the helium is 2959.25 Joules

(D) The final volume of the helium is 0.066 cubic meter

Explanation:

(B) ∆U = P(V2 - V1)

From ideal gas equation, PV = nRT

T1 = 21°C = 294K, V1 = 0.033m^3, n = 2moles, V2 = 2× 0.033=0.066m^3

P = nRT ÷ V = (2×8.314×294) ÷ 0.033 = 148140.4 Pascal

∆U = 148140.4(0.066 - 0.033) = 4888.6 Joules

(C) P2 = P1(V1÷V2)^1.4 =148140.4(0.033÷0.066)^1.4= 148140.4×0.379=56134.7 Pascal

Assuming a closed system

(C) Wc = (P1V1 - P2V2) ÷ 0.4 = (148140.4×0.033 - 56134.7×0.066) ÷ 0.4 = (4888.6 - 3704.9) ÷ 0.4 = 1183.7 ÷ 0.4 = 2959.25 Joules

(C) Final volume = 2×initial volume = 2×0.033= 0.066 cubic meter
