A lighthouse is located on a small island 5 km away from the nearest point p on a straight shoreline and its light makes two rev

olutions per minute. how fast is the beam of light moving along the shoreline when it is 1 km from p? (round your answer to one decimal place.)

The distance starting from the point to the lighthouse would be regarded as the hypotenuse.

And also will be the radius of the circle the beam of light is generating at that point. 


So get the radius first

r = sqrt (1^2 + 5^2)

r = 5.099 km


find the circumference:

C = 2*pi * 5.099 km

C = 2 * 16.01898094

C = 32.04 km


Then find the speed in km/sec

One revolution: 60/2 = 30 sec per revolution

Speed = 32.04 km/30 sec

S = 1.068 km/sec is the speed of light

A well lagged copper calorimeter of mas 120g contains 70g of water and 10g ice both at 0°C . Dry steam at 100°C is passed in unt
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

7.6 g

Explanation:

"Well lagged" means insulated, so there's no heat transfer between the calorimeter and the surroundings.

The heat gained by the copper, water, and ice = the heat lost by the steam

Heat gained by the copper:

q = mCΔT

q = (120 g) (0.40 J/g/K) (40°C − 0°C)

q = 1920 J

Heat gained by the water:

q = mCΔT

q = (70 g) (4.2 J/g/K) (40°C − 0°C)

q = 11760 J

Heat gained by the ice:

q = mL + mCΔT

q = (10 g) (320 J/g) + (10 g) (4.2 J/g/K) (40°C − 0°C)

q = 4880 J

Heat lost by the steam:

q = mL + mCΔT

q = m (2200 J/g) + m (4.2 J/g/K) (100°C − 40°C)

q = 2452 J/g m

Plugging the values into the equation:

1920 J + 11760 J + 4880 J = 2452 J/g m

18560 J = 2452 J/g m

m = 7.6 g

A 1.00-kg sample of steam at 100.0 °C condenses to water at 100.0 °C. What is the entropy change of the sample if the latent hea
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The entropy change of the sample of water =  6.059 x 10³ J/K.mol

Explanation:

Entropy: Entropy can be defined as the measure of the degree of disorder or randomness of a substance. The S.I unit of Entropy is J/K.mol

Mathematically, entropy is expressed as

ΔS = ΔH/T....................... Equation 1

Where ΔH = heat absorbed or evolved, T = absolute temperature.

<em>Given:  If 1 mole of water = 0.0018 kg,</em>

<em>ΔH = latent heat × mass = 2.26 x 10⁶ × 1 = 2.26x 10⁶ J.</em>

<em>T = 100 °C = (100+273)  K = 373 K.</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1,</em>

<em>ΔS =2.26x 10⁶/373</em>

ΔS = 6.059 x 10³ J/K.mol

Therefore the entropy change of the sample of water =  6.059 x 10³ J/K.mol

Two tugboats are moving a barge. Tugboat A pushes on the barge with a force of 3000n. Tugboat B pulls with a force of 5000 Newto
kenny6666 [7]

The net force on the barge is 8000 N

Explanation:

In order to find the net force on the badge, we have to use the rules of vector addition, since force is a vector quantity.

In this problem, we have two forces:

  • The force of tugboat A, F_A = 3000 N, acting in a certain direction
  • The force of tugboat B, F_B = 5000 N, also acting in the same direction

Since the two forces act in the same direction, this means that we can simply add their magnitudes to find the net combined force on the barge. Therefore, we get

F=F_A+F_B = 3000 + 5000 = 8000 N

and the direction is the same as the direction of the two forces.

When Missourians carve their initials into the bark of a tree, the damage leaves the tree open to ____________________.
sasho [114]

Answer:

In fact, carving letters into a tree probably won't hurt it. ... In general, the tree will compartmentalize the wound and it will heal over. The initials that remain visible are essentially scar tissue, permanent scar tissue.

Explanation:

Unfortunately, when carving into the trunk of a tree the blade of a knife often penetrates the outer bark and cuts into the inner bark. ... In cases that the phloem is damaged all the way around the trunk (in a ring for example), the tree will slowly and eventually starve to death.
