Felix expends 100 W of power to clomb 10 meters in 20 seconds how much force does he exert
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

200 N

Explanation:

Power = work / time

Work = force × distance

Therefore:

Power = force × distance / time

100 W = F × 10 m / 20 s

F = 200 N

He exerted 200 N.

When you cook a marshmallow on a metal poker tool over an open flame, energy is transferred. Identify the three different ways t
ss7ja [257]

When we cook a marshmallow on a metal poker tool over an open flame, there are three ways in which heat energy is transferred: Conduction, convection, and radiation.

<h3>Heat energy transfer</h3>

Heat transfer is the natural transfer of heat from an object with a higher temperature to an object with a lower temperature. Heat transfer can occur in three ways, namely conduction, convection, and  radiation.

  1. Conduction occurs when heat flows from a place with a high temperature to a place with a lower temperature using a fixed heat-conducting medium. Heat transfer from the open flame to the marshmallows via direct fire contact with the marshmallows is an example of conduction.
  2. Convection is the transfer of heat by means of a stream in which the intermediate substance also moves. If the particles move and cause heat to propagate, convection will occur. The hot air rising from the flames burning the marshmallows is an example of convection.
  3. Radiation is heat transfer without a medium. Radiation can also usually be accompanied by light. The direct transfer of heat from the flame to the marshmallow in the form of waves is an example of radiation.

A 3.53-g lead bullet traveling at 428 m/s strikes a target, converting its kinetic energy into thermal energy. Its initial tempe
Taya2010 [7]

Complete question:

A 3.53-g lead bullet traveling at 428 m/s strikes a target, converting its kinetic energy into thermal energy. Its initial temperature is 40.0°C. The specific heat is 128 J/(kg · °C), latent heat of fusion is 24.5 kJ/kg, and the melting point of lead is 327°C.

(a) Find the available kinetic energy of the bullet. J

(b) Find the heat required to melt the bullet. J

Answer:

Part (a) the available kinetic energy of the bullet is 323.32 J

Part (b) the heat required to melt the bullet is 216.17 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the bullet = 3.53 g = 0.00353 kg

velocity of the bullet = 428 m/s

initial temperature of the bullet = 40.0°C

final temperature of the bullet =  327°C

specific heat capacity, c= 128 J/(kg · °C)

latent heat of fusion, Hf  = 24.5 kJ/kg

Part (a) the available kinetic energy of the bullet. J

KE = ¹/₂ × mv²

KE = ¹/₂ × 0.00353 × 428²

     = 323.32 J

Part (b) the heat required to melt the bullet. J

This is the thermal energy required to increase the temperature of the bullet and the heat energy required to melt the bullet.

Quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of the bullet:

Q = mcΔT

   = 0.00353 × 128 × (327-40)

   = 0.00353 × 128 × 287

   = 129.68 J

Quantity of heat required to melt the bullet:

Q = mH_f

Q = 0.00353 × 24500

   = 86.49 J

TOTAL energy required to melt the bullet = 129.68 J + 86.49 J

                                                                      = 216.17 J
