Given data:

Mass of oyster (m) = 25 g,

= 0.025 kg ( since 1 Kg = 1000 g)

Height of oyster (h) = 11 m,

determine gravitational potential energy (GPE) = ?

Gravitational potential energy is energy of an object possesses because of its position on the earth. The amount of gravitational potential energy of an object on earth depends on its mass and height from the earth.

Mathematically,

GPE = m. g. h Joules

Where,

GPE = gravitational potential energy,

m = mass of object in Kg,

g = gravitational force in m/s², g = 9.8 m/s²

h = height of the object in meters,

Now substituting all the values in the equation GPE

GPE = 0.025 Kg × 9.8 m/s² × 11 m

= 2.695 J

Gravitational potential energy of the oyster is 2.695 J

Based on the principles of convection, conduction and thermal radiation, which scenario below is most similar to the following s

Ksivusya [100]

The situation (heat going through the ceiling) describes
conduction ... heat going from one place to another by
soaking through some material.

A). This is the one. Heat goes from from the marshmallow
to your hand by soaking through the wire. This is conduction too.

B). No. The heat in the room goes from the floor to the ceiling
because the warm air rises and carries it there. This is convection.

C). No. There's nothing for the heat to soak through between
the sun and the roof, and nothing that can move from the sun
to the roof and bring the heat with it. This is radiation.

D). No. Cold water sinks from the surface to the bottom because
warm water rose from the bottom to the surface, taking heat with it.
This is convection.

A rigid, insulated tank whose volume is 10 L is initially evacuated. A pinhole leak develops and air from the surroundings at 1

balandron [24]

Answer:

The answer is " $143.74^{\circ} \ C , 8.36\ g, and \ 2.77\ \frac{K}{J}$ "

Explanation:

For point a:

Energy balance equation:

$\frac{dU}{dt}= Q-Wm_ih_i-m_eh_e\\\\$

$W=0\\\\Q=0\\\\m_e=0$

From the above equation:

$\frac{dU}{dt}=0-0+m_ih_i-0\\\\\Delta U=\int^{2}_{1}m_ih_idt\\\\$

because the rate of air entering the tank that is $h_i$ constant.

$\Delta U = h_i \int^{2}_{1} m_i dt \\\\= h_i(m_2 -m_1)\\\\m_2u_2-m_1u_2=h_i(M_2-m_1)\\\\$

Since the tank was initially empty and the inlet is constant hence, $m_2u-0=h_1(m_2-0)\\\\m_2u_2=h_1m_2\\\\u_2=h_1\\\\$

Interpolate the enthalpy between $T = 300 \ K \ and\ T=295\ K$ . The surrounding air

temperature:

$T_1= 25^{\circ}\ C\ (298.15 \ K)\\\\\frac{h_{300 \ K}-h_{295\ K}}{300-295}= \frac{h_{300 \ K}-h_{1}}{300-295.15}$

Substituting the value from ideal gas:

$\frac{300.19-295.17}{300-295}=\frac{300.19-h_{i}}{300-298.15}\\\\h_i= 298.332 \ \frac{kJ}{kg}\\\\Now,\\\\h_i=u_2\\\\u_2=h_i=298.33\ \frac{kJ}{kg}$

Follow the ideal gas table.

The $u_2= 298.33\ \frac{kJ}{kg}$ and between temperature $T =410 \ K \ and\ T=240\ K.$

Interpolate

$\frac{420-410}{u_{240\ k} -u_{410\ k}}=\frac{420-T_2}{u_{420 k}-u_2}$

Substitute values from the table.

$\frac{420-410}{300.69-293.43}=\frac{420-T_2}{{u_{420 k}-u_2}}\\\\T_2=416.74\ K\\\\=143.74^{\circ} \ C\\\\$

For point b:

Consider the ideal gas equation. therefore, p is pressure, V is the volume, m is mass of gas. $\bar{R} \ is\ \frac{R}{M}$ (M is the molar mass of the gas that is $28.97 \ \frac{kg}{mol}$ and R is gas constant), and T is the temperature.

$n=\frac{pV}{TR}\\\\$

$=\frac{(1.01 \times 10^5 \ Pa) \times (10\ L) (\frac{10^{-3} \ m^3}{1\ L})}{(416.74 K) (\frac{8.314 \frac{J}{mol.k} }{2897\ \frac{kg}{mol})}}\\\\=8.36\ g\\\\$

For point c:

Entropy is given by the following formula:

$\Delta S = mC_v \In \frac{T_2}{T_1}\\\\=0.00836 \ kg \times 1.005 \times 10^{3} \In (\frac{416.74\ K}{298.15\ K})\\\\=2.77 \ \frac{J}{K}$
