Answer:

(3) 5.4 × 10^3 J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the bicyclist can be calculated using the following equation:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m = 75 kg is the mass of the bicyclist

v = 12 m/s is the speed of the byciclist

By substituting these numbers into the equation, we find:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}(75 kg)(12 m/s)^2=5400 J=5.4 \cdot 10^3 J$

So, the correct answer is

(3) 5.4 × 10^3 J

Kinetic E=1/2mv^2

KE = 1/2 * 75 * 12^2 = 5400J = 5.4*10^3 J

Water evaporating from a pond does so as if it were diffusing across an air film 0.15 cm thick. The diffusion coefficient of wat

QveST [7]

Answer:

The water level will drop by about 1.24 cm in 1 day.

Explanation:

Here Mass flux of water vapour is given as

$j_{H_2O}=\frac{D}{l} \bigtriangleup c$

where

$j_{H_2O}$ is the mass flux of the water which is to be calculated.

D is diffusion coefficient which is given as $0.25 cm^2/s$

l is the thickness of the film which is 0.15 cm thick.
$\bigtriangleup c$ is given as

$\bigtriangleup c= \frac{P_{sat}-P_a}{RT}$

In this

$P_{sat}$ is the saturated water pressure, which is look up from the saturated water property at 20°C and 0.5 saturation given as 2.34 Pa

$P_a$ is the air pressure which is given as 0.5 times of $P_{sat}$

R is the universal gas constant as $8.314 kJ/kmol-K$

T is the temperature in Kelvin scale which is $20+273= 293K$

By substituting values in the equation

$\bigtriangleup c= \frac{P_{sat}-P_a}{RT} \\ \bigtriangleup c= \frac{P_{sat}-0.5P_{sat}}{RT} \\ \bigtriangleup c= \frac{0.5P_{sat}}{RT} \\ \bigtriangleup c= \frac{0.5 \times 2.34}{8.314 \times 293} \\\bigtriangleup c= 0.48 mol/m^3$
