If a calorie is equivalent to 4.184 joules how many joules are contained in 250 kg calories slice of pizza

1 answer:

6 0

In order to answer this, we will set up a simple ratio as such:

1 calorie = 4.184 joules

1 kilocalorie = 1000 calories

1 kilocalorie = 4,184 joules

250 kilocalories = x joules

Cross multiplying the second and third equations, we get:

x joules = 4,184 * 250

250 kilocalories are equivalent to 1,046 kJ

a sealed cylinder contains a sample of ideal gas at a pressure of 2.0 atm. The rms speed of the molecules is v0. If the rms spee

fredd [130]

Answer:

P_2 = 1.62 atm

Explanation:

We know the formula for the rms speed of the ideal gas is given by

$v_{rsm}=\sqrt{\frac{3PV}{m} }$

P= pressure of the surrounding

V= volume of the vessel

m= mass of the gas

Now, From this formula rms speed (v_rms) is directly proportional to square root is pressure.

Then

$\frac{v_{rsm,1}}{v_{rsm,2}} =\sqrt{\frac{P_1}{P_2} }$

given that v_rsm,1= v0

and v_rsm,2=0.9v0

putting these values we get

$\frac{v0}{0.9v0} =\sqrt{\frac{2}{P_2} }$

P_2 = 1.62 atm

A light-rail train going from one station to the next on a straight section of track accelerates from rest at 1.1 m/s^2 for 20s.

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

A) The distance between the stations is 1430m

B) The time it takes the train to go between the stations is 80s

Explanation:

First we will calculate the distance covered for the first 20s.

From one the equations of kinematics for linear motion

$S = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2} \\$

Where $S$ is distance traveled

$u$ is the initial velocity

$t$ is time

and $a$ is acceleration

Since the train starts from rest, $u$ = 0 m/s

Hence, for the first 20s

$a =$ 1.1 m/s²; $t =$ 20s, $u$ = 0 m/s

∴ $S = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2} \\$ gives

$S = (0)(20) + \frac{1}{2}(1.1)(20)^{2}$

$S = \frac{1}{2}(1.1)(20)^{2}$

$S =$ 220m

This is the distance covered in the first 20s.

The train then proceeds at constant speed for 1100m.

Now, we will calculate the speed attained here

From

$v = u +at$

Where $v$ is the final velocity

Hence,

$v = 0 + 1.1(20)$

$v = 1.1(20)$

$v =$ 22 m/s

This is the constant speed attained when it proceeds for 1100m

The train then slows down at a rate of 2.2 m/s² until it stops

We can calculate the distance covered while slowing down from

$v^{2} = u^{2} + 2as$

The initial velocity, $u$ here will be the final velocity before it started slowing down

∴ $u$ = 22 m/s

The final velocity will be 0, since it came to a stop.

∴ $v$ = 0 m/s

$a = -$ 2.2 m/s² ( - indicates deceleration)

Hence,

$v^{2} = u^{2} + 2as$ gives

$0^{2} =22^{2} +2(-2.2)s$

$0=22^{2} - (4.4)s\\4.4s = 484\\s = \frac{484}{4.4} \\s = 110m$

This is the distance traveled while slowing down.

A) The distance between the stations is

220m + 1100m + 110m

= 1430m

Hence, the distance between the stations is 1430m

B) The time it takes the train to go between the stations

The time spent while accelerating at 1.1 m/s² is 20s

We will calculate the time spent when it proceeds at a constant speed of 22 m/s for 1100m,

From,

$Speed =\frac{Distance}{Time}\\$

Then,

$Time = \frac{Distance}{Speed}$

$Time = \frac{1100}{22}$

Time = 50 s

And then, the time spent while decelerating (that is, while slowing down)

From,

$v = u + at\\0 = 22 +(-2.2)t\\2.2t = 22\\t = \frac{22}{2.2} \\t= 10 s$

This is the time spent while slowing down until it stops at the station.

Hence, The time it takes the train to go between the stations is

20s + 50s + 10s = 80s

The time it takes the train to go between the stations is 80s
