You look down an old well, cannot see the bottom, and mutter to yourself "Oh well!". In order to estimate the depth of the well,

you then drop five stones and record the time for each to impact: 2.19s, 2.30s, 2.26s, 2.29s, and 2.27s. What is the best estimate of the depth of the well? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

The best estimate of the depth of the well is 2.3 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Record time,

t_{1}=2.19\ sec

t_{2}=2.30\ sec

t_{3}=2.26\ sec

t_{4}=2.29\ sec

t_{5}=2.27\ sec

We need to find the best estimate of the depth of the well

According to record time,

We can write of the record time

t_{1}=2.19\approx 2.2\ sec

t_{2}=2.30\approx 2.3\ sec

t_{3}=2.26\approx 2.3\ sec

t_{4}=2.29\approx 2.3\ sec

t_{5}=2.27\approx 2.3\ sec

Here, all time is nearest 2.3 sec.

So, we can say that the best estimate of the depth of the well is 2.3 sec.

Hence, The best estimate of the depth of the well is 2.3 sec.

Calculate the Latent Heat of Vaporization. (Please see picture attached)
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

20 J/g

Explanation:

In this question, we are required to determine the latent heat of vaporization

  • To answer the question, we need to ask ourselves the questions:

What is latent heat of vaporization?

  • It is the amount of heat required to change a substance from its liquid state to gaseous state without change in temperature.
  • It is the amount of heat absorbed by a substance as it boils.

How do we calculate the latent heat of vaporization?

  • Latent heat is calculated by dividing the amount of heat absorbed by the mass of the substance.

In this case;

  • Mass of the substance = 20 g
  • Heat absorbed as the substance boils is 400 J (1000 J - 600 J)

Thus,

Latent heat of vaporization = Quantity of Heat ÷ Mass

                                             = 400 Joules ÷ 20 g

                                             = 20 J/g

Thus, the latent heat of vaporization is 20 J/g

A car is traveling at 75 m/s. 50 seconds later it is traveling at 25 m/s. What is the car’s acceleration?
scoray [572]

Answer:

a = -1 m/s^2

Explanation:

Vi = 75 m/s

Vf = 25 m/s

t = 50 s

Plug those values into the following equation:

Vf = Vi + at

25 = 75 + 50a

---> a = -1 m/s^2
