A college student is working on her physics homework in her dorm room. her room contains a total of 6.0×1026 gas molecules. as s

he works, her body is converting chemical energy into thermal energy at a rate of 125 w. part a if her dorm room were an isolated system (dorm rooms can certainly feel like that) and if all of this thermal energy were transferred to the air in the room, by how much would the temperature increase in 11 min ?

<span>6.6 degrees C Let's model the student as a 125 w furnace that's been operating for 11 minutes. So 125 w * 11 min = 125 kg*m^2/s^3 * 11 min * 60 s/min = 82500 kg*m^2/s^2 = 82500 Joule So the average kinetic energy increase of each gas molecule is 82500 J / 6.0x10^26 = 1.38x10^-22 J Now the equation that relates kinetic energy to temperature is: E = (3/2)Kb*Tk E = average kinetic energy of the gas particles Kb = Boltzmann constant (1.3806504Ă—10^-23 J/K) Tk = Kinetic temperature in Kelvins Notice the the energy level of the gas particles is linear with respect to temperature. So we don't care what the original temperature is, we just need to know by how much the average energy of the gas particles has increased by. So let's substitute the known values and solve for Tk E = (3/2)Kb*Tk 1.38x10^-22 J = (3/2)1.3806504Ă—10^-23 J/K * Tk 1.38x10^-22 J = 2.0709756x10^-23 J/K * Tk 6.64 K = Tk Rounding to 2 significant digits gives 6.6K. So the temperature in the room will increase by 6.6 degrees K or 6.6 degrees C, or 11.9 degrees F.</span>

Three capacitors having capacitances of 8.40, 8.40, and 4.20 μFμF, respectively, are connected in series across a 36.0-V potenti
son4ous [18]

Answer:

a)Q=71.4 μ C

b)ΔV' = 10.2 V

Explanation:

Given that

C ₁= 8.7 μF

C₂ = 8.2 μF

C₃ = 4.1 μF

The potential difference of the battery, ΔV= 34 V

When connected in series

1/C = 1/C ₁ + 1/C₂ + 1/C₃

1/ C= 1/8.4 +1 / 8.4 + 1/4.2

C=2.1 μF

As we know that when capacitor are connected in series then they have same charge,Q

Q= C ΔV

Q= 2.1 x 34 μ C

Q=71.4 μ C

b)

As we know that when capacitor are connected in parallel then they have same voltage difference.

Q'= C' ΔV'

C'= C ₁+C₂+C₃        (For parallel connection)

C'= 8.4 + 8.4 + 4.2 μF

C'=21 μF

Q'= C' ΔV'

Q'=3 Q

3 x 71.4= 21 ΔV'

ΔV' = 10.2 V

The force needed to accelerate a 2500 kg car at a rate of 4m/s² will be  10,000 N.Option B is correct.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force is defined as the push or pull applied to the body. Sometimes it is used to change the shape, size, and direction of the body. Force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration. Its unit is Newton.

Given data;

Force,F = ?

Mass,m = 2500 kg

Acceleration,a = 4 m/s²

The force is found as;

F=ma

F=2500 kg × 4 m/s²

F= 10,000 N

The force needed to accelerate a 2500 kg car at a rate of 4m/s² will be  10,000 N.

Hence option B is correct.

To learn more about the force refer to the link;
