Carbon is allowed to diffuse through a steel plate 9.7-mm thick. The concentrations of carbon at the two faces are 0.664 and 0.3

39 kg of carbon per m3 of iron, which are maintained constant. If the preexponential and activation energy are 6.5 x 10-7 m2/s and 82 kJ/mol, respectively, calculate the temperature (in K) at which the diffusion flux is 3.2 x 10-9 kg/(m2-s).

Answer:

844°C

Explanation:

The problem can be easily solve by using Fick's law and the Diffusivity or diffusion coefficient.

We know that Fick's law is given by,

J = - D \frac{\Delta c}{\Delta x}

Where \frac{\Delta c}{\Delta x} is the concentration of gradient

D is the diffusivity coefficient

and J is the flux of atoms.

In the other hand we have, that

D= D_0 e^{\frac{E_d}{RT}}

Where D_0 is the proportionality constant,

R is the gas constant, T the temperature and E_d is the activation energy.

Replacing the value of diffusivity coefficient in Fick's law we have,

J = -D_0 ^{\frac{E_d}{RT}}\frac{\Delta c}{\Delta x}

Rearrange the equation to get the value of temperature,

T=\frac{Ed}{Rln(\frac{J\Delta x}{D_0 \Delta c})}

We have all the values in our equation.

\Delta c = 0.664-0.339 = 0.325 C. cm^{-1}

\Delta x = 9.7*10^{-3}m

E_d = 82000J

D_0 = 6.5*10^{-7}m^2/s

J = 3.2*10^{-9}m^2/s

R= 8.31Jmol^{-1}K

Substituting,

T=\frac{Ed}{Rln(\frac{J\Delta x}{D_0 \Delta c})}

T=-\frac{-82000}{(8.31)ln(\frac{3.2*10^{-9}(9.7*10^{-3})}{6.5*10^{-7} (0.325)})}

T=1118.07K=844\°C

A freight car with a mass of 10 metric tons is rolling at 108 km/h along a level track when it collides with another freight car
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

20 metric tons

Explanation:

Using the Principle of Conservation of Linear Momentum which states that the total momentum of a system is constant in any direction in which no external force acts.

momentum before collision= momentum after collision

mathematically expressed as

m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1+m2v2 =0

where:

m1= mass of rolling freight car = 10 metric tons = 10Mg

1 ton = 1000kg= 1Mg

u1 =initial velocity of freight car = 108km/h,

m2 = mass of stationary freight car = ?, this the unknown we are finding

u2 = initial velocity of

m2 = 0, because it is at rest,

v1= final velocity of m1,

v2= final velocity of m2

since they move together in the same direction they share a common final velocity as such

v1=v2= 36km/h

substituting valves in expression give

m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2= 0

10Mgx 108km/hr + m2 x 0 = 10Mg x 36km/h + m2x36km/h

1080( Mg x km/hr) + 0 = 360 (Mg x Km/h) + 36m2 (km/h)

1080 (Mgx km/hr) - 360(Mg x km/h) = 36m2 (km/h)

720(Mg x km/h) = 36m2 (km/h)

divide both side by  36 (km/h) gives

m2 = 20Mg =20 metric tons

A seesaw is 4.0m long with a pivot at its midpoint. A boy who weighs 400N sits at a distance of 1.5m from the pivot. His sister
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

the girl must sit 2 cm from the pivot at the opposite end of the seesaw.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the seesaw, L = 4.0 m

weight of the boy, W₁ = 400 N

position of the boy from the pivot, d₁ = 1.5 m

weight of her sister, W₂ = 300 N

First, make a sketch of this information given;

                 0---0.5m---------------------Δ--------------------------4m

                         ↓<--------1.5m-------> <---------x--------->↓

                        400 N                                          300N

Apply the principle of moment about the pivot, to determine the value of x;

Sum of anticlockwise moment = sum of clockwise moment

400(1.5) = 300(x)

600 = 300x

x = 600/300

x = 2 cm

Thus, the girl must sit 2 cm from the pivot at the opposite end of the seesaw.
