Answer:

% of water boils away= 12.64 %

Explanation:

given,

volume of block = 50 cm³ removed from temperature of furnace = 800°C

mass of water = 200 mL = 200 g

temperature of water = 20° C

the density of iron = 7.874 g/cm³ ,

so the mass of iron(m₁) = density × volume = 7.874 × 50 g = 393.7 g

the specific heat of iron C₁ = 0.450 J/g⁰C

the specific heat of water Cw= 4.18 J/g⁰C

latent heat of vaporization of water is L_v = 2260 k J/kg = 2260 J/g

loss of heat from iron is equal to the gain of heat for the water

$m_1\times C_1\times \Delta T = M\times C_w\times \Delta T + m_2\times L_v$

$393.7\times 0.45\times (800-100) = 200\times 4.18\times(100-20) + m_2\times 2260$

m₂ = 25.28 g

25.28 water will be vaporized

% of water boils away = $\dfrac{25.28}{200}\times 100$

% of water boils away= 12.64 %

To meet a U.S. Postal Service requirement, employees' footwear must have a coefficient of static friction of 0.5 or more on a sp

motikmotik

Answer:

0.79 s

Explanation:

We have to calculate the employee acceleration, in order to know the minimum time. According to Newton's second law:

$\sum F_x:f_{max}=ma_x\\\sum F_y:N-mg=0$

The frictional force is maximum since the employee has to apply a maximum force to spend the minimum time. In y axis the employee's acceleration is zero, so the net force is zero. Recall that $f_{max}=\mu N$

Now, we find the acceleration:

$\mu N=ma_x\\\mu mg=ma_x\\a_x=\mu g\\a_x=0.83(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})\\a_x=8.134\frac{m}{s^2}$

Finally, using an uniformly accelerated motion formula, we can calculate the minimum time. The employee starts at rest, thus his initial speed is zero:

$x=v_0t+\frac{1}{2}a_xt^2\\2x=a_xt^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2x}{a}}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2(3.2m)}{8.134\frac{m}{s^2}}}\\t=0.79 s$

A horizontal spring is lying on a frictionless surface. One end of the spring is attached to a wall, and the other end is connec

juin [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

angular frequency = 11.3 rad/s

Spring constant (k) = $= \omega^2 \times m$

k = (11.3)² m

k = 127.7 m

where;

$x_1$ = 0.065 m

$x_2$ = 0.048 m

According to the conservation of energies;

$E_1=E_2$

∴

$\Big(\dfrac{1}{2} \Big) kx_1^2 =\Big(\dfrac{1}{2} \Big) mv_2^2 + \Big(\dfrac{1}{2} \Big) kx_2^2$

$kx_1^2 = mv_2^2 + kx_2^2$

$(127.7 \ m) \times 0.065^2 = v_2^2 + (127.7 \ m) \times 0.048^2$

$0.5395325 = v_2^2 +0.2942208 \\ \\ 0.5395325 - 0.2942208 = v_2^2 \\ \\ v_2^2 = 0.2453117 \\ \\ v_2 = \sqrt{0.2453117} \\ \\ \mathbf{ v_2 \simeq0.50 \ m/s}$

A gas occupies a volume of 1.0 m3 in a cylinder at a pressure of 120kPa. A piston compresses the gas until the volume is 0.25m3,

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Approximately $480\; \rm kPa$ , assuming that this gas is an ideal gas.

Explanation:

Let $V(\text{Initial})$ and $P(\text{Initial})$ denote the volume and pressure of this gas before the compression.
Let $V(\text{Final})$ and $P(\text{Final})$ denote the volume and pressure of this gas after the compression.

By Boyle's Law, the pressure of a sealed ideal gas at constant temperature will be inversely proportional to its volume. Assume that this gas is ideal. By this ideal gas law:

$\displaystyle \frac{P(\text{Final})}{P(\text{Initial})} = \frac{V(\text{Initial})}{V(\text{Final})}$ .

Note that in Boyle's Law, $P$ is inversely proportional to $V$ . Therefore, on the two sides of this equation, "final" and "initial" are on different sides of the fraction bar.

For this particular question:

$V(\text{initial}) = 1.0\; \rm m^3$ .
$P(\text{Initial}) = 120\; \rm kPa$ .

$V(\text{final}) = 0.25\; \rm m^3$ .
The pressure after compression, $P(\text{Final})$ , needs to be found.

Rearrange the equation to obtain:

$\displaystyle P(\text{Final}) = \frac{V(\text{Initial})}{V(\text{Final})} \cdot P(\text{Initial})$ .

Before doing any calculation, think whether the pressure of this gas will go up or down. Since the gas is compressed, collisions between its particles and the container will become more frequent. Hence, the pressure of this gas should increase.

$\begin{aligned}P(\text{Final}) &= \frac{V(\text{Initial})}{V(\text{Final})} \cdot P(\text{Initial})\\ &= \frac{1.0\; \rm m^{3}}{0.25\; \rm m^{3}} \times 120\; \rm kPa = 480\; \rm kPa\end{aligned}$ .
