Answer:

Potential energy, PE = 2.94 joules

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 0.3 kg

It is placed at a height of, h = 1 m

We need to find the gravitational potential energy of the book. It is given by :

PE = mgh

$PE=0.3\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 1\ m$

PE = 2.94 Joules

So, the potential energy of the book at this height is 2.94 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

What makes an electric charge?

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Most electric charge is carried by the electrons and protons within an atom. Conversely, two protons repel each other, as do two electrons. Advertisement. Protons and electrons create electric fields, which exert a force called the Coulomb force, which radiates outward in all directions.

An ordinary egg can be approximated as a 5.5-cm diameter sphere. The egg is initially at a uniform temperature of 8°C and is dro

kupik [55]

Answer:

a) $Q_{in} = 13.742\,kW$ , b) $\Delta S = 370.15\,\frac{kJ}{K}$

Explanation:

a) The heat transfered to the egg is computed by the First Law of Thermodynamics:

$Q_{in} +U_{sys,1} - U_{sys,2} = 0$

$Q_{in} = U_{sys,2} - U_{sys,1}$

$Q_{in} = \rho_{egg}\cdot \left(\frac{4\pi}{3}\cdot r^{3}\right)\cdot c \cdot (T_{2}-T_{1})$

$Q_{in} = \left(1020\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{4\pi}{3}\right)\cdot (0.025\,m)^{3}\cdot \left(3.32\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} \right)\cdot (70\,^{\textdegree}C - 8\,^{\textdegree}C)$

$Q_{in} = 13.742\,kW$

b) The amount of entropy generation is determined by the Second Law of Thermodynamics:

$\Delta S = \frac{Q_{in}}{T_{in}}$

$\Delta S = \frac{13.742\,kJ}{370.15\,K}$

$\Delta S = 370.15\,\frac{kJ}{K}$
