The specific heat of fat is roughly 1,700 J/(kgoC) whereas that for water is around 4200 J/(kgoC). A 0.63 kg solution of lipids

and water is heated at a rate of 100 W for 5 minutes. During this time, the temperature of the system increases by 20oC. What is the mass of the lipid content, to the nearest hundredth of a kg, in this solution?

Answer:

the mass of the lipid content, to the nearest hundredth of a kg, in this solution =0.46 kg

Explanation:

Total heat content of the fat = heat content of water +heat content of the lipids

Let it be Q

the Q= (mcΔT)_lipids + (mcΔT)_water

total mass of fat M= 0.63 Kg

Q= heat supplied = 100 W in 5 minutes

ΔT= 20°C

c_lipid= 1700J/(kgoC)

c_water= 4200J/(kgoC)

then,

$100\times5\times60= m(1700)20+(0.63-m)(4200)20$

solving the above equation we get

m= 0.46 kg

the mass of the lipid content, to the nearest hundredth of a kg, in this solution =0.46 kg

Work done(as a measure of energy)=force x distance. Use this equation to show that the SI base units of energy are kg m^2 s^-2

Arturiano [62]

Force [kgms^-2] = mass [kg] x acceleration [ms^-2]
Work = force x distance
Work = [kgms^-2] x [m]
Work = [kgm^2s^-2]

Why did the potassium permanganate crystals start to dissolve in water without being stirred or shaken

KonstantinChe [14]

<span>because the substance in the potassium permanganate crystals are permeable to water, so that means it will dissolve instantly while poured into water </span>

The first ionization energy of a hydrogen atom is 2.18 aj (attojoules). what is the frequency and wavelength, in nanometers, of

jasenka [17]

1) Frequency: $3.29\cdot 10^{15}Hz$

the energy of the photon absorbed must be equal to the ionization enegy of the atom, which is

$E=2.18 aJ=2.18\cdot 10^{-18} J$

The energy of a photon is given by

$E=hf$

where $h=6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js$ is the Planck's constant. By using the energy written above and by re-arranging thsi formula, we can calculate the frequency of the photon:

$f=\frac{E}{h}=\frac{2.18\cdot 10^{-18} J}{6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js}=3.29\cdot 10^{15} Hz$

2) Wavelength: 91.2 nm

The wavelength of the photon can be found from its frequency, by using the following relationship:

$\lambda=\frac{c}{f}$

where $c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light and f is the frequency. Substituting the frequency, we find

$\lambda=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{3.29\cdot 10^{15}Hz}=9.12\cdot 10^{-8} m=91.2 nm$

A burglar attempts to drag a 108 kg metal safe across a polished wood floor Assume that the coefficient of static friction is 0.

V125BC [204]

Answer:

2.00 m/s²

Explanation:

Given

The Mass of the metal safe, M = 108kg

Pushing force applied by the burglar, F = 534 N

Co-efficient of kinetic friction, $\mu_k$ = 0.3

Now,

The force against the kinetic friction is given as:

$f = \mu_k N = u_k Mg$

Where,

N = Normal reaction

g= acceleration due to the gravity

Substituting the values in the above equation, we get

$f = 0.3\times108\times9.8$

or

$f = 317.52N$

Now, the net force on to the metal safe is

$F_{Net}= F-f$

Substituting the values in the equation we get

$F_{Net}= 534N-317.52N$

or

$F_{Net}= 216.48$

also,

$F_{Net}= M\times$ acceleration of the safe

Therefore, the acceleration of the metal safe will be

acceleration of the safe= $\frac{F_{Net}}{M}$

or

acceleration of the safe= $\frac{216.48}{108}$

or

acceleration of the safe= $2.00 m/s^2$

Hence, the acceleration of the metal safe will be 2.00 m/s²
