Consider three identical metal spheres, A, B, and C. Sphere A carries a charge of +6q. Sphere B carries a charge of -q. Sphere C

carries no net charge. Spheres A and B are touched together and then separated. Sphere C is then touched to sphere A and separated from it. Lastly, sphere C is touched to sphere B and separated from it. (a) What is the ratio of the final charge on sphere C to q? What is the ratio of the final total charge on the three spheres to q (b) before they are allowed to touch each other and (c) after they have touched?

Answer:

Part a)

Final charge on C : q = 1.875

Part b)

Ratio for A = 6 : 1.25

Ratio for B = -1 : 1.875

Ratio for C = 0

Explanation:

When two identical metal sphere are connected together then the charge on them will get equally divided on both after connecting them by conducting wire

So here we have

q_A = + 6q

q_B = -q

q_c = 0

Step 1: We connected A and B and then separate them

so we have

q_A' = q_B' = 2.5q

Step 2: We connected A and C and then separate them

so we have

q_A'' = q_c' = 1.25q

Step 3: We connected B and C and then separate them

so we have

q_c'' = q_b'' = 1.875q

Nitrogen at 100 kPa and 25oC in a rigid vessel is heated until its pressure is 300 kPa. Calculate (a) the work done and (b) the
nignag [31]

Answer:

A. The work done during the process is W = 0

B. The value of heat transfer during the process Q = 442.83 \frac{KJ}{kg}

Explanation:

Given Data

Initial pressure P_{1} = 100 k pa

Initial temperature T_{1} = 25 degree Celsius = 298 Kelvin

Final pressure P_{2} = 300 k pa

Vessel is rigid so change in volume of the gas is zero. so that initial volume is equal to final volume.

⇒ V_{1} = V_{2} ------------- (1)

Since volume of the gas is constant so pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas.

⇒ P ∝ T

⇒ \frac{P_{2} }{P_{1}} = \frac{T_{2} }{T_{1}}

⇒ Put all the values in the above formula we get the final temperature

⇒ T_{2} = \frac{300}{100} × 298

⇒ T_{2} = 894 Kelvin

(A). Work done during the process is given by W = P × (V_{2} -V _{1})

From equation (1), V_{1} = V_{2} so work done W = P × 0 = 0

⇒ W = 0

Therefore the work done during the process is zero.

Heat transfer during the process is given by the formula Q = m C_{v} ( T_{2} -T_{1} )

Where m = mass of the gas = 1 kg

C_{v} = specific heat at constant volume of nitrogen = 0.743 \frac{KJ}{kg k}

Thus the heat transfer Q = 1 × 0.743 × ( 894- 298 )

⇒ Q = 442.83 \frac{KJ}{kg}

Therefore the value of heat transfer during the process Q = 442.83 \frac{KJ}{kg}

How long does it take for a 3.5 kW electric water heater to heat 40 kg of water? from 20 ° C to 75 ° C? The specific heat capaci
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

2633.7 s

Explanation:

From the question,

Heat lost by the water heater = Heat gained by the water

Applying,

P = cm(t₂-t₁)/t.................. Equation 1

Where P = power of the heat, c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, t₁ = initial temperature, t₂ = final temperature, t = time

make t the subject of the equation

t = cm(t₂-t₁)/P.............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: c = 4190 J/kgK, P = 3.5 kW = 3500 W, m = 40 kg, t₁ = 20°C, t₂ = 75°C

Substitute these values into equation 2

t = 4190×40(75-20)/3500

t = 9218000/3500

t = 2633.7 s

A roller coaster weighing 2000 kg is lifted to a height of 28 m within 30 seconds with a kind of elevator.Calculate how many kil
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

The equation for Power is

P = Work/time to do work and the equation for work is

Work = FΔx

We first need to find the amount of work done, then we can find the power it took to do that work.

W = 2000(9.8)(28) so

W = 550,000 N*m

Now we fill that into the power equation:

P=\frac{550000}{30} gives us

P = 18000 Watts. But we need kW, so we divide by 1000 to get

P = 18 kW of power.
