I believe A. is the answer. Temperature is the measure of heat, heat is considered to be the amount of vibration within an atom. Hot atoms will vibrate a lot, cooler atoms will no vibrate much. You can heat atoms up and cause them to break their bonds with other atoms and create liquids or gases. Hence, you can cool atoms and cause them to revert into a liquid from a gas, or solid from a liquid.

A certain 100W light bulb has an efficiency of 95%. How much thermal energy will this light bulb add to the inside of a room in

Usimov [2.4K]

Since the bulb consumes 100 watts of power and its efficiency is 95%,
it generates 95 watts of light energy and 5 watts of heat energy whenever
it's turned on.

5 watts means 5 joules of energy per second.

(2.5 hours) x (3,600 seconds/hour) = 9,000 seconds

(9,000 seconds) x (5 joules/second) = 45,000 joules of heat in 2.5 hours

For a specific volume of 0.2 m3/kg, find the quality of steam if the absolute pressure is (a) 40 kPa and (b) 630 kPa. What is th

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

$x=0.0498$

$x'=0.659$

Explanation:

Specific Volume $V=0.2m_3/kg$

Absolute Pressure (a) $P_a= 40kpa$

Giving

$T_a=75.87$

$v_f=1.265*10^{-3}m^3/kg$

$v_g=3.993m^3/kg$

(b) $P_a= 630kpa$

Giving

$T_b=160.13C$

$v_f'=1.10282*10^{-3} m^3/kg$

$v_g'=0.30286 m^3/kg$

(a)

Generally the equation for quality of Steam X is mathematically given by

$x=\frac{v-v_f}{v_g-v_f}$

$x=\frac{0.2-1.0265*10^{-3}}{3.993-1.0265*10^{-3}}$

$x=0.0498$

(b)

Generally the equation for quality of Steam X is mathematically given by

$x'=\frac{v-v_f'}{v_g'-v_f'}$

$x'=\frac{0.2-1.10*10^{-3}}{3.30-1.1*10^{-3}}$

$x'=0.659$

A 23.5 g piece of aluminum metal is initially at 100.0°C. It is dropped into a coffee cup-calorimeter containing 130.0 g of wate

vivado [14]

Answer: The molar heat capacity of aluminum is $25.3J/mol^0C$

Explanation:

$heat_{absorbed}=heat_{released}$

As we know that,

$Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

$m_1\times c_1\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c_2\times (T_{final}-T_2)]$ .................(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed or released

$m_1$ = mass of water = 130.0 g

$m_2$ = mass of aluminiunm = 23.5 g

$T_{final}$ = final temperature = $26.0^oC=(273+26)K=299K$

$T_1$ = temperature of water = $23^oC=(273+23)K=296K$

$T_2$ = temperature of aluminium = $100^oC=273+100=373K$

$c_1$ = specific heat of water= $4.184J/g^0C$

$c_2$ = specific heat of aluminium= ?

Now put all the given values in equation (1), we get

$130.0\times 4.184\times (299-296)=-[23.5\times c_2\times (299-373)]$

$c_2=0.938J/g^0C$

Molar mass of Aluminium = 27 g/mol

Thus molar heat capacity = $0.938J/g^0C\times 27g/mol=25.3J/mol^0C$

You are holding a shopping basket at the grocery store with two 0.55-kg cartons of cereal at the left end of the basket. the bas

stepan [7]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

The basket is represented by a weightless rigid beam of length 0.78 m.
The x-coordinate is measured from the left end of the basket.

The mass at x=0 is 2*0.55 = 1.1 kg.
The weight acting at x = 0 is W₁ = 1.1*9.8 = 10.78 N

The mass near the right end is 1.8 kg.
Its weight is W₂ = 1.8*9.8 = 17.64 N

The fulcrum is in the middle of the basket, therefore its location is
x = 0.78/2 = 0.39 m.

For equilibrium, the sum of moments about the fulcrum is zero.
Therefore
(10.78 N)*(0.39 m) - (17.64 N)*(x-0.39 m) = 0
4.2042 - 17.64x + 6.8796 = 0
-17.64x = -11.0838
x = 0.6283 m

Answer: 0.63 m from the left end.
