Explain the role of energy in changes of state.

1 answer:

3 0

A liquid requires enthalpy of vaporization to transform into vapor or gas at its boiling point. Here the element absorbs heat from surroundings or heat source.

This energy is used in breaking the forces of attraction among the atoms and molecules of the element. The molecules get separated to higher distances. The energy is converted in to the kinetic energy of the molecules in gaseous form and into the internal energy in terms of the temperature of the gas.

A Shaolin monk of mass 60 kg is able to do a ‘finger stand’: he supports his whole weight on his two index fingers, giving him a

Answer:

P = 1471500 [Pa]

Explanation:

We must remember that pressure is defined as the relationship between Force over the area.

$P=F/A$

where:

P = pressure [Pa] (units of pascals)

F = force [N] (units of Newtons)

A = area of contact = 4 [cm²]

But first we must convert from cm² to m²

$A = 4[cm^{2}]*\frac{1^{2} m^{2} }{100^{2} cm^{2} }$

A = 0.0004 [m²]

Also, the weight should be calculated as follows:

$w = m*g$

where:

m = mass = 60 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

Now replacing:

$w = 60*9.81\\w = 588.6[N]$

And the pressure:

$P=588.6/0.0004\\P=1471500 [Pa]$

Because 1 [Pa] = 1 [N/m²]

Flapping flight is very energy intensive. A wind tunnel test

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The metabolic power for starting flight=134.8W/kg

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of starling, m=89 g=89/1000=0.089 kg

1 kg=1000 g

Power, P=12 W

Speed, v=11 m/s

We have to find the metabolic power for starting flight.

We know that

Metabolic power for starting flight= $\frac{P}{m}$

Using the formula

Metabolic power for starting flight= $\frac{12}{0.089}$

Metabolic power for starting flight=134.8W/kg

Hence, the metabolic power for starting flight=134.8W/kg
