A certain quantity of steam has a temperature of 100.0 oC. To convert this steam into ice at 0.0 oC, energy in the form of heat

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

2452.79432 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of ice

$L_s$ = Latent heat of steam

$s_w$ = Specific heat of water

$L_i$ = Latent heat of ice

v = Velocity of ice

$\Delta T$ = Change in temperature

Amount of heat required for steam

$Q_1=mL_s\\\Rightarrow Q_1=m(2.256\times 10^6)$

Heat released from water at 100 °C

$Q_2=ms_w\Delta T\\\Rightarrow Q_2=m4186\times (100-0)\\\Rightarrow Q_2=m0.4186\times 10^6$

Heat released from water at 0 °C

$Q_3=mL_i\\\Rightarrow Q_3=m(333.5\times 10^3)\\\Rightarrow Q_3=m(0.3335\times 10^6)$

Total heat released is

$Q=Q_1+Q_2+Q_3\\\Rightarrow Q=m(2.256\times 10^6)+m0.4186\times 10^6+m(0.3335\times 10^6)\\\Rightarrow Q=3008100m$

The kinetic energy of the bullet will balance the heat

$K=Q\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}mv^2=3008100m\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 3008100}\\\Rightarrow v=2452.79432\ m/s$

The velocity of the ice would be 2452.79432 m/s

A 1200 kg car reaches the top of a 100 m high hill at A with a speed vA. What is the value of vA that will allow the car to coas

Pavel [41]

Complete question is:

A 1200 kg car reaches the top of a 100 m high hill at A with a speed vA. What is the value of vA that will allow the car to coast in neutral so as to just reach the top of the 150 m high hill at B with vB = 0 m/s. Neglect friction.

Answer:

(V_A) = 31.32 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

car's mass, m = 1200 kg

h_A = 100 m

h_B = 150 m

v_B = 0 m/s

From law of conservation of energy,

the distance from point A to B is;

h = 150m - 100 m = 50 m

From Newton's equations of motion;

v² = u² + 2gh

Thus;

(V_B)² = (V_A)² + (-2gh)

(negative next to g because it's going against gravity)

Thus;

(V_B)² = (V_A)² - (2gh)

Plugging in the relevant values;

0² = (V_A)² - 2(9.81 × 50)

(V_A) = √981

(V_A) = 31.32 m/s

Could you pick up a nail using the curved part of the horseshoe magnet farthest from the poles?

nikitadnepr [17]

Yes

Explanation:

One can pick up a nail using the curved part of the horseshoe magnet farthest from the poles.

A horse shoe magnet has magnetic fields all around it.

In the presence of magnetic force fields, any magnetic object will be attracted to it.
This is the case with any magnet.
A magnet is any object with magnetic fields all around it.
This field causes attraction to any magnetic objects especially metals.
