A tennis ball (m=0.060 kg) is moving horizontally at 20 m/s toward a tennis player who hits it straight back at 26 m/s. What is

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

0.36 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a ball, m = 0.06 kg

Initial velocity of the ball, u = 20 m/s

Final velocity of the ball, v = 26 m/s

We need to find the change in momentum of the tennis ball. It is equal to the final momentum minus initial momentum

$\Delta p=m(v-u)\\\\=0.06\times (26-20)\\\\=0.36\ kg-m/s$

So, the change in momentum of the ball is 0.36 kg-m/s.

A helium balloon has an internal pressure of 2.5 atm when it occupies 4.5 L. If it was compressed until it had a pressure of 3.3

steposvetlana [31]

Answer: V = 3.4 L

Explanation: Use Boyle's Law to find the new volume. P1V1 = P2V2, derive for V2, then the formula will be V2= P1V1 / P2

V2 = 2.5 atm ( 4.5 L ) / 3.3 atm

= 3.4 L

rewona [7]

Answer:

$\dot{m_{2}}=0.865 kg/s$

Explanation:

$\dot{m_1}= 0.5kg/s$

from steam tables , at 250 kPa, and at

T₁ = 80⁰C ⇒ h₁ = 335.02 kJ/kg

T₂ = 20⁰C⇒ h₂ = 83.915 kJ/kg

T₃ = 42⁰C ⇒ h₃ = 175.90 kJ/kg

we know

$\dot{m_{in}}=\dot{m_{out}}$

$\dot{m_{1}}+\dot{m_{2}}=\dot{m_{3}}$

according to energy balance equation

$\dot{m_{in}}h_{in}=\dot{m_{out}}h_{out}$

$\dot{m_{1}}h_{1}+\dot{m_{2}}h_{2}=\dot{m_{3}}h_{3}$

$\dot{m_{1}}h_{1}+\dot{m_{2}}h_{2}=(\dot{m_{1}}+\dot{m_{2}})h_{3}\\(0.5\times 335.02)+(\dot{m_{2}}\times 83.915)=(0.5+\dot{m_{2}})175.90\\\dot{m_{2}}=0.865 kg/s$

Answer:

The workdone is $W = -177.275J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The initial Volume is $Vi = 0.160 L$

The final volume is $V_f = 0.510L$

The external pressure is $P = 5.00 \ atm$

Generally the change in volume is

$\Delta V = V_f - V_i$

Substituting values we have

$\Delta V = 0.510 -0.160$

$= 0.350L$

Generally workdone is mathematically represented as

$W = -P \Delta V$

W is negative because the working is done on the environment by the system which is indicated by volume increase

Substituting values

$W = - 5* 0.350$

$= -1.75 \ L \ \cdot atm$

Now $1 \ L \cdot atm = 101.3J$

Therefore $W = -1.75* 101.3$

$= -177.275J$
