The terminal velocity of a person falling in air depends upon the weight and the area of the person facing the fluid. Find the t

Answer:

v=115 m/s

or

v=414 km/h

Explanation:

Given data

A_{area}=0.140m^{2}\\  p_{air}=1.21 kg/m^{3}\\  m_{mass}=80kg

To find

Terminal velocity (in meters per second and kilometers per hour)

Solution

At terminal speed the weight equal the drag force

mg=1/2*C*p_{air}*v^{2}*A_{area}\\   v=\sqrt{\frac{2*m*g}{C**p_{air}*A_{area}} }\\ Where C=0.7\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2*9.8*80}{1.21*0.14*0.7} }\\ v=115m/s

For speed in km/h(kilometers per hour)

To convert m/s to km/h you need to multiply the speed value by 3.6

v=(115*3.6)km/h\\v=414km/h

Fill in the blanks for the following:
storchak [24]

Answer:

<em>a. 4.21 moles</em>

<em>b. 478.6 m/s</em>

<em>c. 1.5 times the root mean square velocity of the nitrogen gas outside the tank</em>

Explanation:

Volume of container = 100.0 L

Temperature = 293 K

pressure = 1 atm = 1.01325 bar

number of moles n = ?

using the gas equation PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

R = 0.08206 L-atm-mol^{-1}K^{-1}

Therefore,

n = (1.01325 x 100)/(0.08206 x 293)

n = 101.325/24.04 = <em>4.21 moles</em>

The equation for root mean square velocity is

Vrms = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M} }

R = 8.314 J/mol-K

where M is the molar mass of oxygen gas = 31.9 g/mol = 0.0319 kg/mol

Vrms = \sqrt{\frac{3*8.314*293}{0.0319} }= <em>478.6 m/s</em>

<em>For Nitrogen in thermal equilibrium with the oxygen, the root mean square velocity of the nitrogen will be proportional to the root mean square velocity of the oxygen by the relationship</em>

\frac{Voxy}{Vnit} = \sqrt{\frac{Mnit}{Moxy} }

where

Voxy = root mean square velocity of oxygen = 478.6 m/s

Vnit = root mean square velocity of nitrogen = ?

Moxy = Molar mass of oxygen = 31.9 g/mol

Mnit = Molar mass of nitrogen = 14.00 g/mol

\frac{478.6}{Vnit} = \sqrt{\frac{14.0}{31.9} }

\frac{478.6}{Vnit} = 0.66

Vnit = 0.66 x 478.6 = <em>315.876 m/s</em>

<em>the root mean square velocity of the oxygen gas is </em>

<em>478.6/315.876 = 1.5 times the root mean square velocity of the nitrogen gas outside the tank</em>

Julie's psychologist helped her get over her fear of spiders. Which goal of psychology has the phycologist met ?
lord [1]
<span>The four goals of psychology are: describe observed phenomena, explain them, predict what may occur as a result of them and control behaviour as a result. Julie’s psychologist has helped Julie control her behaviour - her fear response to spiders - so they have met the ‘control behaviour’ goal of psychology.</span>

A 5-g lead bullet traveling in 20°C air at 300 m/s strikes a flat steel plate and stops.
densk [106]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Kinetic Energy and the Energy Produced by the heat loss. In mathematical terms kinetic energy can be described as:

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Where,

m = Mass

v = Velocity

Replacing we have that the Total Kinetic Energy is

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

KE = \frac{1}{2} (5*10^{-3})(300)^2

KE =  225J

On the other hand the required Energy to heat up t melting point is

Q_1 = mC_p \Delta T

Q_2 = L_f m

Where,

m = Mass

C_p =Specific Heat

\Delta T =Change at temperature

L_f = Latent heat of fussion

Heat required to heat up to melting point,

Q = Q_1+Q_2

Q = mC_p \Delta T+L_f m

Q = 5*0.128*(327-20) + 5*24.7

Q = 310J

The energy required to melt is larger than the kinetic energy. Therefore the heat of fusion of lead would be 327 ° C: The melting point of lead.

Rosa pours a cup of boiling water into a pot of room-temperature water. According to the second law of thermodynamics, what will
11111nata11111 [884]

<u>Thermal energy</u><u> from the room-temperature water will continuously flow to the boiling water.</u>

  • The second law states, in a straightforward manner, that heat cannot naturally go "uphill."
  • When a pan of boiling water and a pan of ice are in touch, the hot water cools and the ice melts and warms up.

<h3>THE FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS</h3>
  • Adiabatic Process - is a procedure that is carried out without the system's heat content changing.
  • Water is heated to a temperature of 1000C during the boiling process, making it an isothermal process. As steam, the excess heat leaves the system.
