Why was it important to have endothermic and exothermic processes in the building materials of your train?

Before, trains worked using the steam engine. Thus, it uses heat so it is crucial to apply heat balance. The steam engine absorbs energy during the stage of boiling water. So, this is the endothermic reaction. When the steam is used to work the piston, it has to release this energy through running the train. The excess energy is released as an exhaust to the chimney. This is the exothermic process because it releases energy to the surroundings.

How long does it take electrons to get from the car battery to the starting motor? Assume the current is 137 A and the electrons
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

t = 55.79 min

Explanation:

First, the problem is asking for calculate the time that it takes electrons from the battery to the motor.

The general formula to calculate time is:

<em>t = d/V (1)</em>

Where:

d: distance or length

V: speed

Now, we don't have data of speed, but we can know an expression of current density in function of the distance which is the following:

<em>J = n*q*V (2)</em>

Where:

q: charge of the particle (1.6x10^-19 C)

n: number of charge carriers per unit of volume

Current density (J) is actually current per Area so:

<em>J = I/A (3)</em>

Replacing (3) in (2) we have:

I/A = nqV

Solving for V:

<em>V = I/Anq (4)</em>

Finally, if we replace this expression in (1) we have:

<em>t = nqAd / I (5)</em>

Now, the value of n, it's not given but it can be calculated because we have mass density, molar mass and avogadro's number, so this value of "n" can be calculated using the following expression:

<em>n = D * Av / MM (6)</em>

Where:

D: mass density (kg/m³)

Av: avogadro number (6.02x10^23 atom/mol)

MM: molar mass (kg/mol)

Putting the data that we know to calculate n we have:

n = 8960 * 6.02x10^23 / 0.0635

n = 8.49x10^28 atom/m³

Now with the value of n, we can finally calculate the time:

<em>t = nqAd / I </em>

A is the area and it should be in m²: 44.6 mm² / 1x10^6 m = 4.46x10^-5 m²

d is the length in meter: 75.7 cm / 100 cm/m = 0.757 m

so replacing these data in (5):

t = 8.49x10^28 * 1.6x10^-19 * 4.46x10^-5 * 0.757 / 137

t = 3,347.63 s

But the answer is in minute so:

t = 3,347.63 / 60

<em>t = 55.79 min</em>

so the electrons takes 56 min aprox. to go from the car battery to the starting motor.
