A large room in a house holds 947 kg of dry air at 33.2°C. A woman opens a window briefly and a cool breeze brings in an additio

nal 62.4 kg of dry air at 13.2°C. At what temperature (in degrees Celsius) will the two air masses come into thermal equilibrium, assuming they form a closed system? (The specific heat of dry air is 1006 J/ kg * °C, although that value will cancel out of the calorimetry equation.)

Answer:

31.96362 °C

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of air in the room = 947 kg

m_2 = Mass of air entering the room = 62.4 kg

T_1 = Temperature in the room = 33.2°C

T_2 = Temperature air entering the room = 13.2°C

T = Equilibrium temperature

c = Specific heat of air = 1006 J/kg °C

In the case of thermal equilibrium we have the relation

m_1c(T_1-T)=m_2c(T-T_2)\\\Rightarrow T=\frac{m_2T_2+m_1T_1}{m_1+m_2}\\\Rightarrow T=\frac{62.4(13.2+273.15)+947(33.2+273.15)}{947+62.4}\\\Rightarrow T=305.11362\ K=305.11362-273.15=31.96362^{\circ}C

The temperature of thermal equilibrium is 31.96362 °C

Answer: magnitude of applied force is FA = mg + F

Where F is the resultant force downward that the rope moves with

Explanation:

Force downwards F is,

F = FA - T

T is the upwards tension force on the rope

FA is the actual applied force in pulling the rope down.

Therefore, T = FA - F .....equ. (1)

For the box to move up with force ma ( it's mass times its acceleration upwards) upwards tension on the roap must exceed its own weight mg ( it's mass times acceleration due to gravity 9.8m/s^2)

Therefore, ma = T - mg

T = ma + mg ..... equ. (2)

Equating equ. 1 and 2

T = FA - F = ma + mg

Therefore FA = ma + mg + F

But at constant velocity a = 0

Magnitude of applied force becomes

FA = mg + F

If a 0.15 kg ball falls and has a KE of 20 J just before striking the ground, from what height did it fall. A. 1.36m B. 3m C. 13
RUDIKE [14]
According to the conservation of mechanical energy, the kinetic energy just before the ball strikes the ground is equal to the potential energy just before it fell. 

Therefore, we can say KE = PE
We know that PE = m·g·h

Which means KE = m·g·h

We can solve for h:

h = KE / m·g
   = 20 / (0.15 · 9.8) 
   = 13.6m

The correct answer is: the ball has fallen from a height of 13.6m.
