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

A loaded 375 kg toboggan is traveling on smooth horizontal snow at 4.50 m/s when it suddenly comes to a rough region. The region

zmey [24]

Answer:

a) The average friction force exerted on the toboggan is 653.125 newtons, b) The rough region reduced the kinetic energy of the toboggan in 92.889 %, c) The speed of the toboggan is reduced in 73.333 %.

Explanation:

a) Given the existence of non-conservative forces (friction between toboggan and ground), the motion must be modelled by means of the Principle of Energy Conservation and the Work-Energy Theorem, since toboggan decrease its speed (associated with due to the action of friction. Changes in gravitational potential energy can be neglected due to the inclination of the ground. Then:

$K_{1} = K_{2} + W_{f}$

Where:

$K_{1}$ , $K_{2}$ are the initial and final translational kinetic energies of the tobbogan, measured in joules.

$W_{f}$ - Dissipated work due to friction, measured in joules.

By applying definitions of translation kinetic energy and work, the expression described above is now expanded and simplified:

$f\cdot \Delta s = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot (v_{1}^{2}-v_{2}^{2})$

Where:

$f$ - Friction force, measured in newtons.

$\Delta s$ - Distance travelled by the toboggan in the rough region, measured in meters.

$m$ - Mass of the toboggan, measured in kilograms.

$v_{1}$ , $v_{2}$ - Initial and final speed of the toboggan, measured in meters per second.

The friction force is cleared:

$f = \frac{m\cdot (v_{1}^{2}-v_{2}^{2})}{2\cdot \Delta s}$

If $m = 375\,kg$ , $v_{1} = 4.50\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $v_{2} = 1.20\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $\Delta s = 5.40 \,m$ , then:

$f = \frac{(375\,kg)\cdot \left[\left(4.50\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(1.20\,\frac{m}{s}\right)^{2}\right]}{2\cdot (5.40\,m)}$

$f = 653.125\,N$

The average friction force exerted on the toboggan is 653.125 newtons.

b) The percentage lost by the kinetic energy of the tobbogan due to friction is given by the following expression, which is expanded and simplified afterwards:

$\% K_{loss} = \frac{K_{1}-K_{2}}{K_{1}}\times 100\,\%$

$\% K_{loss} = \left(1-\frac{K_{2}}{K_{1}} \right)\times 100\,\%$

$\% K_{loss} = \left(1-\frac{\frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{2}^{2}}{\frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{1}^{2}} \right)\times 100\,\%$

$\% K_{loss} = \left(1-\frac{v_{2}^{2}}{v_{1}^{2}} \right)\times 100\,\%$

$\%K_{loss} = \left[1-\left(\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}\right)^{2} \right]\times 100\,\%$

If $v_{1} = 4.50\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v_{2} = 1.20\,\frac{m}{s}$ , then:

$\%K_{loss} = \left[1-\left(\frac{1.20\,\frac{m}{s} }{4.50\,\frac{m}{s} }\right)^{2} \right]\times 100\,\%$

$\%K_{loss} = 92.889\,\%$

The rough region reduced the kinetic energy of the toboggan in 92.889 %.

c) The percentage lost by the speed of the tobbogan due to friction is given by the following expression:

$\% v_{loss} = \frac{v_{1}-v_{2}}{v_{1}}\times 100\,\%$

$\% v_{loss} = \left(1-\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} \right)\times 100\,\%$

If $v_{1} = 4.50\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v_{2} = 1.20\,\frac{m}{s}$ , then:

$\% v_{loss} = \left(1-\frac{1.20\,\frac{m}{s} }{4.50\,\frac{m}{s} } \right)\times 100\,\%$

$\%v_{loss} = 73.333\,\%$

The speed of the toboggan is reduced in 73.333 %.
