The energy content of a certain food is to be determined in a bomb calorimeter that contains 3 kg of water by burning a 2-g samp

le of it in the presence of 100 g of air in the reaction chamber. If the water temperature rises by 3.2°C when equilibrium is established, determine the energy content of the food, in kJ/kg, by neglecting the thermal energy stored in the reaction chamber and the energy supplied by the mixer. By calculating the rough estimate of the error involved in neglecting the thermal energy stored in the reaction chamber, do you think it is reasonable to disregard the change in the sensible energy content of the reaction chamber in the analysis? The specific heat of water at room temperature is c = 4.18 kJ/kg·°C. The constant-volume specific heat of air at room temperature is cv = 0.718 kJ/kg·°C.

Answer:

20.179 x 10⁶ J /kg

Explanation:

The food after the reaction gives out heat which increases the temperature of water and air in the reaction chamber . The heat absorbed by water and air gives the estimate of energy content of the food.

Heat absorbed by water = mass x specific heat x rise in temperature

=  3 x 4.18 x 10³ x 3.2

= 40.128 x 10³ J

Heat absorbed by air  = mass x specific heat x rise in temperature

0.1 x 3. 2 x .718 x 10³

= 0.23 x 10³

Total heat energy evolved

= 40.358 x 10³ J

This energy is evolved by 2 x 10⁻³ kg of food

energy content per kg of food

= 40.358 x 10³ / 2 x 10⁻³

= 20.179 x 10⁶ J /kg

Susan goes out to exercise. She runs for one hour at a constant speed and velocity. What is the overall net force acting on Susa
kiruha [24]

Option (A ) is correct.

Explanation:

susan is moving with constant velocity, so both the direction and magnitude of the velocity remains same. so the acceleration of susan =0. This is because an object gets accelerated when either the magnitude or direction of the speed changes.

now the force is given by

F= ma

F= force

m= mass

a= acceleration

Here a =0

so F= 0

so the net force on susan is zero.

a mountain biker cycling a trail traveling at 5.4 m/s begins to slow down when she notice a wooden bridge ahead has flooded. if
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

t = 5.56 s

Explanation:

In order to calculate the time interval taken by the mountain biker to come to a stop, we will use third equation of motion and first find the deceleration:

2as = Vf² - Vi²

where,

a = deceleration = ?

s = distance = 15 m

Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s

Vi = Initial Velocity = 5.4 m/s

Therefore,

2a(15 m) = (0 m/s²) - (5.4 m/s)²

a = - 0.972 m/s²

Now, we use 1st equation of motion:

Vf = Vi + at

therefore,

0 m/s = 5.4 m/s + (-0.972 m/s²)(t)

t = (5.4 m/s)/(0.972 m/s²)

<u>t = 5.56 s</u>

Which is the best example of forces acting in the same direction
kotykmax [81]

Getting someone to help you push your car out of a snowdrift.  You both get on the same end of it and push in the same direction.  Another beautiful example is a Tug-o-War, where you might have 50 people (!) all exerting force on the rope in the same direction.

If you had a 14 m long timeline, where would the extinction of the dinosaurs be?
Lapatulllka [165]

If you had a 14 m long timeline, the dinosaurs would be less than one meter from the end.

<h3>What is extinction of species?</h3>

The extinction of species or organisms is the process by which some environmental factors cause a decline in the number of species through death.

Dinosaurs are some of the examples of species that are in extinct.

Since dinosaurs are in extinction, If you had a 14 m long timeline, the dinosaurs would be less than one meter from the end.
