A 20 kg curling stone is sliding in a positive direction at 4 m/s. A second curling stone is sliding at the same speed but in th

e opposite direction. What is the kinetic energy of the two stones?

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the two stones is 320 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy that a body possesses due to its movement. So it is the capacity or work that allows an object to go from being at rest, or still, to moving at a certain speed.

In other words, the kinetic energy of an object is that which is produced due to its motion and depends on its mass and velocity as follows:

Ec=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}

where the kinetic energy Ec is measured in joules (J), the mass m is measured in kilograms (kg) and the velocity v in meters/second (m/s).

In this case you know that a 20 kg curling stone is sliding in a positive direction at 4 m/s. So:

  • m= 20 kg
  • v= 4 m/s

Replacing you have:

Ec_{1} =\frac{1}{2} *20 kg*(4\frac{m}{s}) ^{2}

Ec₁= 160 J

A second curling stone slides at the same speed but in the opposite direction. So:

  • m= 20 kg
  • v= - 4 m/s

Replacing you have:

Ec_{2} =\frac{1}{2} *20 kg*(-4\frac{m}{s}) ^{2}

Ec₂= 160 J

The kinetic energy of the two stones is calculated as:

Ec= Ec₁ + Ec₂

Ec= 160 J + 160 J

Ec= 320 J

<u><em>The kinetic energy of the two stones is 320 J</em></u>

Your boss tells you that water at 68 F is flowing in a cooling tower loop at a rate of 600 gpm, in an 8-inch inside diameter pip
avanturin [10]

Explanation:

The volumetric flow rate of water will be as follows.

       q = 600 gpm \times \frac{0.000063 m^{3} s^{-1}}{1 gpm}

         = 0.0378 m^{3}/s&#10;

    Diameter = 8 in \times \frac{0.0254 m}{1 in}

                   = 0.2032 m

Relation between area and diameter is as follows.

           A = \frac{\pi}{4} \times D^{2}

               = \frac{3.14}{4} \times (0.2032 m)^{2}

               = 0.785 x 0.2032 x 0.2032

               = 0.0324 m^{2}

Also,     q = A × V

or,         V = \frac{q}{A}

                = \frac{0.0378 m^{3}/s}{0.0324 m^{2}}

                = 1.166 m/s

As, viscosity of water = 1 cP = 10^{-3} Pa-s

Density of water = 1000 kg/m^{3}

Therefore, we will calculate Reynolds number as follows.

 Reynolds number = \frac{D \times V \times density}{viscosity}

                                 = \frac{0.2032 m \times 1.166 m/s  \times 1000}{10^{-3}}  

                                = 236931.2

Hence, the flow will be turbulent in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that the Reynolds number is 236931.2 and flow is turbulent.

A student isolated 7.2 g of 1-bromobutane reacting equimolar amounts of 1-butanol (10 ml) and NaBr (11.1 g) in the presence of s
Alla [95]

<u>Answer:</u> The percent yield of the 1-bromobutane is 48.65 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}     .....(1)

  • <u>For NaBr:</u>

Given mass of NaBr = 11.1 g

Molar mass of NaBr = 103 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of NaBr}=\frac{11.1g}{103g/mol}=0.108mol

The chemical equation for the reaction of 1-butanol and NaBr is:

\text{1-butanol + NaBr}\rightarrow \text{1-bromobutane}

By Stoichiometry of the reaction

1 mole of NaBr produces 1 mole of 1-bromobutane

So, 0.108 moles of NaBr will produce = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.108=0.108 moles of 1-bromobutane

  • Now, calculating the mass of 1-bromobutane from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of 1-bromobutane = 137 g/mol

Moles of 1-bromobutane = 0.108 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.108mol=\frac{\text{Mass of 1-bromobutane}}{137g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of 1-bromobutane}=(0.108mol\times 137g/mol)=14.80g

  • To calculate the percentage yield of 1-bromobutane, we use the equation:

\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100

Experimental yield of 1-bromobutane = 7.2 g

Theoretical yield of 1-bromobutane = 14.80 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\%\text{ yield of 1-bromobutane}=\frac{7.2g}{14.80g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of 1-bromobutane}=48.65\%

Hence, the percent yield of the 1-bromobutane is 48.65 %

How atomic radius changes across a period and down a group in the periodic table?
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

An atom gets larger as the number of electronic shells increase; therefore the radius of atoms increases as you go down a certain group in the periodic table of elements. In general, the size of an atom will decrease as you move from left to the right of a certain period.

Which alkane is the isomer of butane called 2-methylpropane? A skeletal model of a 4-carbon chain has a straight line extending
solmaris [256]

Answer:

A three-carbon chain has a straight line extending from the center carbon.

Explanation:

Isomers are compounds having the same molecular formula but different structural formulas.

Butane and 2-methylpropane are constitutional isomers. Constitutional isomers differ in the way that the constituent atoms are connected to each other.

Butane is a straight chain compound while the compound 2-methylpropane consists of a three-carbon chain which has a straight line extending from the center carbon.
