An aluminum rod of length 3.3 m and crosssectional area 3.8 cm2 is inserted vertically into a thermally insulated vessel contain

ing liquid helium at 4.2 K. The rod is initialy at 274 K. If half of the rod is inserted into the helium, how many liters of helium boil off in the very short time during which the inserted half cools to 4.2 K? The density of liquid helium at 4.2 K is 122 kg/m3 and its latent heat is 20900 J/kg. The specific heat of aluminum is 900 J/kg · ◦ C and its density is 2700 kg/m3 . Answer in units of L.

Answer:

V_vap = 161.2 L

Explanation:

The total mass of the aluminum rod is given as;

m = ρ∙V = ρ∙L∙A

Where;

ρ is density = 2700 kg/m³

L is length = 3.3m

A is cross sectional area = 3.8 cm² = 3.8 x 10⁻⁴ m²

Thus;

m = 2700kg/m³•3.3m•3.8 × 10⁻⁴m²

= 3.3858kg

By cooling down the submerged half of the aluminum rod releases an heat amount of

Q = (1/2)∙m∙cp∙∆T

Where;

cp is specific heat of aluminum aluminum = 900 J/kg

∆T is change in temperature = 274 - 4.2 = 269.8 K

Thus;

Q = (1/2)•3.3858•900•(269.8)

= 411069.978 J

The liquid absorbs this heat and vaporizes partially, such that the heat equals vaporized mass times latent heat of vaporization:

Q = m_vap•∆h_vap

Making m_vap the subject;

m_vap∙ = Q/∆h_vap

Where ∆h_vap is latent heat of vaporization given as 20900J/kg

Thus,

m_vap∙ = 411069.978/20900

= 19.668 kg

Let's divide this mass by the density of liquid helium and we get the liquid volume which has vaporized:

V_vap∙= m_vap/ρ

V_vap∙ = 19.668/122

V_vap∙ = 0.1612 m³

Converting to litres;

V_vap = 0.1612 x 1000

V_vap = 161.2 L

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

2.5x10^-3 J

Explanation:

C=50mC

V=10V

U=1/2 C (V)^2

=1/2(50)(10)^2 x (10)^-6

=25(100)/1000000

=2.5x10^-3

motorcycle accelerates from rest to a final velocity of 27 m/s in 9 seconds. What is its acceleration?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

3 m/s squared

Explanation:

The formula you use is Vf= Vi + at. You rearrange it to a= Vf - Vi/t. The Vf is 27m/s. The Vi is 0m/s and the t is 9s. Cross out Vi since it’s zero and you’re left with a= 27m/s divided by 9s, which equals 3

A girl pushes a 1.04 kg book across a table with a horizontal applied force 10 points
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Approximately 11.0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}. (Assuming that g = 9.81 \; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1}, and that the tabletop is level.)

Explanation:

Weight of the book:

W = m \cdot g = 1.04 \; \rm kg \times 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1} \approx 10.202\; \rm N.

If the tabletop is level, the normal force on the book will be equal (in magnitude) to weight of the book. Hence, F(\text{normal force}) \approx 10.202\; \rm N.

As a side note, the F_N and W on this book are not equal- these two forces are equal in size but point in the opposite directions.

When the book is moving, the friction F(\text{kinetic friction}) on it will be equal to

  • \mu_{\rm k}, the coefficient of kinetic friction, times
  • F(\text{normal force}), the normal force that's acting on it.

That is:

\begin{aligned}& F(\text{kinetic friction}) \\ &= \mu_{\rm k}\cdot F(\text{normal force})\\ &\approx 0.35 \times 10.202\; \rm N \approx 3.5708\; \rm N\end{aligned}.

Friction acts in the opposite direction of the object's motion. The friction here should act in the opposite direction of that 15.0\; \rm N applied force. The net force on the book shall be:

\begin{aligned}& F(\text{net force})  \\ &= 15.0 \; \rm N - F(\text{kinetic friction}) \\& \approx 15.0 - 3.5708\; \rm N \approx 11.429\; \rm N\end{aligned}.

Apply Newton's Second Law to find the acceleration of this book:

\displaystyle a = \frac{F(\text{net force})}{m} \approx \frac{11.429\; \rm N}{1.04\; \rm kg} \approx 11.0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}.

I NEED HELP ASAP
LiRa [457]

The object is called a meteor because it is producing Streak of light  and has not yet struck earth.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

A meteoroid is a celestial object which is very smaller than an asteroid. These objects are produced as a collision impact from mars or moon and float freely in space without any specific orbit. When they come inside the Earth's gravitational field, they are attracted by the Earth's gravity to Earth's crust. These objects in Earth's atmosphere are called meteors. As they travel through Earth's atmosphere, they do face a huge friction from Earth's atmosphere which let them burn and that is visible as the tail of the meteor.

Most of them are so small that they are burnt away in the atmosphere. But some are bigger and they reach the Earth's surface and are called as meteorites.
