Answer:

The velocity of the players will be <u>2.88 m/s</u> in the <u>east</u> direction.

Explanation:

Let 'v' be the velocity of the players after collision.

Consider the east direction as positive direction.

Given:

Mass of the first player  is, m_1 = 91.5 kg  

Initial velocity of the first player  is, u_1 = 2.73 m/s  

Mass of the second player  is, m_2 = 63.5 kg  

Initial velocity of the second player is, u_2 = 3.09 m/s  

In order to solve this problem we use the law of conservation of momentum which says that the total momentum must be conserved before and after the collision. So we can write:

p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1 + m_2)v

Solving for v, we get:

v = \frac{m_1 u_1+m_2 u_2}{m_1+m_2}=\frac{(91.5)(2.73)+(63.5)(3.09)}{91.5+63.5}=2.88\ m/s

Therefore, their velocity after the collision is 2.88 m/s.

The sign of the velocity after collision is positive. So, the players will move in the east direction only after collision.

How much heat is needed to vaporize 10.00 grams of water at 100.0°C? The latent heat of vaporization of water is 2,259 J/g
Nata [24]

Answer:

Heat of vaporization will be 22.59 j    

Explanation:

We have given mass m = 10 gram

And heat of vaporization L = 2.259 J/gram

We have to find the heat required to vaporize 10 gram mass

We know that heat of vaporization is given by Q=mL, here m is mass and L is latent heat of vaporization.

So heat of vaporization Q will be = 10×2.259 = 22.59 J

The freezer compartment in a conventional refrigerator can be modeled as a rectangular cavity 0.3 m high and 0.25 m wide with a
Mkey [24]

Answer:

Thickness of Styrofoam insulation is 0.02741 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Height = 0.25 m

Depth = 0.5 m

Power = 400 W

Temperature = 33°C

We need to calculate the area of Styrofoam

Using formula of area

A=2(lb+bh+hl)

Put the value into the formula

A=2(0.3\times0.5+0.25\times0.5+0.5\times0.3)

A=0.85\ m^2

Inner surface temperature of freezer

T_{i}=-10°C=263\ K

Outer surface temperature of freezer

T_{o}=33+273=306\ K

We need to calculate the thickness of Styrofoam insulation

Using Fourier law,

q=\dfrac{kA}{L}(T_{o}-T_{i})

L=\dfrac{kA}{q}(T_{o}-T_{i})

Put the value into the formula

L=\dfrac{0.30\times0.85}{400}(306-263)

L=0.02741\ m

Hence, Thickness of Styrofoam insulation is 0.02741 m.
