Answer:

The potential energy at point A is 17.1675 J

Explanation:

The capillary potential is the work expended to bring up a unit mass of liquid to a point in a capillary region from a level liquid surface. It is the capillary potential that facilitates the movement of moisture within soil capillaries

In meteorology it is used to describe the level of saturated soil above the water table

Potential energy is the energy inherent in a body by virtue of its position, therefore the potentials of both point A and B are

Point A, elevation = 75 cm capillary potential = -100 cm

Point B, elevation = 25 cm capillary potential = -200 cm

The total potential energy at point A is

Elevation above reference - capillary potential =75-(-100) = 175 cm

which gives per unit mass

PE = m × g × h = 1 kg × 9.81 m/s ² × 1.75 m = 17.1675 kg·m²/s² = 17.1675 J

A 40-cm-diameter, 300 g beach ball is dropped with a 4.0 mg ant riding on the top. The ball experiences air resistance, but the
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The normal force exerted on the ant is 0.75 N.

Explanation:

Given;

diameter of the ball, D = 40 cm = 0.4m

radius of the ball, r = 0.2m

mass of the beach ball, m₁ = 300 g = 0.3 kg

mass of the ant, m₂ = 4 x 10⁻⁶ kg

speed of the ball, v = 4 m/s

The area of the ball, assuming spherical ball is given by;

A = 4πr²

A = 4π(0.2)² = 0.5027 m²

The drag force (resistance) experienced by the spherical ball is given as;

F_D = \frac{1}{2}C\rho Av^2

where;

C is the drag coefficient of the spherical ball = 0.45

ρ is density of air = 1.21 kg/m³

F_D = \frac{1}{2}C\rho Av^2\\\\F_D = \frac{1}{2}(0.45)(1.21) (0.5027)(4)^2\\\\F_D = 2.19 \ N

The downward force of the ball due to its weight and that of the ant is given by;

F_g = mg\\\\F_g =g(m_{ant} + m_{ball})\\\\F_g = g(4*10^{-6} \ kg\ + \ 0.3\ kg)\\\\F_g = g(0.300004 \ kg) \ \ \ (mass \ of \ the \ ant \ is \ insignificant)\\\\F_g = 9.8(0.3)\\\\F_g = 2.94 \ N

The net downward force experienced by the ball is given by;

F_{net} = F_g - F_D\\\\F_{net} = 2.94 \ N - 2.19 \ N\\\\F_{net} = 0.75 \ N

This downward force experienced by the ball is equal to the normal reaction it exerts on the ant.

Thus, the normal force exerted on the ant is 0.75 N.

Um bloco de prata de massa m= 40g é aquecido de 30°C até 80° C
lesantik [10]

Answer:

a) Q = 111.6 cal

b) T2 = 415.15K = 142°C

Explanation:

a) To calculate the amount oh heat given to the block of silver, you use the following formula:

Q=mc(T_2-T_1)      (1)

m: mass of the block = 40g

T2: final temperature = 80°C = 353.15k

T1: initial temperature = 30°C = 303.25K

c: specific heat of silver = 0.0558cal/g.K

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (1):

Q=(40g)(0.0558cal/g.K)(353.15K-303.15K)=111.6\ cal

hence, the amount of heat is 111.6 cal

b) The temperature is calculated by solving the equation (1) for T2:

T_2=\frac{Q}{mc}+T_1\\\\T_2=\frac{250cal}{(40g)(0.0558cal/g.K)}+303.15K=415.15K

hence, the final temperature when 250 cal of heat is geiven to the block of silver, is 415.15K

To identify a diatomic gas (X2), a researcher carried out the following experiment: She weighed an empty 5.1-L bulb, then filled
Paladinen [302]

Answer: Nitrogen gas

Explanation:

Using ideal Gas's law

PV = nRT

where

Pressure of gas, P= 1atm

Volume of gas, V= 5.1L

no of moles of gas, n=

Ideal gas constant, R= 0.0821

Temperature of gas, T= 20°C = 20+273 = 293K

also, n= (mass/molar mass)

mass of the gas m = 5.9g

Molar mass of the gas = ?

So, PV = (mRT/M)

We're looking for molar mass M, then

M = mRT/PV

M = (5.9 * 0.0821 * 293)/(1 * 5.1)

M = 141.93/5.1

M = 27.8g/mol ~ 28g/mol

Since the gas is diatomic, then we say,

Atomic mass of gas = 1/2 * molar mass

Atomic mass = 1/2 * 28

Atomic mass = 14

Therefore, the gas is nitrogen.
