An inventor develops a stationary cycling device by which an individual, while pedaling, can convert all of the energy expended

into heat for warming water.
How much mechanical energy is required to increase the temperature of 300 g of water (enough for 1 cup of coffee) from 20°C to 95°C?
(1 cal = 4.186 J, the specific heat of water is 4 186 J/kg⋅°C)
a. 94 000 J
b. 22 000 J
c. 5 400 J
d. 14 J

Answer:

Q=94185\ J

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of water, m=0.3\ kg
  • initial temperature of water, T_i=20^{\circ}C
  • final temperature of water, T_f=95^{\circ}C
  • specific heat of water, c=4186\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}

<u>Now the amount of heat energy required:</u>

Q=m.c.\Delta T

Q=0.3\times 4186\times (95-20)

Q=94185\ J

Since all of the mechanical energy is being converted into heat, therefore the same amount of mechanical energy is required.

A 10.0 L tank contains 0.329 kg of helium at 28.0 ∘C. The molar mass of helium is 4.00 g/mol . Part A How many moles of helium a
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

82.25 moles of He

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Volume (V) = 10 L

Mass of He = 0.329 Kg

Temperature (T) = 28.0 °C

Molar mass of He = 4 g/mol

Mole of He =?

Next, we shall convert 0.329 Kg of He to g. This can be obtained as follow:

1 Kg = 1000 g

Therefore,

0.329 Kg = 0.329 Kg × 1000 g / 1 Kg

0.329 Kg = 329 g

Thus, 0.329 Kg is equivalent to 329 g.

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of He in the tank. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

Mass of He = 329 g

Molar mass of He = 4 g/mol

Mole of He =?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of He = 329 / 4

Mole of He = 82.25 moles

Therefore, there are 82.25 moles of He in the tank.

An airplane travels from st louis to portland, oregon in 4.33 hours. if the distance traveled is 2,742 kilometers, what is the a
Makovka662 [10]

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (total time to cover the distance)

                       =  (2,742 km)  /  (4.33 hours)

                       =  (2,742 / 4.33)    km/hr

                       =      633 km/hr        (rounded)

A box accidentally drops from a truck traveling at a speed of 20.0 m/s and slides along the ground for a distance of 30.0 m Calc
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

a= - 6.667 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that

The initial speed of the box ,u= 20 m/s

The final speed of the box ,v=  0 m/s

The distance cover by box ,s= 30 m

Lets take the acceleration of the box = a

We know that

v²= u ² + 2 a s

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

0²=20² + 2 a x 30

a=- \dfrac{20^2}{2\times 30} \ m/s^2

a= - 6.667 m/s²

Negative sign indicates that velocity and acceleration are in opposite direction.

Therefore the acceleration of the box will be  - 6.667 m/s² .

Ten high-technology batteries are tested for 200 hours each. One failed at 20 hours; another failed at 140 hours; all others com
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Failure rate   = 20%

MTBF = 880 hours

Explanation:

given data

batteries = 10

tested = 200 hours

one failed = 20 hours

another fail at =  140 hours

solution

we know that Mean Time between Failures is express as = (Total up time) ÷  (number of breakdowns)    ....................1

so here Total up time will be

Total up time = 200 × 10

Total up time = 2000

and here

Number of breakdown = 1 at 20 hour and another at 140 hour = 2

so it will be  = (Total up time) ÷ (number of breakdowns)      .......2

=  \frac{2000}{2}   =  1000  

so here gap between occurrences is

gap between occurrences=  140 - 20

gap between occurrences = 120 hour

and

MTBF  will be

MTBF = 1000 - 120

MTBF = 880 hours  

and

Failure rate (FR)  will be

Failure rate (FR) =  1 ÷ MTBF    ................3

Failure rate (FR) = R÷T     ......................4

as here R is the number of failures and T is total time

so Failure rate (FR)  = 20%

Full moon!

when Earth is exactly between the Moon and Sun, Earth's shadow falls upon the surface of the Moon, dimming it and sometimes turning the surface red over the course of a few hours.
