Evaporation is the process of a substance in a liquid state changing to a gaseous state due to an increase in temperature and/or pressure. Evaporation is a fundamental part of the water cycle and is constantly occurring throughout nature.

The mass of a ship before launch is 55,000 metric tons. The ship is launched down a ramp and drops a total of 10 vertical meters
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

ΔT = 17.11 °C

Explanation:

In this case, we have a ship standing on a place with a given mass and it's about to be launched to a lock containing water.

At first, before launch, the ship has a potential energy, and when the ship hits the water after being launched, this potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.

So, let's calculate first the potential energy of the ship:

E = mgh   (1)

We have the mass, gravity and height, so we need to replace the given data here. Before we do that, let's remember to use the correct units. A ton is 1000 kg, so replacing and converting we have:

E = (55000 ton * 1000 kg/ton) * (9.8 m/s²) * 10 m

E = 5.39x10⁹ J

Now this energy will be the same when the ship hits the water, only that is kinetic energy that will result in the rise of temperature. To get this rise we use the following expression:

E = m * C * ΔT   (2)

We have the energy, the mass of water (assuming density of water as 1 kg/m³) and the specific heat, so, replacing in (2) and solving for ΔT we have:

ΔT = E / m * C    (3)

ΔT = 5.39x10⁹ / 4200 * 75000

<h2>ΔT = 17.11 °C</h2>

Hope this helps

Water enters a cylindrical tank through two pipes at rates of 250 and 100 gal/min. If the level of the water in the tank remains
tester [92]

Answer:

The total amount of water that enters the tank is:

250 gal/min + 100 gal/min = 350gal/min.

Then, if the level of the water remains constant, this means that the water leaves the tank at a rate of 350gal/min.

We know that the diameter of the pipe is 8 inches, then the area of the pipe is:

A = pi*(d/2)^2 = 3.14*(4in)^2 = 50.24in^2

now, the flow can be calculated as:

Q = v*A = (velocity*area)

if we want to write our velocity in inches per minute, then we need to write the entering flow in cubic inches:

1 gallon = 231 in^3

then:

350gal/min = (350*231) in^3/min = 80,850 in^3/min.

Then the water that leaves the tank must be the same amoun, we have:

Q = 80,850 in^3/min. = v*A = v*50.24in^2

v =  (80,850in^3/min)/50.24in^2 = 1609.3 in/min.

The velocity of the flow leaving the tank is 1609.3 in/min.

Calculate the amount of heat liberated (in kj) from 411 g of mercury when it cools from 88.0°c to 12.0°c.
Katen [24]
You should note that the melting point of mercury is -38.83°C, while the boiling point is at 356.7°C. Then, that means that there is no latent heat involved here. We only compute for the sensible heat.

ΔH = mCpΔT
The Cp of mercury is 0.14 J/g·°C
Thus,
ΔH = (411 g)(0.14 J/g·°C)(88 - 12°C)
<em>ΔH = 4,373.04 J</em>

A woman holds a book by placing it between her hands such that she presses at right angles to the front and back covers. The boo
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we need to make a free body diagram of the book and the forces that interact on it. In the picture below you can see the free body diagram with these forces.

The person holding the book is compressing it with his hands, thus exerting a couple of forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction with value F.

Now the key to solving this problem is to analyze the equilibrium condition (Newton's third law) on the x & y axes.

To find the weight of the book we simply multiply the mass of the book by gravity.

W = m*g

W = 1.3[kg] * 9.81[m/s^2]

W = 12.75 [N]

A mover brings a box up the stairs in 10 seconds. If he applied a force of 20 N over a distance 10 m on the box, calculate the p
Softa [21]

Answer:

20 Watts

Explanation:

Work = force × distance

W = (20 N) (10 m)

W = 200 Joules

Power = work / time

P = 200 J / 10 s

P = 20 Watts
