Answer:

0.0613°C

Explanation:

the given parameters are m=15gm=15×10⁻³  V₁=865m/s  V₂=534m/s

the bullet moves with different kinetic energies before and after the penetration, therefore

Kinetic energy before - kinetic energy after = 1/2 × m × ( V₁² - V₂²)

                                                                         =\frac{1}{2} × 15×10⁻³ × (865² - 534²)

                                                                         = 3.47 × 10⁻³J

 this loss in energy is transferred to the water, therefore

change in temperature = \frac{Q}{m  C}

where c = heat capacity of water = 4.19 x 10^3

          m = mass of water = 13.5 kg

= {3.47 × 10⁻³} / {13.5 x  4.19 x 10^3 }

=0.0613°C

A book is falling from the top shelf of a bookcase. Which statement correctly describes the change in the energy of the book? a.
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Correct answer letter b.

Explanation:

When the book is on the top shelf of the bookcase, it just only gravitational potential energy, due to the gravitational field and the kinetic energy at this point is zero because the book is at rest.

Now, when the book starts falling, all the potential energy will transform into the kinetic energy. It happens, thanks to the conservation of the energy,that says energy can neither be created nor destroyed, energy can only be transferred or changed from one form to another.

Let's recall that the gravitational potential energy depends on the object's position, so when the book falls, the magnitude of the position decreases and the speed of this object increases.

Therefore, the potential energy of the book decreases as kinetic energy increases.

Correct answer letter b.

I hope it helps you!

xConsider the following reduction potentials: Cu2+ + 2e– Cu E° = 0.339 V Pb2+ + 2e– Pb E° = –0.130 V For a galvanic cell employi
slega [8]

Answer:

Approximately \rm 90\; kJ.

Explanation:

Cathode is where reduction takes place and anode is where oxidation takes place. The potential of a electrochemical reaction (E^{\circ}(\text{cell})) is equal to

E^{\circ}(\text{cell}) = E^{\circ}(\text{cathode}) - E^{\circ}(\text{anode}).

There are two half-reactions in this question. \rm Cu^{2+} + 2\,e^{-} \rightleftharpoons Cu and \rm Pb^{2+} + 2\,e^{-} \rightleftharpoons Pb. Either could be the cathode (while the other acts as the anode.) However, for the reaction to be spontaneous, the value of E^{\circ}(\text{cell}) should be positive.

In this case, E^{\circ}(\text{cell}) is positive only if \rm Cu^{2+} + 2\,e^{-} \rightleftharpoons Cu is the reaction takes place at the cathode. The net reaction would be

\rm Cu^{2+} + Pb \to Cu + Pb^{2+}.

Its cell potential would be equal to 0.339 - (-0.130) = \rm 0.469\; V.

The maximum amount of electrical energy possible (under standard conditions) is equal to the free energy of this reaction:

\Delta G^{\circ} = n \cdot F \cdot E^{\circ} (\text{cell}),

where

  • n is the number moles of electrons transferred for each mole of the reaction. In this case the value of n is 2 as in the half-reactions.
  • F is Faraday's Constant (approximately 96485.33212\; \rm C \cdot mol^{-1}.)

\begin{aligned}\Delta G^{\circ} &= n \cdot F \cdot E^{\circ} (\text{cell})\cr &= 2\times 96485.33212 \times (0.339 - (-0.130)) \cr &\approx 9.0 \times 10^{4} \; \rm J \cr &= 90\; \rm kJ\end{aligned}.

<span>9000 Pascals Looking on the internet, it appears that a human can only suck about 3 feet of water. So let's convert that measurement into a few more convenient units. cmH2O = 36 * 2.54 = 91.44 cmH2O cmHg = 91.44 * 0.73555912101486 = 67.26 mmHg Pascal = 91.44 * 98.0665 = 8967 Pascals PSI = 91.44 * 0.0142233 = 1.3 psi Since we're dealing with science and the metric system is the most common system used in science, I'd recommend an answer of 9000 Pascals.</span>
