Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The current is $I = 4.2 \ A$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The voltage of battery is $V = 25 V$

The capacitance of capacitor is $C = 15 \mu F$

The resistance of the resistor is $R = 6 \Omega$

Generally the current at the instant the capacitor starts charging is

$I = \frac{V}{R}$

substituting values

$I = \frac{25}{6}$

$I = 4.2 \ A$

The forces are:

$F_{grav} = 98,000 N$ , down

$F_{net} = 80,000 N$ , down

$F_{air}=18,000 N$ , up

Explanation:

We start by finding the force of gravity on the elephant, $F_{grav}$ , which is given by

$F_{grav}=mg$ (downward)

where

m = 10,000 kg is the mass of the elephant

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

Substituting,

$F_{grav}=(10,000)(9.8)=98,000 N$

Now we know that the net acceleration of the elephant is

$a_{net}=8.0 m/s^2$ downward

We can now use Newton's second law:

$F_{net}=ma_{net}$

where $F_{net}$ is the net force on the elephant. Substituting, we find

$F_{net}=(10,000)(8.0)=80,000 N$

and it also acts downward, since it has the same direction as the acceleration.

Finally, we can write the net force on the elephant as

$F_{net}=F_{grav}-F_{air}$

where the force of gravity acts downward, while the air resistance ( $F_{air}$ acts upward. The net force also acts downward, so it has the same sign of gravity.

Substituting:

$F_{net}=80,000 N\\F_{grav}=98,000 N$

And solving, we find the air resistance:

$F_{air}=F_{grav}-F_{net}=98,000-80,000 = 18,000 N$ (upward)

Calculate the entropy change that occurs when 1.0kg of water at 20.00 C is mixed with 2.0kg of water at 80.00 C

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The change in entropy ΔS = 0.0011 kJ/(kg·K)

Explanation:

The given information are;

The mass of water at 20.0°C = 1.0 kg

The mass of water at 80.0°C = 2.0 kg

The heat content per kg of each of the mass of water is given as follows;

The heat content of the mass of water at 20.0°C = h₁ = 83.92 KJ/kg

The heat content of the mass of water at 80.0°C = h₂ = 334.949 KJ/kg

Therefore, the total heat of the the two bodies = 83.92 + 2*334.949 = 753.818 kJ/kg

The heat energy of the mixture =

1 × 4200 × (T - 20) = 2 × 4200 × (80 - T)

∴ T = 60°C

The heat content, of the water at 60° = 251.154 kJ/kg

Therefore, the heat content of water in the 3 kg of the mixture = 3 × 251.154 = 753.462

The change in entropy ΔS = ΔH/T = (753.818 - 753.462)/(60 + 273.15) = 0.0011 kJ/(kg·K).
