Approximately of steam at (assuming that the boiling point of water in this experiment is .)
Explanation:
Latent heat of condensation/evaporation of water: .
Both mass values in this question are given in grams. Hence, convert the specific heat values from this question to .
Specific heat of water: .
Specific heat of copper: .
The temperature of this calorimeter and the of water that it initially contains increased from to . Calculate the amount of energy that would be absorbed:
.
.
Hence, it would take an extra of energy to increase the temperature of the calorimeter and the of water that it initially contains from to .
Assume that it would take grams of steam at ensure that the equilibrium temperature of the system is .
In other words, of steam at would need to release as it condenses (releases latent heat) and cools down to .
Latent heat of condensation from of steam: .
Energy released when that of water from the steam cools down from to :
.
These two parts of energy should add up to . That would be exactly what it would take to raise the temperature of the calorimeter and the water that it initially contains from to .
.
Solve for :
.
Hence, it would take approximately of steam at for the equilibrium temperature of the system to be .
For the first part of this question, consider that "weight" can be described as mass x acceleration of gravity. Weight is expressed in Newtons. To solve for mass in this case, simply divide 9800N by 9.8m/s^2 (Earth's gravitational acceleration). This will give you a mass of 1000 kg. This mass is moved due to the net force supplied by the normal force from the rocket "pushing" off of Earth.
For the second part, we will use the equation F = ma, which is Newton's second law. For this, we know the m, or mass, is 1000 kg. Also, we know the a, or acceleration, will be 4 m/s^2. To solve for force, we will multiply both of these values. This gives a force of 4000 N. I hope this clears things up!
