M = 20.0kg, the mass of the block.
c = 1700 J/(kg-°C), the specific heat
ΔT = 25 - 15 = 10 °C = 10 K, the change in temperature.

The change in thermal energy is
Q = (20.0 \, kg)*(1700 \,  \frac{J}{kg-C} )*(10 \, C) = 340 \times 10^{3} \, J

Answer: 340 kJ (or 340,000 J)

A balloon is a sphere with a radius of 5.0 m. the force of air against the walls of the balloon is 45 n. what is the air pressur
Mazyrski [523]

The air pressure inside the balloon is: 0.1432 Pa

The formulas and procedures that we will use to solve this problem are:

  • a = 4 * π * r²
  • P = F/a

Where:

  • a = area of the sphere
  • r = radius
  • π = mathematical constant
  • P = Pressure
  • F = Force
  • a = surface area

Information about the problem:

  • r = 5.0 m
  • F = 45 N
  • 1 Pa = N/m²
  • 1 N = kg * m/s²
  • a=?
  • P=?

Using the formula of the sphere area we get:

a = 4 * π * r²

a = 4 * 3.1416 * (5.0 m)²

a = 314.16 m²

Applying the pressure formula we get:

P = F/a

P = 45 N/314.16 m²

P = 0.1432 Pa

<h3>What is pressure?</h3>

It is a physical quantity that expresses the force applied on the area of a surface.

A car travels at a steady 40.0 m/s around a horizontal curve of radius 200 m. What is the minimumcoefficient of static friction
zhenek [66]

Answer:

c. 0.816

Explanation:

Let the mass of car be 'm' and coefficient of static friction be 'μ'.

Given:

Speed of the car (v) = 40.0 m/s

Radius of the curve (R) = 200 m

As the car is making a circular turn, the force acting on it is centripetal force which is given as:

Centripetal force is, F_c=\frac{mv^2}{R}

The frictional force is given as:

Friction = Normal force × Coefficient of static friction

f=\mu N

As there is no vertical motion, therefore, N=mg. So,

f=\mu mg

Now, the centripetal force is provided by the frictional force. Therefore,

Frictional force = Centripetal force

f=F_c\\\\\mu mg=\frac{mv^2}{R}\\\\\mu=\frac{v^2}{Rg}

Plug in the given values and solve for 'μ'. This gives,

\mu = \frac{(40\ m/s)^2}{200\ m\times 9.8\ m/s^2}\\\\\mu=\frac{1600\ m^2/s^2}{1960\ m^2/s^2}\\\\\mu=0.816

Therefore, option (c) is correct.

What are (a) the energy of a photon corresponding to wavelength 6.0 nm, (b) the kinetic energy of an electron with de Broglie wa
dlinn [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = 6.0 nm

de Broglie wavelength = 6.0 nm

(a). We need to calculate the energy of photon

Using formula of energy

E = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda}

E=\dfrac{6.63\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^{8}}{6.0\times10^{-9}}

E=3.315\times10^{-17}\ J

(b).  We need to calculate the kinetic energy of an electron

Using formula of kinetic energy

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}

E=\dfrac{h^2}{2m\lambda^2}

Put the value into the formula

E=\dfrac{(6.63\times10^{-34})^2}{2\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times(6.0\times10^{-9})^2}

E=6.709\times10^{-21}\ J

(c). We need to calculate the energy of photon

Using formula of energy

E = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda}

E=\dfrac{6.63\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^{8}}{6.0\times10^{-15}}

E=3.315\times10^{-11}\ J

(d). We need to calculate the kinetic energy of an electron

Using formula of kinetic energy

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}

E=\dfrac{h^2}{2m\lambda^2}

Put the value into the formula

E=\dfrac{(6.63\times10^{-34})^2}{2\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times(6.0\times10^{-15})^2}

E=6.709\times10^{-9}\ J

Hence, This is the required solution.

5.0 kg, with a bullet of mass 0.1 kg. The target was mounted on
kari74 [83]

Answer:

306 m/s

Explanation:

Law of conservation of momentum

m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1+m2)vf

m1 is the bullet's mass so it is 0.1 kg

v1 is what we're trying to solve

m2 is the target's mass so it is 5.0 kg

v2 is the targets velocity, and since it was stationary, its velocity is zero

vf is the velocity after the target is struck by the bullet, so it is 6.0 m/s

plugging in, we get

(0.1 kg)(v1) + (5.0 kg)(0 m/s) = (0.1 kg + 5.0 kg)(6.0 m/s)

(0.1)(v1) + 0 = 30.6

(0.1)(v1) = 30.6

v1 = 306 m/s

What is the only function of the pulleys in the diagram?
tia_tia [17]

The only function of the pulleys in the diagram is to change the direction

of the force applied to raise the bricks.

<h3>What is a Pulley?</h3>

A pulley is a wheel which has a flexible rope on its rim and helps to

transmit energy and motion.

In the diagram given, we can see that the pulley is used to raise a mass of

block by three people. They pull the rope horizontally in order to raise the

block vertically. This means that it was used to change the direction of the

applied force.
