How long will it take to melt 3500 kg of steel in a 50 kW oven operating at 65% efficiency from room temperature to 1600°C?
zepelin [54]

Answer:

71195 seconds or 19.8 hours

Explanation:

Because the steel will be melted, beginning from room temperature, energy is needed to heat it from room temperature to 1600°C and another to melt it at 1600°C.

We take room temperature to be 27°C, the specific heat capacity of steel to be 420 J/kg/K and the specific latent heat of fusion of steel to be 440 J/kg.

The heat required to heat the steel from room temperature to 1600°C is given by

H_S = mc_S\delta\theta

m is the mass, c_S is the specific heat capacity and \delta\theta is the change in temperature.

H_S = 3500\times420\times(1600-27) = 2312310000

The heat required to melt it at 1600°C is

H_L = ml_S

m is the mass and l_S is the specific latent heat of fusion of steel.

H_L = 3500\times440 = 1540000

Adding both, the heat required is 2312310000+1540000=2313850000\text{ J}

Because the oven is 65% efficient, its output power = 65\%\times50000 = 32500 \text{ W}

Now, energy = power * time

Time = Energy/power

t = \dfrac{2313850000}{32500}=71195 \text{ seconds} = 19.8 \text{ seconds}

Now assume that the pitcher in Part D throws a 0.145-kg baseball parallel to the ground with a speed of 32 m/s in the +x directi
pogonyaev

Answer:

V2 = -25.93 m/s

Explanation:

First of all, we know that;

Momentum = mass x change in velocity

Thus;

Momentum = m(v2 - v1)

Also, we know that;

Impulse = force x time

And also that;

Momentum = Impulse

From the question, m = 0.145kg and V1 = 32m/s while impulse = -8.4 N.s

Thus;

0.145(v2 - 32) = -8.4

Now,

0.145v2 - 4.64 = -8.4

0.145v2 = -8.4 + 4.64

0.145v2 = -3.76

v2 = -3.76/0.145

= -25.931 m/s and to two significant figures gives -25.93 m/s

How many electrons does a neutral atom of the element oxygen have?
sesenic [268]

Answer:

8 electrons

Explanation:

Now you can figure out how many electrons, protons and neutrons Oxygen has: Atomic number (which is always the smaller of the two numbers) is 8. Hence 8 protons. Because the atom is neutral, there are also 8 electrons.
