An immersion heater of power J= 500 W is used to heat water in a bowl. After 2 minutes, the temperature increases from T1= 85°C

to T2 = 90°C. The heater is then switched off for an additional minute, and the temperature drops by Estimate the mass of the water in the bowl. The thermal capacity of water c = 4.2 x 103 J K-1 Kg-1

Answer: 0.051kg

Explanation:

Using the law of calorimetry which states that the amount of heat lost by a hot substance is equal to the amount of heat gained by the cold substance.

Applying the law to this question,

Amount of heat lost by the heater = heat gained by the water

Heat lost by Immersion heater Q1 = Power×time

Given power = 500W time = 2minutes = 120seconds

Heat loss by immersion heater = 500×120 = 60,000Joules

Heat gained by water = mc∆t where;

m is the mass of the water in the bowl = ?

c is the specific heat capacity = 4.2x10³JK-1 Kg-1

∆t = change in temperature = 90°C -85°C = 5°C

= 273+5 = 278K

Substituting in the formula we have;

Q2= 4.2×10³×278×m = 1,167,600m

According to the law if calorimetry,

Q2=Q1

1,167,600m = 60000

m = 60000/1,167,600

m = 0.051kg

Therefore the mass of water in the bowl is 0.051kg

<h3>What is pressure?</h3>

The amount of force applied on perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area. The unit of it is pascal.

According to bernaulli's theorem theorem

P+1/2pV²+pgy = constant

where p fluid density

g is acceleration due to gravity, pressure at elevation,v is Velocity at elevation ,y is height of elevation.

As there are two tubes then the height of tube 1 is equal to height of tube two .

Atmospheric pressure decreases as altitude increases. in other words, there is more air pushing down on you at sea level, and th
Nutka1998 [239]
At sea level, the size amid the 2 alkanes lets for pentane to simmer at a lower temperature than hexane. Phenol has a higher boiling point due to hydrogen bonding High altitude would have the same order while low pressure only cuts the temperature at which a solvent boils. Boiling has to do with molecular size, the occurrence/nonappearance of hydrogen bonds, and other steric issues.
So the answer would be pentane high altitude, hexane high altitude, hexane sea level, hexanol sea level. In order of boil first to boil last. This is clarified because altitude has a better effect on vapor pressure (and hence boiling points) than inter-molecular forces.

Lonnie pitches a baseball of mass 0.20 kg. The ball arrives at home plate with a speed of 40 m/s and is batted straight back to
suter [353]

Answer:

B) 20N.s is the correct answer

Explanation:

The formula for the impulse is given as:

Impulse = change in momentum

Impulse = mass × change in speed

Impulse = m × ΔV

Given:

initial speed  = 40m/s

Final speed = -60 m/s (Since the the ball will now move in the opposite direction after hitting the bat, the speed is negative)

mass = 0.20 kg

Thus, we have

Impulse = 0.20 × (40m/s - (-60)m/s)

Impulse = 0.20 × 100 = 20 kg-m/s or 20 N.s

Two ice skaters stand together as illustrated in the attached figure. They "push off" and travel directly away from each other,
Tema [17]
By definition, the momentum is given by:
 p = m * v
 Where,
 m = mass
 v = speed.
 On the other hand,
 F = m * a
 Where,
 m = mass
 a = acceleration:
 For the boy we have:
 p1 = m * v
 p1 = (F / a) * v
 p1 = ((710) / (9.81)) * (0.50)
 p1 = 36.19 Kg * (m / s)
 For the girl we have:
 p2 = m * v
 p2 = (F / a) * v
 p2 = ((480) / (9.81)) * (v)
 p2 = 48.93 * v Kg * (m / s)
 Then, we have:
 p1 + p2 = 0
 36.19 + 48.93 * v = 0
 Clearing v:
 v = - (36.19) / (48.93)
 v = -0.74 m / s (negative because the velocity is in the opposite direction of the boy's)
 Answer:
 the girl's velocity in m / s after they push off is -0.74 m / s
