Answer:

    x_total = 600 m

Explanation:

This is an exercise and kinematics, let's find the time it takes to reach the velocity  20 m / s

          v = v₀ + a t

           

as part of rest v₀ = 0

          t = v / a

          t = 20/2

          t = 10 s

let's find the distance traveled in this time

          x₁ = vo t + ½ a t2

          x₁ = 0 + ½ 2 10²

          x₁ = 100 m

The remaining time is

          t₂ = 35 - t

          t₂ = 35 - 10

          t₂ = 25 s

as in this range it has a constant speed

          v = x₂ / t₂

          x₂ = v t₂

          x₂ = 20  25

          x₂ = 500 m

the total distance traveled is

           x_total = x₁ + x₂

           x_total = 100 + 500

           x_total = 600 m

How much heat (in kJ) is required to warm 13.0 g of ice, initially at -12.0 ∘C, to steam at 109.0 ∘C?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

39.699 kJ

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In this situation, there are a few transformations as follows;

(i) Heat required to warm the ice from -12°C to its melting point.

(ii) Heat required to melt the ice.

(iii) Heat required to boil the melted ice to boiling point (i.e to steam)

(iv) Heat required to vapourize the water

(v) Heat required to heat the steam from 100°C to 109.0°C

The sum of all the heat processes gives the heat required to warm the ice to steam;

<h3><em>Calculate each of these heat processes</em></h3>

<em>From (i);</em>

Let the heat required to warm the ice from -12.0°C to its melting point (0°C) be Q₁.

Q₁ = m x c x ΔT        -----------------------(i)

Where;

m = mass of ice = 13.0g

c = specific heat capacity of ice = 2.09 J/g°C

ΔT = final temperature - initial temperature = 0°C - (-12°C) = 12°C

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

Q₁ = 13.0 x 2.09 x 12 = 326.04 J

<em>From (ii);</em>

Let the heat required to melt the ice be Q₂. This heat is called the heat of fusion and it is given by;

Q₂ = m x L        -----------------------(ii)

Where;

m = mass of ice = 13.0g

L = latent heat of fusion of ice = 333.6 J/g

Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;

Q₂ = 13.0 x 333.6

Q₂ = 4336.8 J

<em>From (iii);</em>

Let the heat required to boil the melted ice from 0°C to boiling point of 100°C be Q₃.

Q₃ =  m x c x ΔT        -----------------------(i)

Where;

m = mass of melted ice (water) which is still 13.0g

c = specific heat capacity of melted ice (water) = 4.2 J/g°C

ΔT = final temperature - initial temperature = 100°C - 0°C = 100°C

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

Q₁ = 13.0 x 4.2 x 100 = 5460 J

<em>From (iv);</em>

Let the heat required to vaporize the water (melted ice) be Q₄. This heat is called the heat of vaporization and it is given by;

Q₄ = m x L        -----------------------(iv)

Where;

m = mass of ice = 13.0g

L = latent heat of vaporization of water = 2257 J/g

Substitute these values into equation (iv) as follows;

Q₄ = 13.0 x 2257

Q₄ = 29341 J

<em>From (v);</em>

Let the heat required to heat the steam from 100°C to 109°C be Q₅.

Q₅ =  m x c x ΔT        -----------------------(i)

Where;

m = mass of steam which is still 13.0g

c = specific heat capacity of steam = 2.01 J/g°C

ΔT = final temperature - initial temperature = 109.0°C - 100°C = 9°C

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

Q₅ = 13.0 x 2.01 x 9 = 235.17J

<em>Finally:</em>

<em>Sum all the heat values together;</em>

Q = Q₁ + Q₂ + Q₃ + Q₄ + Q₅

Q = 326.04 + 4336.8 + 5460 + 29341 + 235.17

Q = 39699.01 J

Q = 39.699 kJ

Therefore, the amount of heat (in kJ) required is 39.699

(a) and (b) ??Thanks <br>HELP <br>d8 =1​
garri49 [273]

Explanation:

(a) You can solve this using kinematics or energy.

Using kinematics:

a = F/m = 90 N / 4 kg = 22.5 m/s²

v₀ = 0 m/s

Δx = 5 m

Find: v

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (22.5 m/s²) (5 m)

v = 15 m/s

Using energy:

W = ΔKE

Fd = ½ mv²

(90 N) (5 m) = ½ (4 kg) v²

v = 15 m/s

(b) ΔU = mg Δh

ΔU = (4 kg) (9.8 m/s) (12 m sin 40° − 15 m)

ΔU = -290 J

W = ΔU = -290 J

Fill in the word that completes each statement.
sashaice [31]

Answer:

  • Current cannot flow through a circuit when the switch is OPEN
  • Current flows through a circuit and all of the bulbs are lit only when the Switch is  CLOSE

Explanation:

In a series connected electrical circuit as also seen in all electrical Circuit the switch allows the flow of Electricity through out the circuit therefore causing the lighting of bulbs and also other electrical appliances to receive electricity.

When the switch is Open the flow of electricity in the circuit is disrupted while when the Switch is closed it allows the flow of electricity seamlessly through out the circuit. there are different types of switches but the most important is the MAIN SWITCH  because it is used to shutoff electricity completely from the entire circuit during emergencies or repairs.

The diameter of our disk-shaped galaxy, the Milky Way, is about 1.0 x 10^5 light-years (ly). The distance to the Andromeda galax
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

500 cm

Explanation:

Diameter of Milky Way = 1\times 10^5\ ly

Here, this distance is equal = 25 cm

1\times 10^5\ ly=25\ cm

\\\Rightarrow 1\ cm=\frac{1}{25}\times 10^5\ ly\\\Rightarrow 1\ cm=0.04\times 10^5\ ly\\\Rightarrow 1\ ly=\frac{1}{0.04\times 10^5}\ cm

Distance between the Andromeda galaxy and Milky Way is 2 million ly

2\times 10^6\ ly=2\times 10^6\times \frac{1}{0.04\times 10^5}\\\Rightarrow 2\times 10^6\ ly=500\ cm

Hence, the plates would be 500 cm apart
