What happens to the particles in water as the water is heated and turns to vapor? (2 points)

Naddik [55]

Answer:

The particles will more likely to move faster since they are converted from a liquid to gas.

Rules for States of Matter:

1. Solid particles always are packed close together and don't have much space to move.

2. Liquid particles have space to move around but are still packed together, but not as close as solid.

3. Gas particles are moving freely, in fact they are in the air! Gas particles are free to move wherever. For example, the air has gas particles that are constantly bumping into each other.

Let me know if I am right =)

Steam at 100°C is condensed into a 38.0 g aluminum calorimeter cup containing 280 g of water at 25.0°C. Determine the amount of

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

7.2g

Explanation:

From the expression of latent heat of steam, we have

Heat supplied by steam = Heat gain water + Heat gain by calorimeter

mathematically,

$m_{s}c_{w} \alpha _{w}$ + $m_{s}l$ = $m_{w}c_{w} \alpha _{w}$ + $m_{c}c_{c} \alpha c_{c}$

L=specific latent heat of water(steam)=2268J/g

$c_{w}$ =specific heat capacity=4.2J/gK

$c_{c}$ =specific heat capacity of calorimeter =0.9J/gk

$m_{w}$ =280g

$m_{c}$ =38g

α=change in temperature

$\alpha _{c}$ =(40-25)=15

$\alpha _{w}$ =(40-25)=15

$\alpha _{s}$ =(100-40)=60

Note: the temperature of the calorimeter is the temperature of it content.

From the equation, we can make $m_{s}$ the subject of formula

$m_{s}=\frac{m_{w}c_{w} \alpha +m_{c}c_{c}\alpha}{c_{w}\alpha +l}$

Hence

$m_{s}=\frac{(280*4.2*15) +(38*0.9*15)}{(4.2*60) +2268} \\m_{s}=\frac{18153}{2520}\\ m_{s}=7.2g$

Hence the amount of steam needed is 7.2g

An object is thrown with velocity v from the edge of a cliff above level ground. Neglect air resistance. In order for the object

musickatia [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The range of a projectile is given by R = v²sin2θ/g.

For maximum range, sin2θ = 1 ⇒ 2θ = sin⁻¹(1) = 90°

2θ = 90°

θ = 90°/2 = 45°

So the maximum horizontal distance R is in the range 0 < θ < 45°, if θ is the angle above the horizontal.

Two long, parallel wires separated by 3.50 cm carry currents in opposite directions. The current in one wire is 1.55 A, and the

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Therefore,

The magnitude of the force per unit length that one wire exerts on the other is

$\dfrac{F}{l}=2.79\times 10^{-5}\ N/m$

Explanation:

Given:

Two long, parallel wires separated by a distance,

d = 3.50 cm = 0.035 meter

Currents,

$I_{1}=1.55\ A\\I_{2}=3.15\ A$

To Find:

Magnitude of the force per unit length that one wire exerts on the other,

$\dfrac{F}{l}=?$

Solution:

Magnitude of the force per unit length on each of @ parallel wires seperated by the distance d and carrying currents I₁ and I₂ is given by,

$\dfrac{F}{l}=\dfrac{\mu_{0}\times I_{1}\times I_{2}}{2\pi\times d}$

where,

$\mu_{0}=permeability\ of\ free\ space =4\pi\times 10^{-7}$

Substituting the values we get

$\dfrac{F}{l}=\dfrac{4\pi\times 10^{-7}\times 1.55\times 3.15}{2\pi\times 0.035}$

$\dfrac{F}{l}=2.79\times 10^{-5}\ N/m$

Therefore,

The magnitude of the force per unit length that one wire exerts on the other is

$\dfrac{F}{l}=2.79\times 10^{-5}\ N/m$
