Answer:

0.7 m/s

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Distance travalled (d) = 190 m

Time (t) = 260 secs

Speed (S) =..?

Speed is simply defined as the distance travelled per unit time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Speed = Distance (d) /time(t)

S = d/t

With the above formula, we can calculate the speed of the security guard as follow:

Distance travalled (d) = 190 m

Time (t) = 260 secs

Speed (S) =..?

S = d/t

S = 190/260

S = 0.7 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the security guard is 0.7 m/s

Gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s2, and gravity on Mars is 3.7 m/s2.
antiseptic1488 [7]
W = mg

Weight on Earth = 50 x 9.8
                          = 490 N

Weight on Mars = 50 x 3.7
                          = 185 N

MATHPHYS CAN U HELP ME PLEASE
ludmilkaskok [199]

Explanation:

(1) The heat added to warm the ice to 0°C is:

q = mCΔT = (0.041 kg) (2090 J/kg/°C) (0°C − (-11°C)) = 942.59 J

The heat added to melt the ice is:

q = mL = (0.041 kg) (3.33×10⁵ J/kg) = 13,653 J

The heat added to warm the water to 100°C is:

q = mCΔT = (0.041 kg) (4186 J/kg/°C) (100°C − 0°C) = 17,162.6 J

The heat added to evaporate the water is:

q = mL = (0.041 kg) (2.26×10⁶ J/kg) = 92,660 J

The heat added to warm the steam to 115°C is:

q = mCΔT = (0.041 kg) (2010 J/kg/°C) (115°C − 100°C) = 1236.15 J

The total heat needed is:

q = 942.59 J + 13,653 J + 17,162.6 J + 92,660 J + 1236.15 J

q = 125,654.34 J

(2) When the first two are mixed:

m C₁ (T₁ − T) + m C₂ (T₂ − T) = 0

C₁ (T₁ − T) + C₂ (T₂ − T) = 0

C₁ (6 − 11) + C₂ (25 − 11) = 0

-5 C₁ + 14 C₂ = 0

C₁ = 2.8 C₂

When the second and third are mixed:

m C₂ (T₂ − T) + m C₃ (T₃ − T) = 0

C₂ (T₂ − T) + C₃ (T₃ − T) = 0

C₂ (25 − 33) + C₃ (37 − 33) = 0

-8 C₂ + 4 C₃ = 0

C₂ = 0.5 C₃

Substituting:

C₁ = 2.8 (0.5 C₃)

C₁ = 1.4 C₃

When the first and third are mixed:

m C₁ (T₁ − T) + m C₃ (T₃ − T) = 0

C₁ (T₁ − T) + C₃ (T₃ − T) = 0

(1.4 C₃) (6 − T) + C₃ (37 − T) = 0

(1.4) (6 − T) + 37 − T = 0

8.4 − 1.4T + 37 − T = 0

2.4T = 45.4

T = 18.9°C

(3) Heat gained by the ice = heat lost by the tea

mL + mCΔT = -mCΔT

m (3.33×10⁵ J/kg) + m (2090 J/kg/°C) (30.8°C − 0°C) = -(0.176 kg) (4186 J/kg/°C) (30.8°C − 32.8°C)

m (397372 J/kg) = 1473.472 J

m = 0.004 kg

m = 4 g

4 grams of ice is melted and warmed to the final temperature, which leaves 128 grams unmelted.

(4) The heat added to warm the ice to 0°C is:

q = mCΔT = (0.028 kg) (2090 J/kg/°C) (0°C − (-67°C)) = 3920.84 J

The heat added to melt the ice is:

q = mL = (0.028 kg) (3.33×10⁵ J/kg) = 9324 J

The heat added to warm the melted ice to T is:

q = mCΔT = (0.028 kg) (4186 J/kg/°C) (T − 0°C) = (117.208 J/°C) T

The heat removed to cool the water to T is:

q = -mCΔT = -(0.505 kg) (4186 J/kg/°C) (T − 27°C)

q = (2113.93 J/°C) (27°C − T) = 57076.11 J − (2113.93 J/°C) T

The heat removed to cool the copper to T is:

q = -mCΔT = -(0.092 kg) (387 J/kg/°C) (T − 27°C)

q = (35.604 J/°C) (27°C − T) = 961.308 J − (35.604 J/°C) T

Therefore:

3920.84 J + 9324 J + (117.208 J/°C) T = 57076.11 J − (2113.93 J/°C) T + 961.308 J − (35.604 J/°C) T

13244.84 J + (117.208 J/°C) T = 58037.418 J − (2149.534 J/°C) T

(2266.742 J/°C) T = 44792.58 J

T = 19.8°C

(5) Kinetic energy of the hammer = heat absorbed by ice

KE = q

½ mv² = mL

½ (0.8 kg) (0.9 m/s)² = m (80 cal/g × 4.186 J/cal × 1000 g/kg)

m = 9.68×10⁻⁷ kg

m = 9.68×10⁻⁴ g

(6) Heat rate = thermal conductivity × area × temperature difference / thickness

q' = kAΔT / t

q' = (1.09 W/m/°C) (4.5 m × 9 m) (10°C − 4°C) / (0.09 m)

q' = 2943 W

After 10.7 hours, the amount of heat transferred is:

q = (2943 J/s) (10.7 h × 3600 s/h)

q = 1.13×10⁸ J

q = 113 MJ
