Indigenous people sometimes cooked in watertight baskets by placing enough hot rocks into the water to bring it to a boil. What

mass of 500°C rock must be placed in 4.24 kg of 29°C water to bring its temperature to 100°C, if 0.0440 kg of water escapes as vapor from the initial sizzle?
You may neglect the effects of the surroundings and take the average specific heat of the rocks to be that of granite, which is 0.20 kcal/(kg * °C).
The specific heat of water is 1.00 kcal/(kg * °C) and the latent heat of vaporization is 539 kcal/kg.

Answer:

The rock has a mass of 4.02 kg

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

Mass of the rock = TO BE DETERMINED

Temperature of the rock = 500 °C

Mass of the water  =4.24 kg

⇒ loses 0.044kg as vapor

Initial temperature of the water = 29°C

Final temperature = 100°C

Specific heat of rock = 0.20 kcal/kg °C

Specific heat of water = 1kcal/kg°C

Latent heat of vaporization = 539 kcal/kg

<u>Step 2:</u> formules

Qlost,rock + Qgained,water = 0

Qtotal,water = Qwater +Qvapor

<u>Step 3: </u>Calculate Qvapor

Qvapor = mass of vapor * Latent heat of vapor

Qvapor = 0.044kg * 539 kcal/kg = 23.716 kcal

<u>Step 4: </u>Calculate Qwater

Qwater = mass of water * specific heat * Δtemperature

Qwater = 4.196 kg * 1kcal/kg°C *( 100-29)

Qwater = 297.916 kcal

<u>Step 5:</u> Calculate Qwater,total

Qwater,total = Qwater + Qvapor

Qwater,total = 23.716 kcal + 297.916 = 321.632 kcal

<u>Step 6</u>: Calculate Qrock

Qrock = mass of rock * specific heat rock * Δtemperature

Qrock = mass of rock * 0.20 kcal/kg°C * (100-500)

Qrock = mass of rock * -80 kcal/kg

<u>Step 7:</u> Calculate mass of rock

Qlost,rock + Qgained,water = 0

Qlost,rock = -Qgained,water

mass of rock * -80 kcal/kg = -321.632 kcal

mass of rock = 4.02 kg

The rock has a mass of 4.02 kg

A man pulls a sled at a constant velocity across a horizontal snow surface. if a force of 80 n is being applied to the sled rope
balandron [24]
A constant velocity implies the two forces must be equal and opposite.
Friction acts horizontal to the ground, therefore we must find the force applied to the sled rope that acts horizontal to the ground.
Do this by resolving:
Force = 80cos53
The force opposing this is equal, and so also = 80cos53 = 48 N (2 sig. fig.)

How fast does water flow from a hole at the bottom of a very wide, 7.1 mm deep storage tank filled with water
trapecia [35]

Answer:

<h2>The water will move faster</h2>

Explanation:

This happens as part of the consequences of the continuity of an incompressible fluid, of which water is an example.

so as the water emerges from the wider section the flow velocity increases and vice versa.

Hence the flow velocity in indirectly proportional to the area

The continuity equation is given below for our analysis

A1V1=A2V2\\-------------------1

where

            A1= the area of the wider section of the tank

            V1= the flow velocity from the wider section

            A2= the area of the hole at the bottom

            V2= velocity of flow at the bottom.
