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

What is the difference between tangential acceleration and centripetal acceleration?
Nuetrik [128]

Centripetal acceleration is directed along a radius so it may also be called the radial acceleration. If the speed is not constant, then there is also a tangential acceleration (at). The tangential acceleration is, indeed, tangent to the path of the particle's motion.

A stone is thrown horizontally at 60.0 m/sm/s from the top of a very tall cliff. Calculate its horizontal position and vertical
svp [43]

Answer:

X-Positions:                                         Y-Positions

x(0) = 0                                                   y(0) = 0

x(2) = 120 m                                           y(2) = 19.6 m

x(4) = 240 m                                          y(4) = 78.4 m

x(6) = 360 m                                          y(6) = 176.4 m

x(8) = 480 m                                          y(8) = 313 m

x(10) = 600m                                         y (10) = 490 m

Explanation:

X-Positions

  • First, we choose to take the horizontal direction as our x-axis, and the positive x-axis as positive.
  • After being thrown, in the horizontal direction, no external influence acts on the stone, so it will continue in the same direction at the same initial speed of 60. 0 m/s
  • So, in order to know the horizontal position at any time t, we can apply the definition of average velocity, rearranging terms, as follows:

       x = v_{ox} * t = 60.0 m/s * t(s)

  • It can be seen that after 2 s, the displacement will be 120 m, and each 2 seconds, as the speed is constant, the displacement will increase in the same 120 m each time.

Y-Positions

  • We choose to take the vertical direction as our y-axis, taking the downward direction as our positive axis.
  • As both axes are  perpendicular each other, both movements are independent each other also, so, in the vertical direction, the stone starts from rest.
  • At any moment, it is subject to the acceleration of gravity, g.
  • As the acceleration is constant, we can find the vertical displacement (taking the  height of the cliff as the initial reference level), using the following kinematic equation:

       y = \frac{1}{2} * g* t^{2} = \frac{1}{2} * 9.8 m/s2 * t(s)^{2}

  • Replacing by the values of t, we get the following vertical positions, from the height of the cliff as y = 0:
  • y(2) = 2* 9.8 m/s2 = 19.6 m
  • y(4) = 8* 9.8 m/s2 = 78.4 m
  • y(6) = 18*9.8 m/s2 = 176.4 m
  • y(8) = 32*9.8 m/s2 = 313.6 m
  • y(10)= 50 * 9.8 m/s2 = 490.0 m

3. Consider a locomotive and the rest of a freight train to be a single object. Suppose the locomotive is pulling the train up a
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Action - Pulling up the train.

Reaction - Friction on the locomotive

Explanation:

Locomotive is pulling the train upwards ,

Which is the action force applied by the locomotive,

As a reaction locomotive will be pulled by the train which is the reaction of pulling

Now, considering it as a action on locomotive , friction force will act on it as a reaction upwards which will result to move it upwards.

For train action is pulling up by locomotive and reaction will be friction acting on it downwards.
