Do you think a hurricane can be considered to be a heat machine? Why?

Physics

Colt1911 [192]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

YES

Explanation:

When the surface water is warm, the storm sucks up heat energy from the water, just like a straw sucks up a liquid. This creates moisture in the air. If wind conditions are right, the storm becomes a hurricane. This heat energy is the fuel for the storm.  So therefore yes i do

When an exothermic reaction releases thermal energy, this energy is usually_____.
saw5 [17]

Explanation:

A chemical reaction in which heat or energy is released is known as an exothermic reaction.

On the other hand, when two objects are placed together and heat flows from hotter object to colder object then this process is known as conduction. Therefore, energy is dissipated in conduction process.

Since energy released released goes into the atmosphere and is not used anywhere.

Thus, we can conclude that when an exothermic reaction releases thermal energy, this energy is usually not useable to do work and it is dissipated by conduction.

What leads astronomers to believe that some large moons associated with the giant planets have compositions that are roughly hal
Sonja [21]
<span>Astronomers are able to determine facts about the composition of these moons by examining the nature of light that is reflected from their surfacy using a method called spectroscopy. This process works because different materials tend to reflect light at different wavelengths So, by observing at which wavelengths a planetary body reflects light, astronomers are able to estimate its composition.</span>

What happens to the amplitude of the resultant wave when two sound waves with equal amplitude constructively interfere?
Alik [6]

Answer:

For two waves of equal amplitude interfering constructively, the resulting amplitude is twice as large as the amplitude of an individual wave. For 100 waves of the same amplitude interfering constructively, the resulting amplitude is 100 times larger than the amplitude of an individual wave.

A disk of radius 25 cm spinning at a rate of 30 rpm slows to a stop over 3 seconds. What is the angular acceleration? B. How man
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:  

A. α = - 1.047 rad/s²  

B. θ = 14.1 rad  

C. θ = 2.24 rev  

Explanation:  

A.  

We can use the first equation of motion to find the acceleration:

\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t  

where,  

ωf = final angular speed = 0 rad/s  

ωi = initial angular speed = (30 rpm)(2π rad/1 rev)(1 min/60 s) = 3.14 rad/s  

t = time = 3 s  

α = angular acceleration = ?  

Therefore,

0\ rad/s = 3.14\ rad/s + \alpha(3\ s)  

<u>α = - 1.047 rad/s²</u>

B.  

We can use the second equation of motion to find the angular distance:

\theta = \omega_it +\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2\\\theta = (3.14\ rad/s)(3\ s) + \frac{1}{2}(1.04\ rad/s^2)(3)^2  

<u>θ = 14.1 rad</u>

C.  

θ = (14.1 rad)(1 rev/2π rad)  

<u>θ = 2.24 rev</u>

An unknown mass of each substance, initially at 25.0 ∘C, absorbs 1920 J of heat. The final temperature is recorded. Find the mas
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer: mass for Pyrex glass 84.21g

mass for sand 61.6g

mass for ethanol 41.32g

mass for water 62.07g

Explanation

By definition specific heat is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of 1 kg mas by 1°C

Q=mcΔT is formula for specific heat

Q is heat transfer

m is mass

ΔT is change in temperature

c   is specific heat

c of Pyrex glass= 0.75 j/g°C

c of sand = 0.84 j/g°C

c of ethanol= 2.42 j/g°C

c of water = 4.18 j/g°C

now we will make M(mass) the subject, so equation becomes

m=Q/cΔT

for

pyrex glass T<em>f=</em>55.4°C

m=1920/(55.4-25)*0.75

m=84.21g {after cutting J(joules) and °C we are left with g(grams)}

for

sand T<em>f</em>=62.1°C

m=1920/(62.1-25)*0.84

m=61.6g {after cutting J(joules) and °C we are left with g(grams)}

for

ethanol T<em>f</em>=44.2°C

m=1920/(44.2-25)*2.42

m=41.32g  {after cutting J(joules) and °C we are left with g(grams)}

for

water T<em>f=</em>32.4°

m=1920/(32.4-25)*4.18

m=62.07g  {after cutting J(joules) and °C we are left with g(grams)}

i hope you understand the solution, thank you.
