Answer:

The energy required is 12.887KJ

Explanation:

There are two separate heat inputs involved in this problem:

q₁ = heat added to vaporize the methane at 109.1 K
q₂ = energy added to heat the vapor from 109.1 K to 185.3 K

q = q₁ +q₂

q = nΔH + mCΔT

where;

n is number of moles of methane

ΔH is the molar enthalpy of vaporization of methane =8.17 kJ/mol

m is the mass of methane = 19g

C is the specific heat capacity of gaseous methane = 2.20 J/g.K

ΔT = T₂ - T₁ = 185.3 - 109.1 = 76.2 K

n = Reacting mass/Molar mass

molar mass of methane (CH₄) = 16g/mol

n = 19/16 = 1.1875 mol

⇒q₁ = nΔH = 1.1875 X 8.17 = 9.702 kJ

⇒q₂ = mCΔT, = 19 X 2.2 X 76.2 = 3185.16 J = 3.18516KJ

q = q₁ +q₂, ⇒ 9.702 kJ + 3.18516KJ = 12.887KJ

Therefore, the energy required is 12.887KJ

In a jump spike, a volleyball player slams the ball from overhead and toward the opposite floor. Controlling the angle of the sp

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The ball would have landed 3.31m farther if the downward angle were 6.0° instead.

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must first start by doing a drawing that will represent the situation. (See picture attached).

We can see in the picture that the least the angle the farther the ball will go. So we need to find the A and B position to determine how farther the second shot would go. Let's start with point A.

So, first we need to determine the components of the velocity of the ball, like this:

$V_{Ax}=V_{A}cos\theta$

$V_{Ax}=(21m/s)cos(-14^{o})$

$V_{Ax}=20.38 m/s$

$V_{Ay}=V_{A}sin\theta$

$V_{Ay}=(21m/s)sin(-14^{o})$

$V_{Ay}=-5.08 m/s$

we pick the positive one, so it takes 0.317s for the ball to hit on point A.

so now we can find the distance from the net to point A with this time. We can find it like this:

$x_{A}=V_{Ax}t$

$x_{A}=(20.38m/s)(0.317s)$

$x_{A}=6.46m$

Once we found the distance between the net and point A, we can similarly find the distance between the net and point B:

$V_{Bx}=20.88 m/s$

$V_{By}=-2.195 m/s$

$y_{Bf}=y_{B0}+V_{0}t-\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$

$0=2.1m+(-2.195m/s)t-\frac{1}{2}(-9.8m/s^{2})t^{2}$

$-4.9t^{2}-2.195t+2.1=0$

$t=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

$t=\frac{-(-2.195)\pm\sqrt{(-2.195)^{2}-4(-4.9)(2.1)}}{2(-4.9)}$

t= -0.9159s or t=0.468s

we pick the positive one, so it takes 0.468s for the ball to hit on point B.

so now we can find the distance from the net to point B with this time. We can find it like this:

$x_{B}=V_{Bx}t$

$x_{B}=(20.88m/s)(0.468s)$

$x_{B}=9.77m$

So once we got the two distances we can now find the difference between them:

$x_{B}-x_{A}=9.77m-6.46m=3.31m$

so the ball would have landed 3.31m farther if the downward angle were 6.0° instead.
