A child on a 2.4 kg scooter at rest throws a 2.2 kg ball. The ball is given a speed of 3.1 m/s and the child and scooter move in

the opposite directions at 0.45 m/s. Find the child's mass.

Answer:

The child's mass is 14.133 kg

Explanation:

From the principle of conservation of linear momentum, we have;

(m₁ + m₂) × v₁ + m₃ × v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)  × v₃ - m₃ × v₄

We include the negative sign as the velocities were given as moving in the opposite directions

Since the child and the ball are at rest, we have;

v₁ = 0 m/s and v₂= 0 m/s

Hence;

0 = m₁ × v₃ - m₂ × v₄

(m₁ + m₂)× v₃ = m₃ × v₄

Where:

m₁ = Mass of the child

m₂ = Mass of the scooter = 2.4 kg

v₃ = Final velocity of the child and scooter = 0.45 m/s

m₃ = Mass of the ball = 2.4 kg

v₄ = Final velocity of the ball = 3.1 m/s

Plugging the values gives;

(m₁ + 2.4)× 0.45 = 2.4 × 3.1

(m₁ + 2.4) = 16.533

∴ m₁ + 2.4 = 16.533

m₁ = 16.533 - 2.4 = 14.133 kg

The child's mass = 14.133 kg.

How long does it take for a 3.5 kW electric water heater to heat 40 kg of water? from 20 ° C to 75 ° C? The specific heat capaci
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

2633.7 s

Explanation:

From the question,

Heat lost by the water heater = Heat gained by the water

Applying,

P = cm(t₂-t₁)/t.................. Equation 1

Where P = power of the heat, c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, t₁ = initial temperature, t₂ = final temperature, t = time

make t the subject of the equation

t = cm(t₂-t₁)/P.............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: c = 4190 J/kgK, P = 3.5 kW = 3500 W, m = 40 kg, t₁ = 20°C, t₂ = 75°C

Substitute these values into equation 2

t = 4190×40(75-20)/3500

t = 9218000/3500

t = 2633.7 s

A tank is full of water. Find the work W required to pump the water out of the spout. (Use 9.8 m/s2 for g. Use 1000 kg/m3 as the
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

W = 1.06 MJ

Explanation:

- We will use differential calculus to solve this problem.

- Make a differential volume of water in the tank with thickness dx. We see as we traverse up or down the differential volume of water the side length is always constant, hence, its always 8.

- As for the width of the part w we see that it varies as we move up and down the differential element. We will draw a rectangle whose base axis is x and vertical axis is y. we will find the equation of the slant line that comes out to be y = 0.5*x. And the width spans towards both of the sides its going to be 2*y = x.

- Now develop and expression of Force required:

                                             F = p*V*g

                                             F = 1000*(2*0.5*x*8*dx)*g

                                             F = 78480*x*dx

- Now, the work done is given by:

                                             W = F.s

- Where, s is the distance from top of hose to the differential volume:

                                             s = (5 - x)

- We have the work as follows:

                                            dW = 78400*x*(5-x)dx

- Now integrate the following express from 0 to 3 till the tank is empty:

                                           W = 78400*(2.5*x^2 - (1/3)*x^3)

                                           W = 78400*(2.5*3^2 - (1/3)*3^3)

                                           W = 78400*13.5 = 1058400 J
