What mass of water must fall 12m in order to lose 10,800J of gravitational potential energy ?

Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)

10,800J = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²) x (12m)

Mass = (10,800J) / (9.8 m/s² x 12m)

Mass = (10,800 / 9.8 x 12) (Joule-sec²/m²)

(Units:  Joule-sec²/m² = N-m-sec²/m² = (kg-m/s²)-m-sec²/m² = <u><em>kg </em></u>)

<u>Mass = 91.8 kg</u>

You're driving in a car at 50 km/h and bump into a car ahead traveling at 48 km/h in the same direction. the speed of impact is
salantis [7]

To solve this problem, we must remember about the law of conservation of momentum. The initial momentum mist be equal to the final momentum, that is:

m1 v1 + m2 v2 = (m1 + m2) v’

where v’ is the speed of impact

Since we are not given the masses of each car m1 and m2, so let us assume that they are equal, such that:

m1 = m2 = m

Which makes the equation:

m v1 + m v2 = (2 m) v’

Cancelling m and substituting the v values:

50 + 48 = 2 v’

2 v’ = 98

v ‘ = 49 km/h

 

<span>The speed of impact is 49 km/h.</span>

Which condition is necessary for total internal reflection? A. The refracted ray should lie along the boundary of the two media.
g100num [7]

There are two conditions necessary for total internal reflection, which is when light hits the boundary between two mediums and reflects back into its original medium:

Light is about to pass from a more optically dense medium (slower) to a less optically dense medium (faster).

The angle of incidence is greater than the defined critical angle for the two mediums, which is given by:

θ = sin⁻¹(n_{fast}/n_{slow})

Where θ = critical angle, n_{fast} = refractive index of faster medium, n_{slow} = refractive index of slower medium.

Choice C gives one of the above necessary conditions.

Suppose that 4.4 moles of a monatomic ideal gas (atomic mass = 7.9 × 10-27 kg) are heated from 300 K to 500 K at a constant volu
timurjin [86]

Answer:

1) ΔQ₁ = 10.97 x 10³ J = 10.97 KJ

2) W₁ = 0 J

3) P = 41.66 x 10³ Pa = 41.66 KPa

4) v = 1618.72 m/s

5) ΔQ₂ = - 18.29 x 10³ J = - 18.29 KJ

6) W₂ = - 7.33 KJ

Explanation:

1)

The heat transfer for a constant volume process is given by the formula:

ΔQ₁ = ΔU = n Cv ΔT

where,

ΔQ₁ = Heat transfer during constant volume process

ΔU = Change in internal energy of gas

n = No. of moles = 4.4 mol

Cv = Molar Specific Heat at Constant Volume = 12.47 J/mol.k

ΔT = Change in Temperature = T₂ - T₁ = 500 k - 300 k = 200 k

Therefore,

ΔQ₁ = (4.4 mol)(12.47 J/mol.k)(200 k)

<u>ΔQ₁ = 10.97 x 10³ J = 10.97 KJ</u>

<u></u>

2)

Since, work done by gas is given as:

W₁ = PΔV

where,

ΔV = 0, due to constant volume

Therefore,

<u>W₁ = 0 J</u>

<u></u>

4)

The average kinetic energy of a gas molecule is given as:

K.E = (3/2)KT

but, K.E is also given by:

K.E = (1/2)mv²

Comparing both equations:

(1/2)mv² = (3/2)KT

mv² = 3KT

v = √(3KT/m)

where,

v = average speed of gas molecue = ?

K = Boltzman Constant = 1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/k

T = Absolute Temperature = 500 K

m = mass of a molecule = 7.9 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

Therefore,

v = √[(3)(1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/k)(500 k)/(7.9 x 10⁻²⁷ kg)]

<u>v = 1618.72 m/s</u>

<u></u>

3)

From kinetic molecular theory, we know that or an ideal gas:

P = (1/3)ρv²

where,

P = pressure of gas = ?

m = Mass of Gas = (Atomic Mass)(No. of Atoms)

m = (Atomic Mass)(Avogadro's Number)(No. of Moles)

m = (7.9 x 10⁻²⁷ kg/atom)(6.022 x 10²³ atoms/mol)(4.4 mol)

m = 0.021 kg

ρ = density = mass/volume = 0.021 kg/0.44 m³ = 0.0477 kg/m³

Therefore,

P = (1/3)(0.0477 kg/m³)(1618.72 m/s)²

<u>P = 41.66 x 10³ Pa = 41.66 KPa</u>

<u></u>

5)

The heat transfer for a constant pressure process is given by the formula:

ΔQ₂ =  n Cp ΔT

where,

ΔQ₂ = Heat transfer during constant pressure process

n = No. of moles = 4.4 mol

Cp = Molar Specific Heat at Constant Pressure = 20.79 J/mol.k

ΔT = Change in Temperature = T₂ - T₁ = 300 k - 500 k = -200 k

Therefore,

ΔQ₂ = (4.4 mol)(20.79 J/mol.k)(-200 k)

<u>ΔQ₂ = - 18.29 x 10³ J = - 18.29 KJ</u>

<u>Negative sign shows heat flows from system to surrounding.</u>

<u></u>

6)

From Charles' Law, we know that:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₂ = (V₁)(T₂)/(T₁)

where,

V₁ = 0.44 m³

V₂ = ?

T₁ = 500 K

T₂ = 300 k

Therefore,

V₂ = (0.44 m³)(300 k)/(500 k)

V₂ = 0.264 m³

Therefore,

ΔV = V₂ - V₁ = 0.264 m³ - 0.44 m³ = - 0.176 m³

Hence, the work done , will be:

W₂ = PΔV = (41.66 KPa)(- 0.176 m³)

<u>W₂ = - 7.33 KJ</u>

<u>Negative sign shows that the work is done by the gas</u>
