On a hot summer day, 3.50 ✕ 106 J of heat transfer into a parked car takes place, increasing its temperature from 36.5°C to 44.4

anygoal [31]

Answer:

a) $\Delta s=443037.9747\ J.K^{-1}$

b) $\Delta s=31868131.8681\ J.K^{-1}$

Explanation:

a)

Given:

amount of heat transfer occurred, $dQ=3.5\times 10^6\ J$

initial temperature of car, $T_i=36.5+273=309.5\ K$

final temperature of car, $T_f=44.4+273=317.4\ K$

We know that the change in entropy is given by:

$\Delta s=\frac{dQ}{T_f-T_i}$

$\Delta s=\frac{3.5\times 10^6}{(44.4-36.5)}$ (heat is transferred into the system of car)

$\Delta s=443037.9747\ J.K^{-1}$

b)

amount of heat transfer form the system of house, $dQ=5.8\times 10^8\ J$

initial temperature of house, $T_i=23.5+273=296.5\ K$

final temperature of house, $T_f=5.3+273=278.3\ K$

$\Delta s=\frac{dQ}{T_f-T_i}$

$\Delta s=\frac{5.8\times 10^8}{278.3-296.5}$

$\Delta s=31868131.8681\ J.K^{-1}$

Tyson throws a shot put ball weighing 7.26 kg. At a height of 2.1 m above the ground, the mechanical energy of the ball is 172.1

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

2.5 m/s

Explanation:

Mechanical energy is the sum of the potential and kinetic energy.

E = PE + KE

E = mgh + ½mv²

172.1 J = (7.26 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (2.1 m) + ½ (7.26 kg) v²

v = 2.5 m/s

A ball is thrown vertically upward, which is the positive direction. A little later, it returns to its point of release. The bal

Aleks [24]

Answer:

The initial velocity of the ball is 39.2 m/s in the upward direction.

Explanation:

Given:

Upward direction is positive. So, downward direction is negative.

Tota time the ball remains in air (t) = 8.0 s

Net displacement of the ball (S) = Final position - Initial position = 0 m

Acceleration of the ball is due to gravity. So, $a=g=-9.8\ m/s^2$ (Acting down)

Now, let the initial velocity be 'u' m/s.

From Newton's equation of motion, we have:

$S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

Plug in the given values and solve for 'u'. This gives,

$0=8u-0.5\times 9.8\times 8^2\\\\8u=4.9\times 64\\\\u=\frac{4.9\times 64}{8}\\\\u=4.9\times 8=39.2\ m/s$

Therefore, the initial velocity of the ball is 39.2 m/s in the upward direction.
