The latent heat of fusion of alcohol is 25 kcal/kg and its melting point is -114 o C. It has a specific heat of 0.60 in its liqu

id state. Calculate the energy needed to melt 2.0 kg of solid alcohol at -114 o C and raise it to a temperature of -14 o C.

Answer:

=170kcal

Explanation:

We first calculate the amount of energy required to melt the alcohol using the formula: MLf, where Lf is the latent heat of fussion

We then calculate amount of heat required to raise the temperature of liquid alcohol to -14° C using MC∅.  We then add the two.

Thus ΔH=MLf+MC∅

ΔH=2kg×25kcal/kg+ 2kg×(0.6kcal/kg.K×(-14-⁻114)

=50kcal+120kcal

=170kcal

Allen and Jason are chucking a speaker around. On one particular throw, Allen throws the speaker, which is playing a pure tone o
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply Doppler's effect of sound .

speaker is the source , Jason is the observer . Source is moving at 10 m /s , observer is moving at  6 m/s .

apparent frequency = f_o\times\frac{V+v_o}{ V-v_s}

V is velocity of sound , v₀ is velocity of observer and v_s is velocity of source and f_o is real frequency of source .

Here V = 340 m/s , v₀ is 6 m/s , v_s is 10 m/s . f_o = f

apparent frequency =  f\times \frac{340+6}{340-10}

= f\times \frac{346}{330}

So m = 346 , n = 330 .

What net force would be necessary to cause a block of wood with a mass of 2.5 kg to accelerate at a rate of 3.0 m/s2
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

<h2>7.5 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question

mass = 2.5 kg

acceleration = 3.0 m/s²

We have

force = 2.5 × 3.0 = 7.5

We have the final answer as

<h3>7.5 N</h3>

Hope this helps you

A 60 kg sprinter has a momentum of +600 kg-m/s when he crosses the finish
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

10 ms⁻¹

Explanation:

The amount of momentum that an object has is dependent upon two factors

  • mass of the moving object  
  • speed of motion

In terms of an equation,

Momentum (P) = Mass(m)×velocity(v)

                     P = m×v

                 600 = 60 × v ⇒ v = 10 ms⁻¹

A yellow train of mass 100 kg is moving at 8 m/s towards an orange train of mass 200 kg traveling on the opposite direction on t
vladimir1956 [14]
Mass of yellow train, my = 100 kg

Initial Velocity of yellow train, = 8 m/s

mass of orange train = 200 kg

Initial Velocity of orange train = -1 m/s (since it moves opposite direction to the yellow train, we will put negative to show the opposite direction)

To calculate the initial momentum of both trains, we will use the principle of conservation of momentum which

The sum of initial momentum = the sum of final momentum


Since the question only wants the sum of initial momentum,

(100)(8) + (200)(-1) = 600 m/s
