Superman throws a boulder of weight 3800 n at an adversary on the surface of the earth, where the magnitude of the acceleration

due to gravity, g = 9.80 m/s2 . what horizontal force must superman apply to the boulder to give it a horizontal acceleration of 12.8 m/s2 ?

The weight of the boulder is 3800 N, therefore its mass i s
3800/9.8 = 387.755 kg

If the horizontal acceleration is 12.8 m/s², then the horizontal force applied is
F = (387.755 kg)*(12.8 m/s²) = 4.963 x 10³ n = 4.963 kN

Answer: 4.963 kN

Why is pure oxygen stored as a liquid under pressure
yKpoI14uk [10]
<h2>Answer: It is highly flammable.</h2>

Explanation:

Liquid oxygen is created from oxygen atoms that have been forced to assume the liquid state due to <u>compression (change of pressure) and temperature modification. </u>

Specifically this is achieved by cooling the oxygen enough to change it to its liquid state. So,<u> as the temperature drops, the atoms move more slowly because they have less energy. </u>

In this sense, in the liquid state it is easier to store and mobilize oxygen, taking into account that it is a highly flammable gas.

An ordinary egg can be approximated as a 5.5-cm diameter sphere. The egg is initially at a uniform temperature of 8°C and is dro
kupik [55]

Answer:

a) Q_{in} = 13.742\,kW, b) \Delta S = 370.15\,\frac{kJ}{K}

Explanation:

a) The heat transfered to the egg is computed by the First Law of Thermodynamics:

Q_{in} +U_{sys,1} - U_{sys,2} = 0

Q_{in} = U_{sys,2} - U_{sys,1}

Q_{in} = \rho_{egg}\cdot \left(\frac{4\pi}{3}\cdot r^{3}\right)\cdot c \cdot (T_{2}-T_{1})

Q_{in} = \left(1020\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{4\pi}{3}\right)\cdot (0.025\,m)^{3}\cdot \left(3.32\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} \right)\cdot (70\,^{\textdegree}C - 8\,^{\textdegree}C)

Q_{in} = 13.742\,kW

b) The amount of entropy generation is determined by the Second Law of Thermodynamics:

\Delta S = \frac{Q_{in}}{T_{in}}

\Delta S = \frac{13.742\,kJ}{370.15\,K}

\Delta S = 370.15\,\frac{kJ}{K}
