A thermos as another name - it's called the vacuum flask. It's used for storing cryogens when it has certain boiling points that are much lower than the actual room temperature. Many people use thermoses as a cup for drinking, specifically coffee, teas, and other hot drinks.

A 4.87-kg ball of clay is thrown downward from a height of 3.21 m with a speed of 5.21 m/s onto a spring with k = 1570 N/m. The

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Approximately $0.560\; {\rm m}$ , assuming that:

the height of $3.21\; {\rm m}$ refers to the distance between the clay and the top of the uncompressed spring.
air resistance on the clay sphere is negligible,
the gravitational field strength is $g = 9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}$ , and
the clay sphere did not deform.

Explanation:

Notations:

Let $k$ denote the spring constant of the spring.
Let $m$ denote the mass of the clay sphere.
Let $v$ denote the initial speed of the spring.
Let $g$ denote the gravitational field strength.
Let $h$ denote the initial vertical distance between the clay and the top of the uncompressed spring.

Let $x$ denote the maximum compression of the spring- the only unknown quantity in this question.

After being compressed by a displacement of $x$ , the elastic potential energy $\text{PE}_{\text{spring}}$ in this spring would be:

$\displaystyle \text{PE}_{\text{spring}} = \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2}$ .

The initial kinetic energy $\text{KE}$ of the clay sphere was:

$\displaystyle \text{KE} = \frac{1}{2}\, m \, v^{2}$ .

When the spring is at the maximum compression:

The clay sphere would be right on top of the spring.
The top of the spring would be below the original position (when the spring was uncompressed) by $x$ .
The initial position of the clay sphere, however, is above the original position of the top of the spring by $h = 3.21\; {\rm m}$ .

Thus, the initial position of the clay sphere ( $h = 3.21\; {\rm m}$ above the top of the uncompressed spring) would be above the max-compression position of the clay sphere by $(h + x)$ .

The gravitational potential energy involved would be:

$\text{GPE} = m\, g\, (h + x)$ .

No mechanical energy would be lost under the assumptions listed above. Thus:

$\text{PE}_\text{spring} = \text{KE} + \text{GPE}$ .

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\, m\, v^{2} + m\, g\, (h + x)$ .

Rearrange this equation to obtain a quadratic equation about the only unknown, $x$ :

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2} - m\, g\, x - \left[\left(\frac{1}{2}\, m\, v^{2}\right)+ (m\, g\, h)\right] = 0$ .

Substitute in $k = 1570\; {\rm N \cdot m^{-1}}$ , $m = 4.87\; {\rm kg}$ , $v = 5.21\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ , $g = 9.81\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-2}}$ , and $h = 3.21\; {\rm m}$ . Let the unit of $x$ be meters.

$785\, x^{2} - 47.775\, x - 219.453 \approx 0$ (Rounded. The unit of both sides of this equation is joules.)

Solve using the quadratic formula given that $x \ge 0$ :

$\begin{aligned}x &\approx \frac{-(-47.775) + \sqrt{(-47.775)^{2} - 4 \times 785 \times (-219.453)}}{2 \times 785} \\ &\approx 0.560\; {\rm m}\end{aligned}$ .

(The other root is negative and is thus invalid.)

Hence, the maximum compression of this spring would be approximately $0.560\; {\rm m}$ .

Can the boiling point of water exceed 100c

lisabon 2012 [21]

Superheated water is liquid water under pressure at temperatures between the usual boiling point, 100c (212 F ) and the critical temperature , 374 C (705F) . It is also known as “subcritical water”
Or “pressurized hot water”.

200-grams of computer chips with a specific heat of 0.3 kJ/kg·K are initially at 25°C. These chips are cooled by placement in 0.

balu736 [363]

Answer:

a. -0.01324 kJ/K, b. = 0.03233 kJ/K , c. = 0.01909, Yes the process is possible

Explanation:

Heat transfer will occur between the chip and the surrounding fluid. Then, finally they will attain a common equilibrium temperature and heat transfer will stop. Now, if we assume that, after heat transfer, chip will attain the temperature of fluid, that is, -34 C,, So , to check whether this is possible

Amount of energy lost by the chip = m . c . (T(i) - T(f))

= 0.2 x 0.3 (25 + 34) = 3.54 KJ

Now, to evaluate the final state of the fluid, after the heat transfer completion,

Energy Gained = m(mew final – mew initial) = m[(μf+ x . μfg) - μf]

Note that heat transfer will change the internal energy of the fluid. Do not consider enthalpy change, as this is not a problem involving fluid flow in and out of the system

M[(μf+ x . μfg) - μf] = m(xμfg)

Energy gained by the fluid will be equal to the energy lost by the chip (No energy loss to the surroundings)

3.54 = 0.1 . X x 203.29

x = 0.1741, which is the dryness fraction of fluid at the final state.

Observe that the total energy lost by the chips is 3.45 kJ and fluid R-134a has got its value of mew fg at -34 C which is = 203.29 kJ/kg

So for 0.1kg of R-134a

0.1 x μfg= 20.329 kJ, which is much greater than 3.45 kJ, therefore, it is certain that the state of fluid will be at -34 C only and at the saturation pressure of 69.56 KPa. So the chip will come to attain the temperature of -34 C.

a. Write the equation for the change of entropy in the chips

ΔSchips = mchips . c . ln(T2/T1), where mc is the mass of chips, c is the specific heat of chips, T2 is the temperature at state 2 and T1 is the temperature at state 1

Substitute mc = 0.2 kg, c = 0.3kJ/kg.K, T1 = 25 + 273, T2 = -34 + 273

delSchips = 0.2 x 0.3 x ln [(-34+273)/ (25+273)]

= -0.01324 kJ/K

There fore the change in entropy of the chips is -0.01324 kJ/K

b. Entropy change of fluid R- 134a

ΔS2 = m[Sfinal – S initial]

= m[Sf + x . Sfg - Sf]

= 0.2 x (0.1741 x 0.92859)

= 0.03233 kJ/K

c. Calculate the total change in the entropy of the entire system

delS = delSchips + delSR -134a

= -0.01324 + 0.03233

= 0.01909

Since the total change in entropy of the entire system is positive that exactly explains that the actual processes are happening in the direction of increase of entropy therefore, the process is possible.
