Answer:
average for silk =141"
average for cotton =96"
average for nylon = 70"
if you desire a slower falling parachute to protect the body from damage,
silk is the best
if you desire a faster falling parachute to escape enemy bullets,
nylon is the best

Homework 1
Problem Solving
1. Kelvin and Xavier were doing an investigation on parachutes. One of them suggested that the type of material the parachute was made from had an effect on how long it took to reach the ground. Their results are given in
the table below.
(a) Calculate the average time in seconds for each material.
Time taken for parachute to reach the ground (seconds)
MATERIAL
1st TRY
2nd TRY
3rd TRY
AVERAGE
Sik
144
140 average of 3 = 141
139
Cotton
98
96 average of 3 = 96
94
Nylon
72
68 average of 3 = 70
70
I think it’s C but I’m not sure
Following are important constant that used in present calculations
Heat of fusion of H2O = 334 J/g
<span>Heat of vaporization of H2O = 2257 J/g </span>
<span>Heat capacity of H2O = 4.18 J/gK
</span>
Now, energy required for melting of ICE = <span> 334 X 5.25 = 1753.5 J .......(1)
Energy required for raising </span><span>the temperature water from 0 oC to 100 oC = 4.18 X 5.25 X 100 = 2195.18 J .............. (2)
</span>Lastly, energy required for boiling water = <span> 2257X 5.25 = 11849.25 J ......(3)
</span><span>
Thus, total heat energy required for entire process = (1) + (2) + (3)
= 1753.5 + 2195.18 + 11849.25
= </span><span>15797.93 J
</span><span> = 15.8 kJ
</span><span>Thus, 15797.93 J of energy is needed to boil 5.25 grams of ice.</span>
Answer:
H2 > N2 > Ar > CO2
Explanation:
Graham's law explains why some gases efuse faster than others. This is due to the difference i their molar mass. Generally; The rate of effusion of gaseous substances is inversely proportional to the square rot of its molar mass.
This means gases with low molar masses would have higher efusion rate compared to gases with higher molar masses.
So now we just need to compare the molar masses of the various gases;
Ar - 39.95
CO2 - 44.01
H2 - 2
N2 - 28.01
To obtain the order in increasing rate, we have to order the gases in decreasing molar mass. This order of increasing rate is given as;
H2 > N2 > Ar > CO2
To test if the hypothesis is correct, a good way is to think of it this way:
Density = mass/volume, right?
Calculate the mass and volume of each and do the equation; this will test your hypothesis.
You will be left with the density of each. But, make sure that the sample sizes are the same (controlled variable) otherwise it will be an unfair test.
