Jason and Guy are throwing watermelons straight up from the ground. (They’re making fruit salad.) Jason throws his watermelon at

speed v and it spends time t in the air before smashing into the ground. Not to be outdone, Guy then throws his watermelon at speed 2v. How long is Guy’s watermelon in the air before it smashes back into the ground?

Answer:2t

Explanation:

Given

Jason throwing watermelon at speed v and it spend t time in air

time to reach max height

v_f=u_i+at'

0=v-gt'

t'=\frac{v}{g}

and time to reach bottom is also t'

t=2t'

t=2\frac{v}{g}

For guy throws his watermelon at speed 2v

So total time in air will be

t''=2\frac{2v}{g}

t''=4\frac{v}{g}

t''=2t

the system shown above is released from rest. if friction is negligible, the acceleration of the 4.0 kg block sliding on the tab
JulsSmile [24]

The acceleration of the first block (4 kg) is -9.8 m/s².

The given parameters:

  • <em>Mass of the first block, m₁ = 4.0 kg</em>
  • <em>Mass of the second block, m₂ = 2.0 kg</em>

The net force on the system of the two blocks is calculated as follows;

m_2 g - T = m_1 a

where;

  • <em>T </em><em>is the tension in the connecting string due weight of the first block</em>

m_2 g - m_1 g = m_1 a\\\\a = \frac{m_2 g - m_1g}{m_1} \\\\a = \frac{g(m_2 - m_1)}{m_1} \\\\a = \frac{9.8(2-4)}{2} \\\\a = -9.8 \ m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration of the first block (4 kg) is -9.8 m/s².

An open container holds ice of mass 0.555 kg at a temperature of -16.6 ∘C . The mass of the container can be ignored. Heat is su
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer: A. 23.59 minutes.

              B. 249.65 minutes

Explanation: This question involves the concept of Latent Heat and specific heat capacities of water in solid phase.

<em>Latent heat </em><em>of fusion </em>is the total amount of heat rejected from the unit mass of water at 0 degree Celsius to convert completely into ice of 0 degree Celsius (and the heat required for vice-versa process).

<em>Specific heat capacity</em> of a substance is the amount of heat required by the unit mass of a substance to raise its temperature by 1 kelvin.

Here, <u>given that</u>:

  • mass of ice, m= 0.555 kg
  • temperature of ice, T= -16.6°C
  • rate of heat transfer, q=820 J.min^{-1}
  • specific heat of ice, c_{i}= 2100 J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}
  • latent heat of fusion of ice, L_{i}=334\times10^{3}J.kg^{-1}

<u>Asked:</u>

1. Time require for the ice to start melting.

2. Time required to raise the temperature above freezing point.

Sol.: 1.

<u>We have the formula:</u>

Q=mc\Delta T

Using above equation we find the total heat required to bring the ice from -16.6°C to 0°C.

Q= 0.555\times2100\times16.6

Q= 19347.3 J

Now, we require 19347.3 joules of heat to bring the ice to 0°C  and then on further addition of heat it starts melting.

∴The time required before the ice starts to melt is the time required to bring the ice to 0°C.

t=\frac{Q}{q}

=\frac{19347.3}{820}

= 23.59 minutes.

Sol.: 2.

Next we need to find the time it takes before the temperature rises above freezing from the time when heating begins.

<em>Now comes the concept of Latent  heat into the play, the temperature does not starts rising for the ice as soon as it reaches at 0°C it takes significant amount of time to raise the temperature because the heat energy is being used to convert the phase of the water molecules from solid to liquid.</em>

From the above solution we have concluded that 23.59 minutes is required for the given ice to come to 0°C, now we need some extra amount of energy to convert this ice to liquid water of 0°C.

<u>We have the equation:</u> latent heat, Q_{L}= mL_{i}

Q_{L}= 0.555\times334\times10^{3}= 185370 J

<u>Now  the time required for supply of 185370 J:</u>

t=\frac{Q_{L}}{q}

t=\frac{185370}{820}

t= 226.06 minutes

∴ The time it takes before the temperature rises above freezing from the time when heating begins= 226.06 + 23.59

= 249.65 minutes

Find the equivalent resistance of this
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Re=160ohm

Explanation:

Step#1

Rt=R1+R2 ( because both are in series)

Rt=(100+220 ) ohm

Rt=320 ohm

Step#2

Rt and R3 are parallel so,

Re= (Rt× R3) ÷ (Rt+R3)

Re= (320×320)÷( 320+320)

Re = 102,400÷ 640

Re=160ohm
