How can the continuous addition of heat in a closed system cause it to explode?

Answer:

The heat builds pressure

Explanation:

Consider an ideal gas in a closed system (like a gas in a container: in this case, the volume of the gas is fixed). The ideal gas equation states that:

pV=nRT

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the gas volume

n is the number of moles of the gas

R is the gas constant

T is the gas temperature

If heat is added to the gas, its temperature T increases. n and R are constant, and V is constant as well (the container does not change its volume), so this means that the pressure of the gas, p, increases as well. The more heat is added, the more the temperature increases, the more the pressure increase: at some point, the pressure against the internal walls of the container will become so strong that the container will explode.

A balloon is expanded to the same volume as that of a human head. Do an order-of-magnitude estimate of the volume of this balloo
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Volume of balloon =  1000 cm^3

Explanation:

 The head of a normal person can be assumed as a sphere with radius 10 cm.

 Volume of sphere =\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3, where r is the radius.

 We have approximate radius = 10 cm.

  Approximate volume of head =\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3=\frac{4}{3} *\pi* 10^3=4188cm^3

 In the given options the closest value to the approximate volume is 1000 cm^3.

 So, volume of head = Volume of balloon =  1000 cm^3

An inflatable raft (unoccupied) floats down a river at an approximately constant speed of 5.6 m/s. A child on a bridge, 71 m abo
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

21.28 m

Explanation:

height, h = 71 m

velocity of raft, v = 5.6 m/s

let the time taken by the stone to reach to raft is t.

use second equation of motion for stone

h = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

u = 0 m/s, h = 71 m, g = 9.8 m/s^2

71 = 0 + 0.5 x 9.8 x t^2

t = 3.8 s

Horizontal distance traveled by the raft in time t

d = v x t = 5.6 x 3.8 = 21.28 m

A student drops a rock from a bridge to the water 12.7 m below. with what speed does the rock strike the water? the acceleration
kolezko [41]

The rock strike the water with the speed of 15.78 m/sec.

The speed by which rock hit the water is calculated by the formula

v=\sqrt{2gh}

v=\sqrt{2*9.8*12.7}

v=15.78 m/sec

Hence, the rock strike the water with the speed of 15.78 m/sec.
