A small 23 kilogram canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 3 m/s. What is the canoe's kinetic energy?

1 answer:

3 0

Kinetic energy is defined as the energy the object possess due to its motion. It is the work that accelerates a given body from rest to motion.

Given:

The mass of the canoe is 23 kilogram

The velocity of the canoe is 3 m/s

The kinetic energy can be given by the formula:

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

Substituting the given values in the kinetic energy equation

KE = $\frac{1}{2}.(23kg).(3m/s)^{2}$

KE= 11.5 * 9 kg.m^2/s^2

k = 103.5 J

Therefore the kinetic energy of the canoe is 103.5 Joules.

Calculate the work (kJ) done during a reaction in which the internal volume expands from 20 L to 43 L against an outside pressur

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{-10.0 kJ}}$

Explanation:

1. Calculate the work

w = - pΔV = -4.3 atm × (43 L - 20 L) = -4.3 × 23 L·atm = -98.9 L·atm

2. Convert litre-atmospheres to joules

$w = \text{-98.9 L\cdot$atm } \times \dfrac{\text{101.3 J}}{\text{1 L$\cdot$atm }} = \text{-10000 J} = \textbf{-10.0 kJ}\\\\\text{The work done is $\large \boxed{\textbf{-10.0 kJ}}$}$

The negative sign indicates that the work was done against the surroundings.

What is the mass of a steel cylinder that has a density of 75.0 g/mL and a volume of 12 mL?

siniylev [52]

<span>
hey there!:

density = 75.0 g/mL

Volume = 12 mL

mass = ?

Therefore:

D = m / V

75.0 =m / 12

m = 75.0 * 12

m = 900 g

Answer B
