Answer:

The material with the higher specific heat capacity would cause a more severe burn.

Explanation:

Quantity of heat (Q) = mass of material (m) × specific heat capacity (C) × temperature difference (∆T)

From the formula above, the relationship between Q and C is direct in which increase in one quantity (C) leads to a corresponding increase in the other quantity (Q)

The material with the higher specific heat capacity would produce more heat, thus cause a more severe burn.

.a. What size vessel holds 2 kg water at 80°C such that 70% is vapor? What are the pressure and internal energy? b. A 1.6 m3 ves

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Part a: The volume of vessel is 4.7680 $m^3$ and total internal energy is 3680 kJ.

Part b: The quality of the mixture is 90.3% or 0.903, temperature is 120 °C and total internal energy is 4660 kJ.

Explanation:

Part a:

As per given data

m=2 kg

T=80 °C =80+273=353 K

Dryness=70% vapour =0.7

<em>From the steam tables at 80 °C</em>

Specific volume of saturated vapours=v_g=3.40527 $m^3/kg$

Specific volume of saturated liquid=v_f=0.00102 $m^3/kg$

Now the relation of total specific volume for a specific dryness value is given as

$v=v_f+x(v_g-v_f)$

Substituting the values give

$v=v_f+x(v_g-v_f)\\v=0.00102+0.7(3.40527-0.00102)\\v_f=2.38399 m^3/kg$

Now the volume of vessel is given as

$v=\frac{V}{m}\\V=v \times m\\V=2.38399 \times 2\\V=4.7680 m^3$

So the volume of vessel is 4.7680 $m^3$ .

Similarly for T=80 and dryness ratio of 0.7 from the table of steam

Pressure=P=47.4 kPa

Specific internal energy is given as u=1840 kJ/kg

So the total internal energy is given as

$u=\frac{U}{m}\\U=u \times m\\U=1840 \times 2\\U=3680 kJ$

The total internal energy is 3680 kJ.

So the volume of vessel is 4.7680 $m^3$ and total internal energy is 3680 kJ.

Part b

Volume of vessel is given as 1.6

mass is given as 2 kg

Pressure is given as 0.2 MPa or 200 kPa

Now the specific volume is given as

$v=\frac{V}{m}\\v=\frac{1.6}{2}\\v=0.8 m^3/kg$

So from steam tables for Pressure=200 kPa and specific volume as 0.8 gives

Temperature=T=120 °C

Quality=x=0.903 ≈ 90.3%

Specific internal energy =u=2330 kJ/kg

The total internal energy is given as

$u=\frac{U}{m}\\U=u \times m\\U=2330 \times 2\\U=4660 kJ$

So the quality of the mixture is 90.3% or 0.903, temperature is 120 °C and total internal energy is 4660 kJ.

While playing a game of catch on the quadrangle, you throw a ball at an initial velocity of 17.6 m/s (approximately 39.4 mi/hr),

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

a) The y-component of velocity just before the ball hits the ground is -14.860 meters per second.

b) The ball is in the air during approximately 2.890 seconds.

c) The horizontal distance covered by the ball is 32.695 meters.

d) The magnitude of the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground is approximately 18.676 meters per second.

e) The angle of the total velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground is approximately 52.717º below the horizontal.

Explanation:

a) The ball experiments a parabolic motion, which is a combination of horizontal motion at constant velocity and vertical motion at constant acceleration. First, we calculate the time taken by the ball to hit the ground:

$y = y_{o} + (v_{o}\cdot \sin \theta) \cdot t+\frac{1}{2}\cdot g\cdot t^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$y_{o}$ , $y$ - Initial and final vertical position, measured in meters.

$v_{o}$ - Initial speed, measured in meters per second.

$\theta$ - Launch angle, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

$t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

If we know that $y_{o} = 2\,m$ , $y = 0\,m$ , $v_{o} = 17.6\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $\theta = 50^{\circ}$ and $g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , then the time taken by the ball is:

$-4.904\cdot t^{2}+13.482\cdot t +2 = 0$ (2)

This second order polynomial can be solved by Quadratic Formula:

$t_{1} \approx 2.890\,s$ and $t_{2} \approx -0.141\,s$

Only the first root offers a solution that is physically reasonable. That is, $t \approx 2.890\,s$ .

The vertical velocity of the ball is calculated by this expression:

$v_{y} = v_{o}\cdot \sin \theta +g\cdot t$ (3)

Where:

$v_{o,y}$ , $v_{y}$ - Initial and final vertical velocity, measured in meters per second.

If we know that $v_{o} = 17.6\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $\theta = 50^{\circ}$ , $g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $t \approx 2.890\,s$ , then the final vertical velocity is:

$v_{y} = -14.860\,\frac{m}{s}$

The y-component of velocity just before the ball hits the ground is -14.860 meters per second.

b) From a) we understand that ball is in the air during approximately 2.890 seconds.

c) The horizontal distance covered by the ball ( $x$ ) is determined by the following expression:

$x = (v_{o}\cdot \cos \theta)\cdot t$ (4)

If we know that $v_{o} = 17.6\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $\theta = 50^{\circ}$ and $t \approx 2.890\,s$ , then the distance covered by the ball is:

$x = 32.695\,m$

The horizontal distance covered by the ball is 32.695 meters.

d) The magnitude of the velocity of the ball just before hitting the ground ( $v$ ), measured in meters per second, is determined by the following Pythagorean identity:

$v = \sqrt{(v_{o}\cdot \cos \theta )^{2}+v_{y}^{2}}$ (5)

If we know that $v_{o} = 17.6\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $\theta = 50^{\circ}$ and $v_{y} = -14.860\,\frac{m}{s}$ , then the magnitude of the velocity of the ball is:

$v \approx 18.676\,\frac{m}{s}$ .

The magnitude of the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground is approximately 18.676 meters per second.

e) The angle of the total velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground is defined by the following trigonometric relationship:

$\tan \theta = \frac{v_{y}}{v_{o}\cdot \cos \theta_{o}}$

If we know that $v_{o} = 17.6\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $\theta_{o} = 50^{\circ}$ and $v_{y} = -14.860\,\frac{m}{s}$ , the angle of the total velocity of the ball just before hitting the ground is:

$\theta \approx -52.717^{\circ}$

The angle of the total velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground is approximately 52.717º below the horizontal.
