Answer:

Width = 680 [m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must know the speed of sound in the air, conducting an internet search, we find that this speed has a value of v = 340 [m/s].

We apply the following kinematic equation, which relates space to time, to define speed.

v = x /t

where:

x = distance [m]

t = time [s]

v = velocity [m/s]

Now replacing:

x = 340 * 4

x = 1360 [m]

But the width of the cannon is calculated when the sound wave hits the wall of the canyon, so this width is half the distance.

Width = 1360 / 2 = 680 [m]

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

\Delta H=687.4 J

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, for this melting process, we can identify two sub-processes in order to take the stainless steel from solid to liquid:

1. Heat up from 298.15 K to 1673 K.

2. Undergo the phase transition.

Both process have an associated enthalpy as shown below:

\Delta H_1=1g*0.5\frac{J}{g*K} (1673K-298.15K)=687.4J

\Delta H_2=0.001kg*\frac{0.260J}{kg} =0.00026J

Therefore, the required heat is:

\Delta H=\Delta H_1+\Delta H_2\\\\\Delta H=687.4J+0.00026J\\\\\Delta H=687.4J

Notice the problem is not providing neither the mass or volume, that is why we assumed the mass is 1 g; however, it can be changed to the mass you are given.

Best regards!

Olivia wants to find out whether a substance will fluoresce. She says she should put it in a microwave oven. Do you agree with h
andreyandreev [35.5K]
Disagree.
Fluoresce objects will only glow when put under actual Ultraviolet light. This is due to the molecules becoming excited by the ultraviolet radiation.


Microwaves give micro-waves that are present in another spectrum of wave length and will not be able to fluoresce the molecules. If it’s not “ultra violet “.... it’s not going to glow.

A CFL bulb has an efficiency of 8.9% and a power of 22 W. How much light energy does the lightbulb produce in 1 second
hjlf
The power that the light is able to utilize out of the supply is only 0.089 of the given.
                           Power utilized = (0.089)(22 W)
                                                  = 1.958 W
                                                  = 1.958 J/s
The energy required in this item is the product of the power utilized and the time. That is,
                           Energy = (1.958 J/s)(1 s) = 1.958 J
Thus, the light energy that the bulb is able to produce is approximately 1.958 J.
