A similar experiment was more recently done by NASA using an icy mixture of water, methanol, ammonia and carbon monoxide. The mi

xture was exposed to ultraviolet radiation. The results of this experiment were that no amino acids or DNA were formed, but complex organic molecules were observed. The purpose of this experiment was to determine whether:___________.

A 50-g chunk of 80 degrees C iron is dropped into a cavity in a very large block of ice at 0 degrees C. Show that 5.5 g of ice w
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

5.5g of ice melts when a 50g chunk of iron at 80°C is dropped into a cavity

Explanation:

The concept to solve this problem is given by Energy Transferred, the equation is given by,

Q = mc\Delta T

Where,

Q= Energy transferred

m = mass of water

c = specific heat capacity

\Delta T = Temperature change (K or °C)

Replacing the values where mass is 50g and temperature is 80°C to 0°C we have,

Q = mc\Delta T

Q = 50*0.11*(80-0)

Q = 440cal

Then we can calculate the heat absorbed by m grams of ice at 0°C, then

Q_2 = mL = 80*m

How Q_1=Q_2, so

80m=440

m=\frac{440}{80}

m = 5.5g

Then 5.5g of ice melts when a 50g chunk of iron at 80°C is dropped into a cavity

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

a. 5 × 10¹⁹ protons b. 2.05 × 10⁷ °C

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

A beam of protons is moving toward a target in a particle accelerator. This beam constitutes a current whose value is 0.42 A. (a) How many protons strike the target in 19 seconds? (b) Each proton has a kinetic energy of 6.0 x 10-12 J. Suppose the target is a 17-gram block of metal whose specific heat capacity is 860 J/(kg Co), and all the kinetic energy of the protons goes into heating it up. What is the change in temperature of the block at the end of 19 s?

Solution

a.

i = Q/t = ne/t

n = it/e where i = current = 0.42 A, n = number of protons, e = proton charge = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C and t = time = 19 s

So n = 0.42 A × 19 s/1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

       = 4.98 × 10¹⁹ protons

       ≅ 5 × 10¹⁹ protons

b

The total kinetic energy of the protons = heat change of target

total kinetic energy of the protons = n × kinetic energy per proton

                                                         = 5 × 10¹⁹ protons × 6.0 × 10⁻¹² J per proton

                                                         = 30 × 10⁷ J

heat change of target = Q = mcΔT ⇒ ΔT = Q/mc where m = mass of block = 17 g = 0.017 kg and c = specific heat capacity = 860 J/(kg °C)

ΔT = Q/mc = 30 × 10⁷ J/0.017 kg × 860 J/(kg °C)

     = 30 × 10⁷/14.62

     = 2.05 × 10⁷ °C

How are the mass and weight of an object related? Include a description with words and an equation.
nikdorinn [45]
The weight is the force experienced, whereas the mass represents the actual quantity of matter inside a body..
weigh on the surface of the earth is equal to mg
mass is m
and at the centre weight is 0 due to 0 acceleration that's 0 g
but mass is always constant and remains m, no matter where you are
