T<span>his is a straightforward question related to the surface energy of the droplet. </span>

<span>You know the surface area of a sphere is 4π r² and its volume is (4/3) π r³. </span>

<span>With a diameter of 1.4 mm you have an original droplet with a radius of 0.7 mm so the surface area is roughly 6.16 mm² (0.00000616 m²) and the volume is roughly 1.438 mm³. </span>

<span>The total surface energy of the original droplet is 0.00000616 * 72 ~ 0.00044 mJ </span>

<span>The five smaller droplets need to have the same volume as the original. Therefore </span>

<span>5 V = 1.438 mm³ so the volume of one of the smaller spheres is 1.438/5 = 0.287 mm³. </span>

<span>Since this smaller volume still has the volume (4/3) π r³ then r = cube_root(0.287/(4/3) π) = cube_root(4.39) = 0.4 mm. </span>

<span>Each of the smaller droplets has a surface area of 4π r² = 2 mm² or 0.0000002 m². </span>

<span>The surface energy of the 5 smaller droplets is then 5 * 0.000002 * 72.0 = 0.00072 mJ </span>
<span>From this radius the surface energy of all smaller droplets is 0.00072 and the difference in energy is 0.00072- 0.00044 mJ = 0.00028 mJ. </span>

<span>Therefore you need roughly 0.00028 mJ or 0.28 µJ of energy to change a spherical droplet of water of diameter 1.4 mm into 5 identical smaller droplets. </span>

“Dry ice” is the solid form of carbon dioxide. Determine the number of mass of CO2 gas in grams that are present in 61.8 L of CO
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Mass  = 121 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass in gram of CO₂ = ?

Volume = 61.8 L

Pressure = standard = 1 atm

Temperature = 273.15 K

Solution:

Formula:

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

1 atm × 61.8 L = n ×0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K   × 273.15 k

61.8 L.atm = 22.42 atm.L/ mol × n

n = 61.8 L.atm /22.42 atm.L/ mol

n = 2.76 mol

Mass in gram:

Mass =  number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 2.76 mol × 44 g/mol

Mass  = 121 g

A baseball player hits a ball. Which is the best description of the energy of the ball as it flies over the pitcher’s head?
Elan Coil [88]

The right option is; b. mechanical

Mechanical energy is the best description of the energy of the ball as it flies over the pitcher’s head.

Mechanical energy is the energy that an object acquires due to its position or due to its motion. From the question, the baseball player has chemical potential energy (stored as food) which is transformed into work. As the baseball player hits the ball, there is energy exchange in which the ball acquires energy to perform its work. The energy obtained by the ball upon which work is done is called mechanical energy.
