Answer:

D) Fusion requires high temperatures and pressures, so how have they reduced the energy cost for it?

Explanation:

Fusion requires high temperatures and pressure for initiation of reaction . There is no chain reaction in it so there is no problem of controlling the problem . On the other hand , the reaction tends to stop as soon as temperature goes down due to heat getting dissipated . There is no problem of fuel as its fuel is deuterium which is present in nature in large amount . The question which is pertinent is that the cost involved in attaining so high temperature is very high so is it cost effective to produce energy by incurring so much of cost . Producing energy by using so much of energy in the beginning appears to be preposterous.

135g of an unknown substance gains 9133 J of heat as it is heated from 25⁰C to 100⁰C. Using the chart below, determine the ident
telo118 [61]

Answer:

The unknown substance is Aluminum.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the change in the temperature of substance. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial temperature (T₁) = 25 ⁰C

Final temperature (T₂) = 100 ⁰C

Change in temperature (ΔT) =?

ΔT = T₂ – T₁

ΔT = 100 – 25

ΔT = 75 ⁰C

Finally, we shall determine the specific heat capacity of the substance. This can be obtained as follow:

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 75 ⁰C

Mass of the substance (M) = 135 g

Heat (Q) gained = 9133 J

Specific heat capacity (C) of substance =?

Q = MCΔT

9133 = 135 × C × 75

9133 = 10125 × C

Divide both side by 10125

C = 9133 / 10125

C = 0.902 J/gºC

Thus, the specific heat capacity of substance is 0.902 J/gºC

Comparing the specific heat capacity (i.e 0.902 J/gºC) of substance to those given in the table above, we can see clearly that the unknown substance is aluminum.

A gas is compressed from 600cm3 to 200cm3 at a constant pressure of 450kPa . At the same time, 100J of heat energy is transferre
Paraphin [41]

Answer: 80J

Explanation:

According to the first principle of thermodynamics:  

<em>"Energy is not created, nor destroyed, but it is conserved."  </em>

Then this priciple (also called Law) relates the work and the transferred heat exchanged in a system through the internal energy U, which is neither created nor destroyed, it is only transformed. So, in this especific case of the compressed gas:

\Delta U=Q+W  (1)

Where:

\Delta U is the variation in the internal (thermal) energy of the system (the value we want to find)

Q=-100J is the heat transferred out of the gas (that is why it is negative)

W is the work is done on the gas (as the gas is compressed, the work done on the gas must be considered positive )

On the other hand, the work done on the gas is given by:

W=-P \Delta V  (2)

Where:

P=450kPa=450(10)^{3}Pa is the constant pressure of the gas

\Delta V=V_{f}-V_{i} is the variation in volume of the gas

In this case the initial volume is V_{i}=600{cm}^{3}=600(10)^{-6}m^{3} and the final volume is V_{f}=200{cm}^{3}=200(10)^{-6}m^{3}.

This means:

\Delta V=200(10)^{-6}m^{3}-600(10)^{-6}m^{3}=-400(10)^{-6}m^{3}  (3)

Substituting (3) in (2):

W=-450(10)^{3}Pa(-400(10)^{-6}m^{3})  (4)

W=180J  (5)

Substituting (5) in (1):

\Delta U=-100J+180J  (6)

Finally:

\Delta U=80J  This is the change in thermal energy in the compression process.

If a car crashes into another car like this, the wreck should go nowhere. Besides this being an unrealistic question, the physics of it would look like this:

Momentum before and after the collision is conserved.

Momentum before the collision:
p = m * v = 50000kg * 24m/s + 55000kg * 0m/s = 50000kg * 24m/s
Momentum after the collision:
p = m * v = (50000kg + 55000kg) * v

Setting both momenta equal:
50000kg * 24m/s = (50000kg + 55000kg) * v

Solving for the velocity v:
v = 50000kg * 24m/s/(50000kg + 55000kg) = 11,43m/s

Which electrode in Thomson’s vacuum tube was positively charged
Taya2010 [7]

Anode

Explanation:

The anode in the gas discharge tube used by Thomson in his experiment was the positively charged electrode.

Using the gas discharge tube, Thomson made the remarkable discovery of cathode rays.

The rays moves from the negatively charged cathode to the positively charged anode. This indicated that the rays carry positive charges.

Some parts of the tube are:

  • Cathode - negatively charged electrode
  • Power source
  • Gas at low pressure
  • Outlet to vacuum pump
