In February 1955, a paratrooper fell 370 m from an airplane without being able to open his chute but happened to land in snow, s
nevsk [136]

a) 0.94 m

The work done by the snow to decelerate the paratrooper is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the man:

W=\Delta K\\-F d = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - \frac{1}{2}mu^2

where:

F=1.1 \cdot 10^5 N is the force applied by the snow

d is the displacement of the man in the snow, so it is the depth of the snow that stopped him

m = 68 kg is the man's mass

v = 0 is the final speed of the man

u = 55 m/s is the initial speed of the man (when it touches the ground)

and where the negative sign in the work is due to the fact that the force exerted by the snow on the man (upward) is opposite to the displacement of the man (downward)

Solving the equation for d, we find:

d=\frac{1}{2F}mu^2 = \frac{(68 kg)(55 m/s)^2}{2(1.1\cdot 10^5 N)}=0.94 m

b) -3740 kg m/s

The magnitude of the impulse exerted by the snow on the man is equal to the variation of momentum of the man:

I=\Delta p = m \Delta v

where

m = 68 kg is the mass of the man

\Delta v = 0-55 m/s = -55 m/s is the change in velocity of the man

Substituting,

I=(68 kg)(-55 m/s)=-3740 kg m/s

What is the mass of a sample of water that takes 2000 kJ of energy to boil into steam at 373 K? The latent heat of vaporization
GREYUIT [131]

Answer : The mass of a sample of water is, 888.89 grams

Explanation :

Latent heat of vaporization : It is defined as the amount of heat energy released or absorbed when the liquid converted to vapor at atmospheric pressure at its boiling point.

Formula used :

q=L\times m

where,

q = heat = 2000 kJ = 2\times 10^6J       (1 kJ = 1000 J)

L = latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.25\times 10^6J/kg

m = mass of sample of water = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

2\times 10^6J=(2.25\times 10^6J/kg)\times m

m=0.88889kg=888.89g       (1 kg = 1000 g)

Therefore, the mass of a sample of water is, 888.89 grams
