Define
m₁ = 0.650 kg the mass of the fish leaping to the right.
u₁ = 15.0 m/s is its velocity.
m₂ = 0.950 kg, the mass of the fish leaping to the left
u₂ = 13.5 m/s is its velocity.

Let v = the mutual velocity after inelastic impact.
For conservation of momentum,
m₁u₁ + m₂(-u₂) = (m₁+m₂)v
0.65*15 - 0.95*13.5 = (0.65 + 0.95)*v
v = - 3.075/1.6
   = - 1.9219 m/s 

The change in KE of the 0.65 kg fish is
(1/2)*(0.65 kg)*(15 + 1.9219)² = 93.06 J

Answer: 93.1 J

The change in the kinetic energy refers to the work done in displacing a body, thus, the change in the kinetic energy of an object refers to the work done on the object.
The correct formula to use is:
W = Initial kinetic energy - Final kinetic energy;
Where, W = change in kinetic energy
Final kinetic energy and initial kinetic energy = 1/2 MV^2
Initial velocity = 15 m/s
Final velocity  = 13.5 m/s
Initial mass = 0.650 kg
Final mass = 0.950 kg
W = 1/2 [0.650* (15 *15)] - 1/2 [0.950 * (13.5 * 13.5)]
W = 146.25 - 173.13 = 26.88
Therefore, the change in kinetic energy is 26.88 J.
 The negative sign has to be ignored, because change in kinetic energy can not be negative.

If The density of this stainless steel is7.85 g/cm3,specific heatis 0.5 J/g.K, melting pointis 1673K, heat of fusion s0.260J/kg.
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!

A sealed tank containing seawater to a height of 12.8 m also contains air above the water at a gauge pressure of 2.90 atm . Wate
exis [7]

Answer:

The velocity of water at the bottom, v_{b} = 28.63 m/s

Given:

Height of water in the tank, h = 12.8 m

Gauge pressure of water, P_{gauge} = 2.90 atm

Solution:

Now,

Atmospheric pressue, P_{atm} = 1 atm = 1.01\tiems 10^{5} Pa

At the top, the absolute pressure, P_{t} = P_{gauge} + P_{atm} = 2.90 + 1 = 3.90 atm = 3.94\times 10^{5} Pa

Now, the pressure at the bottom will be equal to the atmopheric pressure, P_{b} = 1 atm = 1.01\times 10^{5} Pa

The velocity at the top, v_{top} = 0 m/s, l;et the bottom velocity, be v_{b}.

Now, by Bernoulli's eqn:

P_{t} + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_{t}^{2} + \rho g h_{t} = P_{b} + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_{b}^{2} + \rho g h_{b}

where

h_{t} -  h_{b} = 12.8 m

Density of sea water, \rho = 1030 kg/m^{3}

\sqrt{\frac{2(P_{t} - P_{b} + \rho g(h_{t} - h_{b}))}{\rho}} =  v_{b}

\sqrt{\frac{2(3.94\times 10^{5} - 1.01\times 10^{5} + 1030\times 9.8\times 12.8}{1030}} =  v_{b}

v_{b} = 28.63 m/s
