Inclined planes are widely used to move heavy loads over vertical obstacles.

Explanation:

examples vary from a ramp used to load goods into a truck, to a person walking up a pedestrian ramp, to an automobile or railroad train climbing a grade.

Calculate the final temperature of a mixture of 0.350 kg of ice initially at 218°C and 237 g of water initially at 100.0°C.

kramer

Answer:

115 ⁰C

Explanation:

Step 1: The heat needed to melt the solid at its melting point will come from the warmer water sample. This implies

$q_{1} +q_{2} =-q_{3}$ -----eqution 1

where,

$q_{1}$ is the heat absorbed by the solid at 0⁰C

$q_{2}$ is the heat absorbed by the liquid at 0⁰C

$q_{3}$ the heat lost by the warmer water sample

Important equations to be used in solving this problem

$q=m *c*\delta {T}$ , where -----equation 2

q is heat absorbed/lost

m is mass of the sample

c is specific heat of water, = 4.18 J/0⁰C

$\delta {T}$ is change in temperature

Again,

$q=n*\delta {_f_u_s}$ -------equation 3

where,

q is heat absorbed

n is the number of moles of water

tex]\delta {_f_u_s}[/tex] is the molar heat of fusion of water, = 6.01 kJ/mol

Step 2: calculate how many moles of water you have in the 100.0-g sample

$=237g *\frac{1 mole H_{2} O}{18g} = 13.167 moles of H_{2}O$

Step 3: calculate how much heat is needed to allow the sample to go from solid at 218⁰C to liquid at 0⁰C

$q_{1} = 13.167 moles *6.01\frac{KJ}{mole} = 79.13KJ$

This means that equation (1) becomes

79.13 KJ + $q_{2} = -q_{3}$

Step 4: calculate the final temperature of the water

$79.13KJ+M_{sample} *C*\delta {T_{sample}} =-M_{water} *C*\delta {T_{water}$

Substitute in the values; we will have,

$79.13KJ + 237*4.18\frac{J}{g^{o}C}*(T_{f}-218}) = -350*4.18\frac{J}{g^{o}C}*(T_{f}-100})$

79.13 kJ + 990.66J* $(T_{f}-218})$ = -1463J* $(T_{f}-100})$

Convert the joules to kilo-joules to get

79.13 kJ + 0.99066KJ* $(T_{f}-218})$ = -1.463KJ* $(T_{f}-100})$

$79.13 + 0.99066T_{f} -215.96388= -1.463T_{f}+146.3$

collect like terms,

2.45366 $T_{f}$ = 283.133

∴ $T_{f} =$ = 115.4 ⁰C

Approximately the final temperature of the mixture is 115 ⁰C

An atom of uranium 238 emits an alpha particle (an atom of He) and recoils with a velocity of 1.895 * 10^ 5 m/sec . With velocit

lora16 [44]

Answer: The velocity of released alpha particle is $1.127\times 10^7m/s$

Explanation:

According to law of conservation of momentum, momentum can neither be created nor be destroyed until and unless, an external force is applied.

For a system:

$m_1v_1=m_2v_2$

where,

$m_1\text{ and }v_1$ = Initial mass and velocity

$m_2\text{ and }v_2$ = Final mass and velocity

We are given:

$m_1=238u\\v_1=1.895\times 10^{5}m/s\\m_2=4u\text{ (Mass of }\alpha \text{ -particle)}\\v_2=?m/s$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$238\times 1.895\times 10^5=4\times v_2\\\\v_2=\frac{238\times 1.895\times 10^5}{4}=1.127\times 10^7m/s$

Hence, the velocity of released alpha particle is $1.127\times 10^7m/s$
