A supply bag is dropped from a rescue plane. After the bag falls for 3.2 seconds , what is the velocity of the bag?

loris [4]

Answer: -31.36 m/s

Explanation:

This is a problem of motion in one direction (specifically vertical motion), and the equation that best fulfills this approach is:

$V_{f}=V_{o}+a.t$ (1)

Where:

$V_{f}$ is the final velocity of the supply bag

$V_{o}=0$ is the initial velocity of the supply bag (we know it is zero because we are told it was "dropped", this means it goes to ground in free fall)

$a=g=-9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity (the negtive sign indicates the gravity is downwards, in the direction of the center of the Earth)

$t=3.2s$ is the time

Knowing this, let's solve (1):

$V_{f}=0+(-9.8m/s^{2})(3.2s)$ (2)

Finally:

$V_{f}=-31.36m/s$ Note the negative sign is because the direction of the bag is downwards as well.

True or False - Auroras appear when the particles collide with atoms and

FromTheMoon [43]

False, because the ions of the solar wind collide with atoms of oxygen and nitrogen from the Earth's atmosphere. The energy released during these collisions causes an aurora.

What change in entropy occurs when a 0.15 kg ice cube at -18 °C is transformed into steam at 120 °c 4.

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer: The change in entropy of the given process is 1324.8 J/K

Explanation:

The processes involved in the given problem are:

$1.)H_2O(s)(-18^oC,255K)\rightarrow H_2O(s)(0^oC,273K)\\2.)H_2O(s)(0^oC,273K)\rightarrow H_2O(l)(0^oC,273K)\\3.)H_2O(l)(0^oC,273K)\rightarrow H_2O(l)(100^oC,373K)\\4.)H_2O(l)(100^oC,373K)\rightarrow H_2O(g)(100^oC,373K)\\5.)H_2O(g)(100^oC,373K)\rightarrow H_2O(g)(120^oC,393K)$

Pressure is taken as constant.

To calculate the entropy change for same phase at different temperature, we use the equation:

$\Delta S=m\times C_{p,m}\times \ln (\frac{T_2}{T_1})$ .......(1)

where,

$\Delta S$ = Entropy change

$C_{p,m}$ = specific heat capacity of medium

m = mass of ice = 0.15 kg = 150 g (Conversion factor: 1 kg = 1000 g)

$T_2$ = final temperature

$T_1$ = initial temperature

To calculate the entropy change for different phase at same temperature, we use the equation:

$\Delta S=m\times \frac{\Delta H_{f,v}}{T}$ .......(2)

where,

$\Delta S$ = Entropy change

m = mass of ice

$\Delta H_{f,v}$ = enthalpy of fusion of vaporization

T = temperature of the system

Calculating the entropy change for each process:

For process 1:

We are given:

$m=150g\\C_{p,s}=2.06J/gK\\T_1=255K\\T_2=273K$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\Delta S_1=150g\times 2.06J/g.K\times \ln(\frac{273K}{255K})\\\\\Delta S_1=21.1J/K$

For process 2:

We are given:

$m=150g\\\Delta H_{fusion}=334.16J/g\\T=273K$

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$\Delta S_2=\frac{150g\times 334.16J/g}{273K}\\\\\Delta S_2=183.6J/K$

For process 3:

We are given:

$m=150g\\C_{p,l}=4.184J/gK\\T_1=273K\\T_2=373K$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\Delta S_3=150g\times 4.184J/g.K\times \ln(\frac{373K}{273K})\\\\\Delta S_3=195.9J/K$

For process 4:

We are given:

$m=150g\\\Delta H_{vaporization}=2259J/g\\T=373K$

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$\Delta S_2=\frac{150g\times 2259J/g}{373K}\\\\\Delta S_2=908.4J/K$

For process 5:

We are given:

$m=150g\\C_{p,g}=2.02J/gK\\T_1=373K\\T_2=393K$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\Delta S_5=150g\times 2.02J/g.K\times \ln(\frac{393K}{373K})\\\\\Delta S_5=15.8J/K$

Total entropy change for the process = $\Delta S_1+\Delta S_2+\Delta S_3+\Delta S_4+\Delta S_5$

Total entropy change for the process = $[21.1+183.6+195.9+908.4+15.8]J/K=1324.8J/K$

Hence, the change in entropy of the given process is 1324.8 J/K
