The mass of a ship before launch is 55,000 metric tons. The ship is launched down a ramp and drops a total of 10 vertical meters

before coming to rest in a lock containing 75,000 cubic meters of fresh water. The specific heat of water is 4200 joules per kilogram degree Celsius. Assume all energy is transferred from the ship to the water. Determine the change in temperature of the water in degrees Celsius .

Answer:

ΔT = 17.11 °C

Explanation:

In this case, we have a ship standing on a place with a given mass and it's about to be launched to a lock containing water.

At first, before launch, the ship has a potential energy, and when the ship hits the water after being launched, this potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.

So, let's calculate first the potential energy of the ship:

E = mgh   (1)

We have the mass, gravity and height, so we need to replace the given data here. Before we do that, let's remember to use the correct units. A ton is 1000 kg, so replacing and converting we have:

E = (55000 ton * 1000 kg/ton) * (9.8 m/s²) * 10 m

E = 5.39x10⁹ J

Now this energy will be the same when the ship hits the water, only that is kinetic energy that will result in the rise of temperature. To get this rise we use the following expression:

E = m * C * ΔT   (2)

We have the energy, the mass of water (assuming density of water as 1 kg/m³) and the specific heat, so, replacing in (2) and solving for ΔT we have:

ΔT = E / m * C    (3)

ΔT = 5.39x10⁹ / 4200 * 75000

<h2>ΔT = 17.11 °C</h2>

Answer:

x = 5[km]

Explanation:

We must convert the time from minutes to hours.

t=30[min]*\frac{1h}{60min}= 0.5[h]\\

We know that speed is defined as the relationship between space and time.

v=x/t

where:

x = space [m]

t = time = 0.5 [h]

v = velocity [m/s]

Now replacing:

x = 10[\frac{km}{h} ]*0.5[h]\\x=5[km]

An amoeba has 1.00 x 1016 protons and a net charge of 0.300 pC. Assuming there are 1.88 x 106 fewer electrons than protons, If y
Xelga [282]

Answer:

The fraction of the protons would have no electrons =1.88\times 10^{-10}

Explanation:

We are given that

Amoeba has total number of protons=1.00\times 10^{16}

Net charge, Q=0.300pC

Electrons are fewer than protons=1.88\times 10^6

We have to find the fraction of protons would have no electrons.

The fraction of the protons would have no electrons

=\frac{Fewer\;electrons}{Total\;protons}

The fraction of the protons would have no electrons

=\frac{1.88\times 10^{6}}{1.00\times 10^{16}}

=1.88\times 10^{-10}

Hence, the fraction of the protons would have no electrons =1.88\times 10^{-10}
