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>

Hope this helps

A 10-kg cart moving at 5 m/s collides with a 5-kg cart at rest and causes it to move 10 m/s. Which principle explains the result
Virty [35]

Hello!

A 10-kg cart moving at 5 m/s collides with a 5-kg cart at rest and causes it to move 10 m/s. Which principle explains the result? A) law of differential mass B) law of conservation of momentum C) law of unequal forces D) law of accelerated collision

We have the following data¹:

ΔP (momentum before impact) = ?  

mA (mass) = 10 kg

vA (velocity) = 5 m/s

mB (mass) = 5 kg

vB (velocity) = 0 m/s

Solving:

ΔP = mA*vA + mB*vB

ΔP = 10 kg*5 m/s + 5 kg*0 m/s

ΔP = 50 kg*m/s + 0 kg*m/s

Δp = 50 kg*m/s ← (momentum before impact)

We have the following data²:

ΔP (momentum after impact) = ?  

mA (mass) = 10 kg

vA (velocity) = 0 m/s

mB (mass) = 5 kg

vB (velocity) = 10 m/s

Solving:

Δp = mA*vA + mB*vB

Δp = 10 kg*0 m/s + 5 kg*10 m/s

Δp = 0 kg*m/s + 50 kg*m/s

Δp = 50 kg*m/s ← (momentum after impact)

*** Then, which principle explains the result ?

Law of conservation of momentum, <u>since the total momentum of body A and B before impact is equal to the total momentum of body A and B after impact.</u>

Note:  Bodies of different masses and velocities may have the same kinetic energy, if proportionality between the units is maintained it can occur that they have the same kinetic energy.

Answer:

B) law of conservation of momentum
