In space movies, spacecrafts explode and oxygen is needed for a fire to start. Why is it wrong? What would really happen?

Answer:

Hey

The reason these "space movies" are wrong is because objects in "space" (not in a "space" craft) can't catch on fire because there is no air in "space".

A sphere of radius 0.081029 m is made of aluminum. It is submerged in flowing water with a temperature of 25 °C that results in

Dimas [21]

Answer:

its surface temperature = 54.84 ° C

Explanation:

The density of aluminium $(\rho)$ = 2700 kg/m ³

Heat capacity $( c_p)$ = 897 J/Kg.K

radius of the sphere (r) = 0.081029 m

$T \infty$ = 25 °C

$T_i$ = 124.978 °C

time (t) = 767.276 s

Using the formula :

$\frac{T-T_{ \infty} }{T_i - T_{\infty}}= e^{-\frac{hA}{\rho V c_p}}*t$

where.

$\frac{V}{A}= \frac{r}{3}$

Replacing our values ;we have:

$\frac{T-25 }{124.978 - 25}= e^{-\frac{-103.067*3}{2700*897*0.081029}}*767.276$

$\frac{T-25 }{124.978 - 25}= e^{{-0.001576}*767.276$

$\frac{T-25 }{124.978 - 25}= e^{-1.209}$

$\frac{T-25 }{99.978}= 0.2985$

${T-25 }= 0.2985*{99.978}$

${T-25 }= 29.843433$

${T= 29.843433+25 }$

${T= 54.843433$

T ≅ 54.84 ° C

Therefore, its surface temperature = 54.84 ° C

A spacecraft is fueled using hydrazine (N2H4; molecular weight of 32 grams per mole [g/mol]) and carries 1640 kilograms [kg] of

Sauron [17]

Answer:

The value is $t = 689.029 \ hours$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The molar mass of hydrazine is $Z = 32 g/mol = \frac{32}{1000} = 0.032 \ kg/mol$

The initial temperature is $T_i = -186 ^o F = (-186-32) *\frac{5}{9} +273.15 = 152\ K$

The final temperature is $T_f = 78 ^o F = (78-32) *\frac{5}{9} +273.15 = 298.7 \ K$

The specific heat capacity is $c_h = 0.099 [kJ/(mol K)] = 0.099 *10^3 J/(mol/K)$

The power available is $P = 300 \ W$

The mass of the fuel is $m = 1640 \ kg$

Generally the number of moles of hydrazine present is

$n = \frac{m}{Z}$

=> $n = \frac{1640}{= 0.032}$

=> $n = 51250 \ mol$

Generally the quantity of heat energy needed is mathematically represented as

$Q = n * c_h * (T_f -T_i)$

=> $Q = 51250 * 0.099 *10^3 * (298.7 - 152)$

=> $Q = 7.441516913 * 10^{8} \ J$

Generally the time taken is mathematically represented as

$t = \frac{Q}{P}$

=> $t = \frac{7.441516913 * 10^{8} }{300}$

=> t = 2480505.6377 s

Converting to hours

$t = \frac{2480505.6377}{3600}$

=> $t = 689.029 \ hours$

Which describes radioactive decay of a substance?

Margarita [4]

Radioactive decay is the loss of elementary particles from an unstable nucleus, ultimately changing the unstable element into another more stable element. There are five types of radioactive decay: alpha emission, beta emission, positron emission, electron capture, and gamma emission.

The density of an object remains same irrespective of its shape, size and quantity.

Explanation:

Density is an intensive property. This means that regardless of the object's shape, size, or quantity, the density of that substance will always be the same. Even if you cut the object into a million pieces, they would still each have the same density. It is because density in an intensive property of matter.
