The diagram below represents a flashlight that has been turned on. Which form of energy is being converted to electrical energy

Orlov [11]

Answer:

Chemical energy to electrical energy

Explanation:

In nature, there are several types of energy.

In this example (a flashlight being turned on), we have a conversion of energy from chemical energy to electrical energy. In fact:

- Chemical energy is the energy stored in the chemical bonds of the molecules of the substances used inside the battery. When the chemical reaction inside the battery occurs, this energy is liberated, and it is used to "push" the electrons along the circuit connected to the battery

- Electric energy is the energy associated to the motion of the electrons along the circuit of the flashlight; it is the energy associated to an electric current.

Moreover, in the flashlight the electric energy is then converted into two more types of energy: light energy (since the bulb in the flashlight produces light) and heat energy (because the flashlight also produces heat, so thermal energy).

Determine the average value of the translational kinetic energy of the molecules of an ideal gas at (a) 27.8°C and (b) 143°C. Wh

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

a) $k_{avg}=6.22\times 10^{-21}$

b) $k_{avg}=8.61\times 10^{-21}$

c) $k_{mol}=3.74\times 10^{3}J/mol$

d) $k_{mol}=5.1\times 10^{3}J/mol$

Explanation:

Average translation kinetic energy ( $k_{avg}$ ) is given as

$k_{avg}=\frac{3}{2}\times kT$ ....................(1)

where,

k = Boltzmann's constant ; 1.38 × 10⁻²³ J/K

T = Temperature in kelvin

a) at T = 27.8° C

T = 27.8 + 273 = 300.8 K

substituting the value of temperature in the equation (1)

we have

$k_{avg}=\frac{3}{2}\times 1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 300.8$

$k_{avg}=6.22\times 10^{-21}J$

b) at T = 143° C

T = 143 + 273 = 416 K

substituting the value of temperature in the equation (1)

we have

$k_{avg}=\frac{3}{2}\times 1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 416$

$k_{avg}=8.61\times 10^{-21}J$

c ) The translational kinetic energy per mole of an ideal gas is given as:

$k_{mol}=A_{v}\times k_{avg}$

here $A_{v}$ = Avagadro's number; ( 6.02×10²³ )

now at T = 27.8° C

$k_{mol}=6.02\times 10^{23}\times 6.22\times 10^{-21}$

$k_{mol}=3.74\times 10^{3}J/mol$

d) now at T = 143° C

$k_{mol}=6.02\times 10^{23}\times 8.61\times 10^{-21}$

$k_{mol}=5.1\times 10^{3}J/mol$

If earth had no atmosphere, would a falling object ever reach terminal velocity?

stepan [7]

No, because terminal velocity is when the acceleration of the Earth’s gravity is balanced by the air resistance of the atmosphere.

torisob [31]

30000 btuh /3413 btuh/kw. = 8.8 kw

8.8 kw/.746 kw/hp = 11.8 hp if COP is 1

11.8/3 hp (COP coefficient of performance) = 3.99 COP

>>>So yes a 3.0 hp compressor with a nominal COP of 4 will handle the 30,000 btuh load.

3.2 to 4.5 is expected COP range for an air cooled heat pump or a/c unit.

The decimal equivalent for meter is

USPshnik [31]

m =dm ______ 10.000

Meters

The metre is a unit of length in the metric system, and is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI).

As the base unit of length in the SI and other m.k.s. systems (based around metres, kilograms and seconds) the metres is used to help derive other units of measurement such as the newton, for force.
