Answer:

Atmospheric pressure at Badwater is 1.01022 atm

Explanation:

Data given:

1 atmospheric pressure (Pi) = 1.01 * 10^{5} Pa

Elevation (h) = 86m

gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s2

Density of air P = 1.225 kg/m3

Therefore pressure at bad water Pb = Pi + Pgh

Pb = (1.01 * 10^{5}) + (1.225 * 9.8 * 86)

Pb = (1.01 * 10^{5}) + 1032.43 = 102032 Pa

hence:

Pb = 102032 /1.01 * 10^{5} = 1.01022 atm

Two protons (each with q = 1.60 x 10-19)
otez555 [7]

Answer:

230.4 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Charge (q) of each protons = 1.6×10¯¹⁹ C

Distance apart (r) = 1×10¯¹⁵ m

Force (F) =?

NOTE: Electric constant (K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²

The force exerted can be obtained as follow:

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

F = 9×10⁹ × (1.6×10¯¹⁹)² / (1×10¯¹⁵)²

F = 9×10⁹ × 2.56×10¯³⁸ / 1×10¯³⁰

F = 2.304×10¯²⁸ / 1×10¯³⁰

F = 230.4 N

Therefore, the force exerted is 230.4 N

A well lagged copper calorimeter of mas 120g contains 70g of water and 10g ice both at 0°C . Dry steam at 100°C is passed in unt
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

7.6 g

Explanation:

"Well lagged" means insulated, so there's no heat transfer between the calorimeter and the surroundings.

The heat gained by the copper, water, and ice = the heat lost by the steam

Heat gained by the copper:

q = mCΔT

q = (120 g) (0.40 J/g/K) (40°C − 0°C)

q = 1920 J

Heat gained by the water:

q = mCΔT

q = (70 g) (4.2 J/g/K) (40°C − 0°C)

q = 11760 J

Heat gained by the ice:

q = mL + mCΔT

q = (10 g) (320 J/g) + (10 g) (4.2 J/g/K) (40°C − 0°C)

q = 4880 J

Heat lost by the steam:

q = mL + mCΔT

q = m (2200 J/g) + m (4.2 J/g/K) (100°C − 40°C)

q = 2452 J/g m

Plugging the values into the equation:

1920 J + 11760 J + 4880 J = 2452 J/g m

18560 J = 2452 J/g m

m = 7.6 g

Can you think of a scenario when the kinetic and gravitational potential energy could both be zero ? Describe or draw how this c
Inga [223]

Both kinetic and gravitational potential energy can become zero at infinite distance from the Earth.

Consider an object  of mass <em>m </em>projected from the surface of the Earth with a velocity <em>v. </em>

The total energy of the body on the surface of the Earth is the sum of its kinetic energy \frac{1}{2} mv^2and gravitational potential energy -\frac{GMm}{R^2}.

here, <em>M</em> is the mass of the Earth, <em>R</em> is the radius of Earth and <em>G</em> is the universal gravitational constant.

The gravitational potential energy of the object is negative since it is in an attractive field, which is the gravitational field of the Earth.

The energy of the object on the surface of the earth is given by,

E_i=\frac{1}{2} mv^2-\frac{GMm}{R^2}

As the object rises upwards, it experiences deceleration due to the gravitational force of the Earth. Its velocity decreases and hence its kinetic energy decreases.

The decrease in kinetic energy is manifested as  an equal increase in potential energy. The potential energy becomes less and less negative as more and more kinetic energy is converted into potential energy.

At a height <em>h</em> from the surface of the Earth, the energy of the object is given by,

E_h=\frac{1}{2} mv_h^2-\frac{GMm}{(R+h)^2}

The velocity v_h is less than <em>v</em>.

When h =∞, the gravitational potential energy increases from a negative value to zero.

If the velocity of projection is adjusted in such a manner that the velocity decreases to zero at infinite distance from the earth, the object's kinetic energy also becomes equal to zero.

Thus, it is possible for both kinetic and potential energies to be zero at infinite distance from the Earth. In this case, kinetic energy decreases from a positive value to zero and the gravitational potential energy increases from  a negative value to zero.
