Answer:

heat energy =mc∆t

Q = 4×385×[33-15]

Q = 4×385×18

Q = 27720joule

A hockey puck is sliding at a constant rate of 2m/s on a frictionless surface. How fast will the puck be moving after 10 sec

AnnyKZ [126]

2m/s because the hockey puck is traveling at a constant speed ( acceleration is 0 ). Unless something acts on the hockey puck it will travel 2 m/s forever.

A diffraction pattern forms when light passes through a single slit. The wavelength of the light is 691 nm. Determine the angle

expeople1 [14]

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of the light, $\lambda=691\ nm=691\times 10^{-9}\ m$

(a) Slit width, $a=3.8\times 10^{-4}\ m$

The angle that locates the first dark fringe is given by :

$sin\theta=\dfrac{\lambda}{a}$

$sin\theta=\dfrac{691\times 10^{-9}}{3.8\times 10^{-4}}$

$\theta=0.104^{\circ}$

(b) Slit width, $a=3.8\times 10^{-6}\ m$

The angle that locates the first dark fringe is given by :

$sin\theta=\dfrac{\lambda}{a}$

$sin\theta=\dfrac{691\times 10^{-9}}{3.8\times 10^{-6}}$

$\theta=10.47^{\circ}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Calculate the change in total internal energy for a system that releases 2.59 × 104 kJ of heat and does 6.46 × 104 kJ of work on

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

The equation to use for this is the following:

dU = q + w

As the heat is being release, this value is negative, and same here happens with the work done, because it's in the surroundings.

Therefore the change in the energy would be:

dU = -2.59x10^4 - 6.46^4

dU = -9.05x10^4 kJ

A car moves in a straight line at 22.0 m/s for 10.0miles, then at 30.0 m/s for another 10.0miles. Calculate the car’s average sp

maw [93]

Answer: 25.38 m/s

Explanation:

We have a straight line where the car travels a total distance $D$ , which is divided into two segments $d=10 miles$ :

$D=d+d=2d$ (1)

Where $d=10mi \frac{1609.34 m}{1 mi}=16093.4 m$

On the other hand, we know speed is defined as:

$S=\frac{d}{t}$ (2)

Where $t$ is the time, which can be isolated from (2):

$t=\frac{d}{S}$ (3)

Now, for the first segment $d=16093.4 m$ the car has a speed $S_{1}=22m/s$ , using equation (3):

$t_{1}=\frac{d}{S_{1}}$ (4)

$t_{1}=\frac{16093.4 m}{22m/s}$ (5)

$t_{1}=731.518 s$ (6) This is the time it takes to travel the first segment

For the second segment $d=16093.4 m$ the car has a speed $S_{1}=30m/s$ , hence:

$t_{2}=\frac{d}{S_{2}}$ (7)

$t_{2}=\frac{16093.4 m}{30m/s}$ (8)

$t_{2}=536.44 s$ (9) This is the time it takes to travel the secons segment

Having these values we can calculate the car's average speed $S_{ave}$ :

$S_{ave}=\frac{d + d}{t_{1} + t_{2}}=\frac{2d}{t_{1} + t_{2}}$ (10)

$S_{ave}=\frac{2(16093.4 m)}{731.518 s +536.44 s}$ (11)

Finally:

$S_{ave}=25.38 m/s$
