Answer:

Two things can happen to old satellites: For the closer satellites, engineers will use its last bit of fuel to slow it down so it will fall out of orbit and burn up in the atmosphere. Further satellites are instead sent even farther away from Earth.

How much heat is required to raise 100 grams of water (c= 4.18) by 5 degrees Celsius?

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Heat capacity, Q = 2090 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 100 grams

Specific heat capacity = 4.18 J/g°C.

Temperature = 5°C

To find the quantity of heat required;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

$Q = mct$

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

t represents the temperature of an object.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

$Q = 100*4.18*5$

Heat capacity, Q = 2090 Joules.

A person with a mass of 72 kg is riding a bicycle is accelerating at a rate of 5m/s on a horizontal surface. What is the weight

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

w = 706.32 [N]

Explanation:

The force due to gravitational acceleration can be calculated by means of the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

w = m*g

where:

w = weight [N] (units of Newtons)

m = mass = 72 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

Then we have:

$w = 72*9.81\\w = 706.32 [N]$

A large uniform chain is hanging from the ceiling, supporting a block of mass 46 kg. The mass of the chain itself is 19 kg, and

docker41 [41]

Answer:

T = 451.26 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

The mass of block, m = 46 kg

Mass of the chain, m' = 19 kg

Length of the chain, l = 1.9 m

Let T is the the tension in the chain at the point where the chain is supporting the block. It is clearly equal to the product of mass and acceleration.

$T=mg$

$T=46\ kg\times 9.81\ m/s^2$

T = 451.26 N

So, the tension in the chain at the point where the chain is supporting the block is 451.26 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

PROBLEM 5 (Problem 4-145 in 7th edition) Consider a well-insulated horizontal rigid cylinder that is divided into two compartmen

kari74 [83]

Answer:

The answer is " $\bold{83.8^{\circ} \ C}$ ".

Explanation:

Formula for calculating the mass in He:

$\to m = \frac{PV}{RT}\\$

$= \frac{500 \times 1}{ 2.0769 \times (40 + 273)}\\\\ = \frac{500 }{ 2.0769 \times 313}\\\\ = \frac{500 }{ 650.0697}\\\\= 0.76914 \ Kg$

Formula for calculating the mass in $N_2$ :

$\to m = \frac{PV}{RT}\\$

$= \frac{500 \times 1}{ 0.2968 \times (120+ 273)}\\\\ = \frac{500 }{ 0.2968 \times 393}\\\\ = \frac{500 }{ 116.6424}\\\\= 4.2866\ Kg$

by using the temperature balancing the equation:

$T' = \frac{mcT (He) + mcT ( N_2 )}{ mc (He) + mc ( N_2)}$

$= \frac{0.76914 \times 3.1156 \times 313 + 4.2866 \times 0.743 \times393}{ 0.76914 \times 3.1156 + 4.2866 \times 0.743} \\\\ = 357 \ \ K \approx 83.8^{\circ} \ C$
