Answer:

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (ending speed) - (beginning speed)

= (3,600 mi/hr) - ( 0 )

= 3,600 mi/hr

= same as 1 mile/second.

Acceleration = (1 mi/sec) / (10 sec)

= 0.1 mi/sec² .

But 1 mile = 5,280 ft,

0.1 mi/s² = 528 ft/s²

Calculate the heat, in kilocalories, that is absorbed if 183 g of ice at 0.0 ∘C is placed in an ice bag, melts, and warms to bod

boyakko [2]

Answer:

The total amount of heat needed will be $Q_T=21.411kcal$ .

Explanation:

We will divide the calculation in two: First, the heat needed to melt the ice, and then the heat needed to warm the resulting liquid from 0°C to 37°C.

$m=183g$

$l_f=80\frac{cal}{g} =334\frac{J}{g}$

$l_w=1\frac{cal}{g} =4.184\frac{J}{g}$

<em>i) </em>The fusion heat will be:

$Q_f=l_fm=14640cal=14.640kcal$

<em>ii)</em> The heat needed to warm the water from $T_i=0^{\circ}C$ to $T_i=37^{\circ}C$ will be:

$Q_w=l_wm(T_f-T_i)=6771cal=6.771kcal$

So, the total amount needed will be the sum of these two results:

$Q_T=Q_f+Q_w=14.640kcal+6.771kcal=21.411kcal$ .

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum conservation

$m2v_0+2mv_0=mv_1+2mv_2 \quad (1/m) \quad 4v_0=v_1+2v_2\\$

Kinetic energy conservation

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}m(2v_0)^2+\frac{1}{2}2mv_0^2=\frac{1}{2}mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2}2mv_2^2 \quad (1/m) \quad 6v_0^2=v_1^2+2v_2^2$

Should nuclear energy be part of sustainable energy future? explain your answer

liraira [26]

Answer:

Nuclear power is presently a sustainable energy source, but could become completely renewable if the source of uranium changed from mined ore to seawater. Since U extracted is continuously replenished through geologic processes, nuclear would become as endless as solar.
