You tie a cord to a pail of water and swing the pail in a vertical circle of radius 0.710 mm . What minumum speed must the pail

have at its highest point if no water is to spill from it?

Answer:

The minumum speed the pail must have at its highest point if no water is to spill from it

= 2.64 m/s

Explanation:

Working with the forces acting on the water in the pail at any point.

The weight of water is always directed downwards.

The normal force exerted on the water by the pail is always directed towards the centre of the circle of the circular motion.

And the centripetal force, which keeps the system in its circular motion, is the net force as a result of those two previously mentioned force.

At the highest point of the motion, the top of the vertical circle, the weight and the normal force on the water are both directed downwards.

Net force = W + (normal force)

But the speed of this motion can be lowered enough to a point where the normal force becomes zero at the moment the pail reaches the highest point of its motion. Any speed lower than this value would result in the water spilling out of the pail. The water would not be able to resist the force of gravity.

At this point of minimum velocity,

Normal force = 0

Net force = W

Net force = centripetal force = (mv²/r)

W = mg

(mv²/r) = mg

r = 0.710 m

g = 9.8 m/s²

v² = gr = 9.8 × 0.71 = 6.958

v = √(6.958) = 2.64 m/s

Hope this Helps!!!

Describe the energy change in the particles of a substance during melting. A) The kinetic energy of the particles remains unchan
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

As ice melts into water, kinetic energy is being added to the particles. This causes them to be 'excited' and they break the bonds that hold them together as a solid, resulting in a change of state: solid -> liquid.

Explanation:

As we may know, the change in state of an object is due to the change in the average kinetic energy of the particles.

This average kinetic energy is proportional to the temperature of the particles.

This is because heat is a form of energy; by adding energy to ice - heat, you "excite" the water molecules, breaking the interactions in the lattice structure and forming weaker, looser hydrogen-bonding interactions.

This causes the ice to melt. This is demonstrated in the image below.

More generally, when you remove energy - the object cools down, the particles move a lot slower. So slow, that they individually attract other molecules more than before, and this results in a physical change that also changes the state.

klemol [59]

Answer:

it is True as the operational definition of electric current.

Explanation:

The definition of electric current is

         I = dQ / dt

By convention the direction of the current is the direction in which a positive charge flows.

The initial expression is the derivative that is the change of the load in the unit of time and this occurs in a given cross-sectional cable.

The proposed definition is the same as this, so it is True as the operational definition of electric current.

Consider the reaction, X + 2Y → XY2 If X and Y are completely consumed in the reaction and we start with 10.0 mol of Y, then how
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

In the reaction you would have 15.0 mols of Y and X.

Explanation:

The stoichiometric coefficents for X and Y are 1 and 2 respectively, if you start the reaction with 10.0 moles of Y you would need 5.0 moles of X in order to achieve a complete reaction so you will have 15.0 total moles in the reaction, assuming no mass loss and no nuclear reactions.

Question 17 A sample of iron is put into a calorimeter (see sketch at right) that contains of water. The iron sample starts off
ivanzaharov [21]

Complete Question:

A 59.1 g sample of iron is put into a calorimeter (see sketch attached) that contains 100.0 g of water. The iron sample starts off at 85.0 °C and the temperature of the water starts off at 23.0 °C. When the temperature of the water stops changing it's 27.6 °C. The pressure remains constant at 1 atm.

Calculate the specific heat capacity of iron according to this experiment. Be sure your answer is rounded to the correct number of significant digits

(Question attached)

Answer:

c_{iron}=0.568 J/kg.\°C

c_{iron}=0.6 J/kg.\°C (rounded to 1 decimal place)

Explanation:

A calorimeter is used to measure the heat of chemical or physical reactions. The example given in the question is using the calorimeter to determine the specific heat capacity of iron.

When the system reaches equilibrium the iron and water will be the same temperature, T_{e}. The energy lost from the iron will be equal to the energy gained by the water. It is assumed that the only heat exchange is between the iron and water and no exchange with the surroundings.

Q=mc(T_{e}-T_{initial}) (Eq 1)

-Q_{iron}=Q_{water} (Eq 2)

Water:

m_{water}=100.0 g, c_{water}=4.186 J/kg.\°C, T_{initial,water}=23 \°C, T_{e}=27.6 \°C

Iron:

m_{iron}=59.1 g, c_{iron} = ? J/kg.\°C, T_{initial,iron}=85 \°C, T_{e}=27.6 \°C

Substituting Eq 1 into Eq 2 and details extracted from the question:

-m_{iron}c_{iron}(T_{iron,e}-T_{initial})=m_{water}c_{water}(T_{water,e}-T_{initial})

-59.1*c_{iron}(27.6-85)=100.0*4.186(27.6-23)

c_{iron}=0.568 J/kg.\°C

c_{iron}=0.6 J/kg.\°C
