How do the units that are used to measure heat differ from the units that are used to measure temperature?

During a snowball fight two balls with masses of 0.4 kg and 0.6 kg, respectively, are thrown in such a manner that they meet hea

valkas [14]

Considering conservation of momentum;
m1v1 + m2v2 = m3v3

In which,
m1 = mass of snowball 1 = 0.4 kg
v1 = velocity of snowball 1 = 15 m/s
m2 = mass of snowball 2 = 0.6 kg
v2 = velocity of snow ball 2 = 15 m/s
m3 = combined mass = 1 kg
v3 = velocity after comination
Therefore;
0.4*15 + 0.6*15 = 1*v3
v3 = 6+9 = 15 m/s
KE = 1/2mv^2

Then,
KE1 = 1/2*0.4*15^2 = 45 J
KE2 = 1/2*0.6*15^2 = 67.5 J
KE3 = 1/2*1*15^2 = 112.5 J

Therefore, KE3 (kinetic energy after collision) = K1+K2 {kinetic energy before collision). And thus it is 100%.

. The artificial sweetener NutraSweet is a chemical called aspartame (C14H18N2O5). What is (a) its molecular mass (in atomic mas

loris [4]

The molecular mass, in atomic mass unit, of aspartame would be 294 amu while the mass, in kg, of an aspartame molecule would be 0.294 kg

Aspartame has the chemical formula C14H18N2O5

C = 12, H = 1, N = 14, O = 16

(a) Molecular weight = (12x14) + (1x18) + (14x2) + (16x5)

= 168 + 18 + 28 + 80

= 294 amu

(b) Mass of 1 molecule of aspartame = mole x molar mass

= 1 x 294

= 294 g

Converting 294 g to kg = 294/1000

= 0.294 kg

Un tubo de acero de 40000 kilómetros forma un anillo que se ajusta bien a la circunferencia de la tierra. Imagine que las person

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

82.76m

Explanation:

In order to find the distance of the steel ring to the ground, when its temperature has raised by 1°C, you first calculate the radius of the steel tube before its temperature increases.

You use the formula for the circumference of the steel ring:

$C=2\pi r$ (1)

C: circumference of the ring = 40000 km = 4*10^7m (you assume the circumference is the length of the steel tube)

you solve for r in the equation (1):

$r=\frac{C}{2\pi}=\frac{4*10^7m}{2\pi}=6,366,197.724m$

Next, you use the following formula to calculate the change in the length of the tube, when its temperature increases by 1°C:

$L=Lo[1+\alpha \Delta T]$ (2)

L: final length of the tube = ?

Lo: initial length of the tube = 4*10^7m

ΔT = change in the temperature of the steel tube = 1°C

α: thermal coefficient expansion of steel = 13*10^-6 /°C

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (2):

$L=(4*10^7m)(1+(13*10^{-6}/ \°C)(1\°C))=40,000,520m$

With the new length of the tube, you can calculate the radius of a ring formed with the tube. You again solve the equation (1) for r:

$r'=\frac{C}{2\pi}=\frac{40,000,520m}{2\pi}=6,366,280.484m$

Finally, you compare both r and r' radius:

r' - r = 6,366,280.484m - 6,366,197.724m = 82.76m

Hence, the distance to the ring from the ground is 82.76m

One end of the rope is vibrated to produce a wave with a wavelength of .25 m. The Frequency

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Wave speed = 1.25 m/s

Explanation:

Given that the

wavelength = 0.25 m.

Frequency F = 5.0 Hz

The speed of a wave is the product of wave frequency and the wavelength. That is

V = F λ

Where

V = wave speed (m/s)

λ = wavelength (m).

F = frequency (Hz).

Using the formula above gives:

V = 0.25 × 5

V = 1.25 m/s
