This problem has been solved! See the answer A 6.0 kg object, initially at rest in free space, "explodes" into three segments of

equal mass. Two of these segments are observed to be moving with equal speeds of 20 m/s with an angle of 60 degrees between their directions of motion. How much kinetic energy is released in this explosion?

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of each part = 6 / 3 = 2 kg .

momentum of each of given part = 2 x 20 = 40 kg m/s

Two momentum of 40 kg m/s , acting at angle 60 degree .

Resultant momentum =  2 x 40 cos 30 = 69.28 kg m/s

The third mass will have equal and opposite momentum to this momentum , following law of conservation of momentum .

If its velocity be v .

2 x v = 69.28

v = 34.64 m /s

Third mass will have velocity of 34.64 m /s

Total kinetic energy of all three mass

KE = 1/2 x 2 ( 20² + 20² + 34.64² )

= 400 + 400 + 1199.92

= 1999.93 J .

An inventor claims to have developed a food freezer that, in steady-state conditions, requires a power input of 0.25 kW to extra
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The inventors  claim is not real

a)  No the the freezer cannot operate in such conditions

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  power input is  P_i  = 0.25 kW  =  0.25 *10^{3} \ W

      The  rate of heat transfer J  =  3050 J/s

       The temperature of the freezer content is T = 270 \ K

       The  ambient temperature is  T_a  =  293 \ K

Generally the coefficient of performance of a refrigerator at idea conditions is mathematically represented as

      COP  =  \frac{T }{Ta - T}

substituting values

     COP  =  \frac{270 }{293 - 270}

     COP  =11.7

Generally the coefficient of performance of a refrigerator at real conditions is mathematically represented as

       COP  =  \frac{J}{P_i}

substituting values

       COP  =  \frac{3050}{0.25 *10^{3}}

       COP  = 12.2

Now given that the COP  of an ideal refrigerator is  less that that of a real refrigerator then the claims of the inventor is rejected

This is because the there are loss in the real refrigerator cycle that are suppose to reduce the COP compared to an ideal refrigerator cycle where there no loss that will reduce the COP
