Answer:

Average speed = 1.2 m/s

Average velocity = 0.4 m/s

Explanation:

Average speed = total distance/total time

Average speed = (40 + 20)/(40 + 10)

Average speed = 60/50

Average speed = 1.2 m/s

Average velocity = displacement/time

Now, she ran 40 m south and ran 20 m back north which is in the direction of where she began the journey.

Thus;

Displacement = 40 - 20 = 20 m

Average velocity = 20/50 = 0.4 m/s

A mechanic uses a mechanical lift to raise a car. The car weighs 11,000 N. The lift raises the car 2.5 m.
KengaRu [80]

Potential energy = (weight) x (height)

After the car has been raised 2.5 meters, it has

                 (11,000) x (2.5) = 27,500 Joules

MORE potential energy than it had before it was lifted.

That's the energy that has to come from the work you do to lift it.

Since no mechanical process is ever 100% efficient, the work required
to accomplish this task is <em>at least  27,500 joules</em>.

What change in entropy occurs when a 0.15 kg ice cube at -18 °C is transformed into steam at 120 °c 4.
Studentka2010 [4]

<u>Answer:</u> The change in entropy of the given process is 1324.8 J/K

<u>Explanation:</u>

The processes involved in the given problem are:

1.)H_2O(s)(-18^oC,255K)\rightarrow H_2O(s)(0^oC,273K)\\2.)H_2O(s)(0^oC,273K)\rightarrow H_2O(l)(0^oC,273K)\\3.)H_2O(l)(0^oC,273K)\rightarrow H_2O(l)(100^oC,373K)\\4.)H_2O(l)(100^oC,373K)\rightarrow H_2O(g)(100^oC,373K)\\5.)H_2O(g)(100^oC,373K)\rightarrow H_2O(g)(120^oC,393K)

Pressure is taken as constant.

To calculate the entropy change for same phase at different temperature, we use the equation:

\Delta S=m\times C_{p,m}\times \ln (\frac{T_2}{T_1})      .......(1)

where,

\Delta S = Entropy change

C_{p,m} = specific heat capacity of medium

m = mass of ice = 0.15 kg = 150 g    (Conversion factor: 1 kg = 1000 g)

T_2 = final temperature

T_1 = initial temperature

To calculate the entropy change for different phase at same temperature, we use the equation:

\Delta S=m\times \frac{\Delta H_{f,v}}{T}      .......(2)

where,

\Delta S = Entropy change

m = mass of ice

\Delta H_{f,v} = enthalpy of fusion of vaporization

T = temperature of the system

Calculating the entropy change for each process:

  • <u>For process 1:</u>

We are given:

m=150g\\C_{p,s}=2.06J/gK\\T_1=255K\\T_2=273K

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\Delta S_1=150g\times 2.06J/g.K\times \ln(\frac{273K}{255K})\\\\\Delta S_1=21.1J/K

  • <u>For process 2:</u>

We are given:

m=150g\\\Delta H_{fusion}=334.16J/g\\T=273K

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

\Delta S_2=\frac{150g\times 334.16J/g}{273K}\\\\\Delta S_2=183.6J/K

  • <u>For process 3:</u>

We are given:

m=150g\\C_{p,l}=4.184J/gK\\T_1=273K\\T_2=373K

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\Delta S_3=150g\times 4.184J/g.K\times \ln(\frac{373K}{273K})\\\\\Delta S_3=195.9J/K

  • <u>For process 4:</u>

We are given:

m=150g\\\Delta H_{vaporization}=2259J/g\\T=373K

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

\Delta S_2=\frac{150g\times 2259J/g}{373K}\\\\\Delta S_2=908.4J/K

  • <u>For process 5:</u>

We are given:

m=150g\\C_{p,g}=2.02J/gK\\T_1=373K\\T_2=393K

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\Delta S_5=150g\times 2.02J/g.K\times \ln(\frac{393K}{373K})\\\\\Delta S_5=15.8J/K

Total entropy change for the process = \Delta S_1+\Delta S_2+\Delta S_3+\Delta S_4+\Delta S_5

Total entropy change for the process = [21.1+183.6+195.9+908.4+15.8]J/K=1324.8J/K

Hence, the change in entropy of the given process is 1324.8 J/K

Find the wavelength λ of the 80.0-khz wave emitted by the bat. express your answer in millimeters.
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

4.29 millimeters

Explanation:

Bats emit ultrasound waves: in air, ultrasound waves travel at a speed of

v=343 m/s

The frequency of the waves emitted by this bat is:

f=80.0 kHz = 80,000 Hz

Therefore we can find the wavelength of the wave emitted by the bat by using the relationship between speed, frequency and wavelength:

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{343 m/s}{80,000 Hz}=4.29\cdot 10^{-3} m=4.29 mm
