Answer:

The latent heat of vaporization of water is 2.4 kJ/g

Explanation:

The given readings are;

The first (mass) balance reading (of the water) in grams, m₁ = 581 g

The second (mass) balance reading (of the water) in grams, m₂ = 526 g

The first joulemeter reading in kilojoules (kJ), Q₁ = 195 kJ

The second joulemeter reading in kilojoules (kJ), Q₂ = 327 kJ

The latent heat of vaporization = The heat required to evaporate a given mass water at constant temperature

Based on the measurements, we have;

The latent heat of vaporization = ΔQ/Δm

∴ The latent heat of vaporization of water = (327 kJ - 195 kJ)/(581 g - 526 g) = 2.4 kJ/g

The latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.4 kJ/g

To determine the height of a tall building such as Sears Tower in Chicago, Illinois a ball was dropped from the top of the build

Darya [45]

Answer:

The height of Sears Tower is 1448.5 feet.

Explanation:

<h3>We apply the free fall formula to the ball: </h3><h3> $y=v_{o} *t+\frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2}$ </h3><h3>y: The vertical distance the ball moves at time t </h3><h3> $v_{o}$ i: Initial speed </h3><h3>g=Gravity acceleration= $9.8*(\frac{\frac{1ft}{0.305m} }{s^{2} } )$ </h3>

Known information

We know that the vertical distance (y) that the ball moves in 9,5s is equal to height of Sears Tower (h).

Too we know that the ball is released from rest, then, $v_{0}$ =0

Height of Sears Tower calculation:

We replace in the equation 1 the data following;

$y=h$

$v_{o} =0$

$g=32,1\frac{ft}{s^{2} }$

$t= 9,5s$

$h=0*9.5+\frac{1}{2} *32.1*9.5^{2}$

$h=1448.5 ft$

Answer: The height of Sears Tower is 1448.5 ft

A 100 Kg man is diving off a 50 meter cliff. What is his kinetic energy when he is 20 meters from the water?

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

$K.E=29.403125J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass $M=100$

Height $50-20=30m$

Generally the equation for velocity before impact is is is mathematically given by

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

$v=\sqrt{2*9.8*30}$

$v=24.25$

Generally the equation for Kinetic Energy is is mathematically given by

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}*100*(24.25)^2\\$

$K.E=29403.125J$

$K.E=29.403125J$

A 1.90-m-long barbell has a 25.0 kg weight on its left end and a 37.0 kg weight on its right end. if you ignore the weight of th

gregori [183]

Answer: The center of gravity is 1.1338 m away from the left side of the barbell

Explanation:

Length of the barbell = 1.90 m

The distance center of gravity from left = x

Mass on the left side = 25 kg

The distance center of gravity from right = 1.90 - x

Mass on the right side = 37 kg

At the balance point: $m_1x_1=m_2x_2$

$25 kg\times x=37 kg\times (1.90-x)$

$x=1.1338 m$

The center of gravity is 1.1338 m away from the left side of the barbell

What is the magnitude of the momentum of a 3400 kg airplane traveling at a speed of 450 miles per hour?

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The magnitude of momentum of the airplane is $6.83\times 10^5\ kg-m/s$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the airplane, m = 3400 kg

Speed of the airplane, v = 450 miles per hour

Since, 1 mile per hour = 0.44704 m/s

v = 201.16 m/s

We need to find the magnitude of momentum of the airplane. It is given by the product of mas and velocity such that,

$p=mv$

$p=3400\ kg\times 201.16 \ m/s$

$p=683944\ kg-m/s$

or

$p=6.83\times 10^5\ kg-m/s$

So, the magnitude of momentum of the airplane is $6.83\times 10^5\ kg-m/s$ . Hence, this is the required solution.
