A particle has 37.5 J of kinetic energy and 12.5 J of gravitational potential energy at one point during its fall from a tree to

the ground. An instant before striking the ground, how much mechanical energy-rounded to the nearest Joule-does the particle have? Ignore air resistance.​

Answer: 50J

Explanation:

Mechanical energy follows the same principles of kinetic energy and potential energy, it is conserved. So Ei = Ef.

Mechanical energy is the sum of ALL energy's. There is no friction, so its just kinetic plus potential.

37.5 + 12.5 = 50J

Since the particle has not touched the ground, it has not transferred any energy to the ground yet, therefore the mechanical energy must still be 50J; mostly in kinetic energy with a very small amount of potential because of the low height relative to the ground.

A weather balloon has a volume of 90.0 l when it is released from sea level. What
frozen [14]

The final atmospheric pressure is 5.19\cdot 10^4 Pa

Explanation:

Assuming that the temperature of the air does not change, we can use Boyle's law, which states that for a gas kept at constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to its volume. In formula,

pV=const.

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the volume

The equation can also be rewritten as

p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2

where in our problem we have:

p_1= 1.03\cdot 10^5 Pa is the initial pressure (the atmospheric pressure at sea level)

V_1 = 90.0 L is the initial volume

p_2 is the final pressure

V_2 = 175.0 L is the final volume

Solving the equation for p2, we find the final pressure:

p_2 = \frac{p_1 V_1}{V_2}=\frac{(1.01\cdot 10^5)(90.0)}{175.0}=5.19\cdot 10^4 Pa

Given the thermochemical equations X2+3Y2⟶2XY3ΔH1=−370 kJ X2+2Z2⟶2XZ2ΔH2=−120 kJ 2Y2+Z2⟶2Y2ZΔH3=−270 kJ Calculate the change in
Alchen [17]

Answer : The change in enthalpy of the reaction is, -310 kJ

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. That means the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The given main reaction is,

4XY_3+7Z_2\rightarrow 6Y_2Z+4XZ_2    \Delta H=?

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,

(1) X_2+3Y_2\rightarrow 2XY_3     \Delta H_1=-370kJ

(2) X_2+2Z_2\rightarrow 2XZ_2    \Delta H_2=-120kJ

(3) 2Y_2+Z_2\rightarrow 2Y_2Z    \Delta H_3=-270kJ

Now we will reverse the reaction 1 and multiply reaction 1 by 2, reaction 2 by 2 and reaction 3 by 3 then adding all the equations, we get :

(1) 4XY_3\rightarrow 2X_2+6Y_2     \Delta H_1=2\times (+370kJ)=740kJ

(2) 2X_2+4Z_2\rightarrow 4XZ_2    \Delta H_2=2\times (-120kJ)=-240kJ

(3) 6Y_2+3Z_2\rightarrow 6Y_2Z    \Delta H_3=3\times (-270kJ)=-810kJ

The expression for enthalpy of formation of CH_4 will be,

\Delta H=\Delta H_1+\Delta H_2+\Delta H_3

\Delta H=(+740kJ)+(-240kJ)+(-810kJ)

\Delta H=-310kJ

Therefore, the change in enthalpy of the reaction is, -310 kJ

A 0.07 kg tennis ball, initially at rest, leaves a racket with a speed of 56 m/s. If the ball is in contact with
Naddika [18.5K]

The average force on the ball by the racket is 98 N. The correct option is the third option - 98 N

From the question, we are to determine the average force on the ball by the racket.

From the formula,

F = \frac{mv}{t}

Where F is the force

m is the mass

v is the velocity

and t is the time

From the given information

m = 0.07 kg

v = 56 m/s

t = 0.04 s

Putting the parameters into the formula,

we get

F = \frac{0.07 \times 56}{0.04}

F = \frac{3.92}{0.04}

F = 98 N

Hence, the average force on the ball by the racket is 98 N. The correct option is the third option - 98 N
