M/sec = 112 km / 1 hr / 1 min / 1000 meters
hr / 60 min / 60 sec / 1 km

So the answer is = 31.1 meters/sec

Would the water in a pond or the water in a full bathtub have more thermal energy? Explain why.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Thermal energy is defined as the total kinetic energy of all particles in an object. Even though the cup of water has a higher temperature, the bathtub has more thermal energy because it contains much more mass of water compared to the cup.

If the cylindrical pistons are 25.000 cm in diameter at 20.0 ∘c, what should be the minimum diameter of the cylinders at that te

attashe74 [19]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

The piston supports the same load W at both temperatures.
The ideal gas law is
$pV=nRT$
where
p = pressure
V = volume
n = moles
T = temperature
R = gas constant

State 1:
T₁ = 20 C = 20+273 = 293 K
d₁ = 25 cm piston diameter

State 2:
T₂ = 150 C = 423 K
d₂ = piston diameter

Because V, n, and R remain the same between the two temperatures, therefore
$\frac{p_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{p_{2}}{T_{2}}$

If the supported load is W kg, then
$p_{1} = \frac{W \, N}{ \frac{\pi}{4} d_{1}^{2}} = \frac{4W \, N}{\pi (0.25 \, m)^{2}} = 20.3718W \, Pa$
Similarly,
$p_{2} = \frac{4W}{\pi d_{2}^{2}} \, Pa$

$\frac{p_{1}}{p_{2}} = \frac{20.3718 \pi d_{2}^{2}}{4} = 16 d_{2}^{2}$

Because p₁/p₂ = T₁/T₂, therefore
$16d_{2}^{2} = \frac{293}{423} \\\\ d_{2}^{2} = \frac{0.6927}{16} \\\\ d_{2} = 0.2081 \, m$

The minimum piston diameter at 150 C is 20.8 cm.

Answer: 20.8 cm diameter
