The formula shown below is used to calculate the energy released when a specific quantity of fuel is burned. Calculate the energ

y released by a burning sample of fuel if the temperature of 100g of water was raised by 20 °C. (Specific heat capacity of water = 4200J/kg °C)

Answer: 8400 J

Explanation:

The formula referenced in the question is:

Q=m. c. \Delta T  

Where:

Q  is the thermal energy

m=100g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.1 kg is the mass  of the water sample

c=4200 \frac{J}{kg\°C}  is the specific heat capacity of  water

\Delta T=20\°C  is the variation in temperature

Solving:

Q=(0.1 kg)(4200 \frac{J}{kg\°C})(20\°C)  

Q=8400 J  This is the thermal energy released

What is the mass of a 2 kg object on the Earth and on the moon?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Same

Explanation:

Mass is the quantity of matter in a certain object.

WHEREVER you take a 2kg object, the mass will remain 2kg. All that changes is the Weight ..Weight the force which the centre of a Planet uses to pull everything towards itself.

On earth, it is 9.81 whereas on the Moon it is 1.6

A sample contains radioactive atoms of two types, A and B. Initially there are five times as many A atoms as there are B atoms.
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initially no of atoms of A = N₀(A)

Initially no of atoms of B = N₀(B)

5 X N₀(A)  = N₀(B)

N = N₀ e^{-\lambda t}

N is no of atoms after time t , λ is decay constant and t is time .

For A

N(A) = N(A)₀ e^{-\lambda_1 t}

For B

N(B) = N(B)₀ e^{-\lambda_2 t}

N(A) = N(B) , for t = 2 h

N(A)₀ e^{-\lambda_1 t} = N(B)₀ e^{-\lambda_2 t}

N(A)₀ e^{-\lambda_1 t} = 5 x N₀(A)  e^{-\lambda_2 t}

e^{-\lambda_1 t} = 5  e^{-\lambda_2 t}

e^{\lambda_2 t} = 5  e^{\lambda_1 t}

half life = .693 / λ

For A

.77 =  .693 / λ₁

λ₁ = .9 h⁻¹

e^{\lambda_2 t} = 5  e^{\lambda_1 t}

Putting t = 2 h , λ₁ = .9 h⁻¹

e^{\lambda_2\times  2} = 5  e^{.9\times  2}

e^{\lambda_2\times  2} = 30.25

2 x λ₂ = 3.41

λ₂ = 1.7047

Half life of B = .693 / 1.7047

= .4065 hours .

= .41 hours .

An ion's position vector is initially r with arrow = 7.0i hat â 7.0j + 1.0k, and 5.0 s later it is r with arrow = 7.0i hat + 7.0
harkovskaia [24]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Shown in the explanation

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Position vector of a  particle at a given instant is given by:

\vec{r}=x\hat{i}+y\hat{j}+z\hat{k}

On the other hand, the average velocity is the change in the particle’s position vector divided by time interval:

\vec{v}=\frac{\Delta \vec{r}}{\Delta t}=\frac{\vec{r_{2}}-\vec{r_{1}} }{t_{2}-t_{1}} \\ \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ \\ \vec{r_{1}}: Initial \ position \\ \\ \vec{r_{2}}: Final \ position \\ \\ t_{1}:Initial \ time \\ \\ t_{2}:Final \ time

So we have:

\vec{r_{1}}=7\hat{i}+7\hat{j}+1\hat{k} \\ \\ \vec{r_{2}}=7\hat{i}+7\hat{j}+8\hat{k} \\ \\ \\ Then: \\ \\ \Delta \vec{r} = \vec{r_{2}}-\vec{r_{1}}=7\hat{i}+7\hat{j}+8\hat{k}-(7\hat{i}+7\hat{j}+1\hat{k}) \\ \\ \Delta \vec{r}=7\hat{k} \\ \\ \\ We \ also \ know: \\ \\ \Delta t=5s

Finally, the average velocity is:

\vec{v}=\frac{\Delta \vec{r}}{\Delta t} \\ \\ \\ \vec{v}=\frac{7\hat{k}}{5} \\ \\ \boxed{\vec{v}=\frac{7}{5}\hat{k} \ units/s}
