Potential energy is mass * gravity * height. (m*g*h).

350 = 17*9.8*h   <--350 is its energy, 17kg is its mass, and 9.8 is gravity's acceleration on the object. We now just need to solve for h.

h = 350/(17 * 9.8) =  2.1 meters, which, when rounded to the nearest whole meter, is 2 meters.

The shelf is 2 meters high.

An 800-g block of ice at 0.00°C is resting in a large bath of water at 0.00°C insulated from the environment. After an entropy c
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Unmeltedd ice = 308.109 g

Explanation:

Gibbs Free energy:

A systems Gibbs Free Energy is defined as the free energy of the product of the absolute temperature and the entropy change less than the enthalpy change.

Therefore, G = ΔH-TΔS

where G is Gibbs Free Energy

          ΔH is enthalpy change

          T is absolute temperature

          ΔS is entropy change

Here since there is a phase change, therefore G will be 0.

∴ΔH = TΔS

Given: Temperature, T = 0°C = 273 K

           Entropy change,ΔS = 600 J/K

           Latent heat of fusion of water = 333 J/g

∴ΔH = TΔS

  ∴ΔH = 273 x 600

           = 163800 J

So this is the amount of enthalpy that will be used into melting of ice.

  ∴ΔH = mass of ice melted x latent heat of fusion of water

    Mass of ice melted = ΔH / latent heat of fusion of water

                                     = 163800 / 333

                                     = 491.891 g

This is the mass of ice melted.

And initial amount of ice is 800 g

Amount of ice left after melting = Initial amount of ice - amount of ice melted

                                                   = 800-491.891

                                                  = 308.109 g

Amount of ice remained after melting = 308.109 g

A jet plane flying 600 m/s experiences an acceleration of 4g when pulling out of the dive. What is the radius of curvature of th
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The radius of the curve is 9,183.67 m.

Explanation:

Given;

velocity of the jet plane, v = 600 m/s

acceleration of the jet plane, a = 4g = 4 x 9.8 m/s² = 39.2 m/s²

The radius of the curve is calculated from centripetal acceleration formula as given below;

a = \frac{v^2}{r} \\\\r = \frac{v^2}{a} \\\\r = \frac{600^2}{39.2} \\\\r = 9,183.67 \ m

Therefore, the radius of the curve is 9,183.67 m.

1.Calculate the energy transferred by a 12V hairdryer, running on a current of 0.50A, that is left on for 8.0 minutes.
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

1. Energy = 2880 Joules.

2. Energy = 60 Joules.

3. Quantity of charge = 120 Coulombs.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

1. Voltage = 12 Volts

Current = 0.5 Amps

Time, t = 8 mins to seconds = 8 * 60 = 480 seconds

To find the energy;

Power = current * voltage

Power = 12 * 0.5

Power = 6 Watts

Next, we find the energy transferred;

Energy = power * time

Energy = 6 * 480

Energy = 2880 Joules

2. Charge, Q = 4 coulombs

Potential difference, p.d = 15V

To find the total energy transferred;

Energy = Q * p.d

Energy = 4 * 15

Energy = 60 Joules

3. Voltage = 6 Volts

Current = 1 Amps

Time = 2 minutes to seconds = 2 * 60 = 120 seconds

To find the quantity of charge;

Quantity of charge = current * time

Quantity of charge = 1 * 120

Quantity of charge = 120 Coulombs
