Answer:

Explanation:

The mass of the shell can be found by using the formula

$m = \frac{p}{v} \\$

p is the momentum

v is the velocity

From the question we have

$m = \frac{6750}{150} = \frac{675}{15} \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

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 bat can detect small objects such as an insect whose size is approximately equal to the wavelength of the sound the bat makes.

zaharov [31]

Given that,

Frequency emitted by the bat, f = 47.6 kHz

The speed off sound in air, v = 413 m/s

We need to find the wavelength detected by the bat. The speed of a wave is given by formula as follows :

$v=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{413}{47.6\times 10^3}\\\\\lambda=0.00867\ m$

$\lambda=8.67\ mm$

So, the bat can detect small objects such as an insect whose size is approximately equal to the wavelength of the sound the bat makes i.e. 8.67 mm.

A piston of volume 0.1 m3 contains two moles of a monatomic ideal gas at 300K. If it undergoes an isothermal process and expands

seropon [69]

Answer:

the work is done by the gas on the environment -is W= - 3534.94 J (since the initial pressure is lower than the atmospheric pressure , it needs external work to expand)

Explanation:

assuming ideal gas behaviour of the gas , the equation for ideal gas is

P*V=n*R*T

where

P = absolute pressure

V= volume

T= absolute temperature

n= number of moles of gas

R= ideal gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K

P=n*R*T/V

the work that is done by the gas is calculated through

W=∫pdV= ∫ (n*R*T/V) dV

for an isothermal process T=constant and since the piston is closed vessel also n=constant during the process then denoting 1 and 2 for initial and final state respectively:

W=∫pdV= ∫ (n*R*T/V) dV = n*R*T ∫(1/V) dV = n*R*T * ln (V₂/V₁)

since

P₁=n*R*T/V₁

P₂=n*R*T/V₂

dividing both equations

V₂/V₁ = P₁/P₂

W= n*R*T * ln (V₂/V₁) = n*R*T * ln (P₁/P₂ )

replacing values

P₁=n*R*T/V₁ = 2 moles* 8.314 J/mol K* 300K / 0.1 m3= 49884 Pa

since P₂ = 1 atm = 101325 Pa

W= n*R*T * ln (P₁/P₂ ) = 2 mol * 8.314 J/mol K * 300K * (49884 Pa/101325 Pa) = -3534.94 J

What is the kinetic energy of a 1.40 kg discus with a speed of 22.5 m/s?

Oksana_A [137]

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

   = (1/2) (1.4 kg) (22.5 m/s)²

   = (0.7 kg) (506.25 m²/s² )

   = 354.375 kg-m²/s² = 354.375 joules .

This is just the kinetic energy associated with a 1.4-kg glob of
mass sailing through space at 22.5 m/s. In the case of a frisbee,
it's also spinning, and there's some additional kinetic energy stored
in the spin.
