Answer:

In space there is no air resistance. on earth there is

in space there is no opposite forces acting on stopping the ball, so if you throw it it will go on forever.

on earth there is air resistance and gravity, this will pull the ball towards the ground and slow it down.

Calculate the amount of heat liberated (in kj) from 411 g of mercury when it cools from 88.0°c to 12.0°c.

Katen [24]

You should note that the melting point of mercury is -38.83°C, while the boiling point is at 356.7°C. Then, that means that there is no latent heat involved here. We only compute for the sensible heat.

ΔH = mCpΔT
The Cp of mercury is 0.14 J/g·°C
Thus,
ΔH = (411 g)(0.14 J/g·°C)(88 - 12°C)
<em>ΔH = 4,373.04 J</em>

A system gains 1500 J of heat, while the internal energy of the system increases by 4500 J and the volume decreases by . Assume

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Hence the pressure is $3\times 10^5 Pa$

Explanation:

Given data

Q=1500 J system gains heat

ΔV=- 0.010 m^3 there is a decrease in volume

ΔU= 4500 J internal energy decrease

We know work done is

W= Q- ΔU

=1500-4500= -3000 J

The change in the volume at constant pressure is

ΔV= W/P

there fore P = W/ΔV= -3000/-0.01= 3×10^5

Hence the pressure is $3\times 10^5 Pa$
