The ball has height <em>y</em> and velocity <em>v</em> at time <em>t</em> according to

<em>y</em> = <em>v</em>₀ <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g</em> <em>t</em> ²

and

<em>v</em> = <em>v</em>₀ - <em>g t</em>

where <em>v</em>₀ is its initial speed and <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.

The ball is falling with a velocity of 7.94 m/s when it's 2.72 m below the release point, which at time <em>t </em>such that

-2.72 m = <em>v</em>₀ <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g</em> <em>t</em> ²

-7.94 m/s = <em>v</em>₀ - <em>g t</em>

Solve for <em>t</em> in the second equation:

<em>t </em>= (<em>v</em>₀ + 7.94 m/s)/<em>g</em>

Substitute this into the first equation and solve for <em>v</em>₀ :

-2.72 m = <em>v</em>₀ (<em>v</em>₀ + 7.94 m/s) /<em>g</em> - 1/2 <em>g</em> ((<em>v</em>₀ + 7.94 m/s)/<em>g</em>)²

-2.72 m = <em>v</em>₀²/<em>g</em> + (7.94 m/s) <em>v</em>₀/<em>g</em> - 1/2 (<em>v</em>₀ + 7.94 m/s)²/<em>g</em>

2 (-2.72 m) <em>g</em> = 2<em>v</em>₀² + 2 (7.94 m/s) <em>v</em>₀ - (<em>v</em>₀ + 7.94 m/s)²

2 (-2.72 m) (9.80 m/s²) = 2<em>v</em>₀² + (15.9 m/s) <em>v</em>₀ - (<em>v</em>₀² + (15.9 m/s) <em>v</em>₀ + 63.0 m²/s²)

-53.3 m²/s² = <em>v</em>₀² - 63.0 m²/s²

<em>v</em>₀² = 9.73 m²/s²

<em>v</em>₀ = 3.12 m/s

You find it takes 200 J of heat to take 4 kg of an unknown substance from 200 K to 240 K. It does not change phases during this
klasskru [66]

Answer:

300 K

Explanation:

First, we have find the specific heat capacity of the unknown substance.

The heat gained by the substance is given by the formula:

H = m*c*(T2 - T1)

Where m = mass of the substance

c = specific heat capacity

T2 = final temperature

T1 = initial temperature

From the question:

H = 200J

m = 4 kg

T1 = 200K

T2 = 240 K

Therefore:

200 = 4 * c * (240 - 200)

200 = 4 * c * 40

200 = 160 * c

c = 200/160

c = 1.25 J/kgK

The heat capacity of the substance is 1.25 J/kgK.

If 300 J of heat is added, the new heat becomes 500 J.

Hence, we need to find the final temperature, T2, when heat is 500 J.

Using the same formula:

500 = 4 * 1.25 * (T2 - 200)

500 = 5 * (T2 - 200)

100 = T2 - 200

=> T2 = 100 + 200 = 300 K

The new final temperature of the unknown substance is 300K.

How much heat in joules is required to melt an ice cube with a mass of 18.6 g at 0 °C? The Lf for water is 333 J/g.
EastWind [94]

Answer:

The heat energy required, Q = 6193.8 J

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of ice cube, m = 18.6 g

The heat of fusion of ice, ΔHₓ = 333 J/g

The heat energy of a substance is equal to the product of the mass and heat of fusion of that substance. It is given by the equation,

                               <em> Q = m · ΔHₓ     joules</em>

Substituting the given values in the above equation

                                Q = 18.6 g x 333 J/g

                                    = 6193.8 J

Hence, the heat required to melt the ice cube is, Q = 6193.8 J
