What is the melting point of sand

1 answer:

8 0

The kind of heat necessary to transform sand into a liquid state (eventually becoming glass) is much hotter than any sunny day. To make sand melt, you need to heat it to roughly 1700°C (3090°F), which is approximately the same temperature a space shuttle reaches as it re-enters earth's atmosphere.

nasty-shy [4]

Given:
Water, 2 kilograms
T1 = 20 degrees Celsius, T2 = 100 degrees Celsius.

Required:
Heat produced

Solution:
Q (heat) = nRT = nR(T2 = T1)
Q (heat) = 2 kilograms (4.184 kiloJoules per kilogram Celsius) (100 degrees Celsius – 20 degrees Celsius)
<u>Q (heat) = 669.42 Joules
</u>This is the amount of heat produced in boiling 2 kg of water.

A 1.2 kg block is held at rest against the spring with a force constant k= 730 N/m. Initially, the spring is compressed a distan

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Compression distance: $d \approx 0.102\,m$

Explanation:

According to this statement, we know that system is non-conservative due to the rough patch. By Principle of Energy Conservation and Work-Energy Theorem, we have the following expression that represents the system having a translational kinetic energy ( $K$ ), in joules, at the expense of elastic potential energy ( $U$ ), in joules, and overcoming work losses due to friction ( $W_{l}$ ), in joules:

$K + W_{l} = U$ (1)

By definitions of translational kinetic and elastic potential energies and work losses due to friction, we expand the equation described above:

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2} +\mu\cdot m\cdot g \cdot s = \frac{1}{2} \cdot k \cdot d^{2}$ (2)

Where:

$m$ - Mass of the block, in kilograms.

$v$ - Final velocity of the block, in meters per second.

$\mu$ - KInetic coefficient of friction, no unit.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, in meters per square second.

$s$ - Width of the rough patch, in meters.

$k$ - Spring constant, in newtons per meter.

$d$ - Compression distance, in meters.

If we know that $m = 1.2\,kg$ , $v = 2.3\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $\mu = 0.44$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $s = 0.05\,m$ and $k = 730\,\frac{N}{m}$ , then the compression distance of the spring is:

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2} +\mu\cdot m\cdot g \cdot s = \frac{1}{2} \cdot k \cdot d^{2}$

$m\cdot v^{2} + 2\cdot m\cdot g \cdot s = k\cdot d^{2}$

$d = \sqrt{\frac{m\cdot (v^{2}+2\cdot g\cdot s)}{k} }$

$d \approx 0.102\,m$

Two identical 0.50-kg carts, each 0.10 m long, are at rest on a low-friction track and are connected by a spring that is initial

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The system's kinetic energy changes by 3.6 J

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The number of cart = 2

The mass of each cart = 0.5kg

The initial length of the spring = 0.50 m

The final length of the spring =T0.3 m

The change in position of the first cart = 0.6 m

The energy given to the first cart = Work done by the force = Force × Displacement

The initial kinetic energy of the two cart moving together = Energy given to the first cart = 6.0 × 0.2 = 1.2J

The kinetic energy given to the two cart combined = The applied force × The total displacement of the two cart as they move together

The kinetic energy given to the two cart combined = 6.0 × (0.6 - 0.2)

The kinetic energy given to the two cart combined = 6.0 × 0.4 = 2.4 J

The total kinetic energy given to the two cart = 1.2 + 2.4 = 3.6 J

The total kinetic energy given to the two cart = 3.6 J

The system's kinetic energy changes by 3.6 J.
