Hello!

We have the following data:

KE (Kinetic Energy) = 480 J
m (mass) = ? (in Kg)
v (speed) = 8 m/s

Formula to calculate kinetic energy:

 $KE = \frac{1}{2} *m*v^2$

Solving:

 $KE = \frac{1}{2} *m*v^2$

$480 = \frac{1}{2} *m*8^2$

$480 = \frac{1}{2} *m*64$

$480*2 = 64*m$

$960 = 64m$

$64m = 960$

$m = \frac{960}{64}$

$\boxed{\boxed{m = 15\:Kg}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark$

KE=1/2*m*v^2
So 480=1/2 * m * 8^2
480=1/2 * m * 64
480=32 * m
480/32=m
15=m

Answer:

Explanation:

Fahrenheit scale is a temperature scale that measures the boiling point of water at 212 degrees F and the freezing point at 32 degrees F. The Fahrenheit scale was developed by the German scientist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724.

In the given scenario, the scientist, who wishes to measure the temperature of her experiment which will expectantly be colder than the point of water, should use the Fahrenheit scale.

So, the correct answer is option C.

Answer:

ΔS=2*m*Cp*ln((T1+T2)/(2*(T1*T2)^1/2))

Explanation:

The concepts and formulas that I will use to solve this exercise are the integration and the change in the entropy of the universe. To calculate the final temperature of the water the expression for the equilibrium temperature will be used. Similarly, to find the change in entropy from cold to hot water, the equation of the change of entropy will be used. In the attached image is detailed the step by step of the resolution.
