Explain how energy transformations are different from physical processes

Physics
1 answer:
kumpel [21]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Start with physical processes.

Phase: if a chemical changes phase (going from solid to liquid or liquid to gas) , the chemical properties remain in tact. They may be harder to get but they are still there.

Color: sometimes there is a change in color. Chemical properties are more likely to change color, but a phase change can bring about a color change (eg hydrogen). The chemical properties are still there although dormant.

There is a term for the way sugar dissolves in water. I cannot find it. But it is an example of a physical change were heat is produced (very small) when sugar is added to water. If you were to boil the water off, the remaining solid (sugar) would have all the properties it had before being put into the water. No bonds have been broken, So the heat comes from a different form of reaction. And no real chemical reaction has taken place.

=====================

Chemical properties: the main one is the breaking of bonds. When that happens, sometimes the reaction is reversible, sometimes not. A well known chemical reaction taking place in the laboratory is

NO2 - Heat ===> N2O4

which takes place in a sealed tube or a sealed peace of glass tubing.

When heat is added (this may go beyond what you know so just read the results) the equation goes to the left. NO2 is brownish red in color (more brown than red).

If heat is removed and the tube is put in ice water, the equation shifts to the right. N2O4 is colorless.

Result: the reaction is chemical. Bonds have been broken or reformed. This result is reversible. You can add or take away heat all day long and the general make up of what is in the tube remains unchanged even though bonds have been broken.

A more common chemical reaction is one like this one.

CH4 + 202 ===> CO2 + 2H2O

Once the methane (CH4) has been burned, the reaction can no longer go back to what it was. Bonds are broken. They stay broken.

If heat is taken away, more N2O4 is produced

A 1750-kilogram cars travels at a constant speed of 15.0 meters per second around a horizontal, circular track with a radius of
bulgar [2K]

m = mass of the car moving in horizontal circle = 1750 kg

v = Constant speed of the car moving in the horizontal circle = 15 m/s

r = radius of the horizontal circular track traced by the car = 45.0 m

F = magnitude of the centripetal force acting on the car

To move in a circle . centripetal force is required which is given as

F = m v²/r

inserting the above values in the formula

F = (1750) (15)²/(45)

F = (1750) (225)/(45)

F = 1750 x 5

F = 8750 N

You pull with a force of 295 N on a rope that is attached to a block of mass 22 kg, and the block slides across the floor at a c
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Fnet = 0

Explanation:

  • Since the block slides across the floor at constant speed, this means that it's not accelerated.
  • According Newton's 2nd Law, if the acceleration is zero, the net force on the sliding mass must be zero.
  • This means that there must be a friction force opposing to the horizontal component of the applied force, equal in magnitude to it:

       F_{appx} = F_{app} * cos \theta = 295 N * cos 35 = 242 N  (1)

  • In the vertical direction, the block is not accelerated either, so the sum of the normal force and the vertical component of the applied force, must be equal in magnitude to the force of gravity on the block:

      F_{appy} = F_{app} * cos \theta = 295 N * sin 35 = 169 N  (2)

⇒    169 N + Fn = Fg = 216 N  (3)

  • This means that there must be a normal force equal to the difference between Fappy and Fg, as follows:
  • Fn = 216 N - 169 N = 47  N (4)
