2.) This slope will give you the change in weight (Newtons) per second. Knowing the latent heat of vaporization for liquid nitrogen, determine dQ/dt. Use the value LV=2.00×105 J/kg. Show your calculations here.
43. The escape velocity from the Moon is much smaller than from Earth and is only 2.38 km/s. At what temperature would hydrogen molecules (molecular mass is equal to 2.016 g/mol) have an average velocity vms equal to the Moon's escape velocity?
3. It has been suggested that the surface melting of ices plays a role in enabling speed skaters to achieve peak performance. Carry out the following calculation to test this hypothesis. At 1 atm pressure, ice melts at 273.15 K, AH fusion=6010 J mol-¹, the density of ice is 920 kg m-³, and the density of water is 997 kg m-³. A. What pressure is required to lower the melting point by 4 °C? B. Assume that the width of the skate in contact with the ice has been reduced by sharpening to 19x10-³ cm, and the length of the contact area is 18 cm. If a skater of mass 78 kg is balanced on one skate, what pressure is exerted at the interface of the skate and the ice? C. What is the melting point of ice under this pressure? D. If the temperature of the ice is -4°C, do you expect melting of the ice at the ice-skate interface occur?
2.) The escape velocity of any object from Earth is 11.1 km/s. At what temperature would oxygen molecules (with a molar mass M = 32.0 g/mol) have root-mean-square velocity vrms equal to Earth's escape velocity of 11.1 km Hint: Pay attention to dimensions/units and recall 1 kg-m? the Sl units for energy are the Joule (J), where 1J = s2
