Hello, Can you please answer this question? The heat of combustion of gasoline is approximately 47 kJ /g . If a gasoline engine operated between 1500 K and 750 K, what is the maximum height that 5.0g of gasoline can lift an aircraft that weighs 400 kg?
To treat a 67.9 kg patient, what is the minimum amount of ice (at 0∘C) that you need in the bath so that its temperature remains at 0∘C? The specific heat of the human body is 3480 J/(kg⋅C∘), and recall that normal body temperature is 37.0 ∘C. Express your answer in kilograms.
If a cup of coffee has temperature 97degreesC in a room where the ambient air temperature is 19degreesC, then, according to Newton's Law of Cooling, the temperature of the coffee after t minutes is T(t) = 19+78e^(-t/49). What is the average temperature of the coffee during the first 24 minutes?
A. The planet Venus is different from the earth in several respects: (a) it is only 70 % as far from the sun, so the solar constant is 2800 W/m²; (b) its thick clouds reflect 77% of all incident sunlight and (c) its atmosphere is much more opaque to infrared light. B. (i) Estimate what the average surface temperature of Venus would be if it had no atmosphere and did not reflect any sunlight. (ii) Taking into account the reflectivity of the clouds, estimate the surface temperature. Use the theory of Earth's energy balance to discuss the greenhouse effect.
The human body, while at rest, produces heat energy at a rate of about 100 W. How much sweat (in g) must evaporate every minute from their skin to carry away this excess energy? (Note according to your book, the latent heat of vaporization of water at body temperature is 2.43 * 106 J/kg).
Hi! I have a question :) By adding 25 kJ to solid material A, 4.0 kg will melt. By adding 50 kJ to solid material B, 6.0 kg will melt. Solid material C requires 30 kJ to melt 3.0 kg. Which of these materials, if any, has the largest value for the heat of fusion? (A) A, (B) B, (C) C, (D) A=B, (E) None of the above. My answer is below, is it correct? (C) C
The temperatures of objects A and B are measured, and it is seen that the temperature of B is 72 K more than that of A. If the temperatures had been measured in degrees C, what would have been the difference in the temperatures of the two? (please give detail explanation)
Newton's law of cooling for an object at temperature T in surroundings at temperature To is dT = -k (T – To). dt Assuming the temperature of the surroundings remains constant, the temperature of the object as a function of time will be о Т () — Т (0) e kt O (t) – To = (T (0) – To) e kt kt оТ() — Т (0) T(t)-To none of the se answers.
Dear Sir/ Madam, 1/ Pounding a nail into wood makes the nail warmer. Consider a 5-gram steel nail 6-cm long and a hammer that exerts an average force of 500-N on the nail when it is being driven into the wood. What is the increase in the nail’s temperature if the specific heat capacity of steel is 450 J/kgˑC° using this formula: Work is given by F X d, and temperature change as Q = cm ∆T. (Hint: convert the unites to more manageable amounts). 2/ Using the formula: Power = Current X Voltage, find the current drawn by a 1200-W hair dryer connected to 120V. 3/ Two point charges are separated by 6cm. The attractive force between them is 20 N. What is the force between them when they are separated by 12cm? (Hint: This involves relative distance only). 4/ Find the voltage change when an electric field does 12 J of work on a charge of 0.0001C. 5/ Find the voltage change when an electric field does 24 J of work on a charge of 0.0002C. 6/ If a red-hot nail is immersed in warm water, the…
dT Newton's law of cooling states that the rate of change in the temperature T(t) of a body is proportional to the difference between the temperature of the medium M(t) and the temperature of the body. That is, = K[M(t) - T(t)), where dt Kis a constant. Let K= 0.04 (min)' and the temperature of the medium be constant, M(t) = 290 kelvins. If the body is initially at 352 kelvins, use Euler's method with h =0.1 min to approximate the temperature of the body after (a) 30 minutes and (b) 60 minutes. (a) The temperature of the body after 30 minutes is 308.62 kelvins. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) (b) The temperature of the body after 60 minutes is kelvins. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
A pond in winter has a layer of ice 5cm thick. The temperature of the air above the ice is -10C and the temperature of the water directly below the ice is 0C. (i) Find out how much heat passes by conduction through a square meter of ice each second (thermal conductivity of ice = k_ice = 2.2 W/m C) (ii) How would the amount of heat transfer differ if the ice were 7.5 cm thick instead of 5 cm thick? (how many times as much or as less)
Suppose that a planet with no atmosphere orbits a Sunlike star at the same radius as the Earth’s orbit and keeps the same face toward the sun at all times. The planet reflects 40% of the light falling on it, and the average temperature on the facing surface is nearly uniform and 185 K larger than the nearly uniform temperature on its back surface. What is the planet’s average temperature? The planet's average planetary temperature is _______ K.
