Chapter 17, Problem 17.51E
CP An asteroid with a diameter of 10 km and a mass of 2.60 × l015 kg impacts the earth at a speed of 32.0kin/s, landing in the Pacific Ocean. If 1.00% of the asteroid’s kinetic energy goes to boiling the ocean water (assume an initial water temperature of 10.0°C), what mass of water will be boiled away by the collision? (For comparison, the mass of water contained in Lake Superior is about 2 × 1015 kg.)

As it travels 19.4 m, the ball slows down to a speed of 40 m/s because of air resistance. Calculate the change in the temperature of the air through which the ball passes. For air M- 28.9 g/mol and C, =7R/2. Hint: Assume the change in temperature happens only for a cylinder of air 19.4 m in length and radius of 3.7 cm. Assume that the energy loss of the ball due to its change in KE and is all absorbed by the air.arrow_forwarda container has 0.3 kg of water and 0.5 kg of ice at 273 K. How much water vapor should be introduced into the container so that all the ice melts and settles at 293K? The initial steam temperature is 373K, the specific heat of steam is 2010J / kg × K, the evaporation lambda is 22.6 × 10⁵ J / Kg, the melting lambda is 3.33 × 10⁵ J / kg and the specific heat of water is 4186 J / kg × Karrow_forward
- An aluminum can is filled to the brim with a liquid. The can and the liquid are heated so their temperatures change by the same amount. The can’s initial volume at 15 oC is 4.5×10- 4 m3 . The coefficient of volume expansion for aluminum is 69×10-6 oC-1 . When the can and the liquid are heated to 75 oC, 2.9×10-6 m3 of liquid spills over. What is the coefficient of volume expansion of the liquid?arrow_forwardSuper Invar, an alloy of iron and nickel, is a strong material with a very low coefficient of thermal expansion [0.2×10-6(C˚)-1].

- A sample of neon gas (Ne, molar mass M = 20.2 g/mol) at a temperature of 13.0 °C is put into a steel container of mass 47.2 g that’s at a temperature of−40.0 °C . The final temperature is −28.0 °C . (No heat is exchanged with the surroundings, and you can neglect any change in the volume of the container.) What is the mass of the sample of neon?arrow_forwardConsider a person standing in a room at 20°C with an exposed surface area of 1.7 m2. The deep body temperature of the human body is 37°C, and the thermal conductivity of the human tissue near the skin is about 0.3 W/m K. The body is losing heat at a rate of 150 W by natural convection and radiation to the surroundings. Taking the body temperature 0,5 cm beneath the skin to be 37°C, determine the skin temperature of the person.arrow_forwardWhile doing the dishes, you drop an iron skillet that’s very hot (200° C or more) into a sink containing a few inches of water at room temperature. Assume the volume of water has about the same mass as the skillet. It’s found that the increase in temperature of the water is much less than the loss in temperature experienced by the skillet. As a matter of fact, after a minute or two, the water feels only slightly warmer than before the skillet was added. Use the space to write a brief explanation of why this is true.arrow_forward
- Twenty-five milliliters of liquid nitrogen (density = 0.807 g/mL) is poured into a cylindrical container with a radius of 10.9 cm and a length of 20.3 cm. The container initially contains only air at a pressure of 760.0 mmHg (atmospheric pressure) and a temperature of 298 K. If the liquid nitrogen completely vaporizes, what is the total force (in lb) on the interior of the container at 298 K ? ΜΕ ΑΣΦ ? F = lbarrow_forwardAn iron block (c = 0.450 J/gºC) is initially at 60.0 ºC. The block is then submerged into 100.0 g of water (c = 4.18 J/gºC) at 25.0 ºC in an insulated container. The final temperature of the iron block and water upon reaching thermal equilibrium is 26.0 ºC. What is the mass of the iron block?arrow_forwardIn 2085, your company wins a contract to deliver oxygen to several asteroid-based habitats from another asteroid with plenty of oxygen locked up in ice. Since there is no drag in space, the size of the oxygen containers is not an issue, and the most economical method turns out to be to enclose about 6 x 105 kilograms of cold but gaseous oxygen at about half atmospheric pressure in a Mylar sphere 100 m in diameter. To the sphere, you have strapped a small rocket engine. While the engine is firing, the engine presses into the sphere roughly 10 meters, like a finger pushing in on a balloon, as the sphere accelerates. The engine exerts a constant thrust until the sphere reaches its interasteroidal cruising speed of 100 m/s. The sphere travels about 5.0 km while the engine is firing. What fraction of the energy the rocket engine has given to the sphere ends up as internal energy in the gas just before the engine shuts off?arrow_forward
