Answer:b)1770 kWh

Explanation:

Given

volume of water V=40,000 gallons

Temperature rise \Delta T=10^{\circ}C

c=4186 J/kg-^{\circ} C

also 1 kg mass is approximately is 1 gallon

therefore 40,000 gallon is equivalent to 3.8\times 40000 kg

heat Required to raise temperature is

Q=mc\Delta T

Q=3.8\times 40000\times 4186\times 10

Q=63,627.2\times 10^5 J

Q=63,672.2\times 10^2 KJ

Q=1767.42 kWh\approx 1770 kWh

Which equation is most likely used to determine the acceleration from a velocity vs:time graph?
tresset_1 [31]
Acceleration, a =  (v - u)/t

where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, and t is the time.

This formula on a velocity time graph represents the slope of the graph.

roblem 10: In an adiabatic process oxygen gas in a container is compressed along a path that can be described by the following p
miskamm [114]

Answer:

W= -2.5 (p₁*0.0012) joules

Explanation:

Given that p₀= initial pressure, p₁=final pressure, Vi= initial volume=0 and Vf=final volume= 6/5 liters where p₁=p₀ then

In adiabatic compression, work done by mixture during compression is

W= \int\limits^f_i {p} \, dV  where f= final volume and i =initial volume, p=pressure

p can be written as p=K/V^γ where K=p₀Vi^γ =p₁Vf^γ

W= \int\limits^f_i {K/V^} \, dV

W= K/1-γ ( 1/Vf^γ-1 - 1/Vi^γ-1)

W=1/1-γ (p₁Vf-p₀Vi)

W= 1/1-1.40 (p₁*6/5 -p₀*0)  

W= -2.5 (p₁*6/5*0.001)   changing liters to m³

W= -2.5 (p₁*0.0012) joules

A rocket train car that is 30 m long is traveling from Los Angeles to New York at v=0.5c when a light at the center of the car f
Nataly [62]

Answer: The reference frame of a passenger in a seat near the center of the train

Explanation:

the speed of light is the same for the passenger and the bicyclist

then the avents are simultaneous fo the passenger not for the bicyclist

the delay between the two events for the bicyclist is

Δt=Δd/vs

where

Δd= lenght of train

vs=speed of sound

the reference frame of a passenger in a seat near the center of the train

Solution:

The space and time transformations are:

x' = γ(x - vt)

t' = γ(t - vx/c²).

In the primed frame the two events are simultaneous, so that Δt' = 0. Also here Δx' = 30. In the unprimed frame Δx' = 30 = γ(Δx - v Δt).......(*)

We also have Δt' = 0 = γ(Δt - vΔx/c²)→Δx = c²Δt/v......(**)

Substituting (**) in (*): 30 = γ(c²Δt/v - vΔt))→Δt = 30/(c²/v - v) =

30/(2c - 0.5c) = 6.7 x 10^(-8)s

750 million years ago, there was enough Uranium-235 present in Oklo, Gabon to have a natural fission reactor occur and generate
Komok [63]
<span>With a half-life of 700 million years, U-235 would have had twice as much mass at a time 700 MYA. This would have put the mass at 100kg at that time. Going back another 50 million years would be (50/700) or 1/14 of the half-life, or (1/2 * 1/14), or 1/28 of the total mass. 1/28 of 100kg is 3.57kg, so the amount present at the 750MYA mark would be approximately 103.57kg of U-235.</span>

When 0.1523 g of liquid pentane (CH) combusts in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature rises from 23.7C to 29.8 C. What is U for t
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

U for the reaction is 15,048.58 kJ/mol of pentane.

Explanation:

Quantity of heat required = heat capacity of bomb calorimeter × temperature rise = 5.23 kJ/C × (29.8 C - 23.7 C) = 5.23 kJ/C × 6.1 C = 31.903 kJ

Moles of pentane = mass/MW

Mass = 0.1523 g

MW of pentane (C5H12) = 72 g/mol

Moles of pentane = 0.1523/72 = 0.00212 mol

U for the reaction = quantity of heat required ÷ moles of pentane = 31.903 kJ ÷ 0.00212 mol = 15,048.58 kJ/mol
