Solution to Lab Exercise...051717

SOLVED PROBLEMS #1
1. When 2,100 J is removed from 0.10 kg of a substance, its temperature is observed
    to decrease from 40oC to 10oC.  What is the specific heat of the substance?

    Solution:  Using the formula: Q  =  mcΔT where Q =  2,100 J

2,100 J  =  0.10 kg (c) (40 – 10)oC

c  =  700 J/kg-oC

2. How much heat is required to raise an 800 gm copper pan from 15oC to 90oC if the
    pan contains 1.0 kg of water?

    Solution:  Since both the pan and the water absorb heat, the total heat required is:

Q =  Heat absorbed by the pan  +  Heat absorbed by the water

   =  0.8 kg (386 J/kg-K) (90 – 15)  +  1.0 kg (4185 J/kg-K) (90 – 15)
   =  337,000J

3. In a calorimetry experiment, 0.50 kg of a metal at 100oC is added to 0.50 L of
    water at room temperature in an aluminum calorimeter cup.  The cup has a mass of
    250 gm.  If the final temperature of the mixture is 25oC, what is the specific heat of
    the metal?
    Solution:

In this problem, the calorimer and the water in it will absorb the heat released
by the hot  metal.

0.50 kg (c) (100 – 25)oC = 0.5 kg (4185) (25 – 20) + 0.250 (920) (25 – 20)

c  =  309.67 J/ kg-oC

4. Determine the amount of heat a freezer has to remove from 1.5 kg of water at 22oC                  
    to make ice at – 10oC.

    Solution:
a) Heat required to change the temperature of water at 22oC to 0oC

Q1  =  mcΔT  =  (1.5 kg) (4186 J/kg-oC)(22 – 0)oC
     =  138.14 J

b) Heat required to change water at 0oC to ice at 0oC

Q2  =  mLf  =  (1.5 kg)(3.33 x 105 J/kg)  
                                   =  4.995 x 105 J

c) Heat to be removed to lower ice from 0oC to – 10oC

Q3  = mcΔT  =  (1.5 kg) (2100 J/kg-oC) [0 – (–10)oC]
      = 3.15 x 104 J

Total Heat required:  Qtotal  =  138.14 J +  4.995 x 105 J  +  3.15 x 104 J  

Qtotal  =  5.31 x 105 J

    tower?  Assume that the diameter of the tower is so large compared to that of the
    faucet that the water at the top of the tower does not move.

Physics 101 Sample Problems with Solutions - Kinematics


-->
  1. An airplane accelerates down a runway at 3.20 m/s2 for 32.8 s until is finally lifts off the ground. Determine the distance traveled before takeoff.
    Given:
    a = +3.2 m/s2
    t = 32.8 s
    vi = 0 m/s
    Find:
    d = ??
    d = vi*t + 0.5*a*t2
    d = (0 m/s)*(32.8 s)+ 0.5*(3.20 m/s2)*(32.8 s)2
    d = 1720 m
  2. A race car accelerates uniformly from 18.5 m/s to 46.1 m/s in 2.47 seconds. Determine the acceleration of the car and the distance traveled.
    Given:
    vi = 18.5 m/s
    vf = 46.1 m/s
    t = 2.47 s
    Find:
    d = ??
    a = ??
    a = (Delta v)/t
    a = (46.1 m/s - 18.5 m/s)/(2.47 s)
    a = 11.2 m/s2
    d = vi*t + 0.5*a*t2
    d = (18.5 m/s)*(2.47 s)+ 0.5*(11.2 m/s2)*(2.47 s)2
    d = 45.7 m + 34.1 m
    d = 79.8 m
    (Note: the d can also be calculated using the equation vf2 = vi2 + 2*a*d)
  3. A feather is dropped on the moon from a height of 1.40 meters. The acceleration of gravity on the moon is 1.67 m/s2. Determine the time for the feather to fall to the surface of the moon.
    Given:
    vi = 0 m/s
    d = -1.40 m
    a = -1.67 m/s2
    Find:
    t = ??
    d = vi*t + 0.5*a*t2
    -1.40 m = (0 m/s)*(t)+ 0.5*(-1.67 m/s2)*(t)2
    -1.40 m = 0+ (-0.835 m/s2)*(t)2
    (-1.40 m)/(-0.835 m/s2) = t2
    1.68 s2 = t2
    t = 1.29 s
  4. A kangaroo is capable of jumping to a height of 2.62 m. Determine the takeoff speed of the kangaroo.
    Given:
    a = -9.8 m/s2
    vf = 0 m/s
    d = 2.62 m
    Find:
    vi = ??
    vf2 = vi2 + 2*a*d
    (0 m/s)2 = vi2 + 2*(-9.8 m/s2)*(2.62 m)
    0 m2/s2 = vi2 - 51.35 m2/s2
    51.35 m2/s2 = vi2
    vi = 7.17 m/s
  5. If Michael Jordan has a vertical leap of 1.29 m, then what is his takeoff speed and his hang time (total time to move upwards to the peak and then return to the ground)?
    Given:
    a = -9.8 m/s2
    vf = 0 m/s
    d = 1.29 m
    Find:
    vi = ??
    t = ??
    vf2 = vi2 + 2*a*d
    (0 m/s)2 = vi2 + 2*(-9.8 m/s2)*(1.29 m)
    0 m2/s2 = vi2 - 25.28 m2/s2
    25.28 m2/s2 = vi2
    vi = 5.03 m/s
    To find hang time, find the time to the peak and then double it.
    vf = vi + a*t
    0 m/s = 5.03 m/s + (-9.8 m/s2)*tup
    -5.03 m/s = (-9.8 m/s2)*tup
    (-5.03 m/s)/(-9.8 m/s2) = tup
    tup = 0.513 s
    hang time = 1.03 s
