    Exothermic Reaction Origin: What is the Source?

    what is the origin of the engery liberated in an exothermic reaction? I've been hitting the books for this but can't find it. Seems simple enough though. I just need to be sure.

    Electric Charge and Force Calculation Help

    I missed the material for these couple of problems. If someone could help explain how to solve them I would much appreciate it. :cool: 1.) A charge of +2 x 10^-6 C is 20cm from a charge of -3 x 10^-6 C. Find the magnitude and direction of the force on each charge. 2.) A 120-V electric...

    BLAH Temp and engine problem,

    For the second, I'm assuming the max efficiency is about .33. So I would choose design B. I have no clue of what to use for the first problem.

    BLAH Temp and engine problem,

    :confused: still can't get 'em

    BLAH Temp and engine problem,

    I was running through some problems, doing just fine, until I came across these two. I can't work out a correct solution. :cry: 1) A 1-kg block of ice at 0 C falls into a lake whose water is also at 0 C, and 0.01 kg of the ice melts. What was the minimum altitude from which the ice fell...

    Momentum and energy questions

    Okay, I still don't quite get the first one. The material wasn't presented in that way. Are there no circumstances?

    Momentum and energy questions

    Should be fairly simple, but I'm not so great with physics. Here's a few I'm having trouble with... 1. Under what circumstances (if any) is no work done on a moving object even though a net force acts upon it? 2. What happens to the momentum of a car when it stops? 3. When the...
