    Calculating Volume of a Cylinder Using Integration

    v=(1/pi*Ro) integral 20(1-R/Ro)^(1/7) 2*pi*R*dR i know that i need to change my variable started out y=Ro-R dy=-dR but haven't found a substitution that would get rid of my R variable

    Part B: "150W Engine Efficiency - Heat Given off Per Cycle

    An engine with an output of 150W has an efficiency of 25%. It works at 10 cycles/s. A. How much work is done in each cycle? work=power(delta t) = 150 W * 1s = 150 J work =15.0 J per cycle **got part A correct B. How much heat is given off in each cycle? delta...

    What is the specific heat of the block?

    The specific heat of a 109-g block of material is to be determined. The block is placed in a 34.0-g copper calorimeter that also holds 52.0 g of water. The system is initially at 20.0°C. Then 140 g of water at 83.0°C are added to the calorimeter vessel. When thermal equilibrium is attained, the...

    What is the equilibrium temperature of a system containing ice and steam?

    hmm tricky:) thanks so much will look at it that way in the future

    What is the equilibrium temperature of a system containing ice and steam?

    so you are saying q(ice) + q(ice-water) = q(steam) + q(steam-water) 50025J + 4.18J/g*150g(Tf-273)=58682J + 4.18J/g*26g(Tf-373) 121146J + 627J*Tf = 58682J + 108J*Tf - 40538J 519J*Tf=139290J Tf=268degree K which is still wrong... did i understand you correctly?

    What is the equilibrium temperature of a system containing ice and steam?

    An insulated bucket contains 150 g of ice at 0°C. If 26.0g of steam is injected at 100°C into the bucket, what is the final equilibrium temperature of the system in °C? this i what I've done so far q(ice)=150g*333.5J/g=50025J q(steam)=26g*2257J/g=58682J q(ice) + q(ice-water) =...

    So, the force on each wall of the box is 138 N.

    so that would be F=deltaP*A .35*.32^2=.03584 that came up as incorrect

    So, the force on each wall of the box is 138 N.

    A cubic metal box with sides 32.0 cm contains air at a pressure of 1.00 atm and a temperature of 294 K. The box is sealed so that the volume is constant and it is heated to a temperature of 396K. Find the force on each wall of the box due to the increased pressure within the box. [The outside...

    Instances to produce heat by burning

    Propane, C3H8(g), is used in many instances to produce heat by burning: C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) --> 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g) The standard enthalpy of reaction, , is -2,044 kJ. How many grams of oxygen would be needed to react with excess propane to produce 213.0 kJ of heat? heat of formation of...

    Solve for Slowest Constant Speed to Catch a Train

    nevermind I got it. I forgot to add the initial 3.78m the train traveled before the person started running.

    Solve for Slowest Constant Speed to Catch a Train

    A train pulls away from a station with a constant acceleration of 0.21 m/s2. A passenger arrives at the track 6.0 s after the end of the train passed the very same point. What is the slowest constant speed at which she can run and catch the train? Xtrain=Xo+Vot+1/2(a*t^2) Xtrain=3.78m +...

    Why Is My Calculation of Initial Velocity Incorrect in Projectile Motion?

    projectile is fired w/an angle of 28.0degrees above the horizontal and from height 46.0m agove the ground. the projectile strikes ground w/a speed of 1.95xVo. Find Vo I started using the eqution (Vfy)^2=(Voy)^2+2*Ay*(delta Y) Voy=Vosin(theta)=.47Vo Vfy=1.954*Vosin(theta)=.92Vo...
