An investigation has been completed, similar to the one on latent heat of fusion, where steam is bubbled through a container of water. Steam condenses and the lost energy heats the water and container. Given the following data, do the calculations requested. Mass of the aluminum container 50 g
Mass of the container and water 250 g
Mass of the water 200 g
Initial temperature of the container and water 20°C
Temperature of the steam 100°C
Final temperature of the container, water, and condensed steam 50°C
Mass of the container, water, and condensed steam 261 g
Mass of the steam 11 g
Specific heat of aluminum 0.22 cal/g°C
Heat energy gained by the water

14,000 cal
10,000 cal
6000 cal
4000 cal

When a neutrally charged atom loses an electron to another atom, the result is the creation of a. two charged atoms. b. two negatively charged atoms. c. two positively charged atoms. d. two neutrally charged atoms.

Aheat engine running backward is called a refrigerator if its purpose is to extract heat from a cold reservoir. the same engine running backward is called a heat pump if its purpose is to exhaust warm air into the hot reservoir. heat pumps are widely used for home heating. you can think of a heat pump as a refrigerator that is cooling the already cold outdoors and, with its exhaust heat qh, warming the indoors. perhaps this seems a little silly, but consider the following. electricity can be directly used to heat a home by passing an electric current through a heating coil. this is a direct, 100% conversion of work to heat. that is, 19.0 \rm kw of electric power (generated by doing work at the rate 19.0 kj/s at the power plant) produces heat energy inside the home at a rate of 19.0 kj/s. suppose that the neighbor's home has a heat pump with a coefficient of performance of 4.00, a realistic value. note: with a refrigerator, "what you get" is heat removed. but with a heat pump, "what you get" is heat delivered. so the coefficient of performance of a heat pump is k=qh/win. an average price for electricity is about 40 mj per dollar. a furnace or heat pump will run typically 200 hours per month during the winter. what does one month's heating cost in the home with a 16.0 kw electric heater? what does one month's heating cost in the home of a neighbor who uses a heat pump to provide the same amount of heating?

Balloon a has charge q, and identical mass balloon b has charge 10q. you hang them from threads near each other. choose all of the statements with which you agree. check all that apply. a. a and b exert the same magnitude forces on each other. b. the force that a exerts on b is 10 times the force that b exerts on a. c. the angle between the thread supporting a and the vertical is < the angle between the thread supporting b and the vertical. d. the force that a exerts on b is 1/10 the force that b exerts on a.
