QUESTION( Conservation of Energy) 1. Missy Diwater‚ the former platform diver for the Ringling Brother’s Circus had a kinetic energy of 15 000 J just prior to hitting the bucket of water. If Missy’s mass is 50 kg‚ then what is her speed? Solution: According to energy conservation‚ the kinetic energy at the bottom of the dive (15‚000J) is equal to her gravitational potential energy before the dive. We can use this fact to find her dive height: PE = mgh h = PE/mg = 15‚000J / (50kg)(9.81m/s²)

Introduction Chemical Kinetics‚ described as the study of rate of chemical processes‚ varies on many factors to determine the time needed for a reaction to complete. The rate of reaction of a chemical reaction is important‚ as reactions are of little use if the time period needed for the reaction to occur is too lengthy. Many factors influence the rate of a chemical reaction‚ such as temperature‚ concentration and surface area. The order of the reaction is based on the concentration of the reactants

Tutorial – Work‚ Energy (Assume the acceleration due to gravity‚ g = 9.81 m/s2 ) 1. Calculate the work done when a force of 40 N pushes an object a distance of 500 m in the same direction as the force. 2. Calculate the work done when a mass is lifted vertically by a crane to a height of 5 m‚ the force required to lift the mass being 98 N. 3. A spring‚ initially in a relaxed state‚ is extended by 100 mm. Determine the work done by using a work diagram if the spring requires

Describe and explain the factors that influence how much a work a river can do (25) The work that a river does is erosion‚ transportation and deposition. The amount of work a river can do is dependent on the energy it has and this energy is determined by many factors. The study of water flow in a river channel is known as hydraulics. Hydraulic geometry is the study of the relationships that exist within river channels that ultimately determine how much work the river will be able to carry

KINETICS OF THE ACID DECOMPOSITION OF THIOSULFATE Aqueous solutions of thiosulfate‚ S2O32-(aq) are stable if neutral or basic‚ but decompose quickly when the thiosulfate is dissolved in acid according to the equation: Sulfur dioxide is a gas at room temperature‚ but is very soluble in water. Sulfur‚ a water insoluble solid‚ forms a colloidal suspension. As a result‚ the solution first becomes cloudy and then opaque. We can take advantage of the developing opacity of the reaction system to do a
