A chemist is conducting an experiment on a system. At the beginning of the experiment a chemist wants to determine the temperature of the system the system has a definite volume but no definite shape which of the following is most likely also true for the system? A. The molecules in the system has less kinetic energy than a solid

B. The molecules in the system have more kinetic energy than solid

C. The molecules are held together by stronger attractive forces than a solid

D. Heat flow into the system eventually cause it to have a definite shape

first let us lay out the formula for potential

and kinetic energy:

pe = mgh

ke = (mv^2)/2

where: m=mass, v=velocity, g=gravitational

acceleration, h=height

calculating for mass using the known values of

pe:

340j = m (9.81 m/s^2) (50ft) (1m/3.28ft)

m = 2.27 kg

the law of conservation of energy states that

energy is neither created nor destroyed. therefore, the change in kinetic

energy from 50 ft to 35 ft would be equal to the change in potential energy

from 50 ft to 35 ft. however it would be opposite in signs since one is losing

while other is gaining.

ke(35ft) – ke(50ft) = - [ pe(35ft) – pe(50ft]

ke(50ft) = 0 since the brick is initially at rest

ke(35ft) = 340j - 2.27kg (9.81 m/s^2) (35ft)

(1m/3.28 ft)

ke(35ft)

= 102.38 j

the answer is option a.

35. a insulated cylinder of solid gold (k 310 kw/m-k) of radius v2 m and height 5 m is heated at one end until the temperature at each point in the cylinder is given by w(r, y, z) (30 z2)(2-(r2+ y2). determine the rate of heat flow across each horizontal disk given by z 1, z 2, and z 3, identifying which has the greatest rate of heat flow across it.
