(a)
Interpretation:
The amount of potential energy
Concept introduction:
A system contains mainly three forms of energy; kinetic energy, potential energy and internal energy. Kinetic energy is related to the translational motion of the system with respect to the some reference (mostly earth). Potential energy is related to the position of system in a potential field. Internal energy is related to all energy other than potential and kinetic.
(b)
Interpretation:
The speed of water travelling just before impact is to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
Moving water contains energy in the form of kinetic energy, which is equal to the potential energy (just before impact). This relation is expressed as,
(c)
Interpretation:
The given statement that “Energy must be conserved, therefore the kinetic energy before impact must equal to the kinetic energy of the cat after impact” is to be authenticated and if it is false the change that would have happened with most of the kinetic energy that the water possessed just before impact is to be stated.

- A 45-g aluminum spoon (specific heat 0.88 J/g C) at 24 C is placed in 180 mL (180 g) of coffee at 85 C and the temperature of the two become equal. (a) What is the final temperature when the two become equal? Assume that coffee has the same specific heat as water. (b) The first time a student solved this problem she got an answer of 88 C. Explain why this is clearly an incorrect answer.arrow_forwardChlorine dioxide, ClO2, is a reddish yellow gas used in bleaching paper pulp. The average speed of a ClO2 molecule at 25C is 306 m/s. What is the kinetic energy (in joules) of a ClO2 molecule moving at this speed?arrow_forwardNatural gas companies in the United States use the therm as a unit of energy. One therm is 1105 BTU. (a) How many joules are in one therm? (1J=9.48104BTU) (b) When propane gas, C3H8, is burned in oxygen, CO2 and steam are produced. How many therms of energy are given off by 1.00 mol of propane gas?arrow_forward
