Hi there!
We know that:
U = Potential Energy (J)
K = Kinetic Energy (J)
E = Total Energy (J)
At 10m, the total amount of energy is equivalent to:
U + K = 50 + 50 = 100 J
To find the highest point the object can travel, K = 0 J and U is at a maximum of 100 J, so:
100J = mgh
We know at 10m U = 50J, so we can solve for mass. Let g = 10 m/s².
50J = 10(10)m
m = 1/2 kg
Now, solve for height given that E = 100 J:
100J = 1/2(10)h
100J = 5h
<u>h = 20 meters</u>
The heat required to change 1.25 kg of steak is 2825 kJ /kg.
<u>Explanation</u>:
Given, mass m = 1.25 kg, Temperature t = 100 degree celsius
To calculate the heat required,
Q = m L
where m represents the mass in kg,
L represents the heat of vaporization.
When a material in the liquid state is given energy, it changes its phase from liquid to vapor and the energy absorbed in this process is called heat of the vaporization. The heat of vaporization of the water is about 2260 kJ/kg.
Q = 1.25 2260
Q = 2825 kJ /kg.
