Suppose there are two identical gas cylinders. one contains the monatomic gas xenon (xe), and the other contains an equal mass of the monatomic gas helium (he). the pressures in the cylinders are the same, but the temperatures are different. determine the ratio kexe/kehe of the average kinetic energy of an atom of xenon to the average kinetic energy of an atom of helium.

A175 g lump of molten lead at its melting point (327 c) is placed into 55.0 g of water at 20.0 c. the specific heat of lead is 130.j/kg c and the hf of lead is 20,400 j/kg. when the lead and the water have reached equilibrium, what is the temperature of the mixture?

Emmy kicks a soccer ball up at an angle of 45° over a level field. she watches the ball's trajectory and notices that it lands, two seconds after being kicked, about 20 m away to the north. assume that air resistance is negligible, and plot the horizontal and vertical components of the ball's velocity as a function of time. consider only the time that the ball is in the air, after being kicked but before landing. take "north" and "up" as the positive ‑ and ‑directions, respectively, and use ≈10 m/s2 for the downward acceleration due to gravity.

The heater element of a 120 v toaster is a 5.4 m length of nichrome wire, whose diameter is 0.48 mm. the resistivity of nichrome at the operating temperature of the toaster is 1.3 × 10-6 ω·m. the toaster is operated at a voltage of 120 v. (a) what is the power drawn by the toaster? (b) if the cost of electricity is 12 ¢ per kilowatt-hour, and it takes 2 minutes to toast bread, how much does it cost for toasted bread? (c) when the heater element is at room temperature, is the resistivity in the nichrome wire greater than, less than, or equal to it’s resistivity when at operating temperature? explain.
