A force of 60 N is applied to a skier to pull him along a horizontal surface so that his speed remains constant. If the coefficient of friction of the skis on snow is 0.05, then what is the weight of the skier?

The energy released by a chemical reaction can be measured using a calorimeter. when barium hydroxide octahydrate crystals are reacted with dry ammonium chloride inside of a coffee cup calorimeter, the temperature of the 18.00 g of water in the calorimeter decreases from 30.0°c to 8.0°c. the equation for calculating energy absorbed or released by a reaction is: where q is the energy released or absorbed, m is the mass of water in the calorimeter, cp is the specific heat of water, and δt is the observed temperature change. if the specific heat of liquid water is 4.19 j/g·°c, how much energy was absorbed by the reaction?

(a) calculate the number of electrons in a small, electrically neutral silver pin that has a mass of 10.0 g. silver has 47 electrons per atom, and its molar mass is 107.87 g/mol. (b) imagine adding electrons to the pin until the negative charge has the very large value 1.00 mc. how many electrons are added for every 109 electrons already present

Air is to be preheated by hot exhaust gases in a cross-flow heat exchanger before it enters the furnace. air enters the heat exchanger at 95 kpa and 20°c at a rate of 0.6 m^3/s. the combustion gases (cp = 1.10 kj/kg°c) enter at 160°c at a rate of 0.95 kg/s and leave at 95°c. determine the rate of heat transfer to the air and its outlet temperature.
