During a circus act, an elderly performer thrills the crowd by catching a cannon ball shot at him. The cannon ball has a mass of 26.0 kg and its horizontal component of velocity is 8.50 m/s just before the 65.0 kg performer catches it. If the performer is initially motionless on nearly frictionless roller skates, what is his speed immediately after catching the cannon ball

If this plastic cup is heated to its melting point, what will eventually happen to all the particles in the plastic? a. the particles will begin to move enough that they slide past each other. b. bonds will form and the liquid will become a solid. c. the spaces between the particles will get smaller. d. the particles will change state and become a crystalline solid.

1. how much energy is needed to raise the temperature of 40.0 g of argon from 25c to 40c? the specific heat capacity of argon is 0.520 j/(g·k) 2a. 23.0 ml of 0.100 m hcl (standard) are added from a buret to neutralize 50.0 ml of an unknown basic solution. 2b. if the oh- produced in the previous reaction came from ca(oh)2, then what is the molarity of the ca(oh)2? 3.calculate the new freezing-point of a solution when 60.5 grams of cacl2 solute is dissolved in 0.612 kg of water. 4. what is the maximum number of moles of alcl3 that can be produced from 5.0 mol al and 6.0 mol cl2? 5. a sample of oxygen gas has a volume of 150 ml when its pressure is 0.923 atm. if the pressure is increased to 0.987 atm and the temperature remains constant, what will the new volume be? 6. nitrogen gas in a closed container at a temperature of 100.0 oc and 3.0 atm is heated to 300 oc. what is the pressure of the gas at the higher temperature?

Aheat engine running backward is called a refrigerator if its purpose is to extract heat from a cold reservoir. the same engine running backward is called a heat pump if its purpose is to exhaust warm air into the hot reservoir. heat pumps are widely used for home heating. you can think of a heat pump as a refrigerator that is cooling the already cold outdoors and, with its exhaust heat qh, warming the indoors. perhaps this seems a little silly, but consider the following. electricity can be directly used to heat a home by passing an electric current through a heating coil. this is a direct, 100% conversion of work to heat. that is, 19.0 \rm kw of electric power (generated by doing work at the rate 19.0 kj/s at the power plant) produces heat energy inside the home at a rate of 19.0 kj/s. suppose that the neighbor's home has a heat pump with a coefficient of performance of 4.00, a realistic value. note: with a refrigerator, "what you get" is heat removed. but with a heat pump, "what you get" is heat delivered. so the coefficient of performance of a heat pump is k=qh/win. an average price for electricity is about 40 mj per dollar. a furnace or heat pump will run typically 200 hours per month during the winter. what does one month's heating cost in the home with a 16.0 kw electric heater? what does one month's heating cost in the home of a neighbor who uses a heat pump to provide the same amount of heating?
