The lid of a pressure cooker forms a nearly airtight seal. steam builds up pressure and increases temperature within the pressure cooker so that food cooks faster than it does in an ordinary pot. the system is defined as the pressure cooker and the water and steam within it. if 2.0 g of water is sealed in a pressure cooker and then vaporized by heating, and 5127 j must be added as heat to completely vaporize the water, what is the change in the system’s internal energy? answer in units of j.

The california mussel (mytilus californianus) attaches itself to a rock or other solid surface with a bundle of filaments known as the byssus. imagine that 15.0 j of work is done to stretch the distal end of the byssus. it releases 10.8 j of thermal energy as it relaxes. what is the resilience of the distal end of the byssus?

Why do metals "give up" their valence electrons?

Acyclotron is used to produce a beam of high-energy deuterons that then collide with a target to produce radioactive isotopes for a medical procedure. deuterons are nuclei of deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen, consisting of one neutron and one proton, with total mass 3.34×10−27kg. the deuterons exit the cyclotron with a kinetic energy of 6.40 mev .a-what is the speed of the deuterons when they exit? b-if the magnetic field inside the cyclotron is 1.25 t, what is the diameter of the deuterons' largest orbit, just before they exit? c-if the beam current is 350 μa how many deuterons strike the target each second?
