Suppose an astronaut on the surface of the moon took some water at about `20^@C` out of his thermos and poured it into a glass bbeaker. What would happen to the water?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question regarding what happens to water when an astronaut pours it into a glass beaker on the surface of the moon, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Environment on the Moon**: - The moon has a very thin atmosphere, which means that the atmospheric pressure is extremely low compared to that on Earth. In fact, it is close to a vacuum. 2. **Properties of Water**: ...

Figure shows water in a container having 2.0-mm thick walls made of a material of thermal conductivity 0.50Wm^(-1)C^(-1) . The container is kept in a melting-ice bath at 0^(@)C . The total surface area in contact with water is 0.05m^(2) . A wheel is clamped inside the water and is coupled to a block of mass M as shown in the figure. As the goes down, the wheel rotates. It is found that after some time a steady state is reached in which the block goes down with a constant speed of 10cms^(-1) and the temperature of the water remains constant at 1.0^(@)C .Find the mass M of the block. Assume that the heat flow out of the water only through the walls in contact. Take g=10ms^(-2) .
