The specific heat of the metal, assuming no heat is exchanged with the surroundings is 2140 J/(kg•K).

<h3>Specific heat capacity of the metal</h3>

The specific heat capacity of the metal is determined from the principle of conservation of energy.

energy lost by the metal = energy gained by aluminum + energy gained by water

Q = mcΔθ

where;

  • m is mass (kg)
  • c is specific heat capacity
  • Δθ is change in temperature

0.425c(100 - 40) = 0.1(900)(40 - 15) + 0.5(4186)(40 - 15)

25.5c = 2250 + 52,325

c = 54,575/25.5

c = 2140 J/(kg•K)

If the weight of a submerged object is equal to the buoyant force, what net force acts upon the object?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The weight is acting downwards where as the buoyant force acting upwards (opposite) direction with equal amount of force. so the opposite forces cancel out each other (because of the force amount being equal) and no net force is acting on the object.

Hope i have helped you

Thanks.

gives the speed v versus time t for a 0.500 kg object of radius 6.00 cm that rolls smoothly down a 30° ramp. The scale on the ve
ddd [48]

Answer:

Rotational inertia of the object is given as

I = 7.2 \times 10^{-4} kg m^2

Explanation:

As we know that the acceleration of the object on inclined plane is given as

a = \frac{gsin\theta}{1 + k^2/R^2}

now we know that velocity at any instant of time is given as

v = at

now we know that if the graph between velocity and time is given then the slope of the graph will be same as acceleration

so here we have

\frac{gsin\theta}{1 + k^2/R^2} = slope

now from the graph slope of the graph is given as

slope = \frac{3.5 - 0}{1}

\frac{gsin\theta}{1 + k^2/R^2} = 3.5

\frac{9.81 sin30}{1 + k^2/R^2} = 3.5

k^2 = 0.4 R^2

now rotational inertia is given as

I = mk^2

I = 0.5(0.4)(0.06)^2

I = 7.2 \times 10^{-4} kg m^2
