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)

Inserting the formulas you found for Xman(t) and Xbus(t) into the conditionXman(tcatch)=Xbus(tcatch) , you obtain the following-
lara [203]

Answer:

c > √(2ab)

Explanation:

In this exercise we are asked to find the condition for c in such a way that the results have been real

The given equation is

              ½ a t² - c t + b = 0

we can see that this is a quadratic equation whose solution is

             t = [c ±√(c² - 4 (½ a) b)]  / 2

for the results to be real, the square root must be real, so the radicand must be greater than zero

              c² -2a b > 0

              c > √(2ab)

What force does a trampoline have to apply to a 45.0-kg gymnast to accelerate her straight up at 7.50 m/s^2? (a) 104N (b) 338 N
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

b) 338 N

Explanation: let m be the mass of the gymnast and a be the acceleration of the gymnast.

the force required to accelerate the gymnast is given by:

F = m×a

  = (45.0)×(7.50)

  = 337.5 N

Therefore, the force a trampoline has to apply is 138 N.

What would the velocity of an object be if it was on a 1.75m
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

T = 4 sec / 2 = 2 sec      period of revolution

S = 2 pi R = 2 * pi * 1.75 m = 11 m

V = S / T = 11 m / 2 sec = 5.5 m/s       speed of object
