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 two equal charges are separated by a certain distance, the force of repulsion is F. Given F1, if each charge in F1 is doubled
Alisiya [41]

Answer:F_2=16\times F_1

Explanation:

Given

Force of repulsion between two charge particle is given by force F

Electrostatic force is given by

F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

where q_1 and q_2 is the charges  of particle

r=distance between charge particle

=\frac{kq^2}{r^2}when charges are doubled and distance is reduced to half

i.e. q become 2 q and r becomes 0.5 r

F_2=\frac{k(2q)^2}{(0.5r)^2}

F_2=\frac{kq^2}{r^2}\times 4\times 4

F_2=16\times F_1

Add these measurements, using significant digit rules:
tia_tia [17]

Here we have to add the two measurements given in the question

The measurement values are given as 1.0090 cm and 0.02 cm.we have to  add them on the basis of significant figure rules.

As per the addition rule in terms of significant figures

1-First we have to select the number of significant digits after the decimal point of each quantity.

2-Now we have to remember that during the addition ,the resultant of two quantities will follow the quantity having least number of significant figures after the decimal point.

3-Here we are considering the minimum number of significant figures after the decimal points not the minimum number of significant figures in case of multiplication and division

Now we have to add these two quantities as per the above rule-

         1.0090 cm +0.02 cm

         =1.0290 cm

Here the result  will follow 0.02 which has minimum number of significant figures after the decimal points.

Hence we have to round off the number from 9 of 1.0290

As 9 is  greater than 5 ,so he actual result will be 1.03 cm

Select the correct answer. Eli and Andy want to find out which of the two is stronger. Eli pushes a table with a force of 120 ne
sergiy2304 [10]

Acceleration of the table: B. 0.50 meters/second2

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on an object is the product of its mass and its acceleration. Mathematically:

\sum F = ma

where

\sum F is the net force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

For the table in this problem, we have:

\sum F = 125 N - 120 N = 5 N is the net force on the table, because there are two forces of 125 N and 120 N acting in opposite  directions

m = 10.0 kg is the mass of the table

Solving for a, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{\sum F}{m}=\frac{5}{10.0}=0.50 m/s^2

Which of the following correctly describes the relative air pressure at the center of a hurricane, with respect to the horizonta
vampirchik [111]

Explanation:

The pressure of hurricane which is high decreases gradually as we move higher . The pressure is maximum at the surface . Hence the relative air pressure is higher at the surface and low at the top . Like wise the pressure is low at the center and keeps on increasing when we move outside . Hence the answer is pressure is high at surface and low aloft.
