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)

What is the amplitude of the wave shown in the diagram?
Marina86 [1]
The amplitude is from the absolute value of the 0 point on the y-axis to the highest(peak) or lowest(troph) point of the wave. In this question, 3cm is the highest and -3cm is the lowest, so the amplitude is 3cm.

A 2 kg book is pushed from rest to a final velocity of 3 m/s. The book travels 2 m. How much force was the book pushed with
Studentka2010 [4]

Explanation:

first you have to find accelerarion, it is given that the initial velocity(u) is 3 m/s, distance travelled(s) be 2m finall it came to rest so final velocity be 0m/s

now using the 3rd law of motion

v^2=u^2+2as

0=9+2a2

a= -9/4m/s^2

now force=mass×accelration

=2kg×(-9/4)m/s^2

=4.5 N

4.5 newton force applied on the book!

✌️:)

Tubby and his twin brother Libby have a combined mass of 200 kg and are zooming along in a 100 kg amusement park bumper car at 1
harkovskaia [24]

Answer: 14.1 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this with the Conservation of Linear Momentum principle, which states the initial momentum p_{i} (before the elastic collision) must be equal to the final momentum p_{f} (after the elastic collision):

p_{i}=p_{f} (1)

Being:

p_{i}=m_{1}V_{i} + m_{2}U_{i}

p_{f}=m_{1}V_{f} + m_{2}U_{f}

Where:

m_{1}=200 kg +100 kg=300 kg is the combined mass of Tubby and Libby with the car

V_{i}=10 m/s is the velocity of Tubby and Libby with the car before the collision

m_{2}=25 kg + 100 kg=125 kg is the combined mass of Flubby with its car

U_{i}=0 m/s is the velocity of Flubby with the car before the collision

V_{f}=4.12 m/s is the velocity of Tubby and Libby with the car after the collision

U_{f} is the velocity of Flubby with the car after the collision

So, we have the following:

m_{1}V_{i} + m_{2}U_{i}=m_{1}V_{f} + m_{2}U_{f} (2)

Finding U_{f}:

U_{f}=\frac{m_{1}(V_{i}-V_{f})}{m_{2}} (3)

U_{f}=\frac{300 kg(10 m/s-4.12 m/s)}{125 kg} (4)

Finally:

U_{f}=14.1 m/s
