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)

a student lift a 25kg mass at vertical distance of 1.6m in a time of 2.0 seconds. a. Find the force needed to lift the mass (in
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

a. F = 245 Newton.

b. Workdone = 392 Joules.

c. Power = 196 Watts

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 25kg

Distance = 1.6m

Time = 2secs

a. To find the force needed to lift the mass (in N );

Force = mass * acceleration

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8

F = 25*9.8

F = 245N

b. To find the work done by the student (in J);

Workdone = force * distance

Workdone = 245 * 1.6

Workdone = 392 Joules.

c. To find the power exerted by the student (in W);

Power = workdone/time

Power = 392/2

Power = 196 Watts.

Two rams run toward each other. One ram has a mass of 49 kg and runs west
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer: (d)

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the first ram m_1=49\ kg

The velocity of this ram is v_1=-7\ m/s

Mass of the second ram m_2=52\ kg

The velocity of this ram v_2=9\ m/s

They combined after the collision

Conserving the momentum

\Rightarrow m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\Rightarrow 49\times (-7)+52\times (9)=(52+49)v\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{125}{101}\ m/s \quad[\text{east}]

Momentum after the collision will be

\Rightarrow 101\times \dfrac{125}{101}=125\ kg-m/s\ \text{East}

Therefore, option (d) is correct

A hollow cylinder of mass 2.00 kgkg, inner radius 0.100 mm, and outer radius 0.200 mm is free to rotate without friction around
kipiarov [429]

Answer: 2.86 m

Explanation:

To solve this question, we will use the law of conservation of kinetic and potential energy, which is given by the equation,

ΔPE(i) + ΔKE(i) = ΔPE(f) + ΔKE(f)

In this question, it is safe to say there is no kinetic energy in the initial state, and neither is there potential energy in the end, so we have

mgh + 0 = 0 + KE(f)

To calculate the final kinetic energy, we must consider the energy contributed by the Inertia, so that we then have

mgh = 1/2mv² + 1/2Iw²

To get the inertia of the bodies, we use the formula

I = [m(R1² + R2²) / 2]

I = [2(0.2² + 0.1²) / 2]

I = 0.04 + 0.01

I = 0.05 kgm²

Also, the angular velocity is given by

w = v / R2

w = 4 / (1/5)

w = 20 rad/s

If we then substitute these values in the equation we have,

0.5 * 9.8 * h = (1/2 * 0.5 * 4²) + (1/2 * 0.05 * 20²)

4.9h = 4 + 10

4.9h = 14

h = 14 / 4.9

h = 2.86 m

how do Swati and Banks adjust their body position during a skydiving jump so they can fall at the same rate
professor190 [17]

While skydiving, its not just freely falling under Earth's gravity. Additional force called drag acts against the gravity which slows down the rate of fall. Drag is caused by the air molecules which pushes against the body as it falls through them. This is actually a significant amount of force which slows down the rate of fall of the body. Drag depends on the contact surface area and weight. More the surface area in contact, more would be the drag. The sitting position of the skydiver would experience less drag than the chest down position because of the less contact surface area of the body with the air molecules while in the former case. No two persons have identical body shape and weight. Hence, the rate of fall can be made nearly equal but not exactly equal. This is would be possible when they are having same body position.
