The key difference between a bomb calorimeter and a coffee cup calorimeter is high temperature.

<h3>What is bomb calorimeter?</h3>

A bomb calorimeter is an apparatus that can measure heats of combustion, used in various applications such as calculating the calorific value of foods and fuels.

<h3>What is coffee cup calorimeter?</h3>

A coffee cup calorimeter is a cup used to provide insulation when materials are mixed inside of it.

<h3>Difference between the two calorimeter</h3>

The coffee cup calorimeter can't be used for high-temperature reactions, either, because they would melt the cup.
A bomb calorimeter is used to measure heat flows for gases and high-temperature reactions

(i). A ball of mass 1.500 kg is attached to the end of a cord 1.50 m long. The ball moves in a horizontal circle. If the cord ca

(a) Let $v$ be the maximum linear speed with which the ball can move in a circle without breaking the cord. Its centripetal/radial acceleration has magnitude

$a_{\rm rad} = \dfrac{v^2}R$

where $R$ is the radius of the circle.

The tension in the cord is what makes the ball move in its plane. By Newton's second law, the maximum net force on it is

$F = (1.500\,\mathrm{kg}) a_{\rm rad}$

so that

$(1.500\,\mathrm{kg}) \dfrac{v^2}{1.50\,\rm m} = 64.0\,\mathrm N$

Solve for $v$ :

$v^2 = \dfrac{(64.0\,\mathrm N)(1.50\,\mathrm m)}{1.500\,\rm kg} \\\\ \implies \boxed{v = 8.00 \dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}}$

(b) The net force equation in part (a) leads us to the relation

$F = \dfrac{mv^2}R \implies v = \sqrt{\dfrac{FR}m}$

so that $v$ is directly proportional to the square root of $R$ . As the radius $R$ increases, the maximum linear speed $v$ will also increase, so the cord is less likely to break if we keep up the same speed.

An electron with a speed of 0.95c is emitted by a supernova, where cc is the speed of light. What is the magnitude of the moment

krok68 [10]

Answer:

2.59×10¯²² Kgm/s

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Velocity of electron = 0.95c

Momentum =?

Next, we shall determine the velocity of the electron. This can be obtained as follow:

Velocity of electron = 0.95c

Velocity of Light (c) = 3×10⁸ m/s

Velocity of electron = 0.95c

Velocity of electron = 0.95 × 3×10⁸

Velocity of electron = 2.85×10⁸ m/s

Finally, we shall determine the mometum of the electron.

Momentum is simply defined as the product of mass and velocity. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Momentum = mass x Velocity

Thus, with the above formula, we calculate the momentum of the electron as follow:

Mass of electron = 9.1×10¯³¹ Kg

Velocity of electron = 2.85×10⁸ m/s

Momentum of electron =?

Momentum = mass x Velocity

Momentum = 9.1×10¯³¹ × 2.85×10⁸

Momentum = 2.59×10¯²² Kgm/s

Therefore, the momentum of the electron is 2.59×10¯²² Kgm/s

A common physics demonstration is to drop a small magnet down a long, vertical aluminum pipe. Describe the motion of the magnet

Rzqust [24]

Answer and Explanation:

This experiment is known as Lenz's tube.

The Lenz tube is an experiment that shows how you can brake a magnetic dipole that goes down a tube that conducts electric current. The magnet, when falling, along with its magnetic field, will generate variations in the magnetic field flux within the tube. These variations create an emf induced according to Faraday's Law:

$\varepsilon =-\frac{d\phi_B}{dt}$

This emf induced on the surface of the tube generates a current within it according to Ohm's Law:

$V=IR$

This emf and current oppose the flux change, therefore a field will be produced in such a direction that the magnet is repelled from below and is attracted from above. The magnitude of the flux at the bottom of the magnet increases from the point of view of the tube, and at the top it decreases. Therefore, two "magnets" are generated under and above the dipole, which repel it below and attract above. Finally, the dipole feels a force in the opposite direction to the direction of fall, therefore it falls with less speed.

A sound wave from a police siren has an intensity of 100.0 W/m² at a certain point; a second sound wave from a nearby ambulance

Irina18 [472]

The sound level of the sound wave due to the ambulance is 140.

<h3>What do you mean by sound?</h3>

In terms of physics, the sound is a vibration that travels through a transmission medium like a gas, liquid, or solid as an acoustic wave. Sound is the reception of these waves and the brain's perception of them in terms of human physiology and psychology. Only acoustic waves with frequencies between roughly 20 Hz and 20 kHz, or the audio frequency range, can cause a human to have an auditory sensation. These are sound waves with wavelengths ranging from 17 meters (56 ft) to 1.7 millimeters in the air at atmospheric pressure (0.67 in). Ultrasounds are sound waves with a frequency higher than 20 kHz that are inaudible to humans. Infrasound refers to sound frequencies below 20 Hz. Animals of different species have different hearing ranges.

Why is water always used in energy generation (water -> steam -> turbine) instead of a liquid with a lower specific heat c

frez [133]

There are multiple reasons for this. First of all, water is available in almost every place on the Earth. It doesn't pollute the air, doesn't cause health use and is easily handle.

Other factor is the fact that water has a really high specific heat. This means that water, and more specifically steam, can aborb and transport more energy. A lower heat capacity would imply the need to boil more of the liquid to obtain the same amount of energy. This combine with the fact that water expands at a large rate when boiling, combine with everything mentioned previously, and you get a liquid with all the characteristics that a efficient turbine requires to work.
