$\huge\underline{\underline{\boxed{\mathbb {EXPLANATION}}}}$

The heat capacity is given by the expression:

$\longrightarrow \sf{\triangle Q= m \triangle C \triangle T}$

$\longrightarrow \sf{Q= \: Heat}$

$\longrightarrow \sf{M= \: Mass}$

$\longrightarrow \sf{C= \: Specific \: Heat}$

$\longrightarrow \sf{T= \: Temperature}$

$\huge\underline{\underline{\boxed{\mathbb {ANSWER:}}}}$

$\leadsto$ When the $\bm{heat}$ is measured in the calorimeter, we obtain a value, and since we know the mass of the material and we control the change in $\bm{temperature}$ , we can then determine the specific heat "C" by simply remplazing in the expression.

A bumper cart has a mass of 200 kg and has a protective bumper around it that behaves like a spring. The spring constant is 5000

34kurt

Part A:
For this part we’re assuming all the kinetic energy of the moving bumper car is converted into elastic potential energy in the spring since the car is brought to rest. Therefore you can find the total kinetic energy to get your answer:

KE = ½ mv^2
KE = ½ (200)(8)^2
KE = 6400 J

Part B:
Now you can use Hooke’s law to find the force:

F = kx
F = (5000)(0.2)
F = 1000 N

To win a prize at the county fair, you're trying to knock down a heavy bowling pin by hitting it with a thrown object. Should yo

Setler [38]

Answer:

Being an elastic object, rubber ball will be an ideal choice as it will bounce off the bowling pit and will experience a large change in momentum in comparison with the beanbag which will either slow down or come to a halt upon hitting a bowling pit. That is why rubber ball will experience a greater impulse and the bowling pin will experience the negative impulse of the rubber ball.

For Rubber Ball

Upon elastic collision it will reverses the direction and move with velocity equal or less then original

change in momentum = P

$P = m(v_{f} -v_{i})\\v_{f}=-v_{i} \\ P = -2mv_{i}$

For Beanbag

value of impulse will large if velocity is zero.

$v_{f}=0\\ P = -mv_{i}$

Considera que en tu casa tienes un televisor de 110 W, si pasa encendido 4 horas diarias, Cuál será la energía consumida durante

rjkz [21]

Answer:

E = 13.2 kWh

, Cost = $ 10.8

Explanation:

We can look for the consumed energy from the expression of the power

P = W / t

The work is equal to the variation of the kinetic energy, for which

P = E / t

E = P t

look for the energy consumed in one day and multiply by the days of the month in the month

E = 110 4 30

E = 13200 W h

E = 13.2 kWh

the cost of this energy is

Cost = 0.9 12

Cost = $ 10.8

What is the length a rubberband was stretched if it has a spring constant of 5700N/m and is currently holding 8600J OF POTENTIAL

lozanna [386]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \Delta x=1.74\ m$

Explanation:

<u>Elastic Potential Energy </u>

Is the energy stored in an elastic material like a spring of constant k, in which case the energy is proportional to the square of the change of length Δx and the constant k.

$\displaystyle PE = \frac{1}{2}k(\Delta x)^2$

Given a rubber band of a spring constant of k=5700 N/m that is holding potential energy of PE=8600 J, it's required to find the change of length under these conditions.

Solving for Δx:

$\displaystyle \Delta x=\swrt{\frac{2PE}{k}}$
