Two 84.5 g ice cubes are dropped into 30 g of water in a glass. If the water is initially at a temperature of 50 C and if the ic
Setler [38]

Answer:

final temperature will be 0 degree C

Total amount of ice will be

m_{ice} = 182 g

total amount of water

m_{water} = 17 g

Explanation:

After thermal equilibrium is achieved we can say that

Heat given by water = heat absorbed by ice cubes

so we will have

Heat given by water to reach 0 degree C

Q_1 = m_1s_1 \Delta T_1

Q_1 = 0.030(4186)(50 - 0)

Q_1 = 6279 J

heat absorbed by ice cubes to reach 0 degree

Q_2 = m_2 s_2 \Delta T_2

Q_2 = (0.169)(2100)(30)

Q_2 = 10647 J

so we will have

Q_2 > Q_1

so here we can say that few amount of water will freeze here to balance the heat

10647 - 6279 = mL

m = \frac{10647 - 6279}{335000}

m = 13 g

so final temperature will be 0 degree C

Total amount of ice will be

m_{ice} = 84.5 + 84.5 + 13

m_{ice} = 182 g

total amount of water

m_{water} = 30 - 13

m_{water} = 17 g

Telephone signals are often transmitted over long distances by microwaves. What is the frequency of microwave radiation with a w
amm1812

Answer:

1) f= 8.6 GHz

2) t= 0.2 ms

Explanation:

1)

  • Since microwaves are electromagnetic waves, they move at the same speed as the light in vacuum, i.e. 3*10⁸ m/s.
  • There exists a fixed relationship between the frequency (f) , the wavelength (λ) and the propagation speed in any wave, as follows:

        v = \lambda * f (1)

  • Replacing by the givens, and solving for f, we get:

       f =\frac{c}{\lambda} =\frac{3e8m/s}{0.035m} = 8.57e9 Hz (2)

⇒     f = 8.6 Ghz (with two significative figures)

2)

  • Assuming that the microwaves travel at a constant speed in a straight line (behaving like rays) , we can apply the definition of average velocity, as follows:

       v =\frac{d}{t} (3)

       where v= c= speed of light in vacuum = 3*10⁸ m/s

       d= distance between mountaintops = 52 km = 52*10³ m

  • Solving for t, we get:

       t = \frac{d}{c} = \frac{52e3m}{3e8m/s} = 17.3e-5 sec = 0.173e-3 sec = 0.173 ms (4)

       ⇒  t = 0.2 ms (with two significative figures)

A block of mass m = 4.8 kg slides from left to right across a frictionless surface with a speed Vi=7.3m/s. It collides with a bl
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The speed of the 11.5kg block after the collision is V≅4.1 m/s

Explanation:

ma= 4.8 kg

va1= 7.3 m/s

va2= - 2.5 m/s

mb= 11.5 kg

vb1= 0 m/s

vb2= ?

vb2= ( ma*va1 - ma*va2) / mb

vb2= 4.09 m/s ≅ 4.1 m/s
