The specific heat of a metal or any element or compound can be determined using the formula Cp = delta H / delta T / mass. delta pertains to change. That is change in enthalpy and change in temperature. From the given data, Cp is equal to 343 cal per (86-19) c per 55 grams. This is equal to 0.093 cal / g deg. Celsius

point) A circular swimming pool has a diameter of 12 m. The circular side of the pool is 3 m high, and the depth of the water is
Sergio [31]

Answer:

(a) 86.65 J

(b) 149.65 J

Solution:

As per the question:

Diameter of the pool, d = 12 m

⇒ Radius of the pool, r = 6 m

Height of the pool, H = 3 m

Depth of the pool, D = 2.5 m

Density of water, \rho_{w} = 1000\ kg//m^{3}

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8\ m/s^{2}

Now,

(a) Work done in pumping all the water:

Average height of the pool, h = \frac{H + D}{2}

h = \frac{3 + 2.5}{2} = 2.75\ m

Volume of water in the pool, V = \pi r^{2}h = \pi \times 6^{2}\times 2.75 = 311.02\ m^{3}

Mass of water, m_{w} = \frac{\rho_{w}}{V}

m_{w} = \frac{1000}{311.02} = 3.215\ kg

Work done is given by the potential energy of the water as:

W = m_{w}gh = 3.215\times 9.8\times 2.75 = 86.65\ J

(b) Work done to pump all the water through an outlet of 2 m:

Now,

Height, h = 2.75 + 2 = 4.75

Work done,W = m_{w}gh = 3.215\times 9.8\times 4.75 = 149.65\ J

If someone is driving 100 miles in 60 minutes then drives 150 miles in 100 minutes west, what is his acceleration rate.
Sliva [168]

Answer:

his acceleration rate is -0.00186 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

initial position of the car, x₀ = 100 miles = 160, 900 m ( 1 mile = 1609 m)

time of motion, t₀ = 60 minutes = 60 mins x 60 s = 3,600 s

final position of the car, x₁ = 150 miles = 241,350 m

time of motion, t₁ = 100 minutes = 100 mins x 60 s = 6,000 s

The initial velocity is calculated as;

u = 160, 900 m / 3,600 s

u = 44.694 m/s

The final velocity is calculated as;

v = 241,350 m / 6,000 s

v = 40.225 m/s

The acceleration is calculated as;

a = \frac{\Delta V}{\Delta t} = \frac{v- u}{t_1 - t_ 0} = \frac{40.225  - 44.694}{6000-3600} = -0.00186 \ m/s^2\\\\

Therefore, his acceleration rate is -0.00186 m/s²

What is diffraction?
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

D) the bending of a wave as it moves around an obstacle or passes through a narrow opening

Explanation:

Even though light travels in straight line, it will bend around objects if their size is comparative to its wavelength. This phenomenon is called diffraction.

Light will also bend if the light travels from one medium to another medium at an angle, but that is called refraction.

Diffraction occurs in one medium. Refraction occurs when light travels from one medium to another.

John runs around a 126.5 m circular track 3.5 times in 4.17 minutes. What is his average speed?
sdas [7]
Average speed = distance traveled / time

average speed  = (126.5 m * 3.5 laps) / (4.17 min)

= 106.2 m/min

What describes how fast an object is moving and in what direction
Mashcka [7]

Speed is a description of how fast an object moves; velocity is how fast and in what direction it moves. In physics, velocity is speed in a given direction. When we say a car travels at 60 km/h, we are specifying its speed.
