A sample of copper with a mass of 1.80 kg, initially at a temperature of 150.0°C, is in a well-insulated container. Water at a t

emperature of 27.0°C is added to the container, and the entire interior of the container is allowed to come to thermal equilibrium, where it reaches a final temperature of 70.0°C. What mass of water (in kg) was added? Assume any water turned to steam subsequently recondenses.

Answer:

the mass of water is 0.3 Kg

Explanation:

since the container is well-insulated, the heat released by the copper is absorbed by the water , therefore:

Q water + Q copper = Q surroundings =0 (insulated)

Q water = - Q copper

since Q = m * c * ( T eq - Ti ) , where m = mass, c = specific heat, T eq = equilibrium temperature and Ti = initial temperature

and denoting w as water and co as copper :

m w * c w * (T eq - Tiw) = - m co * c co * (T eq - Ti co) =  m co * c co * (T co - Ti eq)

m w = m co * c co * (T co - Ti eq) / [ c w * (T eq - Tiw) ]

We take the specific heat of water as c= 1 cal/g °C = 4.186 J/g °C . Also the specific heat of copper can be found in tables → at 25°C c co = 0.385 J/g°C

if we assume that both specific heats do not change during the process (or the change is insignificant)

m w = m co * c co * (T eq - Ti co) / [ c w * (T eq - Tiw) ]

m w= 1.80 kg *  0.385 J/g°C ( 150°C - 70°C) /( 4.186 J/g°C ( 70°C- 27°C))

m w= 0.3 kg

An object located near the surface of Earth has a weight of a 245 N
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

The mass of the object is 24.5 kg and weight of the object on Mars is 91.14 N.

Explanation:

Weight of the object on the surface of Earth, W = 245 N

On the surface of Earth, acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s²

Weight of an object is given by :

W = mg

m is mass

m=\dfrac{W}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{245\ N}{10\ m/s^2}\\\\=24.5\ kg

So, the mass of the object is 24.5 kg

Acceleration due to gravity on Mars, g' = 3.72 m/s²

Weight of the object on Mars,

W' =mg'

W' = 24.5 kg × 3.72 m/s²

= 91.14 N

So, the weight of the object on Mars is 91.14 N.

A fruit bat falls from the roof of a cave. We know that her potential energy was
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

v = 15.65 m/s

Explanation:

We use conservation of mechanical energy between initial (i) and final (f) states:

Pi + KEi = Pf + KEf

At the top of the cave at the instant the bat starts to fall, there is only potential energy since the bat's velocity is zero.

Pi = m g h = 600 J

and the KEi = 0 J (no velocity)

Knowing the height of the cave's roof (12.8 m) , we can find the mass of the bat:

m = 600 J / (g 12.5) = 4.9 kg

Using conservation of mechanical energy, the final state is:

Pf + KEf = 600 J

with Pf = 0 (just touching the ground)

KEf= 1/2  4.9 (v^2)

and we solve for the velocity:

600 J = 0 + 1/2  4.9 (v^2)

v^2 = 600 * 2 / 4.9 = 244.9

v = 15.65 m/s
