M = 10.0 g, the mass of the iron sample
ΔT = 75 - 25.2 = 49.5°C, the decrease in temperature
c = 0.449 J/(g-°C), the specific heat of iron
The heat released is
Q = m*c*ΔT
= (10.0 g)*(0.449 J/(g-°C))*(49.5 C)
= 222.255 J
Answer: 222.3 J (nearest tenth)
The wavelength of the note is
. Since the speed of the wave is the speed of sound,
, the frequency of the note is
Then, we know that the frequency of a vibrating string is related to the tension T of the string and its length L by
where
is the linear mass density of our string.
Using the value of the tension, T=160 N, and the frequency we just found, we can calculate the length of the string, L:
After they have gathered enough information by testing the theory.
<span>Inertia keeps us orbiting because any object with mass has the tendency to resist changes to their direction and speed of movement. Combine that with the interaction of the gravitational attraction of the sun, and that is what keeps Earth in orbit. The sun’s gravitational force is one that is proportional to Earth’s mass, and it acts in a way that is almost exactly perpendicular to Earth’s motion. This keeps Earth from spinning into the sun or far away from it.</span>
