Answer:
2274 J/kg ∙ K
Explanation:
The complete statement of the question is :
A lab assistant drops a 400.0-g piece of metal at 100.0°C into a 100.0-g aluminum cup containing 500.0 g of water at 15 °C. In a few minutes, she measures the final temperature of the system to be 40.0°C. What is the specific heat of the 400.0-g piece of metal, assuming that no significant heat is exchanged with the surroundings? The specific heat of this aluminum is 900.0 J/kg ∙ K and that of water is 4186 J/kg ∙ K.
= mass of metal = 400 g
= specific heat of metal = ?
= initial temperature of metal = 100 °C
= mass of aluminum cup = 100 g
= specific heat of aluminum cup = 900.0 J/kg ∙ K
= initial temperature of aluminum cup = 15 °C
= mass of water = 500 g
= specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg ∙ K
= initial temperature of water = 15 °C
= Final equilibrium temperature = 40 °C
Using conservation of energy
heat lost by metal = heat gained by aluminum cup + heat gained by water
Answer:
see below
Explanation:
First, the obvious, as you press the gas pedal harder the acceleration goes up as well. Conversely, is you do not press the pedal, you will not accelerate. This determines that is I press the gas pedal, it will CAUSE the car to accelerate. This proves causation.
Now, correlation. The definition of correlation in statistics is any statistical relationship between two random variables or data. This simply means that these two events are connected to one another. A POSITIVE correlation is when two correlated events move in the same direction as one another. I have added a graph to help visualize this. In this problem as the gas is pressed harder, the acceleration increases. If the pressure on the pedal was decreased, then the acceleration also decreases. If the pressure on the pedal is constant, the the acceleration is constant.
I hope this helps!
