3.6 kg.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

How much heat does the hot steel tool release?

This value is the same as the amount of heat that the 15 liters of water has absorbed.

Temperature change of water:

\Delta T = T_2 - T_1= 48\; \textdegree{\text{C}}- 15\; \textdegree{\text{C}} = 33 \; \textdegree{\text{C}}.

Volume of water:

V = 15 \; \text{L} = 15 \; \text{dm}^{3} = 15 \times 10^{3} \; \text{cm}^{3}.

Mass of water:

m = \rho \cdot V = 1.00 \; \text{g} \cdot \text{cm}^{-3} \times 15 \times 10^{3} \; \text{cm}^{3} = 15 \times 10^{3} \; \text{g}.

Amount of heat that the 15 L water absorbed:

Q = c\cdot m \cdot \Delta T = 4.18 \; \text{J} \cdot \text{g}^{-1} \cdot \textdegree{\text{C}}^{-1} \times 15 \times 10^{3} \; \text{g} \times 33 \; \textdegree{\text{C}} = 2.06910 \times 10^{6}\; \text{J}.

What's the mass of the hot steel tool?

The specific heat of carbon steel is 0.49 \; \text{J} \cdot \text{g}^{-1} \cdot \textdegree{\text{C}}^{-1}.

The amount of heat that the tool has lost is the same as the amount of heat the 15 L of water absorbed. In other words,

Q(\text{absorbed}) = Q(\text{released}) =2.06910 \times 10^{6}\; \text{J}.

\Delta T = T_2 - T_1 = 1200\; \textdegree{\text{C}} -{\bf 48}\; \textdegree{\text{C}} = 1152\; \textdegree{\text{C}}.

m = \dfrac{Q}{c\cdot \Delta T} = \dfrac{2.06910 \times 10^{6} \; \text{J}}{0.49\; \text{J} \cdot \text{g}^{-1} \cdot \textdegree{\text{C}}^{-1} \times 1152\; \textdegree{\text{C}}} = 3.6 \times 10^{3} \; \text{g} = 3.6 \; \text{kg}.

Four penguins that are being playfully pulled along very slippery (frictionless) ice by a curator. The masses of three penguins
Sati [7]

Answer:

m_2 = 23 kg

Explanation:

As we know that the tension in two strings are

T_2 = 111 N

T_4 = 222 N

now we have

F_{net} = ma

so we can say

(m_1 + m_2)a = T_2

(12 + m_2)a = 111

also we have

(m_1 + m_2 + m_3 + m_4) a = T_4

(12 + m_2 + 15 + 20) a = 222

now divide two equations

\frac{222}{111} = \frac{47 + m_2}{12 + m_2}

2m_2 + 24 = 47 + m_2

m_2 = 23 kg

Question 1
Dominik [7]

Answer:

a. All the laboratory equipment given are very basic equipment used in all the laboratories. Name of each equipment is as follows:

  • V refers to the tape measure.
  • W refers to dropper.
  • X refers to an inoculating loop.
  • Y refers to a stopwatch.
  • Z refers to the microscope.

b. Use of each laboratory equipment identified is:

  • Tape measures (V) is used to measure the length of objects or distance in a laboratory.
  • Dropper (W) is used to measure unit of drop required to dispensed as one drop or several drops in any experiment.
  • Inoculating loop (X) is used by microbiologists to cultivate microbes on plates and retrieving an inoculum from a culture of microorganisms.
  • Stopwatch (Y) is used to measure the time of any  experiment.
  • Microscope (Z) is used to magnify an object to look at it in detail.

It takes 185 kj of work to accelerate a car from 23.0 m/s to 28.0 m/s. what is the car's mass?
Pachacha [2.7K]
<span>This question is based on conservation of energy as the work done would lead to change in kinetice energy of car change in KE = 1/2 mv(f)^2 - 1/2mv(i)^2 = 1/2m(v(f)^2-v(i)^2) where v(f) and v(i) are the final and initial speeds change in KE = 185kJ = 185,000J = 1/2 m((28m/s)^2-(23m/s)^2) 185,000=1/2 m(255m^2/s^2) solving for m m=1451kg</span>
