A student heats 100 g of aluminum to 60°C. He places it in 100 g of water at 20°C. Over time, what will most likely happen?

1 answer:

8 0

-- Heat will flow out of the warm aluminum and into the cool water.

-- The temperature of the aluminum will fall and the temperature of the water will rise.

-- Eventually, everything in the container will settle at the same temperature, and temperatures will stop changing.

-- The final "equilibrium" temperature will be a little less than 40°C (the average of 60° and 20°), because the specific heat of the aluminum is about 8% less than the specific heat of the water. So when some quantity of heat flows from the aluminum to the water, the temperature of the water rises a little less than the temperature of the aluminum falls.

The momentum of an object is determined to be 7.2 x 10-3 cm kg x m/s. Express this as provided or use any equivalent unit. How i

Complete Question:

The momentum of an object is determined to be 7.2 × 10-3 kg⋅m/s. Express this quantity as provided or use any equivalent unit. (Note: 1 kg = 1000 g).

Answer:

7.2 gm/s.

Explanation:

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

$Momentum = mass * velocity$

Given the following data;

Momentum = 7.2 * 10^-3 kgm/s

1 kg = 1000 g

Substituting the unit in kilograms with grams, we have;

Momentum = 7.2 * 10^-3 * 1000 gm/s

<em>Momentum = 7.2 gm/s. </em>

Which planet has the strongest magnetosphere?

ziro4ka [17]

Jupiter. It states that the stronger the magnetic field, the larger the magnetosphere. Some 20,000 times stronger than Earth's magnetic field, Jupiter's magnetic field creates a magnetosphere so large it begins to avert the solar wind almost 3 million kilometers before it reaches Jupiter.

A motorcycle of 170 kg is moving with a velocity 25m/ . Calculate the kinetic energy

topjm [15]

Answer: 53125joules

Explanation: The formula for kinetic energy is 1/2mv^2.

So we would have

1/2[(170)(25x25)]=53125

Two tiny conducting spheres are identical and carry charges of -19.8μC and +40.7μC. They are separated by a distance of 3.59 cm.

romanna [79]

Answer:

(a): $\rm -5.627\times 10^3\ N.$

(b): $\rm 7.626\times 10^2\ N.$

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Charge on one sphere, $\rm q_1 = -19.8\ \mu C = -19.8\times 10^{-6}\ C.$

Charge on second sphere, $\rm q_2 = +40.7\ \mu C = +40.7\times 10^{-6}\ C.$
Separation between the spheres, $\rm r=3.59\ cm = 3.59\times 10^{-2}\ m.$

Part (a):

According to Coulomb's law, the magnitude of the electrostatic force of interaction between two static point charges is given by

$\rm F=k\cdot\dfrac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$

where,

k is called the Coulomb's constant, whose value is $\rm 9\times 10^9\ Nm^2/C^2.$

From Newton's third law of motion, both the spheres experience same force.

Therefore, the magnitude of the force that each sphere experiences is given by

$\rm F=k\cdot\dfrac{q_1q_2}{r^2}\\=9\times 10^9\times \dfrac{(-19.8\times 10^{-6})\times (+40.7\times 10^{-6})}{(3.59\times 10^{-2})^2}\\=-5.627\times 10^3\ N.$

The negative sign shows that the force is attractive in nature.

Part (b):

The spheres are identical in size. When the spheres are brought in contact with each other then the charge on both the spheres redistributes in such a way that the net charge on both the spheres distributed equally on both.

Total charge on both the spheres, $\rm Q=q_1+q_2=-19.8\ \mu C+40.7\ \mu C = 20.9\ \mu C.$

The new charges on both the spheres are equal and given by

$\rm q_1'=q_2'=\dfrac Q2 = \dfrac{20.9}{2}\ \mu C=10.45\ \mu C = 10.45\times 10^{-6}\ C.$

The magnitude of the force that each sphere now experiences is given by

$\rm F'=k\cdot \dfrac{q_1'q_2'}{r^2}'\\=9\times 10^9\times \dfrac{10.45\times 10^{-6}\times 10.45\times 10^{-6}}{(3.59\times 10^{-2})^2}\\=7.626\times 10^2\ N.$
