The temperature of a sample of silver increased by 24.0 °C when 269 J of heat was applied. What is the mass of the sample?

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Mass of the silver will be equal to 46.70 gram

Explanation:

We have given heat required to raise the temperature of silver by 24°C is 269 J , so $\Delta T=24^{\circ}C$

Specific heat of silver = 0.240 J/gram°C

We have to find the mass of silver

We know that heat required is given by

$Q=mc\Delta T$ , here m is mass, c is specific heat of silver and $\Delta T$ is rise in temperature

So $269=m\times 0.240\times 24$

m = 46.70 gram

So mass of the silver will be equal to 46.70 gram

A ball is thrown upwards from the edge of a cliff. The horizontal velocity and vertical velocity are both 20m/s the distance fro

german

Answer:

20m

6.9s

Explanation:

The vertical velocity of the ball is 20m/s. We can calculate the kinetic energy which gets transferred to potential energy once it gets to the top.

$E_k = E_p$

$0.5mv^2 = mgh$

$h = \frac{0.5v^2}{g}$

we can subtitute v = 20m/s and g = 10m/s2

$h = \frac{0.5*20^2}{10} = 20 m$

So the ball could go 20m high from the child hand, or 120m fro the bottom of the cliff.

The time it takes for the ball to travels to the top is the time it takes for it to decelerate from 20m/s to 0m/s with gravitational deceleration g = 10m/s2

t = v / g = 20 / 10 = 2s

Then the ball will start accelerating down ward with a constant acceleration of g = 10m/s. In order to cover distance d of 120m from the top to the bottom of the cliff

$d = \frac{gt_2^2}{2}$

$t^2 = \frac{2d}{g} = \frac{2*120}{10} = 24$

$t = \sqrt{24} = 4.9s$

So the total time it takes is 4.9 + 2 = 6.9s

A magnet is placed inside a small cube which is placed inside a larger cube which has eight times the volume of the smaller cube

alexdok [17]

Answer:

The magnetic flux through the two cubes is zero in both cases

Explanation:

To answer this question, we have to think about the nature of magnetic fields.

In fact, we know that magnetic sources always exist only as magnetic dipoles: this means that a magnet always has a north pole (from which the magnetic field lines go away) and a south pole (into which the magnetic field lines return). There exist no magnetic monopoles: even when we cut a magnet in a half, we end up having two magnets, each of them having its own north pole and south pole.

A direct consequence of this fact is that if we take a closed surface, such as a cube surrounding the magnet, the magnetic flux through the cube is always zero. This is because all the field lines going out the surface of the cube always return inside the cube on another point. Since the magnetic flux basically represents the number of field lines passing through the surface of the cube, this means that the net positive magnetic flux (lines going out of the cube) is equal to the net negative magnetic flux (lines going into the cube).

As a result, the magnetic flux is zero for both the smaller cube and the larger cube.
