A 55.0-g aluminum block initially at 27.5 degree C absorbs 725 J of heat. What is the final temperature of the aluminum? Express

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Final temperature of the aluminum = 41.8 °C

Explanation:

We have the equation for energy

E = mcΔT

Here m = 55 g = 0.055 kg

ΔT = T - 27.5

Specific heat capacity of aluminum = 921.096 J/kg.K

E = 725 J

Substituting

E = mcΔT

725 = 0.055 x 921.096 x (T - 27.5)

T - 27.5 = 14.31

T = 41.81 ° C = 41.8 °C

Final temperature of the aluminum = 41.8 °C

The 10-lb block has a speed of 4 ft/s when the force of f=(8t2)f=(8t2) lb is applied. determine the velocity of the block when t

KatRina [158]

The velocity of the block when t == 2 s is 60.7 ft./sec.

Equations of Motion.

Here the friction is $F_f = \mu_k N$ = 0.2 N

$+ \uparrow \sum F_y = ma_y; \quad N – 10 = \frac { 10 } { 32.2 }(0) \quad N = 10 lb \\ \begin{aligned} \underrightarrow{ + } \sum F_x = ma_x; \quad 8t^2 – 0.2(10 &) = \frac { 10 } { 32.2 }a \\ & a = 3.22(8t^2 – 2) ft/s^2 \end{aligned}$

Kinematics.

The velocity of the block as a function of t can be determined by

integrating dv = adt using the initial condition v = 4 ft./s at t = 0.

$\int_{ 4 ft/s }^{ v } dv = \int_0^t 3.22(8t^2 – 2)dt \\ \begin{aligned} v – &4 = 3.22 (\frac 8 3 t^3 – 2t) \\ & v = \{8.5867t^3 – 6.44t + 4 \} ft/s \end{aligned}$

The displacement as a function of t can be determined by integrating

ds = vdt using

the initial condition s = 0 at t = 0

$\int_0^s ds = \int_0^t (8.5867t^3 – 6.44t + 4)dt \\ s = \{2.1467t^4 – 3.22t^2 + 4t \} ft$

at t = 2 sec

s = 30 ft.

Thus, at s = 30 ft.,

$\begin{aligned} v &= 8.5867(2.0089^3) – 6.44(2.0089) + 4 \\ &= 60.67 ft/s \\ &= 60.7 ft/s \end{aligned}$

Kinematics is a subfield of physics, developed in classical mechanics, that describes the motion of points, bodies (objects), and systems of bodies (groups of objects) without considering the forces that cause them to move.

Kinematics, as a field of study, is often referred to as the "geometry of motion" and is occasionally seen as a branch of mathematics. A kinematics problem begins by describing the geometry of the system and declaring the initial conditions of any known values of position, velocity and/or acceleration of points within the system.

Then, using arguments from geometry, the position, velocity and acceleration of any unknown parts of the system can be determined. The study of how forces act on bodies falls within kinetics, not kinematics. For further details, see analytical dynamics.

Select all that apply.

GenaCL600 [577]

The correct answer to the question is: A) miles/hour and B) metre/ second.

EXPLANATION:

Before answering this question, first we have to understand speed.

The speed of a body is defined as the rate of distance travelled or the distance travelled by a body per unit time.

Hence, it is a derived quantity which is obtained from distance and time.

The unit of distance can be metre, miles, and the unit of time can be second, minutes or hour.

As speed is the distance covered per unit time, the perfect units will be miles/hour and metre/second.

Hence, the correct options are first and second.

Which of the following is NOT an argument for showing that the Earth must be round: a. during an eclipse of the Moon, the shadow

Hitman42 [59]

Answer: The correct option is option E (the Sun is seen blocking different constellations in the course of a year.

Explanation:

The earth, which is one of the planets of the solar system that supports life, is shperical in shape. The spherical ( round) shape of the earth is marked by the intervening highlands and oceans on its surface.

Evidence to show that the earth is shperical are:

--> The Lunar eclipse: During an eclipse of the Moon, the shadow of the Earth is always seen to be round.

--> Ships Visibility: When ships travel a large distance away, we see their hulls disappear first and their masts disappear last.

-->Altitude of Polaris (North Star): The height of the North Star changes as we travel to different latitudes. That is ,increases as you move toward the North pole, or decreases as you move toward the equator.

--> Aerial photographs: Photographs of the Earth from space always show a round body.

The statement that doesn't prove that the earth is spherical in shape is (the Sun is seen blocking different constellations in the course of a year). The sun is seen in front of stars blocking different constellation in a year because the earth orbits round the sun in a year and not that it is shperical in shape.

An object is 10 cm from thé mirror, its height is 1 cm and thé focal length is 5 cm. What is thé distance from thé mirror? S1= _

Viefleur [7K]

Note: I assume the mirror is concave, so that its focal length is positive (it is not specified in the text)

1a) We can use the mirror equation to find the distance of the image from the mirror:
$\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{p}+ \frac{1}{q}$
where
$f=5 cm$ is the focal length
$p=10 cm$ is the distance of the object from the mirror
$q$ is the distance of the image from the mirror.

Rearranging the equation, we find
$\frac{1}{q}= \frac{1}{f}- \frac{1}{p}= \frac{1}{5}- \frac{1}{10}= \frac{1}{10 cm}$
so, the distance of the image from the mirror is $q=10 cm$ .

1b) The image height is given by the magnification equation:
$\frac{h_i}{h_o}=- \frac{p}{q}$
where $h_i$ is the heigth of the image and $h_o=1 cm$ is the height of the object. By rearranging the equation and using p and q, we find
$h_i=-h_o \frac{p}{q}=-(1 cm) \frac{10 cm}{10 cm}=-1 cm$
and the negative sign means the image is inverted.

2) As before, we can find the distance of the image from the mirror by using the mirror equation:
$\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{p}+ \frac{1}{q}$
Rearranging it, we find
$\frac{1}{q}= \frac{1}{f}- \frac{1}{p}= \frac{1}{2}- \frac{1}{10}= \frac{4}{10 cm}$
so, the distance of the image from the mirror is
$q= \frac{10}{4}cm= 2.5 cm$

3) As before, we find the distance of the image from the mirror by using the mirror equation:
$\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{p}+ \frac{1}{q}$
Rearranging it, we find
$\frac{1}{q}= \frac{1}{f}- \frac{1}{p}= \frac{1}{2}- \frac{1}{10}= \frac{4}{10 cm}$
so, the distance of the image from the mirror is
$q= \frac{10}{4}cm= 2.5 cm$

And now we can use the magnification equation to find the image height:
$\frac{h_i}{h_o}=- \frac{p}{q}$
Rearranging it, we find
$h_i=-h_o \frac{p}{q}=-(3cm) \frac{10 cm}{2.5 cm}=-12 cm$
and the negative sign means the image is inverted.
