An aluminum calorimeter with a mass of 100 g contains 250 g of water. The calorimeter and water are in thermal equilibrium at 10

.0°C. Two metallic blocks are placed into the water. One is a 300.0-g piece of copper at 30.0°C. The other has a mass of 70.0 g and is originally at a temperature of 100°C. The entire system stabilizes at a final temperature of 20.0°C.(a) Determine the specific heat of the unknown sample?(b) Using the data in the table above, can you make a positive identification of the unknown material?(explain)

Answer:

1822.14 J/kg C

Explanation:

Mass of aluminum  = 0.100 kg

Mass of Water = 0.250 kg

Mass of copper = 0.300 kg

Mass of unknown object = 0.70 kg

Initial temperature of Aluminum = 10 C

Initial  temperature  of water = 10 C

Initial temperature of copper = 30 C

Initial temperature of = 100 C

Final temperature of all substances = 20 C

Change in temperature of each  of them Aluminum, water , copper and unknown material  respectively = 10 C , 10 C , -10 C, -80 C respectively

Specific heat of  each  of them Aluminum, water , copper and unknown material  respectively = 900,4186,387 and c respectively.

Heat gained by aluminum and water = (0.1)(900)(10) + (0.250)(4186)(10) = 11365 j

heat lost by copper and unknown  material  =(0.3)(387)(-10) = -1161

heat lost by unknown  material  =  (0.070)(c)(-80) = -5.6 c

Now solve for c using the calorimetry principle.

Heat lost + Heat gained = 0

⇒ -5.6 c = -11365 - (-1161) = -10204 j

Specific heat of unknown material = - 10204 / -5.6

                                                         = 1822.14  j/kg C  

b) Material having a specific heat of 1800 j /kg C is

Polyurethane elastomer.

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

14 rev

Explanation:

w_{o} = initial angular velocity = 2.5 revs⁻¹

w = final angular velocity = 0.8 revs⁻¹

\alpha = Angular acceleration = - 0.2 revs⁻²

\theta = Angular displacement

Using the equation

w^{2} = w_{o}^{2} + 2 \alpha \theta\\0.8^{2} = 2.5^{2} + 2 (- 0.2) \theta\\ \theta = 14 rev

So the number of revolutions are 14

W = _|....F*dx*cos(a)........With F=force, x=distance over which force acts on object,
.......0.............................and a=angle between force and direction of travel.

Since the force is constant in this case we don't need the equation to be an integral expression, and since the force in question - the force of friction - is always precisely opposite the direction of travel (which makes (a) equal to 180 deg, and cos(a) equal to -1) the equation can be rewritted like so:

W = F*x*(-1) ............ or ............. W = -F*x

The force of friction is given by the equation: Ffriction = Fnormal*(coeff of friction)

Also, note that the total work is the sum of all 45 passes by the sandpaper. So our final equation, when Ffriction is substituted, is:

W = (-45)(Fnormal)(coeff of friction)(distance)
W = (-45)...(1.8N).........(0.92).........(0.15m)
W = ................-11.178 Joules
