The coefficient of cubical expansion of a substance depends upon

1 answer:

7 0

I think that the coefficient of cubical expansion of a substance depends on THE CHANGE IN VOLUME.

Cubical expansion, also known as, volumetric expansion has the following formula:

Δ V = β V₁ ΔT

V₁ = initial volume of the body
ΔT = change in temperature of the body
β = coefficient of volumetric expansion.

β is defined as the increase in volume per unit original volume per Kelvin rise in temperature.

With the above definition, it is safe to assume that the coefficient of cubical expansion of a substance depends on the change in volume, which also changes in response to the change in temperature.

Twenty grams of a solid at 70°C is place in 100 grams of a fluid at 20°C. Thermal equilibrium is reached at 30°C.

zaharov [31]

Answer:

c. is more than that of the fluid.

Explanation:

This problem is based on the conservation of energy and the concept of thermal equilibrium

$heat= m s \Delta T
$

m= mass

s= specific heat

\DeltaT=change in temperature

let s1= specific heat of solid and s2= specific heat of liquid

then

Heat lost by solid= $20(s_1)(70-30)=800s_1
$

Heat gained by fluid= $100(s_2)(30-20)=1000s_2
$

Now heat gained = heat lost

therefore,

1000 S_2=800 S_1

S_1=1.25 S_2

so the specific heat of solid is more than that of the fluid.

What is the gravitational potential energy of a 3 kg ball kicked into the air at a height of 5 meters?

sladkih [1.3K]

formula for gravitational P.E =mgh

Solution:-mass=3kg height=5metre and gravity=9.8 or 10m/sec² so P.E=mgh , 3×9.8×5=147kgm²/sec²

Ms. Stafford wants to try racing with a push start. A student pushes her at 5 m/s before the rocket kicks in. The rocket still o

Gnom [1K]

The initial velocity of Ms. Stafford is $v_0 = 5 m/s$ , while her acceleration is
$a=4 m/s^2$
This is a uniform accelerated motion, so we can calculate the total distance travelled by Ms. Stafford in a time of $t=7.0 s$ using the law of motion for a uniform accelerated motion:
$S=v_0t + \frac{1}{2} at^2 = (5 m/s)(7.0 s)+ \frac{1}{2}(2 m/s^2)(7.0 s)^2 = 84 m$
