Let us say that Cp is the specific heat of the metal object. Then we do a heat balance (heat lost by metal = heat gained by water):

- 19g * Cp * (22degC – 96degC) = 75g * 4.184J/g degC * (22degC – 18degC)

<span>Cp = 0.893 J/g degC</span>

Answer;


Specific heat of the metal object  = 0.893 J/g°C  

Explanation and solution;

Quantity of heat = mass × specific heat capacity × change in temperature

ΔQ = Mcθ

Heat lost by the metal object = Heat gained by water

Heat lost by the metal object

= Mass of the metal object × specific heat of the metal ×change in temp

= 19 x specific heat ×( 22 - 96)

= 1406 × specific heat

Heat gained by water

= Mass of water × specific heat capacity of water × change in temperature

= 75 x 4.186 x ( 22 - 18)  

= 1255.8  J

Therefore;

= 1406 x specific heat = 1255.8  


Specific heat = 0.893 J/g°C

USPshnik [31]

Explanation:

(c) I assume we're looking for mA.

Sum of forces on B in the -y direction:

∑F = ma

mBg − T = mBa

Sum of forces on A in the +x direction:

∑F = ma

T = mAa

Substitute:

mBg − mAa = mBa

mBg − mBa = mAa

mA = mB (g − a) / a

Plug in values:

mA = (5 kg) (10 m/s² − 0.01 (10 m/s²)) / (0.01 (10 m/s²))

mA = 495 kg

The answer key seems to have a mistake.  It's possible they meant mB = 1 kg, or they changed mB to 5 kg but forgot to change the answer.

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

12.495m/s

Explanation:

Horizontal displacement is the range of the projectile motion.

The range is expressed as;

R = 2U/g

U is the speed at which the rock is thrown (initial speed)

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Given

R = 255cm = 2.55m

g = 9.8m/s²

Required

Speed U

Substitute the given parameters into the formula as shown;

2.55 = 2U/9.8

Cross multiply

2U = 2.55×9.8

2U = 24.99

U = 24.99/2

U = 12.495m/s

Hence the speed that you thew the rock is 12.495m/s

Explanation:

v=s/t

t=8:30-7:00=1:30

convert to second=5400second

s=60km covert to meter=6000

6000/5400=1.11111111

The resistance of a lamp that draws 0.5A of current when it is operated by a 12V battery will be Ω
lisabon 2012 [21]
According to Ohm's Law, the resistance, current and voltage are related as:

V = IR
⇒
R = V/I

V is given to be 12 Volts.
I is given to be 0.5 Ampere 

So, resistance will be:

R = 12/0.5 = 24 ohms
