water in a cup and a kettle can have the same temperature even though the quantities are different . give reasons​

Physics
1 answer:
jekas [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The reason is because both are exposed to a virtually infinite heat sink, due to the virtually infinite mass  and of the surrounding environment, compared to the sizes of either the cup or the kettle such that the equilibrium temperature, T_{(equilibrium)} reached is the same for both the cup and the kettle as given by the relation;

\infty M_{(environ)} \times  c_{(environ)} \times (T_2 - T_1) = m_{1} \times  c_{(water)} \times (T_3 - T_2) + m_{2} \times  c_{(water)} \times (T_4 - T_2)

Due to the large heat sink, T₂ - T₁ ≈ 0 such that the temperature of the kettle and that of the cup will both cool to the temperature of the environment

Now that you are familiar with MRI's, nanotechnology and micro-bots, use your imagination to brainstorm other probable invention
dlinn [17]

Cancer research, solar panel production and agricultural innovation will all be key areas for nano tech, and so will clothing design, cosmetics manufacturing and many others are some of the new developments.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nanotechnology is also being applied to or developed for application to a variety of industrial and purification processes. Purification and environmental cleanup applications include the desalination of water, water filtration, wastewater treatment, groundwater treatment, and other nano remediation.

Nanotechnology offers the potential for new and faster kinds of computers, more efficient power sources and life-saving medical treatments. Potential disadvantages include economic disruption and possible threats to security, privacy, health and the environment.

Copper has a specific heat of 0.09 cal/g x C . How much change in temperature would the addition of 8373 cal of heat have on a 5
neonofarm [45]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

172.92 °C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Concept being tested: Quantity of heat

We are given;

  • Specific heat capacity of copper as 0.09 cal/g°C
  • Quantity of heat is 8373 calories
  • Mass of copper sample as 538.0 g

We are required to calculate the change in temperature.

  • In this case we need to know that the amount of heat absorbed or gained by a substance is given by the product of mass, specific heat capacity and change in temperature.
  • That is, Q = m × c × ΔT

Therefore, to calculate the change in temperature, ΔT we rearrange the formula;

ΔT = Q ÷ mc

Thus;

ΔT = 8373 cal ÷ (538 g × 0.09 cal/g°C)

    = 172.92 °C

Therefore, the change in temperature will be 172.92 °C

4. Which of the following would be a good reference point to describe the motion of a dog?
saul85 [17]

ANOTHER RUNNING DOG

Explanation:

In the given question it is to find a suitable reference point to describe  the motion of dog. Here I could suggest that it is better to compare the dog with  another running dog to create the relative speed difference to get a reliable motion variation.

Because the motion of dog is in the linear with respect to the another dog and to the acceleration produced by the dog in the required interval is easy to calculate with respect to  another dog which is already in motion.

Hence, I suggest that Motion of dog can be analysed better by analyse the motion variation of dog with  another dog running.

The moon has a weaker gravitational force than earth. sofia weighs 50 lbs. on earth. how much will she weigh on the moon?
kupik [55]
If Sofia weighs 50 lbs on Earth, then she would weigh 8.3 lbs, because you are 6 times lighter on the moon than you are on Earth!
