A hot (70°C) lump of metal has a mass of 250 g and a specific heat of 0.25 cal/g⋅°C. John drops the metal into a 500-g calorimet

er containing 75 g of water at 20°C.
The calorimeter is constructed of a material that has a specific heat of 0.10 cal/ g⋅°C.

When equilibrium is reached, what will be the final temperature? cwater = 1.00 cal/g⋅°C.

a. 114°Cb. 72°Cc. 64°Cd. 37°C

Answer:

d. 37 °C

Explanation:

m_{m} = mass of lump of metal = 250 g

c_{m} = specific heat of lump of metal  = 0.25 cal/g°C

T_{mi} = Initial temperature of lump of metal = 70 °C

m_{w} = mass of water = 75 g

c_{w} = specific heat of water = 1 cal/g°C

T_{wi} = Initial temperature of water = 20 °C

m_{c} = mass of calorimeter  = 500 g

c_{c} = specific heat of calorimeter = 0.10 cal/g°C

T_{ci} = Initial temperature of calorimeter = 20 °C

T_{f} = Final equilibrium temperature

Using conservation of heat

Heat lost by lump of metal = heat gained by water + heat gained by calorimeter

m_{m} c_{m} (T_{mi} - T_{f}) = m_{w} c_{w} (T_{f} - T_{wi}) +  m_{c} c_{c} (T_{f} - T_{ci}) \\(250) (0.25) (70 - T_{f} ) = (75) (1) (T_{f} - 20) + (500) (0.10) (T_{f} - 20)\\T_{f} = 37 C

choli [55]

Answer:

.5 units north

<em><u>or</u></em>

55 ft/minutes(<em>squared</em>) north

Explanation:

.5 is what your info gives me but if i take that the average distance a block is it is 660ft than the answer is 55.

Charge g is distributed in a spherically symmetric ball of radius a. (a) Evaluate the average volume charge density p. (b) Now a
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

The volume of a sphere is:

V = 4/3 * π * a^3

The volume charge density would then be:

p = Q/V

p = 3*Q/(4 * π * a^3)

If the charge density depends on the radius:

p = f(r) = k * r

I integrate the charge density in spherical coordinates. The charge density integrated in the whole volume is equal to total charge.

Q = \int\limits^{2*\pi}_0\int\limits^\pi_0  \int\limits^r_0 {k * r} \, dr * r*d\theta* r*d\phi

Q = k *\int\limits^{2*\pi}_0\int\limits^\pi_0  \int\limits^r_0 {r^3} \, dr * d\theta* d\phi

Q = k *\int\limits^{2*\pi}_0\int\limits^\pi_0 {\frac{r^4}{4}} \, d\theta* d\phi

Q = k *\int\limits^{2*\pi}_0 {\frac{\pi r^4}{4}} \,  d\phi

Q = \frac{\pi^2 r^4}{2}}

Since p = k*r

Q = p*π^2*r^3 / 2

Then:

p(r) = 2*Q / (π^2*r^3)

How does the thickness of the lens affects its focal length plz ans this i will mark as brainliest
Oksanka [162]

Hello! :)

The focal length of the lens tells you how far away from the lens a focused image is created, if light rays approaching the lens are parallel. A lens with more “bending power” has a shorter focal length, because it alters the path of the light rays more effectively than a weaker lens. Most of the time, you can treat a lens as being thin and ignore any effects from the thickness, because the thickness of the lens is much less than the focal length. But for thicker lenses, how thick they are does make a difference, and in general, results in a shorter focal length.

Hope I helped and didn’t answer too late!

Good luck and stay COOL!

The average velocity of blood flowing in a certain 4-mm-diameter artery in the human body is 0.28 m/s. The viscosity and density
OLga [1]

Answer:

V = 3.5 x 10⁻⁶ m³/s = 3.5 cm³/s

Explanation:

The volume flow rate of the blood in the artery can be given by the following formula:

V = Av

where,

V = Volume flow rate = ?

A = cross-sectional area of artery = πd²/4 = π(0.004 m)²/4 = 1.26 x 10⁻⁵ m²

v = velcoity = 0.28 m/s

Therefore,

V = (1.26\ x\ 10^{-5}\ m^2)(0.28\ m/s)

<u>V = 3.5 x 10⁻⁶ m³/s = 3.5 cm³/s</u>
