a piece of metal with a mass of 15.3 grams has a temperature of 50.0°C. When the metal is placed in 80.2 grams of water at 21.0°

C, the temperature rises by 4.3°C. What is the specific heat capacity of the metal?

Answer:

1.21

Explanation:

Heat rise in the body happens due to heat supplied by water to the body.

Heat rise in body = m₁ c₁ ΔT₁

Where m₁ is mass of body and c₁ is its specific heat of body

Heat lost from water to the body = m₂ c₂ ΔT₂

Where m₂ is mass of water and c₂ is its specific heat of water ( c₂ =1 (since water))

Equating both:

        15.3 x c₁ x 4.3 = 80.2 x 1 x 4.3

⇒   c₁ = 80.2 / (15.3 x 4.3) = 1.21

Answer:

c₁ =  3.68 J/g°C

Explanation:

The quantity of heat Q gained by a body of mass m, specific heat capacity, c and temperature change ΔT is  Q = mcΔT. Let m₁, c₁ and m₂, c₂ represent the masses and specific heat capacities of the metal and water respectively. ΔT₂ for the water = 4.3°C. This means that its final temperature of the water after the metal has been placed in it is 21.0°C + 4.3°C = 24.3°C, which is the final temperature of the metal. So ΔT₁ for metal = 24.3°C - 50.0°C = -25.7°C.

Since heat loss equals heat gain

-m₁c₁ΔT₁ = m₂c₂ΔT₂

c₁ = -m₂c₂ΔT₂/m₁ΔT₁

c₁ = -80.2 × 4.2 × 4.3/15.3 × -25.7 = -1448.412/(-393.21) = 3.683 J/g°C

c₁ ≈  3.68 J/g°C

A record turntable rotates through 5.0 rad in 2.8 s as it is accelerated uniformly from rest. What is the angular velocity at th
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

\omega_f = 3.584\ rad/s

Explanation:

given,

turntable rotate to, θ = 5 rad

time, t = 2.8 s

initial angular speed  = 0 rad/s

final angular speed = ?

now, using equation of rotational motion

\theta = \omega_i t + \dfrac{1}{2}\alpha t^2

5 = 0+ \dfrac{1}{2}\alpha\times 2.8^2

\alpha= \dfrac{10}{2.8^2}

       α = 1.28 rad/s²

now, calculation of angular velocity

\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t

\omega_f =0 +1.28\times 2.8

\omega_f = 3.584\ rad/s

hence, the angular velocity at the end is equal to 3.584 rad/s

katen-ka-za [31]
 The first right-hand rule determines the directions of magnetic force, conventional current and the magnetic field.  Given any two of theses, the third can be found. 
The second Right-Hand Rule determines the direction of the magnetic field around a current-carrying wire and vice-versa<span> </span>
So, assuming that a magnetic field <span>exists and its direction is known and assuming that a charged particle moves in a specific direction through that field with velocity (v(, to determine the direction of force on the particle we should use the second right-hand rule.</span>

Complete the steps for converting 3.6 gallons per minute to milliliters per second. (1 gallon = 3.79 liters and 1 liter = 1,000
AlekseyPX

Given that,

Capacity = 3.6 gallons per minutes

Convert it into milliliters per seconds

Since, 1 gallon = 3.79 liters

1 liters = 1000 milliliters

Capacity= (3.6*3.79*1000)/(60)

Capacity = 227.4 milliliters per second.

Can something have energy without having momentum? explain. can something have momentum without having energy? defend your answe
marta [7]
Momentum  is a product mass and velocity. If a certain object posses a kinetic energy, then it should have a momentum since it is moving which has a velocity. However, if the object is at rest and only has potential energy, then it would not have momentum. So, for the first question the answer would be yes, an object can have energy without having any momentum. For the second question, every object whether it is moving or at rest, possess some energy, potential for an object at rest and kinetic for an object that is moving. Thus, the answer would be no, an object having momentum would always have energy.
