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

Calculate the electric field strength at a point at which a test charge of 0.30 coulombs experiences a force of 5.0 newtons.
SVEN [57.7K]

The strength of electric field E is 17 N / C.

<u />

<u>Explanation:</u>

Electric field strength is defined as the force per unit charge acting at a point in the given field. The equation for the strength of the electric field is given by

                     E = F / q

where E represents the electric field strength,

           F represents the force in newton,

           q represents the charge in coulomb.

Given the charge q = 0.30 coulombs

                   force F = 5.0 N

Electric field strength E = force / charge

                                        = 5.0 / 0.30

                                    E  = 16.66 = 17 N / C.

A car was moving at 14 m/s After 30 s, its speed increased to 20 m/s. What was the acceleration during this time ( need help fas
Arada [10]

Answer:let initial velocity u=14m/s

Final velocity v=20m/s

Time taken t=30

Acceleration =a

V=u +at

a= (20-14)/30

a=0.2m/s^2

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity with respect to time.

Temperature and pressure of a region upstream of a shockwave are 295 K and 1.01* 109 N/m². Just downstream the shockwave, the te
seraphim [82]

Answer:

change in internal energy 3.62*10^5 J kg^{-1}

change in enthalapy  5.07*10^5 J kg^{-1}

change in entropy 382.79 J kg^{-1} K^{-1}

Explanation:

adiabatic constant \gamma =1.4

specific heat is given as =\frac{\gamma R}{\gamma -1}

gas constant =287 J⋅kg−1⋅K−1

Cp = \frac{1.4*287}{1.4-1} = 1004.5 Jkg^{-1} k^{-1}

specific heat at constant volume

Cv = \frac{R}{\gamma -1} = \frac{287}{1.4-1} = 717.5 Jkg^{-1} k^{-1}

change in internal energy = Cv(T_2 -T_1)

                            \Delta U = 717.5 (800-295)  = 3.62*10^5 J kg^{-1}

change in enthalapy \Delta H = Cp(T_2 -T_1)

                                 \Delta H = 1004.5*(800-295) = 5.07*10^5 J kg^{-1}

change in entropy

\Delta S =Cp ln(\frac{T_2}{T_1}) -R*ln(\frac{P_2}{P_1})

\Delta S =1004.5 ln(\frac{800}{295}) -287*ln(\frac{8.74*10^5}{1.01*10^5})

\Delta S = 382.79 J kg^{-1} K^{-1}

Jerome does not pay his balances off his credit cards each month. He often has to pay interest and finance charges. What is Jero
slega [8]

Jerome is referred to a debtor as he doesn't pay his balances off his credit cards each month.

<h3>Who is a Debtor?</h3>

This is defined as an individual who owes money while on the other hand a deadbeat is a person who pays his balances off his credit cards each month without having to pay interests.

Since jerome failed to pay the balances on the credit card then he is called a debtor.

The unit of current, the ampere, is defined in terms of the force between currents. Two 1.0-meter-long sections of very long wir
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

1.6 x 10^{-7} N

Explanation:

If the force between two actual wires has this value, the current is defined to be exactly 1 A.

The force between two parallel wires carrying current can be defined as,

F=  μI_{1} I_{2} L/ 2πd

where,

current I_{1} = 1Amp

current I_{2} = 2amp

Length 'L'= 1m

distance 'd'= 2.5m

permeability of free space 'μ'= 4πx10^{-7} N/m

Putting the above values in the equation,

F=( 4πx10^{-7} x 1 x 2 x 1 )/ 2πx2.5

F= 1.6 x 10^{-7} N
