The final temperature of the mixture is about 28.8°C

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Specific Heat Capacity is the amount of energy needed to raise temperature of 1 kg body for 1°C.

\large {\boxed{Q = m \times c \times \Delta t} }

<em>Q = Energy ( Joule )</em>

<em>m = Mass ( kg ) </em>

<em>c = Specific Heat Capacity ( J / kg°C ) </em>

<em>Δt = Change In Temperature ( °C )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

initial temperature of water = t₁ = 20.9°C

specific heat capacity of water = c = 4.186 J/gK

mass of copper = m₁ = 155.0 g

mass of water = m₂ = 250.0 g

initial temperature of copper = t₁' = 168°C

specific heat capacity of copper = c' = 0.385 J/gK

<u>Asked:</u>

final temperature of the mixture = t = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

We can calculate the final temperature of the water by using Conservation of Energy as shown below:

Q_{lost} = Q_{gain}

m_1c'(t_1' - t) = m_2c(t - t_1)

155(0.385)(168 - t) = 250(4.186)(t - 20.9)

59.675(168 - t) = 1046.5(t - 20.9)

10025.4 - 59.675t = 1046.5t - 21871.85

t = ( 10025.4 + 21871.85 ) \div ( 59.675 + 1046.5 )

t \approx 28.8^oC

Note that
The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/(g -C)

Let x = the final equilibrium temperature.

Heat loss by the copper is
(155 g)*(0.385 J/(g -C))*(168 - x C) = 59.675(168 -x) J

Heat gain by the water is
(250 g)*(4.184 J/(g-C))*(x - 20.9 C) = 1046(x - 20.9) J

Because there is no heat loss to the surroundings, therefore
59.675(168 - x) = 1046(x - 20.9)
168 - x = 17.5283(x - 20.9)
18.5283x = 534.3415
x = 28.84 °C

Answer:  28.8 °°C  nearest tenth)

17. (a) Will the electric field strength between two parallel conducting plates exceed the breakdown strength for air ( 3.0×106
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Distance between plates d = 2 x 10⁻³m

Potential diff applied = 5 x 10³ V

Electric field = Potential diff applied /  d

= 5 x 10³  / 2 x 10⁻³

= 2.5 x 10⁶ V/m

This is less than  breakdown strength for air  3.0×10⁶ V/m

b ) Let the plates be at a separation of d .so

5 x 10³ / d = 3.0×10⁶ ( break down voltage )

d = 5 x 10³  / 3.0×10⁶

= 1.67 x 10⁻³ m

= 1.67 mm.

Which of the following is true concerning hurricanes?
densk [106]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

B. is correct because every time usually when a hurricane hits it causes flooding causing multiple homes to be ruined. It is a known fact that usually hurricanes start close or in along with tornadoes, the water, meaning once they hit land they have some water to flood that land with.

C. is absolutely false hurricanes have VERY strong wind gusts.

D. is absolutely wrong they do alter landscapes by ripping trees and plants and houses out of the ground making the landscapes look different.

A. is wrong they tend to deposit and remove sediment evenly.
