The locks referred to here are the elevators that are used to transport boats safely from one water level to another in dams. These two varying water depths allow river traffic to operate  The attached picture shows how boats enter locks in dam sites.

To regulate traffic, there are traffic lights that signal boatmen to adjust their speed when approaching the lock. The red light means to stop and to steer clear away from the lock to allows the boats inside to exit. The green light signals to enter the lock. Lastly, the amber light means approach the lock at a safe speed and under full control.

A 0.5 kg block of aluminum (caluminum=900J/kg⋅∘C) is heated to 200∘C. The block is then quickly placed in an insulated tub of co
Genrish500 [490]

Answer: When 1.0kg of aluminium block is used, the final temperature of the mixture will be T = 36.2∘C

If 1.0kg copper block is used, T of the mixture will be = 17.4∘C

If 100g (0.1kg) of ice at 0∘C is used, T will be = 64.9∘C

If 25g (0.025Kg) of ice is used, T will be= 147.1∘C

Explanation:

H = mcΘ

heat lost by block = heat gained by water

m₁c₁Θ₁ = m₂c₂Θ₂ where m₁ is mass of aluminium, m₂ is mass of water, c₁ is cAluminium, c₂ is cWater, Θ₁ is temperature change for aluminium, Θ₂ is temperature change for water.

0.5*900*(200-20) = m₁*4186*(20-0)

m₁ = 450*180/83270

<em>m₁ = 0.973kg</em>

<em>when 1.0kg of aluminium block is used, the final temperature of the mixture will be </em><em>T</em>

heat lost by block = heat gained by water

1.0*900*(200-T) = 0.973*4186*(T-0)

180000 - 900T = 4073T

4973T = 180000

T = 180000/4973 = 36.2∘C

<em>If 1.0kg copper block is used, T of the mixture will be</em>

heat lost by block = heat gained by water

1.0*387*(200-T) = 0.973*4186*(T-0)

77400 - 387T = 4073T

4460T = 77400

T = 77400/4460 = 17.4∘C

<em>If 100g (0.1kg) of ice at 0∘C is used, T will be</em>

<em>heat lost by block = heat gained by water + heat used in melting ice to form water at 0∘C</em>

heat used in melting 0.1kg of ice, H = ml, where l= 33600J/Kg

0.5*900*(200-T) = 0.1*4186*(T-0) + 0.1*33600J/Kg

90000 - 450T =  418.6T + 33600

418.6T + 450T = 90000 - 33600

868.6T = 56400

T = 56400/868.6 = 64.9∘C

If 25g (0.025Kg) of ice is used, T will be

0.5*900*(200-T) = 0.025*4186*(T-0) + 0.025*33600J/Kg

90000 - 450T =  104.65T + 8400

104.65T + 450T = 90000 - 8400

554.65T = 81600

T = 81600/554.65 = 147.1∘C

What causes convection currents, and what do they do?
frez [133]

Answer:

Convection currents are the result of different heating. Lighter material (warm) rises while heavier (cold) material sinks. This movement of the materials is what causes convection currents! (BTW, it happens in water, in the atmosphere, and in the mantle of Earth!

I hope this helps a little! :)
