Answer:

1.48 kg

Explanation:

mass of copper = 4 kg

Decrease in temperature of copper = 36.9°C

increase in temperature of water = 9.20°C

Let the mass of water is m.

Specific heat of water = 4181 J/Kg°C

Specific heat of copper = 385 J/kg°C

According to the principle of caloriemetery

Heat lost by copper = heat gained by water

mass of copper x specific heat of copper x decrease in temperature = mass of water x specific heat of water x increase in temperature

4 x 385 x 36.9 = m x 4181 x 9.20

56826 = 38465.2 m

m = 1.48 kg

Thus, the mas of water is 1.48 kg.

. A 6 ohm resistor is connected to a 15 volt battery.
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

2.5A , 22500 JOULE

Explanation:

Resistance (R)= 6 ohm

Voltage (V) = 15 volt

a)

Current (I) = ?

From ohm's law,

V=IR

15 = 6*I

I = 2.5 A

b)

time(t) = 10min = 600 second

heat energy (Q) = ?

from Joule's law of heating,

Q = I²*R*t

Q = 2.5² *6*600

Q = 22500 Joule

hence, heat energy produced is 22500 joule.

A carpenter is driving a 15.0-g steel nail into a board. His 1.00-kg hammer is moving at 8.50 m/s when it strikes the nail. Half
bekas [8.4K]

Answer: The increase in temperature of the nail after the three blows is 8.0636 Kelvins. The correct option is (d).

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of the hammer ,K.E.=

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}1.00 kg\times (8.50 m/s)^2=36.125 J

Half of the kinetic energy of the hammer is transformed into heat in the nail.

Energy transferred to the nail in one blow =

\frac{1}{2}K.E.=\frac{1}{2}\times 36.125 J=18.0625 J

Total energy transferred after 3 blows,Q =3\times 18.0625 J=54.1875 J

Mass of the nail = 15 g = 0.015 kg

Change in temperature =\Delta T

Specif heat of the steel = c = 448 J/kg K

Q=mc\Delta T

54.1875 J=0.015 kg\times 448 J/kg K\times \Delta T

\Delta T=8.0636 K\approx 8.1 K

The increase in temperature of the nail after the three blows is 8.1  Kelvins.Hence, correct option is (d).
