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.

An electron microscope is usually used for microorganisms that are _____. too small to be seen with the unaided eye too small to
GaryK [48]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>too small to be seen with an optical microscope </em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>An electron microscope is a type of microscope that is used to observe very tiny specimens whose features can not be observed by other types of microscopes.</u></em> It uses a beam of electrons to generate an image of a given specimen whose features can be clearly observed and studied.
  • <em><u>Electron microscope has very high resolution and magnification as compared to other optical microscope </u></em>hence can be observed in the study of micro-organisms such as viruses which would be difficult to study their features using optical microscopes.

I need help find how much tension is in the string????
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

When a rope supports the weight of an object that is at rest, the tension in the rope is equal to the weight of the object: T = mg.

Image result for I need help find how much tension is in the string???? And can you explain how you got it after you get the answer plz????

Hence, in such a case the tension will be equal to the centrifugal force.

Formula for tension = centrifugal force = mv2/r.

So the formula of tension will be = centripetal force – force of gravity = mv2/r – mg = m(v2/r-g)

The formula of tension will be = centripetal force + force of gravity = mv2/r + mg = m(v2/r+g)
