A piece of hot copper of mass 4.00 kg has it's temperature decrease by 36.90 ºC when it is placed in a body of water of unknown

mass. The temperature of the water is raised by 9.20 ºC. What is the mass of the water?
The heat capacity of Water is 4181 J/kg ºC.

The heat capacity of Copper is 385 J/kg ºC.

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.

To distinguish between properties of the two major types of supernovae: massive star supernovae and white dwarf supernovae. all
const2013 [10]
<span>In my opinion, I myself believe that there are only two supernovae. The first is the white dwarf. It makes sense because if something is too big for its size, it will "explode". Just like a basketball with too much air. Massive star supernovae is like something has reached it's full potential and cannot get any bigger or better.</span>

Answer:

<em>Correct choice: b 4H</em>

Explanation:

<u>Conservation of the mechanical energy</u>

The mechanical energy is the sum of the gravitational potential energy GPE (U) and the kinetic energy KE (K):

E = U + K

The GPE is calculated as:

U = mgh

And the kinetic energy is:

\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Where:

m = mass of the object

g = gravitational acceleration

h = height of the object

v = speed at which the object moves

When the snowball is dropped from a height H, it has zero speed and therefore zero kinetic energy, thus the mechanical energy is:

U_1 = mgH

When the snowball reaches the ground, the height is zero and the GPE is also zero, thus the mechanical energy is:

\displaystyle U_2=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Since the energy is conserved, U1=U2

\displaystyle mgH=\frac{1}{2}mv^2    \qquad\qquad [1]

For the speed to be double, we need to drop the snowball from a height H', and:

\displaystyle mgH'=\frac{1}{2}m(2v)^2

Operating:

\displaystyle mgH'=4\frac{1}{2}m(v)^2 \qquad\qquad [2]

Dividing [2] by [1]

\displaystyle \frac{mgH'}{mgH}=\frac{4\frac{1}{2}m(v)^2}{\frac{1}{2}m(v)^2}

Simplifying:

\displaystyle \frac{H'}{H}=4

Thus:

H' = 4H

Correct choice: b 4H
