An aluminum cup contains 225 g of water and a 40-g copper stirrer, all at 27°C. A 470-g sample of silver at an initial temperat

ure of 85°C is placed in the water. The stirrer is used to stir the mixture gently until it reaches its final equilibrium temperature of 32°C. Calculate the mass of the aluminum cup.

Answer:

Mal = 0.232 kg = 232 g

Explanation:

mass of water (Mw) = 225 g = 0.225 kg

mass of copper stirrer (Mcu) = 40 g = 0.04 kg

initial temperature of water (Tw) = 27 degrees

mass of silver (Mag) = 470 g = 0.47 kg

initial temperature of silver (Ts) = 85 degrees

final temperature of the mixture (T) = 32 degrees

find the mass of the aluminum cup (Mal)

applying the conservation of energy

((Mal.cAl) + (Mw.cW) + (Mcu.cCu))(ΔTw) = (Mag.cAg)(ΔTag)

we require the specific heat capacities of water (cW) , aluminium (cAl) , copper (cCu) and silver (cAg) which are as follows

water (cW) =4186 J/kg.K

aluminium (cAl) = 900 J/kg.K

copper (cCu) = 387 J/kg.K

silver (cAg) = 234 J/kg.K

now we can put in our values to get the mass of the Aluminium cup (Mag)

((Mal.900) + (0.225 x 4186) + (0.04 x 387))(32-27) = (0.47 x 234)(85-32)

(900 . Mal + 957.33) x 5 = 5828.94

900 .Mal + 957.33 = 1165.79

900.Mal = 1165.79 - 957.33 = 208.5

Mal = 0.232 kg = 232 g

A ball is thrown vertically upward (assumed to be the positive direction) with a speed of 24.0 m/s from a height of 3.0 m. (a) H
SashulF [63]

Answer:

a) 29.36 m

b) 2.44 s

c) 2.57 s

d) 25.117 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 24 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

b)

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=24-9.81\times t\\\Rightarrow \frac{-24}{-9.81}=t\\\Rightarrow t=2.44 \s

Time taken by the ball to reach the highest point is 2.44 seconds

a)

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=24\times 2.44+\frac{1}{2}\times -9.81\times 2.44^2\\\Rightarrow s=29.35\ m

The highest point reached by the ball above its release point is 29.36 m

c) Total height is 3+29.35 = 32.35 m

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 32.35=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{32.35\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=2.57\ s

The ball reaches the ground 2.57 seconds after reaching the highest point

d)

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+9.81\times 2.57\\\Rightarrow v=25.2117\ m/s

The ball will hit the ground at 25.2117 m/s
