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

When the object is at half its amplitude from equilibrium, is the magnitude of its acceleration at half its maximum value?
Nezavi [6.7K]
We have F = kx or ma = kx where m and k are constants. Therefore, if x is halved, a must be halved too.

A heat engine does 9200 J of work per cycle while absorbing 22.0 kcal of heat from a hightemperature reservoir. What is the effi
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer: 9.9%

Explanation: efficiency = (work output /work input) × 100

Note that, 1 kilocalorie = 4184 joules, hence 22kcal = 22× 4184 = 92048 joules.

Work output = 9200 j and work input = 92048 j

Efficiency = (9200/92048) × 100 = 0.099 × 100 = 9.9%

A 100 Kg man is diving off a 50 meter cliff. What is his kinetic energy when he is 20 meters from the water?
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

K.E=29.403125J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass M=100

Height 50-20=30m

Generally the equation for velocity before impact is is is mathematically given by

v=\sqrt{2gh}

v=\sqrt{2*9.8*30}

v=24.25

Generally the equation for Kinetic Energy is is mathematically given by

K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

K.E=\frac{1}{2}*100*(24.25)^2\\

K.E=29403.125J

K.E=29.403125J
