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 flywheel with radius of 0.300 m starts from rest and accelerates with a constant angular acceleration of 0.400 rad/s2.For a po
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

0.12\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

The radius of a flywheel, r = 0.3 m

Angular acceleration of a flywheel, \alpha =0.4\ rad/s^2

We need to find the magnitude of the tangential acceleration after 2.00 s of acceleration.

The relation between the tangential and angular acceleration is given by :

a_t=r\alpha \\\\a_t=0.3\times 0.4\\\\a_t=0.12\ m/s^2

So, the required magnitude of tangential acceleration is 0.12\ m/s^2.

Answer:

Professor Hawking had just turned 21 when he was diagnosed with a very rare slow-progressing form of ALS, a form of motor neurone disease (MND). He was at the end of his time at Oxford when he started to notice early signs of his disease. He was getting more clumsy and fell over several times without knowing why.
