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

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

b. Friction decreased when he went from pavement to ice and then increased two more times.

Explanation:

Frictional force depends on the normal force of the surface and a friction coefficient.

F_{f} = -\mu N

Since we're talking about the same car, the value of N will remain constant whereas μ will represent the change in the frictional coefficient of the surface. Now we consider the different surfaces, cars will slide in an icy road which means that the frictional coefficient is smaller than the pavement.

After Joshua returns to the pavement road, the resulting frictional force increases and will do so one more time when he reaches the gravel road. Gravel roads have greater frictional coefficients than pavement roads which means the frictional force will increase a second time.

Explain how do winds cause surface currents?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

As wind or an ocean current moves, the Earth spins underneath it. ... The Coriolis effect bends the direction of surface currents to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and left in the Southern Hemisphere.

Explanation:

The Coriolis effect causes winds and currents to form circular patterns.
