How much energy is needed to raise the temperature of a 55g sample of aluminum from 22.4 to 94.6?

1 answer:

3 0

The heat needed is given by Mcθ , where m is the mass in Kg, c is the heat capacity of aluminium, and θ is the change in temperature.
Specific heat capacity of aluminium is 0.9 j/g°c
thus; Heat = 55 × 0.9 × 72.2
= 3573.9 Joules or 3.574 kJ

A sprinter accelerates at 7.5 m/s from rest in 2.0 s, what distance did she go? (15 m)

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The sprinter traveled a distance of 7.5 m

Explanation:

Motion With Constant Acceleration

It's a type of motion in which the rate of change of the velocity of an object is constant.

The equation that rules the change of velocities is:

$v_f=v_o+at\qquad\qquad [1]$

Where:

a = acceleration

vo = initial speed

vf = final speed

t = time

The distance traveled by the object is given by:

$\displaystyle x=v_o.t+\frac{a.t^2}{2}\qquad\qquad [2]$

Using the equation [1] we can solve for a:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}$

The sprinter travels from rest (vo=0) to vf=7.5 m/s in t=2 s. Computing the acceleration:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{7.5-0}{2}$

$a=3.75\ m/s^2$

Now calculate the distance:

$\displaystyle x=0*2+\frac{3.75*2^2}{2}$

$\displaystyle x=7.5\ m$

The sprinter traveled a distance of 7.5 m

I need help with question 26 this is from my physics textbook

Neko [114]

Suppose $a,b,c$ are measured in meters. Then the semiperimeter $s=\dfrac{a+b+c}2$ is also given in meters, so $s-a,s-b,s-c$ are all also given in meters. When multiplied together, $(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)$ is measured in cubic meters. Divide this by $s$ , measured in meters, and this reduces to square meters. Take the square root and you end up back with meters once again. So the formula is indeed dimensionally consistent.

What is the difference between current in series and in parallel

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each of the components is the same, and the total current is the sum of the currents flowing through each component. ... In a series circuit, every device must function for the circuit to be complete. If one bulb burns out in a series circuit, the entire circuit is broken.

Why does it hurt more to land on the wooden floor of a gym than on a padded mat?

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The wooden floor exerts a greater force to give the same impulse as a padded mat.

Explanation:

-The wooden floor exerts a greater force for the same impulse as the padded mat.

-Unlike the wooded floor, the padded mat absorbs some of the energy when you fall. This in turn makes it exert less force on the body during the fall.

-Hence, you are less hurt when you fall on the padded floor.
