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

The weight of a cuboid box is 288 N. Find its mass.

zalisa [80]

Answer:

29.39 kg

Explanation:

From the question,

W = mg...................... Equation 1

Where W = weight of the cuboid box, m = mass of the cuboid box, g = acceleration due to gravity.

make m the subject of the equation

m = W/g.................. Equation 2

Given: W = 288 N

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 2

m = 288/9.8

m = 29.39 kg

A faulty thermometer reads 2°C when dipped in ice at 0°C and 95°C when dipped in steam at 100°C. What would this thermometer rea

kvasek [131]

Answer:

The read will be 20.9[C] $x=\frac{(y-y_{1} )}{(y_{2} -y_{1} )}*(x_{2}-x_{1})+y_{1}\\ x=\frac{(18-0 )}{(95 -0 )}*(100-2)+2\\\\x= 20.9[C]$

Explanation:

This is a problem related to linear interpolation, Linear interpolation consists of tracing a line through two known points y = r (x) and calculating the intermediate values according to this line.

The equation of a known line two points (x1, y1)and (x2, y2) = (2,0) (100,95) is:

$\frac{(y-y_{1} )}{(y_{2} -y_{1} )}=\frac{(x-y_{1} )}{(x_{2}-x_{1} )}$
