Answer: The house reflects mostly blue light.

Explanation: The color of an object as seen by our eyes is determined by the color of the light that they reflect.

In case of a blue painted house, all the other colors of white light ( which is a combination of multiple colors) falling on the house are absorbed and only the blue colored light gets reflected back. Hence the house appears to be blue to our eyes.

A 55.4 g sample of water at 99.61 °C is placed in a constant pressure calorimeter. Then, 23.4 g of zinc metal at 21.6 °C is adde

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of the zinc metal measured in this experiment is 0.427 J/g.°C

Explanation:

From the experimental data, the water loses heat because its initial temperature is greater than the final temperature of the mixture. On the other hand, the zinc metal gains heat because its initial temperature is less than the final temperature of the mixture

Heat loss by water = Heat gain by zinc metal

m1C1(T1 - T3) = m2C2(T3 - T2)

m1 is mass of water = 55.4 g

C1 is specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J/g.°C

m2 is mass of zinc metal = 23.4 g

C2 is specific heat capacity of zinc metal

T1 is the initial temperature of water = 99.61 °C

T2 is the initial temperature of zinc metal = 21.6 °C

T3 is the final temperature of the mixture = 96.4 °C

55.4×4.2(99.61 - 96.4) = 23.4×C2(96.4 - 21.6)

746.9028 = 1750.32C2

C2 = 746.9028/1750.32 = 0.427 J/g.°C

a man drags a 8.10 kg bag of mulch at a constant speed, applying a 29.5 N at 38°. what is the coefficient of friction?

lesantik [10]

Answer:

The coefficient of friction is 0.38.

Explanation:

The free body diagram is drawn below.

Let $f$ be frictional force acting in the backward direction as shown. Let the coefficient of friction be $\mu$ . Let $N$ be the normal reaction force acting on the bag.

Given:

Mass of the bag is, $m=8.10\textrm{ kg}$

Force acting at $\theta = 38$ ° is $F= 29.5\textrm{ N}$

Acceleration due to gravity is, $g=9.8\textrm{ }m/s^{2}$

The force F can be resolved into its components as $F_{x}=F \cos \theta$ and $F_{y}=F \sin \theta$

Therefore,

$F_{x}=29.5\cos(38)=23.25\textrm{ N}\\F_{y}=29.5\sin(38)=18.16\textrm{ N}$

Now, as there is no acceleration in vertical direction, therefore,

Sum of upward forces = Sum of downward forces

$N+F_{y}=mg\\N=mg-F_{y}=8.10\times 9.8-18.16\\N=79.38-18.16=61.22\textrm{ N}$

Now, as the bag is moving at a constant speed, so acceleration in the horizontal direction is also zero as acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.

Therefore, backward force = forward force.

$f=F_{x}\\f=23.25\textrm{ N}$
