Answer:

Explanation:

There is no friction to stop you from moving BC you are in space, however you have a larger mass than the ball, so it takes more force to get you up to the same speed as the baseball. You will move in the opposite direction of the ball because you exerted force on the ball in one direction and therefore yourself in the opposing direction.

A 2.3 kg block of copper is heated at atmospheric pressure such that its temperature increases from 6 oC to 90 oC. How much heat

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

the heat absorbed by the block of copper is 74368.476J

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem use the first law of thermodynamics that states that the heat applied to a system is the difference between the initial and final energy considering that the mass and the specific heat do not change so we can infer the following equation

Q=mCp(T2-T1)

Where

Q=heat

m=mass=2.3kg

Cp=0.092 kcal/(kg C)=384.93J/kgK

T2=Final temperatura= 90C

T1= initial temperature=6 C

solving

$Q=(2.3kg)(384.93\frac{J}{kgC} )(90C-6C)=74368.476J$
