You pour 250 g of tea into a Styrofoam cup, initially at 80∘C and stir in a little sugar using a 100-g aluminum 20∘C spoon and l
jok3333 [9.3K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of energy and heat transferred in a body.

By definition we know that the heat lost must be equal to the heat gained, ie

Q_g = Q_l

Where,

Q = Heat exchange

The heat exchange is defined as

Q = c_p m \Delta T

Where,

c_p = Specific heat

m = mass

\Delta T= Change in Temperature

Therefore replacing we have that

Q_g = Q_l

c_{p-tea} m \Delta T =  c_{p-al} m \Delta T

Replacing with our values we have that

0.25*4180*(80-T) = 0.1*900*(T-20)

11.61*(80-T) = T-20

T= \frac{948.8}{11.61}

T = 75.24\°C

Therefore the highest possible temperature of the spoon when you finally take it out of the cup is 75.24°C

A machine takes 0.5 seconds to move a brick 1 meter and put 100 Joules of energy into it. (hint: Power is the amount of energy t
Flauer [41]

Answer:

200 Watts.

Explanation:

Power is defines as the amount of work expended per unit time. Mathematically, it is expressed as Power = Workdone/Time

Given parameters

Energy used up 100Joules

Distance moved by brick = 1 meters

Time taken by the machine = 0.5 secs

Power can also be written as Energy/Time

Required

We need to calculate the amount of power used up.

Power = 100J/0.5s

Power = 100/(1/2)

Power = 100 * 2/1

Power = 200Watts.

This shows that the machine would expend 200Watts of power

Why does the Polaris appear to remain stationary in the night sky when other stars show an apparent pattern?
yanalaym [24]
Because one pole of the Earth's axis of rotation (the North one) points
almost exactly toward Polaris.

If Polaris had a pimple or a bump somewhere on its edge, you'd see
the bump rotate around the whole edge, like a clock, once a day.  But
the whole star appears to stay in one place, because our axis points to it.

A 0.18 m radius pulley is free to rotate about a horizontal axis. A mass and a mass are attached by a massless string, which is
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

T = 1.766(M-m) Nm where M and m are the 2 masses of the objects

Explanation:

Let m and M be the masses of the 2 objects and M > m so the system would produce torque and rotational motion on the pulley. Force of gravity that exert on each of the mass are mg and Mg. Since Mg > mg, the net force on the system is Mg - mg or g(M - m) toward the heavier mass.

Ignore friction and string mass, and let g = 9.81 m/s2, the net torque on the pulley is the product of net force and arm distance to the pivot point, which is pulley radius r = 0.18 m

T = Fr = g(M - m)0.18 = 0.18*9.81(M - m) = 1.766(M-m) Nm
