Answer:

It will slowly come to a stop as long as it is moving on a flat surface

Explanation:

If the cart is moving on a flat surface, it will slowly come to a stop due to the friction forces acting on its wheels.

If the cart is on an inclined surface, it may gain acceleration enough to overcome any friction force, and thus continue with an accelerated motion.

An aluminum calorimeter with a mass of 100 g contains 250 g of water. The calorimeter and water are in thermal equilibrium at 10

Answer:

a) $c=1822.3214\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

b) This value of specific heat is close to the specific heat of ice at -40° C and the specific heat of peat (a variety of coal).

c) The material is peat, possibly.

d) The material cannot be ice because ice doesn't exists at a temperature of 100°C.

Explanation:

Given:

mass of aluminium, $m_a=0.1\ kg$

mass of water, $m_w=0.25\ kg$

initial temperature of the system, $T_i=10^{\circ}C$

mass of copper block, $m_c=0.1\ kg$

temperature of copper block, $T_c=50^{\circ}C$

mass of the other block, $m=0.07\ kg$

temperature of the other block, $T=100^{\circ}C$

final equilibrium temperature, $T_f=20^{\circ}C$

We have,

specific heat of aluminium, $c_a=910\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

specific heat of copper, $c_c=390\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

specific heat of water, $c_w=4186\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

Using the heat energy conservation equation.

The heat absorbed by the system of the calorie-meter to reach the final temperature.

$Q_{in}=m_a.c_a.(T_f-T_i)+m_w.c_w.(T_f-T_i)$

$Q_{in}=0.1\times 910\times (20-10)+0.25\times 4186\times (20-10)$

$Q_{in}=11375\ J$

The heat released by the blocks when dipped into water:

$Q_{out}=m_c.c_c.(T_c-T_f)+m.c.(T-T_f)$

where

$c=$ specific heat of the unknown material

For the conservation of energy : $Q_{in}=Q_{out}$

so,

$11375=0.1\times 390\times (50-20)+0.07\times c\times (100-20)$

$c=1822.3214\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

This value of specific heat is close to the specific heat of ice at -40° C and the specific heat of peat (a variety of coal).

The material is peat, possibly.

The material cannot be ice because ice doesn't exists at a temperature of 100°C.

A block starting from rest slides down the length of an 18 plank with an acceleration of 4.0 meters per second. How long does th

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{\sf \Large 3.0 s}}$

Explanation:

Use distance formula

$\displaystyle d=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$

$u= \text{\sf initial velocity}\\d= \text{\sf distance}\\a= \text{\sf acceleration}\\t= \text{\sf time taken}$

$\displaystyle 18=0 \times t+\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times t^2$

$t=3$

What is the difference between continuous and a discontinuous spectrum?

aleksklad [387]

A continuous spectrum contains all the wavelengths

A discontinuous spectrum has strips of specific colors and can be used to identify the elements making it.
