Answer:

0.46 J/g^{\circ}C

Explanation:

The heat absorbed by the piece of iron is given by:

Q=m C_s \Delta T

where here we have

Q = 1086.75 J is the heat absorbed

m = 15.75 g is the mass of the piece of iron

Cs is the iron's specific heat

\Delta T=175^{\circ}C-25^{\circ} C=150^{\circ}C is the change in temperature of the piece of iron

If we re-arrange the formula and we solve for Cs, we find the iron's specific heat capacity:

C_s=\frac{Q}{m \Delta T}=\frac{1086.75 J}{(15.75 g)(150^{\circ}C)}=0.46 J/gC

What is the kinetic energy of a 120-cm thin uniform rod with a mass of 450 g that is rotating about its center at 3.60 rad/s?
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

1.05 J.

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy: This is the energy possessed by a body due to its motion. The S.I unit of kinetic energy is Joules (J). The formula of kinetic energy is given as

Ek = 1/2mv²................. Equation 1

Where Ek = kinetic energy, m = mass of the uniform rod, v = liner velocity of the rod.

But,

v = αr .......................... Equation 2

Where α = angular velocity of the rod, r = radius of the circle.

Given: α = 3.6 red/s, r = 120/2 = 60 cm = 0.6 m.

Substitute into equation 2

v = 3.6(0.6)

v = 2.16 m/s.

Also given: m = 450 g = 0.45 kg.

Substitute into equation 1

Ek = 1/2(0.45)(2.16²)

Ek = 1.05 J.

Tresset [83]

Answer

D.Diffraction

Explanation

Diffraction is a property that is experienced by waves when they come across a barrier when they are in motion.

The ways tends to curve behind the barrier. This is called diffraction of waves.

Now, sound is a wave and it also experience diffraction. . So the brother will be able to hear the sound due to diffraction
