Answer: Final temperature of a gold nugget will be 297 K

Explanation:

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.

$q=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

q = heat released = -4.85 kJ = -4850 J

m = mass of metal = 376 g

$T_{final}$ = final temperature of metal = ?

$T_{initial}$ = initial temperature of metal = 398 K

c = specific heat of metal =

$-4850=376\times 0.128\times (T_{final}-398)$

$(T_{final}-398)=-101$

$(T_{final}=297K$

Thus the final temperature of a gold nugget will be 297 K

A dime is placed in front of a concave mirror that has a radius of curvature R = 0.40 m. The image of the dime is inverted and t

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

distance between the dime and the mirror, u = 0.30 m

Given:

Radius of curvature, r = 0.40 m

magnification, m = - 2 (since,inverted image)

Solution:

Focal length is half the radius of curvature, f = $\frac{r}{2}$

f = $\frac{0.40}{2} = 0.20 m$

Now,

m = - $\frac{v}{u}$

- 2 = - $\frac{v}{u}$

$\frac{v}{u}$ = 2 (2)

Now, by lens maker formula:

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}$

$\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u}$

v = $\frac{uf}{u - f}$ (3)

From eqn (2):

v = 2u

put v = 2u in eqn (3):

2u = $\frac{uf}{u - f}$

2 = $\frac{f}{u - f}$

2(u - 0.20) = 0.20

u = 0.30 m

The gymnast has a mass of 45 kg gravitational field strength = 9.8 N/kg - Calculate the weight of the gymnast. Use the equation:

tia_tia [17]

Answer: B. The gravitational field strength of Planet X is Wx/m.

Explanation:

Weight is a force, and as we know by the second Newton's law:

F = m*a

Force equals mass times acceleration.

Then if the weight is:

Wx, and the mass is m, we have the equation:

Wx = m*a

Where in this case, a is the gravitational field strength.

Then, isolating a in that equation we get:

Wx/m = a

Then the correct option is:

B. The gravitational field strength of Planet X is Wx/m.

. One long wire carries a current of 30 A along the entire x axis. A second-long wire carries a current of 40 A perpendicular to

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

magnitude of net magnetic field at given point is

$B = 5 \times 10^{-6} T$

Explanation:

As we know that magnetic field due to a long current carrying wire is given as

$B = \frac{\mu_o i}{2\pi r}$

here we we will find the magnetic field due to wire which is along x axis is given as

$i = 30 A$

r = 2 m

now we have

$B_1 = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7} (30)}{2\pi (2m)}$

$B_1 = 3\times 10^{-6} T$ into the plane

Now similarly magnetic field due to another wire which is perpendicular to xy plane is given as

$i = 40 A$

r = 2 m

now we have

$B_2 = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7} (40)}{2\pi (2m)}$

$B_2 = 4\times 10^{-6} T$ along + x direction

Since the two magnetic field is perpendicular to each other

So here net magnetic field is given as

$B = \sqrt{B_1^2 + B_2^2}$

$B = 5 \times 10^{-6} T$

Find an expression for the square of the orbital period.

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

T²= 4π²R³/GM

Explanation:

First we know that

Fg= Fc

Because centripetal force must equal gravitational force

So

GMm/R² = Mv²/R

But velocity is 2πR/T

So by substitution we have

GMm/R²= M (2πR/T)/T

We have

T²= 4π²R³/GM as period

How could pig xenotransplantation affect humans?

Korolek [52]

It could cause them to catch animal disease

Explanation:

Xenotransplantation refers to the transplantation of organs or tissues between different species. E.g. Chimpanzee organ (liver) being transplanted into a human body would come under the category of xenotransplantation.

Pigs have come up as prospective organ donors since their organs and tissues are more or less to that of human’s. However, there are issues such as-

Xenotransplantation of pig’s tissue into a human would allow easier passage for all types of zoonotic viruses.
Moreover, if transgenic pigs are used instead of natural pigs it can lead to virus mutation as per the human body demands thus leading to increased susceptibility to human infection.

Thus, engrafting of pig’s tissue in the human body poses a significant risk for humans of catching a zoonotic (animal) disease.
