An unknown substance has a mass of 0.125 kg and an initial temperature of 95.0°C. The substance is then dropped into a calorimet

er made of aluminum containing 0.285 kg of water initially at 25.0°C. The mass of the aluminum container is 0.150 kg, and the temperature of the calorimeter increases to a final equilibrium temperature of 32.0°C. Assuming no thermal energy is transferred to the environment, calculate the specific heat of the unknown substance.

Answer:

1,186.813J/KgoC

Explanation:

Since heat is usually transferred from a hotter to a colder body,

Heat lost by unknown substance = heat gained by aluminum calorimeter + heat gained by water

M(un) x C(un) x [ Temp(un) – Temp(equil) ] = M(Al) x C(Al) x [ Temp(equil) – Temp(Al) ] + M(H2O) x C(H2O) x [ Temp(equil) – Temp(H2O) ]

Where M(un) = 0.125kg, C(un) = specific heat capacity of unknown substance = ?, Temp(un) = 95oC, Temp(equil) = 32oC, M(Al) = 0.150kg, C(Al) = specific heat capacity of aluminum = 921.096J/KgoC, Temp(Al) = 25.0oC, M(H2O) = 0.285Kg, C(H2O)= specific heat capacity of liquid water = 4,200J/KgoC

Temp(H2O) = 25.0oC

That is,

0.125 x C(un) x (95-32) = 0.150 x 921.096 x (32-25) + 0.285 x 4200 x (32-25)

C(un) x 0.125 x 63 = 0.150 x 921.096 x 7 + 0.285 x 4200 x 7

C(un) x 7.875 = 967.1508 + 8379

C(un) x 7.875 = 9346.1508

C(un) = 9346.1508/7.875

C(un) = 1,186.813J/KgoC

Answer:

c = 1163.34 J/kg.°C

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity:

"Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance per unit of mass. The specific heat capacity of a material is a physical property."

Use this equation:

mcΔT = ( mw c + mAl cAl )  ΔT'

Rearranging the equation to find the specific heat (c) you get this:

c = (( mw c + mAl cAl )  ΔT') / (mΔT)

c = (( 0.285 (4186) + (0.15)(900)) (32 -25.1)) / ((0.125) (95 - 32))

c = 1163.34 J/kg.°C

A 38.5kg man is in an elevator accelerating downward. A normal force of 343n pushes up on him. what is his acceleration?
alexira [117]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 8.91 m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a =  \frac{343}{38.5}  =  \frac{98}{11}  \\  = 8.909090...

We have the final answer as

<h3>8.91 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

In a charging process, 4 × 1013 electrons are removed from one small metal sphere and placed on a second identical sphere. Initi
Alina [70]

Answer:

The distance between the two spheres is 914.41 X 10³ m

Explanation:

Given;

4 X 10¹³ electrons, and its equivalent in coulomb's is calculated as follows;

1 e = 1.602 X 10⁻¹⁹ C

4 X 10¹³ e = 4 X 10¹³ X 1.602 X 10⁻¹⁹ C = 6.408 X 10⁻⁶ C

V = Ed

where;

V is the electrical potential energy between two spheres, J

E is the electric field potential between the two spheres N/C

d is the distance between two charged bodies, m

V = \frac{K*q}{d^2}*d = \frac{K*q}{d}

d = \frac{K*q}{V}

where;

K is coulomb's constant = 8.99 X 10⁹ Nm²/C²

d = (8.99 X 10⁹ X 6.408 X 10⁻⁶)/0.063

d = 914.41 X 10³ m

Therefore, the distance between the two spheres is 914.41 X 10³ m
