Answer:

the heat absorbed by the block of copper is 74368.476J

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem use the first law of thermodynamics that states that the heat applied to a system is the difference between the initial and final energy considering that the mass and the specific heat do not change so we can infer the following equation

Q=mCp(T2-T1)

Where

Q=heat

m=mass=2.3kg

Cp=0.092 kcal/(kg C)=384.93J/kgK

T2=Final temperatura= 90C

T1= initial temperature=6 C

solving

$Q=(2.3kg)(384.93\frac{J}{kgC} )(90C-6C)=74368.476J$

the heat absorbed by the block of copper is 74368.476J

ki77a [65]

Answer:

0.0133A

Explanation:

Since we have two sections, for the Inductor region there would be a current $i_1$ . In the case of resistance 2, it will cross a current $i_2$

Defined this we proceed to obtain our equations,

For $i_1$ ,

$\frac{di_1}{dt}+i_1R_1 = V$

$I_1 = \frac{V}{R_1} (1-e^{-\frac{R_1t}{L}})$

For $i_2$ ,

$I_2R_2 =V$

$I_2 = \frac{V}{R_2}$

The current in the entire battery is equivalent to,

$i_t = I_1+I_2$

$i_t = \frac{V}{R_2}+\frac{V}{R_1} (1-e^{-\frac{R_1t}{L}})$

Our values are,

$V=1V$

$R_1 = 95\Omega$

$L= 1.5*10^{-2}H$

$R_2 =360\Omega$

Replacing in the current for t= 0.4m/s

$i=\frac{1}{360}+\frac{1}{95}(1-e^{-\frac{95*0.4}{1.5*10^{-2}}})$

$i= 0.0133A$

$i_1 = 0.01052A$

One’s behavior cannot be affected by one’s subconscious

igomit [66]

That statement is false

Our subconscious tend to give a strong influence to our behaviours even if we are not feeling it directly.

For example, let's say that there is a boy that hurt by cats and it's ingrained in his head that cats possess high level of danger to him. Even after that boy grow up, his subsconcious would most likely cause a certain level of paranoia that make him either scared of cats or simply annoyed by seeing them.

Find the equivalent resistance of this

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Re=160ohm

Explanation:

Step#1

Rt=R1+R2 ( because both are in series)

Rt=(100+220 ) ohm

Rt=320 ohm

Step#2

Rt and R3 are parallel so,

Re= (Rt× R3) ÷ (Rt+R3)

Re= (320×320)÷( 320+320)

Re = 102,400÷ 640

Re=160ohm

Monochromatic light falling on two very narrow slits 0.048mm apart. Successive fringes on a screen 5.00m away are 6.5cm apart ne

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

λ = 5.85 x 10⁻⁷ m = 585 nm

f = 5.13 x 10¹⁴ Hz

Explanation:

We will use Young's Double Slit Experiment's Formula here:

$Y = \frac{\lambda L}{d}\\\\\lambda = \frac{Yd}{L}$

where,

λ = wavelength = ?

Y = Fringe Spacing = 6.5 cm = 0.065 m

d = slit separation = 0.048 mm = 4.8 x 10⁻⁵ m

L = screen distance = 5 m

Therefore,

$\lambda = \frac{(0.065\ m)(4.8\ x\ 10^{-5}\ m)}{5\ m}$

<u>λ = 5.85 x 10⁻⁷ m = 585 nm</u>

Now, the frequency can be given as:

$f = \frac{c}{\lambda}$

where,

f = frequency = ?

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore,

$f = \frac{3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s}{5.85\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m}\\\\$

<u>f = 5.13 x 10¹⁴ Hz</u>
