Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity is 20 m/sec^2

So option (E) will be correct answer

Explanation:

We have given length of the pendulum l = 2 m

Time period of the pendulum T = 2 sec

We have to find acceleration due to gravity g

We know that time period of pendulum is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

2=2\times 3.14 \sqrt{\frac{2}{g}}

0.3184= \sqrt{\frac{2}{g}}

Squaring both side

0.1014= {\frac{2}{g}}

g=19.71=20m/sec^2

So acceleration due to gravity is 20 m/sec^2

So option (E) will be correct answer.

How much heat transfer (in kcal) is required to raise the temperature of a 0.850 kg aluminum pot containing 2.00 kg of water fro
hram777 [196]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept related to the heat transferred to a body to reach a certain temperature. This concept is shaped by the energy ratio of a body which is the product of the mass, its specific heat and the change in temperature. For the specific case, it will be the sum of the heat transferred to the Water, the Aluminum and the loss due to latency due to vaporization in the water. That is to say,

\Delta Q = m_{Al} C_p \Delta T +m_wC_w \Delta T  +m_w L_v

Here,

m_{Al}= Mass of Aluminum

C_p= Specific Heat of Aluminum

C_w= Specific Heat of Water

m_w = Mass of water

L_v =Latent of Vaporization

Replacing,

\Delta Q = (0.85)(900)(100-45)+(2)(2000)(100-45)+(0.7)(2258000)

Converting,

\Delta Q = 1842675J (\frac{0.000239006kCal}{1J})

\Delta Q = 440.409kCal

Therefore is required 440.409kCal

Ann [662]

Answer:

The charges under study are of the same sign

The calculation of the electric field for each charge separately, there is no relationship between the charges

Explanation:

Let's start by writing the equation for the electric field

          E = k q / r²

where q is the charge under analysis and r the distance from this charge to a positive test charge.

When analyzing the statement the student has some problems.

* The charges under study are of the same sign, it does not matter if positive or negative.

* The calculation of the electric field for each charge separately, there is no relationship between the charges for the calculation of the electric field.

* What is added is the interaction of the electric field with the positive test charge, in this case each field has the opposite direction to the other, so the vector sum gives zero
