A large room in a house holds 947 kg of dry air at 33.2°C. A woman opens a window briefly and a cool breeze brings in an additio

nal 62.4 kg of dry air at 13.2°C. At what temperature (in degrees Celsius) will the two air masses come into thermal equilibrium, assuming they form a closed system? (The specific heat of dry air is 1006 J/ kg * °C, although that value will cancel out of the calorimetry equation.)

Answer:

31.96362 °C

Explanation:

$m_1$ = Mass of air in the room = 947 kg

$m_2$ = Mass of air entering the room = 62.4 kg

$T_1$ = Temperature in the room = 33.2°C

$T_2$ = Temperature air entering the room = 13.2°C

T = Equilibrium temperature

c = Specific heat of air = 1006 J/kg °C

In the case of thermal equilibrium we have the relation

$m_1c(T_1-T)=m_2c(T-T_2)\\\Rightarrow T=\frac{m_2T_2+m_1T_1}{m_1+m_2}\\\Rightarrow T=\frac{62.4(13.2+273.15)+947(33.2+273.15)}{947+62.4}\\\Rightarrow T=305.11362\ K=305.11362-273.15=31.96362^{\circ}C$

The temperature of thermal equilibrium is 31.96362 °C

Starting from rest, a disk rotates about its central axis with constant angular acceleration. In 1.00 s, it rotates 21.0 rad. Du

ELEN [110]

With constant angular acceleration $\alpha$ , the disk achieves an angular velocity $\omega$ at time $t$ according to

$\omega=\alpha t$

and angular displacement $\theta$ according to

$\theta=\dfrac12\alpha t^2$

a. So after 1.00 s, having rotated 21.0 rad, it must have undergone an acceleration of

$21.0\,\mathrm{rad}=\dfrac12\alpha(1.00\,\mathrm s)^2\implies\alpha=42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}$

b. Under constant acceleration, the average angular velocity is equivalent to

$\omega_{\rm avg}=\dfrac{\omega_f+\omega_i}2$

where $\omega_f$ and $\omega_i$ are the final and initial angular velocities, respectively. Then

$\omega_{\rm avg}=\dfrac{\left(42.0\frac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)}2=42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}$

c. After 1.00 s, the disk has instantaneous angular velocity

$\omega=\left(42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)=42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}$

d. During the next 1.00 s, the disk will start moving with the angular velocity $\omega_0$ equal to the one found in part (c). Ignoring the 21.0 rad it had rotated in the first 1.00 s interval, the disk will rotate by angle $\theta$ according to

$\theta=\omega_0t+\dfrac12\alpha t^2$

which would be equal to

$\theta=\left(42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12\left(42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)^2=63.0\,\mathrm{rad}$

Suppose you are measuring double‑slit interference patterns using an optics kit that contains the following options that you can

svetlana [45]

Answer:

3.6 m

Explanation:

$\lambda_R = 650 \ nm\\\\\lambda_R = 650*10^{-9} m\\\\L \ should \ be \ minimum \\\\i.e \ 0.25 \ mm\\\\= 0.25 *10^{-3} m$

$\lambda_R = 700 \ nm\\\\\lambda_R = 700*10^{-9} m\\\\$

Also

$\beta = 1 \ mm \ fringe \ width$

$D_{min} = \frac{\beta d}{\lambda}\\\\D_{min} = \frac{10^{-3}*0.25*10^{-3}}{700*10^{-9}}\\\\D_{min} = 3.57 \\D_{min} = 3.6 m$

Therefore, the minimum distance L you can place a screen from the double slit that will give you an interference pattern on the screen that you can accurately measure using an ordinary 30 cm (12 in) ruler. = 3.6 m

When popcorn is heated over a flame, the kernel burst open. why does this occur?

Bezzdna [24]

<span>If you faced the situation when popcorn is heated over a flame and the kernel burst opened the thing which caused that is definitely : the air and water vapor which remain in the kernell have expanded.
Hope that helps.

During the first 6 years of its operation, the Hubble Space Telescope circled the Earth 37,000 times, for a total of 1,280,000,0

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

v = 384km/min

Explanation:

In order to calculate the speed of the Hubble space telescope, you first calculate the distance that Hubble travels for one orbit.

You know that 37000 times the orbit of Hubble are 1,280,000,000 km. Then, for one orbit you have:

$d=\frac{1,280,000,000km}{37,000}=34,594.59km$

You know that one orbit is completed by Hubble on 90 min. You use the following formula to calculate the speed:

$v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{34,594.59km}{90min}=384.38\frac{km}{min}\approx384\frac{km}{min}$

hence, the speed of the Hubble is approximately 384km/min

If a vehicle accelerating at 2.7 m/s2what is it's velocity at 20 meters 12.63m/s,1.03m/s,10.39m/s,6.39m/s

netineya [11]

Answer:

The final velocity of the vehicle is 10.39 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

acceleration of the vehicle, a = 2.7 m/s²

distance moved by the vehicle, d = 20 m

The final velocity of the vehicle is calculated using the following kinematic equation;

v² = u² + 2ah

v² = 0 + 2 x 2.7 x 20

v² = 108

v = √108

v = 10.39 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the vehicle is 10.39 m/s.
