Calculate the specific heat of a metal from the following data. A container made of the metal has a mass of 3.8 kg and contains
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

C = 771.35 J/kg°C

Explanation:

Here, e consider the conservation of energy equation. The conservation of energy principle states that:

Heat Given by Metal Piece = Heat Absorbed by Water + Heat Absorbed by Container

Since,

Heat Given or Absorbed by a material = m C ΔT

Therefore,

m₁CΔT₁ = m₂CΔT₂ + m₃C₃ΔT₃

where,

m₁ = Mass of Metal Piece = 2.3 kg

C = Specific Heat of Metal = ?

ΔT₁ = Change in temperature of metal piece = 165°C - 18°C = 147°C

m₂ = Mass of Metal Container = 3.8 kg

ΔT₂ = Change in temperature of metal piece = 18°C - 15°C = 3°C

m₃ = Mass of Water = 20 kg

C₃ = Specific Heat of Water = 4200 J/kg°C

ΔT₃ = Change in temperature of water = 18°C - 15°C = 3°C

Therefore,

(2.3 kg)(C)(147°C) = (3.8 kg)(C)(3°C) + (20 kg)(4186 J/kg°C)(3°C)

C[(2.3 kg)(147°C) - (3.8 kg)(3°C)] = 252000 J

C = 252000 J/326.7 kg°C

<u>C = 771.35 J/kg°C</u>

Why is it safe to watch an eclipse of the Moon but not an eclipse of the Sun
gavmur [86]
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon crosses in front of the Sun, blocking some or all of its rays. A lunar eclipse happens when the moon is directly behind the earth, blocking the moon from receiving light. The only light comes from the light on earth's reflected shadow.

You can look at a lunar eclipse because there is very little light or none at all. You can't look at a solar eclipse because you are looking directly at the sun unless it is complete. Before totality, only some of the Sun is blocked, causing your pupils dilate to let in more light. Since they do this, more of the Sun's rays can be let in to the eye, which effectively allows your eyes to burn. 

Some doctors and eye care specialists say that after someone complains of blindness after looking at a solar eclipse unaided, they can see what the Sun and moon looked like at the time that they looked at it, as it is burned onto their retinas.

A long solenoid, of radius a, is driven by an alternating current, so that the field inside is sinusoidal: B(t) = B0 cos(ωt) ˆz.
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

B(t) = B0 cos(ωt) • k

Radius r = a

Inner radius r' = a/2 and resistance R.

Current in the loop as a function of time I(t) =?

Magnetic flux is given as

Φ = BA

And the Area is given as

A = πr², where r = a/2

A = πa²/4

Then,

Φ = ¼ Bπa²

Φ(t) = ¼πa²Bo•Cos(ωt)

Then, the EMF is given as

ε(t) = -dΦ/dt

ε(t) = -¼πa²Bo • -ωSin(ωt)

ε(t) = ¼ωπa²Bo•Sin(ωt)

From ohms law,

ε = iR

Then, i = ε/R

I(t) = ¼ωπa²Bo•Sin(ωt) /R

This is the current induced in the loop.

A tray is moved horizontally back and forth in simple harmonic motion at a frequency of f = 2.07 Hz. On this tray is an empty cu
Anettt [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Frequency of SHM is f=2.07\ Hz

Amplitude of SHM is A=3.13\ cm

Cup begins to slip when it overcomes the friction force

Friction force F_s=\mu mg

Applied force F=ma

ma=\mu mg

a=\mu g

and maximum acceleration during SHM is

a=A\omega ^2

a=A(2\pi f)^2

a=3.13\times 10^{-2}\times (2\pi 2.07)^2

a=5.296\ m/s^2

\mu =\frac{a}{g}

\mu =\frac{5.296}{9.8}=0.54
