The following three hot samples have the same temperature. The same amount of heat is removed from each sample. Which one experi

ences the smallest drop in temperature, and which one experiences the largest drop?
Sample A: 4.0 kg of water [c = 4186 J/(kg·C°)]

Sample B: 2.0 kg of oil [c = 2700 J/(kg·C°)]

Sample C: 9.0 kg of dirt [c = 1050 J/(kg·C°)]

Answer:

Smallest drop: Water

Largest drop: Dirt

Explanation:

The heat needed to change the temperature of a sample is:

Q=cm\Delta T (1)

with Q the heat (added(+) or removed(-)), c specific heat, m the mass and \Delta T the change in temperature of the sample. So, if we solve (1) for

Sample A:

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{cm} =\frac{Q}{4186*4.0}

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{16744}

Sample B:

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{cm} =\frac{Q}{2700*2.0}

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{5400}

Sample C:

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{cm} =\frac{Q}{1050*9.0}

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{9450}

Note that the numbers 16744, 5400, 9450 are in the denominator of the expression -\frac{Q}{cm} that gives the drop on temperature. so, if Q is the same for the three samples the smallest denominator gives the largest drop and vice versa.

So, the smallest drop is Sample A and the largest is Sample C.

(Important: The minus sign of \Delta T implies the temperature is dropping)

With an increase in temperature, the viscosity of liquids will: . (a) decrease (b) increase . (c) no change
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

(a) decrease

Explanation:

Viscosity is the resistance which occur to flow of the fluid.

More the inter molecular forces between particles of the liquid, more the viscosity of liquid.

<u>Effect of temperature on viscosity:-</u>

Viscosity decreases with the increase in the temperature as forces among the particles decrease on increasing temperature. The kinetic energy of the particles of the liquid increases causing to move in more random motions and thus weaker inter molecular forces and this offer less resistance to the flow.

<u>Hence, viscosity of the liquids decrease with the increasing temperature.</u>

An airplane travels from st louis to portland, oregon in 4.33 hours. if the distance traveled is 2,742 kilometers, what is the a
Makovka662 [10]

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (total time to cover the distance)

                       =  (2,742 km)  /  (4.33 hours)

                       =  (2,742 / 4.33)    km/hr

                       =      633 km/hr        (rounded)

A convex mirror, like the passenger-side rearview mirror on a car, has a focal length of -3.0 m . An object is 6.0 m from the mi
Artist 52 [7]

A) -2.0 m

Look at the ray diagram attached in the picture, where:

p identifies the location of the object

q identifies the location of the image

F identifies the focus of the mirror

Each tick represents 1 m

We have

p = 6.0 m is the distance of the object from the mirror

f = -3.0 m is the focal length

From the ray diagram, we see that q has a distance of 2.0 m from the mirror, and it's on the other side of the mirror compared to the object, so

q = -2.0 m

This can also be verified by using the mirror equation:

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{-3.0 m}-\frac{1}{6.0 m}=-\frac{3}{6.0 cm}\\q = \frac{-6.0 cm}{3}=-2.0 cm

B) Upright and virtual

As we see from the picture, the image is upright, since it has same orientation as the object.

Also, we notice that the image is on the other side of the mirror, compared to the object. For a mirror,

- An image is said to be real if it is on the same side of the object

- An image is said to be virtual if it is on the opposite side of the mirror

Therefore, this means that the image is virtual.
