Answer:

2274 J/kg ∙ K

Explanation:

The complete statement of the question is :

A lab assistant drops a 400.0-g piece of metal at 100.0°C into a 100.0-g aluminum cup containing 500.0 g of water at 15 °C. In a few minutes, she measures the final temperature of the system to be 40.0°C. What is the specific heat of the 400.0-g piece of metal, assuming that no significant heat is exchanged with the surroundings? The specific heat of this aluminum is 900.0 J/kg ∙ K and that of water is 4186 J/kg ∙ K.

$m_{m}$ = mass of metal = 400 g

$c_{m}$ = specific heat of metal = ?

$T_{mi}$ = initial temperature of metal = 100 °C

$m_{a}$ = mass of aluminum cup = 100 g

$c_{a}$ = specific heat of aluminum cup = 900.0 J/kg ∙ K

$T_{ai}$ = initial temperature of aluminum cup = 15 °C

$m_{w}$ = mass of water = 500 g

$c_{w}$ = specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg ∙ K

$T_{wi}$ = initial temperature of water = 15 °C

$T$ = Final equilibrium temperature = 40 °C

Using conservation of energy

heat lost by metal = heat gained by aluminum cup + heat gained by water

$m_{m} c_{m} (T_{mi} - T) = m_{a} c_{a} (T - T_{ai}) + m_{w} c_{w} (T - T_{wi} ) \\(400) (100 - 40) c_{m} = (100) (900) (40- 15) + (500) (4186) (40 - 15)\\ c_{m} = 2274 Jkg^{-1}K^{-1}$

Two objects, C & D, have the same momentum. Object C has ½ the mass of object D. Find the value of the ratio of velocity C t

Savatey [412]

These are two questions and two answers.

Part 1. Fin the value of the ration of velocity C to velocity D.

Answer: 2

Explanation:

1) Formula: momentum = mass * velocity

2) momentum C = mass C * velocity C

3) momentum D = mass D * velocity D.

4) C and D have the same momentum =>

mass C * velocity C = mass D * velocity D

5) mass C = (1/2) mass D => mass C / mass C = 1/2

6) use in the equation stated in the point 4)

velocit C / velocity D = mass D / mass C

using the equation stated in point 5:

mass D / mass C = 1 / [ mass C / mass D] = 1 / [1/2] = 2

=>

7) velocity C / velocity D = mass D / mass C = 2

Part 2: <span>ratio of kinetic energy C to kinetic energy D.
</span>
Answer: 2

Explanation:

1) formula: kinetic energy KE = (1/2) mass * (velocity)^2

2) KE C = (1/2) mass C * (velocity C)^2

3) KE D = (1/2) mass D * (velocity D)^2

4) KE C / KE D =

(1/2) mass C * (velocity C)^2 mass C (velocity C)^2
--------------------------------------- = --------------- * ---------------------- = (1/2) * (2)^2
(1/2) mass D *( velocity D)^2 mass D v(velocity D)^2

= 4 / 2 = 2
