Answer:

266 g or 0.266 kg

Explanation:

The formula for specific heat capacity is given as,

Q = cm(t₂-t₁) ..................... Equation 1

Where Q = Heat Energy, c = specific heat capacity of Aluminum, m = mass of the aluminum fins, t₁ = initial temperature, t₂ = final temperature.

make m the subject of the equation,

m = Q/c(t₂-t₁)................... Equation 2

Given : Q = 2571 J, c = 0.897 J/g.°C, t₁ = 15.73 °C, t₂ = 26.50 °C.

Substitute into equation 2

m = 2571/[0.897×(26.5-15.73)]

m = 2571/9.661

m = 266 g or 0.266 kg

Hence the mass of the Aluminum fins = 266 g or 0.266 kg

How do speed and acceleration differ
Savatey [412]

Speed is how fast you cover a distance.

           (distance covered) divided by (time to cover the distance).

Acceleration is any change in your motion ... speeding up,
slowing down, or changing the direction you're headed.

A train is moving toward the station at a speed of 25 m/s. Its horn emits a sound of frequency 600 Hz. (a) Calculate the frequen
MissTica

(a) 646.9 Hz

The formula for the Doppler effect is:

f'=\frac{v+v_o}{v-v_s}f

where

f = 600 Hz is the real frequency of the sound

f' is the apparent frequency

v = 345 m/s is the speed of sound

v_o = 0 is the velocity of the observer (zero since it is stationary at the station)

v_s = +25 m/s is the velocity of the source (the train), moving toward the observer

Substituting into the formula,

f'=\frac{345 m/s+0}{345 m/s-25 m/s}(600 Hz)=646.9 Hz

(b) 20.1 m/s

In this case, we have

f = 600 Hz is the real frequency

f' = 567 Hz is the apparent frequency

Assuming the observer is still at rest,

v_o = 0

so we can re-arrange the Doppler formula to find v_s, the new velocity of the train:

f'=\frac{v}{v-v_s}f\\\frac{f}{f'}=\frac{v-v_s}{v}\\\frac{f}{f'}v=v-v_s\\v_s = (1-\frac{f}{f'})v=(1-\frac{600 Hz}{567 Hz})(345 m/s)=-20.1 m/s

and the negative sign means the train is moving away from the observer at the station.

What is the force acting on a 10kg object that accelerates from 5 m/s to 20 m/s in 5s?
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

v= u + at

20 = 5 + a(5)

15= a(5)

a= 3 m/s²

Force = mass × acceleration

= 10 × 3

= 30 N

How do you get a tachyionic particle and how are they faster than light
melomori [17]
<span>Tachyons are studied in an area called particle physics, and I must say this is a bit out of my league, but I'll give you some general thoughts. Tachyons are hypothetical particles resulting from what physicists call a thought experiment. Back in the 1960s, some physicists wondered what would happen if matter could travel faster than the speed of light, something that is supposed to be impossible according to the Theory of Relativity. So these particles may or may not exist because they have not been proven or disproven by real experiment as of yet. What people have done is apply existing formulas to the unique properties of tachyons (like imaginary mass!). What comes out is a particles that go faster when they lose energy with a MINIMUM velocity of the speed of light and a maximum velocity of infinity! Hope that helps Ben, theoretical physics is a weird place and is not too far off from philosophy.</span>
