In the experiment to measure specific heat of a metal, you get the following data. What is the specific heat of the metal in J/k

g.C?
(answer within +-3% will considered correct) MASSES: water= 259 g, metal=159 g, calorimeter=97 g INITIAL TEMPERATURES: water+calorimeter=21ºC, metal=98ºC Final equilibrium temp=31ºC Calorimeter is made of aluminum.

Answer:

c = 1,100 J/kgºC

Explanation:

Assuming that all materials involved, finally arrive to a final state of thermal equilibrium, and neglecting any heat exchange through the walls of the calorimeter, the heat gained by the system "water+calorimeter" must be equal to the one lost by the unknown metal.

The equation that states how much heat is needed to change the temperature of a body in contact with another one, is as follows:

Q = c * m* Δt

where m is the mass of the body, Δt is the change in temperature due to the external heat, and c is a proportionality constant, different for each material, called specific heat.

In our case, we can write the following equality:

(cAl * mal * Δtal) + (cH₂₀*mw* Δtw) = (cₓ*mₓ*Δtₓ)

Replacing by the givens , and taking cAl = 0.9 J/gºC, we have:

Qg= 0.9 J/gºC*97g*10ºC + 4.186 J/gºC*259g*10ºC = 11,715 J(1)

Ql = cₓ*159g*67ºC   (2)

Based on all the previous assumptions, we have:

Qg = Ql

So, we can solve for cx, as follows:

cx = 11,715 J / 159g*67ºC = 1.1 J/gºC (3)

Expressing (3) in J/kgºC:

1.1 J/gºC * (1,000g/1 kg) = 1,100 J/kgºC

A ball is thrown straight up at time t=0 with an initial speed of 19m/s. Take the point of release to be y0=0 and upwards to be
Wittaler [7]
First we write the corresponding kinematics equations:
 a = -g
 v = -g * t + vo
 y = -g * ((t ^ 2) / 2) + vo * t + yo
 Substituting the values:
 y = - (9.81) * (((0.50) ^ 2) / 2) + (19) * (0.50) + (0) = 8.27m
 answer:
 the displacement at the time of 0.50s is 8.27m

25% part (c) assume that d is the distance the cheetah is away from the gazelle when it reaches full speed. Derive an expression
levacccp [35]

maximum speed of cheetah is

v_1 = v_{max}

speed of gazelle is given as

v_2 = v_{g}

Now the relative speed of Cheetah with respect to Gazelle

v_{12} = v_1 - v_2

v_{12} = v_{max} - v_g

now the relative distance between Cheetah and Gazelle is given initially as "d"

now the time taken by Cheetah to catch the Gazelle is given as

d = v_{12}* t

so by rearranging the terms we can say

t = \frac{d}{v_{12}}

t = \frac{d}{v_{max} - v_g}

so above is the relation between all given variable

Suppose a free-fall ride at an amusement park starts at rest and is in free fall. What is the velocity of the ride after 2.3 s?
horsena [70]

Answer:

V = a * t = 9.8 m/s^2 * 2.3 s = 22.5 m/s   velocity after 2.3 s

S = 1/2 g t^2      since initial speed is zero

S = 1/2 * 9.8 m/s^2 * 5.29 s^2 = 25.9 m

What is the smallest radius of an unbanked (flat) track around which a bicyclist can travel if her speed is 29.0 km/h and the co
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the radius of track required be r.

Centripetal force will be provided by frictional force which will be equal to

m v²/ r

Frictional force = mg x μ

So

m v² /r = mg μ

r = v² / μ g =

  v = 29 km /h = 8.05 m /s

r =( 8.05 x 8.05 ) /( .32 x 9.8 ) = 20.66 m
