A 23.9 g sample of iridium is heated to 89.7 oC, and then dropped into 20.0 g of water in a coffee-cup calorimeter. The temperat

ure of the water went from 20.1 oC to 22.6 oC. Calculate the specific heat of iridium. (specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g oC).

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of iridium = 0.130 J/g°C

Explanation:

Assuming no heat losses to the environment and to the calorimeter,

Heat lost by the iridium sample = Heat gained by water

Heat lost by the iridium sample = mC ΔT

m = mass of iridium = 23.9 g

C = specific heat capacity of the iridium = ?

ΔT = change in temperature of the iridium = 89.7 - 22.6 = 67.1°C

Heat lost by the iridium sample = (23.9)(C)(67.1) = (1603.69 C) J

Heat gained by water = mC ΔT

m = mass of water = 20.0 g

C = 4.18 J/g°C

ΔT = 22.6 - 20.1 = 2.5°C

Heat gained by water = 20 × 4.18 × 2.5 = 209 J

Heat lost by the iridium sample = Heat gained by water

1603.69C = 209

C = (209/1603.69) = 0.130 J/g°C

<h2>Answer:</h2>

0.13J/g°C

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The mixture of the Iridium in water is in a thermo-equilibrium since no heat is lost to the environment. i.e The heat lost (-H_{I}) by Iridium is equal to the heat gained (H_{W}) by water. This can be represented as follows;

- H_{I} = H_{W}                          --------------------------(i)

The negative sign shows that heat is lost to the environment...

<em>But;</em>

H_{I} = m_{I} C_{I} ΔT_{I}                --------------------------(ii)

Where;

m_{I} = mass of Iridium

C_{I} = specific heat capacity of Iridium

ΔT_{I} = change in temperature of Iridium = T_{I2} - T_{I1}

T_{I2} = final temperature of Iridium

T_{I1} = initial temperature of Iridium

<em>Also;</em>

H_{W} = m_{W} C_{W} ΔT_{W}            ------------------------(iii)

Where;

m_{W} = mass of water

C_{W} = specific heat capacity of water

ΔT_{W} = change in temperature of water = T_{W2} - T_{W1}

T_{W2} = final temperature of water

T_{W1} = initial temperature of water

<em>From the question;</em>

m_{I} = 23.9g

C_{I} = ?

T_{I2} = 22.6°C      [the same as the final temperature of water]

T_{I1} = 89.7°C

ΔT_{I} = 22.6°C - 89.7°C = -67.1°C

m_{W} = 20.0g

C_{W} = 4.18 J/g °C

T_{W2} = 22.6°C    

T_{W1} = 20.1°C

ΔT_{W} = 22.6°C - 20.1°C = 2.5°C

<em>Substitute the values of </em>H_{W}<em> and </em>H_{W}<em> into equation (i)</em>

- m_{I} C_{I} ΔT_{I} = m_{W} C_{W} ΔT_{W}   -------------------------------(iv)

<em>Now substitute the values of all the variables in equation(iv) into the same;</em>

- 23.9 x C_{I} x - 67.1 = 20.0 x 4.18 x 2.5

1603.69C_{I} = 209

<em>Then, solve for </em>C_{I}<em>;</em>

C_{I} = \frac{209}{1603.69}

C_{I} = 0.13

Therefore, the specific heat of Iridium is 0.13J/g°C

A 1.1-kg object is suspended from a vertical spring whose spring constant is 120 N/m. (a) Find the amount by which the spring is
andriy [413]

Answer:

e = 0.0898m

v = 2.07m/s

Explanation:

a) According to Hooke's law

F = ke

e is the extension

k is the spring constant

Since F = mg

mg = ke

e = mg/k

Substitute the given value

e = 1.1(9.8)/120

e = 10.78/120

e = 0.0898m

Hence it is stretched by 0.0898m from its unstrained length

2) Total Energy = PE+KE+Elastic potential

Total Energy = mgh +1/2mv²+1/2ke²

Substitute the given value

5.0= 1.1(9.8)(0.2)+1/2(1.1)v²+1/2(120)(0.0898)²

Solve for v

5.0 = 2.156+0.55v²+0.48338

5.0-2.156-0.48338= 0.55v²

2.36 =0.55v²

v² = 2.36/0.55

v² = 4.29

v ,= √4.29

v = 2.07m/s

Hence the required velocity is 9.28m/s

Three beads are placed on the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side d = 3.4cm. The first bead of mass m1=140gis placed on
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Xcm = 1.95 cm  and Ycm = 1.76 cm

Explanation:

The very useful concept of mass center is

     R cm = 1/M  ∑ m_{i}  r_{i}

Where ri, mi are the mass positions of the bodies from some reference point by selecting and M is the total mass of the body.

Let's look for the total mass

     M = m₁ + m₂ + m₃

     M = 140 + 45 + 85

     M = 270 g

Let's look for the position of each point

Point 1. top vertex, if the triangle has as side d

      R₁ = d / 2 i ^ + d j ^

      R₁ = (1.7 cm i ^ + 3.4 j ^) cm

Point 2. left vertex. What is the origin of the system?

      R₂ = 0

Point 3. Right vertex

      R₃ = d i ^

      R₃ = 3.4 i ^ cm

a) The x component of the massage center

      Xcm = 1 / M (m₁ x₁ + m₂ x₂ + m₃ x₃)

      Xcm = 1 / M (m₁ d / 2 + 0 + m₃ d)

      Xcm = d / M (m₁ / 2 + m₃)

b)   Let's write the mass center component x

      Xcm = 1/270 (1.7 140 + 0 + 3.4 85)

      Xcm = 238/270

      Xcm = 1.95 cm

c) let's find the component and center of mass

     Ycm = 1 / M (m₁ y₁ + m₂ y₂ + m₃ y₃)

    Ycm = 1 / M (m₁ d + 0 + 0)

    Ycm = m₁ / M d

d) let's calculate

    Y cm = 1/270 (140 3.4 + 0 + 0)

    Ycm = 1.76 cm

A cord of mass 0.65 kg is stretched between two supports 28 m apart. if the tension in the cord is 150 n, 2 how long will it tak
MaRussiya [10]
Ans: Time <span>taken by a pulse to travel from one support to the other = 0.348s
</span>
Explanation:
First you need to find out the speed of the wave.

Since
Speed = v = \sqrt{ \frac{T}{\mu} }

Where
T = Tension in the cord = 150N
μ = Mass per unit length = mass/Length = 0.65/28 = 0.0232 kg/m

So
v = \sqrt{ \frac{150}{0.0232} } = 80.41 m/s

Now the time-taken by the wave = t = Length/speed = 28/80.41=0.348s

Which type of wave has a longer wavelength: AM radio waves (with frequencies in the kilohertz range) or FM radio waves (with fre
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

AM has longer wavelength

Explanation:

The relation between the wavelength and teh frequency is given by

v = f x λ

Where, f is the frequency and λ be the wavelength.

It shows that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency.

So, higher the frequency, smaller be the wavelength.

So, FM has high frequency than AM, thus, FM has lower wavelength as compared to AM.
