A student drops two metallic objects into a 120-g steel container holding 150 g of water at 25°C. One object is a 206-g cube of

copper that is initially at 88°C, and the other is a chunk of aluminum that is initially at 5.0°C. To the surprise of the student, the water reaches a final temperature of 25°C, precisely where it started. What is the mass of the aluminum chunk?

Answer:

Mass of the aluminium chunk = 278.51 g

Explanation:

For an isolated system as given the energy lost and gains in the system will be zero therefore sum of all transfer of energy will be zero,as the temperature will also remain same

A specific heat formula is given as                  

Energy Change = Mass of liquid x Specific Heat Capacity x Change in temperature

                                       Q =  m×c×ΔT

                        Heat gain by aluminium + heat lost by copper  = 0    (1)

For Aluminium:

      Q = m\times0.897\frac{J}{g.k}\times(25-5)

      Q = m x 17.94 joule

For Copper:

Q= 206g\times0.385\frac{J}{g.k} \times(88-25)

       Q= 4996.53 Joule

from eq 1

     m x 17.94 = 4996.53

     mass of aluminium = \frac{4996.53}{17.94} g

    Mass of the aluminium chunk = 278.51 g

1)the magnetic field is strongest near_________of a bar magnet.
horrorfan [7]
1. Is A. at the poles because thats where the magnetic field is going out then coming back into the earth to produce the magnetic field.
2. Again its A. because the compass needle is attracted to " north " which is magnetic south. It does this because opposites attract.
3. This one would be B. Because if the magnets were being repelled the magnetic field lines would look like there was a line that the field hit and bounced off of it.
4. This answer is A. the magnetite helps them migrate so they know which way is north and which way is south.
5. This answer is A. Because without the domains there wouldn't be poles on the magnetic object. <span />

A truck with 0.410 m radius tires travels at 25.0 m/s. What is the angular velocity of the rotating tires in radians per second?
Eduardwww [97]

relation between linear velocity and angular velocity is given as

v = R\omega

here

v = linear speed

R = radius

\omega = angular speed

now plug in all data in the equation

25.0 = 0.410 \omega

\omega  = \frac{25}{0.410}

\omega = 60.9 rad/s

so rotating speed is 60.9 rad/s
