Answer:

$a=0.6\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

The attached figure shows the whole description. Considering the applied force is 100 N.

The acceleration of both blocks A and B, $a=0.8\ m/s^2$

Firstly calculating the mass m using the second law of motion as :

F = ma

m is the mass

$m=\dfrac{F}{a}$

$m=\dfrac{100\ N}{0.8\ m/s^2}$

m = 125 kg

It suddenly encounters a surface that supplies 25.0 N a friction, F' = 25 N

$(F-F')=ma$

$(100-25)=125\times a$

$a=\dfrac{75}{125}=0.6\ m/s^2$

So, the new acceleration of the block is $0.6\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

John heats 1 kg of soup from 25 °C to 70 °C for 15 minutes by a heater. How long does the same heater take to heat 1.5 kg of the

Mumz [18]

Answer:

30 minutes

Explanation:

Energy per time is constant, so:

E₁ / t₁ = E₂ / t₂

m₁C₁ΔT₁ / t₁ = m₂C₂ΔT₂ / t₂

(1 kg) C (70°C − 25°C) / 15 min = (1.5 kg) C (80°C − 20°C) / t

(1 kg) (45°C) / 15 min = (1.5 kg) (60°C) / t

3/min = 90 / t

t = 30 min

A mass m at the end of a spring vibrates with a frequency

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

m = 0.59 kg.

Explanation:

First, we need to find the relation between the frequency and mass on a spring.

The Hooke's law states that

$F = -kx$

And Newton's Second Law also states that

$F = ma = m\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}$

Combining two equations yields

$a = -\frac{k}{m}x$

The term that determines the proportionality between acceleration and position is defined as angular frequency, ω.

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

And given that ω = 2πf

the relation between frequency and mass becomes

$f = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$ .

Let's apply this to the variables in the question.

$0.88 = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\\0.60 = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m+0.68}}\\\frac{0.88}{0.60} = \frac{\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}}{\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m+0.68}}}\\1.4667 = \frac{\sqrt{m+0.68}}{\sqrt{m}}\\2.15m = m + 0.68\\1.15m = 0.68\\m = 0.59~kg$

Solution A has a speciﬁc heat of 2.0 J/g◦C. Solution B has a speciﬁc heat of 3.8 J/g◦C. If equal masses of both solutions start

fgiga [73]

Answer: 2. Solution A attains a higher temperature.

Explanation: Specific heat simply means, that amount of heat which is when supplied to a unit mass of a substance will raise its temperature by 1°C.

In the given situation we have equal masses of two solutions A & B, out of which A has lower specific heat which means that a unit mass of solution A requires lesser energy to raise its temperature by 1°C than the solution B.

Since, the masses of both the solutions are same and equal heat is supplied to both, the proportional condition will follow.

<em>We have a formula for such condition,</em>

$Q=m.c.\Delta T$ .....................................(1)

where:

$\Delta T$ = temperature difference

Q= heat energy

m= mass of the body

c= specific heat of the body

<u>Proving mathematically:</u>

<em>According to the given conditions</em>

we have equal masses of two solutions A & B, i.e. $m_A=m_B$

equal heat is supplied to both the solutions, i.e. $Q_A=Q_B$

specific heat of solution A, $c_{A}=2.0 J.g^{-1} .\degree C^{-1}$

specific heat of solution B, $c_{B}=3.8 J.g^{-1} .\degree C^{-1}$

$\Delta T_A$ & $\Delta T_B$ are the change in temperatures of the respective solutions.

Now, putting the above values

$Q_A=Q_B$

$m_A.c_A. \Delta T_A=m_B.c_B . \Delta T_B\\\\2.0\times \Delta T_A=3.8 \times \Delta T_B\\\\ \Delta T_A=\frac{3.8}{2.0}\times \Delta T_B\\\\\\\frac{\Delta T_{A}}{\Delta T_{B}} = \frac{3.8}{2.0}>1$

Which proves that solution A attains a higher temperature than solution B.
