During a race, four competitors of the same weight rode identical bicycles for 10 minutes. At 8 minutes, which bicycle was movin

g with the greatest velocity?
Physics
1 answer:
Sophie [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

All the competitors will move with the same velocity.

Explanation:

Here, the situations for each competitor are identical. Thus, they will exert the same force and hence, their velocities at each instants will be identical.

A well lagged copper calorimeter of mas 120g contains 70g of water and 10g ice both at 0°C . Dry steam at 100°C is passed in unt
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

7.6 g

Explanation:

"Well lagged" means insulated, so there's no heat transfer between the calorimeter and the surroundings.

The heat gained by the copper, water, and ice = the heat lost by the steam

Heat gained by the copper:

q = mCΔT

q = (120 g) (0.40 J/g/K) (40°C − 0°C)

q = 1920 J

Heat gained by the water:

q = mCΔT

q = (70 g) (4.2 J/g/K) (40°C − 0°C)

q = 11760 J

Heat gained by the ice:

q = mL + mCΔT

q = (10 g) (320 J/g) + (10 g) (4.2 J/g/K) (40°C − 0°C)

q = 4880 J

Heat lost by the steam:

q = mL + mCΔT

q = m (2200 J/g) + m (4.2 J/g/K) (100°C − 40°C)

q = 2452 J/g m

Plugging the values into the equation:

1920 J + 11760 J + 4880 J = 2452 J/g m

18560 J = 2452 J/g m

m = 7.6 g

A resistor with an unknown resistance is connected in parallel to a 13 Ω resistor. When both resistors are connected in parallel
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

R2 = 10.31Ω

Explanation:

For two resistors in parallel you have that the equivalent resistance is:

\frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}\\\\      (1)

R1 =  13 Ω

R2 = ?

The equivalent resistance of the circuit can also be calculated by using the Ohm's law:

I=\frac{V}{R_{eq}}\\\\R_{eq}=\frac{V}{I}            (2)

V: emf source voltage = 23 V

I: current = 4 A

You calculate the Req by using the equation (2):

R_{eq}=\frac{23V}{4A}=5.75\Omega

Now, you can calculate the unknown resistor R2 by using the equation (1):

\frac{1}{R_2}=\frac{1}{R_{eq}}-\frac{1}{R_1}\\\\R_2=\frac{R_{eq}R_1}{R_1-R_{eq}}\\\\R_2=\frac{(5.75\Omega)(13\Omega)}{13\Omega-5.75\Omega}=10.31\Omega

hence, the resistance of the unknown resistor is 10.31Ω

La altura de un tornillo de banco respecto a la superficie es de 80 cm expresar dicha medida en pies..
Andrej [43]

Answer:

this measurement if feet is: 2.624672 ft

Explanation:

Notice that 80 cm can be expressed as 0.8 meters, and In order to convert from meters to feet, one needs to multiply the meter measurement times 3.28084. Therefore:

0.80 m can be written in feet as: 0.80 * 3.28084 feet = 2.624672 feet

When water in a lake freezes, the ice that forms floats on top of any water that is still liquid. Why does the ice float?
ddd [48]

Answer:

it floats because the lake is cold at that moment so when part of the lake freezes it still remains solid and floats because of the lake and the surrounding of the lake is still cold
