Answer:

B. The English system is preferred for use in the scientific and technical communities due to its ease of us of the SI system

Explanation:

This is true due to the the fact that in the English system, all you have to do to change from one measurement to the other is just move the decimal place. For example: I have 10 kg of apples and wish to convert it into grams, kilo means 1000 and grams are the base, meaning one, so we will move the decimal place to the right three places (to add the three zeros for 1,000) and the answer will 10,000. Hope you read through this and somewhat get what I mean.

An aluminum cup contains 225 g of water and a 40-g copper stirrer, all at 27Â°C. A 470-g sample of silver at an initial temperat

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Mal = 0.232 kg = 232 g

Explanation:

mass of water (Mw) = 225 g = 0.225 kg

mass of copper stirrer (Mcu) = 40 g = 0.04 kg

initial temperature of water (Tw) = 27 degrees

mass of silver (Mag) = 470 g = 0.47 kg

initial temperature of silver (Ts) = 85 degrees

final temperature of the mixture (T) = 32 degrees

find the mass of the aluminum cup (Mal)

applying the conservation of energy

((Mal.cAl) + (Mw.cW) + (Mcu.cCu))(ΔTw) = (Mag.cAg)(ΔTag)

we require the specific heat capacities of water (cW) , aluminium (cAl) , copper (cCu) and silver (cAg) which are as follows

water (cW) =4186 J/kg.K

aluminium (cAl) = 900 J/kg.K

copper (cCu) = 387 J/kg.K

silver (cAg) = 234 J/kg.K

now we can put in our values to get the mass of the Aluminium cup (Mag)

((Mal.900) + (0.225 x 4186) + (0.04 x 387))(32-27) = (0.47 x 234)(85-32)

(900 . Mal + 957.33) x 5 = 5828.94

900 .Mal + 957.33 = 1165.79

900.Mal = 1165.79 - 957.33 = 208.5

Mal = 0.232 kg = 232 g

Electric fields are vector quantities whose magnitudes are measured in units of volts/meter (V/m). Find the resultant electric f

musickatia [10]

Answer:

Er = 231.76 V/m, 27.23° to the left of E1

Explanation:

To find the resultant electric field, you can use the component method. Where you add the respective x-component and y-component of each vector:

E1:

$E_1_x = 0V/m\\E_1_y=100V/m$

E2:

Keep in mind that the x component of electric field E2 is directed to the left.

$E_2_x= 150V/m*-sin(45) = 106.07 V/m\\E_2_y=150V/m*cos(45) = 106.07V/m$

∑x: $E_1_x+E_2_x = 0V/m - 106.07V/m = -106.07V/m$

∑y: $E_1_y + E_2_y = 100V/m + 106.07V/m = 206.07V/m$

The magnitud of the resulting electric field can be found using pythagorean theorem. For the direction, we will use trigonometry.

$||E_r||= \sqrt{(-106.07V/m)^2+(206.07V/m)^2} = 231.76 V/m\\\\\alpha = arctan(\frac{206.7 V/m}{-106.07 V/m}) = 117.24degrees$

or 27.23° to the left of E1.
