A 360-g metal container, insulated on the outside, holds 180.0 g of water in thermal equilibrium at 22.0°C. A 24.0-g ice cube, a

t the melting point, is dropped into the water, and when thermal equilibrium is reached the temperature is 15.0°C. Assume there is no heat exchange with the surroundings. For water, the specific heat capacity is 4190 J/kg ∙ K and the heat of fusion is 3.34 × 105 J/kg. What is the specific heat capacity of the metal of the container?

Answer: specific heat capacity of the metal of the container

Cm=1143.1J/kg ∙ K

Explanation:

Step one

Given the following data

Mass of metal container Mm=360g

Mass of water Mw=180g

Mass of ice Mice=24g

T1=22°C

T2=15°C

specific heat capacity of water

Cw = 4190 J/kg ∙ K

the heat of fusion of ice

Lf= 3.34 × 10^5 J/kg.

specific heat capacity of the metal of the container Cm=?

Step two

Heat loss by ice cube =

heat gained by water + heat gained by metal container

I.e

Mice*Lice= MwCw(T1-T2)w

+MmCm(T1-T2)

Substituting our data we have

24*3.4*10^5=180*4190*(22-15)

+360*Cm*(22-15)

8160000=754200*7+2520Cm

8160000=5279400+2520Cm

8160000-5279400 =2520Cm

2880600=2520Cm

Divide both side by 2520

2880600/2520=Cm

Cm=1143.1J/kg ∙ K

Where in the world does average daily temperature exceed the annual temperature range?
padilas [110]
The average daily annual temperature range is exceeded in places such as deserts. Deserts tend to be hotter due to the lack of water contained within them. This means that all of the sun's thermal radiation heats up the ground and air. These factors cause deserts to have above average temperatures.

The distance between a proton and an electron is cut in half. How does the force of attraction change?
miv72 [106K]

According to Coulomb’s Law, the force will quadruple.

However…

Let’s assume, for the sake of argument, that both proton and electron behave entirely like particles.

The trajectory of the electron will stretch, and its distance from the nucleus will oscilate until is estabilizes again at the original value.

What is the acceleration of an object that starts at rest and reaches 100 m/s in 4 seconds
azamat

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 25 m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's velocity and time taken can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{v}{t}

where

v is the velocity

t is the time

From the question

v = 100 m/s

t = 4 s

We have

a =  \frac{100}{4}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>25 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you
