Answer:

T = 40.501\,^{\textdegree}C

Explanation:

The interaction of the piece of copper and water means that the first one need to transfer heat in order to reach a thermal equilibrium with water. Then:

-Q_{out,Cu} = Q_{in,H_{2}O}

After a quick substitution, the expanded expression is:

-(43.9\,g)\cdot (0.385\,\frac{J}{g\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} )\cdot (T-135^{\textdegree}C) = (254\,g)\cdot (4.187\,\frac{J}{g\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} )\cdot (T-39\,^{\textdegree}C)

-16.902\,\frac{J}{^{\textdegree}C}\cdot (T-135^{\textdegree}C) = 1063.498\,\frac{J}{^{\textdegree}C} \cdot  (T-39^{\textdegree}C)

43758,192\,J = 1080.4\,\frac{J}{^{\textdegree}C}\cdot T

The final temperature of the system is:

T = 40.501\,^{\textdegree}C

Answer:

40.497 °C

Explanation:

Heat lost by copper = heat gained by water

CM(T₁-T₃) = cm(T₃-T₂)........................ Equation 1

Where C = specific heat capacity of copper, M = mass of copper, T₁ = Initial Temperature of copper, T₂ = Initial Temperature of water, T₃ = final temperature of the system,

Make T₃ the subject of the equation

T₃= (CMT₁+cmT₂)/(CM+cm)................. Equation 2

Given: C = 0.385 J/g°C, M = 43.9 g, c = 4.2 J/g°C, m = 254 g, T₁ = 135 °C, T₂ = 39 °C

Substitute into equation 2

T₃ = (0.385×43.9×135+4.2×254×39)/(0.385×43.9+4.2×254)

T₃ = (2281.70+41605.2)/(16.9015+1066.8)

T₃ = 43886.9/1083.7015

T₃ = 40.497 °C.

Hence the final temperature of the system = 40.497 °C

How is the earth changing??? How would you answer this question at this point???

Scientists have been observing Earth for a long time. They use NASA satellites and other instruments to collect many types of information about Earth's land, atmosphere, ocean and ice. This information tells us that Earth's climate is getting warmer.


Extra:

Extra greenhouse gases in our atmosphere are the main reason that Earth is getting warmer. Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane, trap the Sun's heat in Earth's atmosphere.

It's normal for there to be some greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. They help keep Earth warm enough to live on. But too many greenhouse gases can cause too much warming.

The burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil increase the amount of CO2 in our air. This happens because the burning process combines carbon with oxygen in the air to make CO2.

It's important that we monitor CO2 levels, because too much CO2 can cause too much warming on Earth. Several NASA missions have instruments that study CO2 in the atmosphere.

What's a difference between mercury and oxygen?<br> (They both are elements)
borishaifa [10]

--  There are 80 protons in the nucleus of every atom of Mercury,
but only 8 of them in the nucleus of an atom of Oxygen.

-- Mercury must be warmer than 357°C in order to boil, but Oxygen
must only be warmer than -183°C.

--  Mercury must be colder than -39°C in order to freeze, but Oxygen
must be colder than -219°C.

--  Oxygen is required for human life.  Mercury is a deadly poison.

stich3 [128]

Answer:

f = 556.4 N

Explanation:

Mass of the losing player with its all equipment is given as

M = 86 kg

Net force applied on him by another player is given as

F = 780 N

also we know that acceleration of the losing player is given as

a = 2.6 m/s^2

now by Newton's 2nd law we will have

F - f = ma

780 - f = 86(2.6)

780 - f = 223.6

f = 556.4 N
