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

When you encounter a yellow light as you approach an intersection what is the safest approach to take?
Harlamova29_29 [7]
This isn't a physics question really, but you should slow down unless you don't believe you can stop in time or don't believe it is safe to stop quickly (say you see someone driving very close behind you and you don't think they're paying attention). In general, if you think that by staying at your current speed your back tires will cross the ending lines of the intersection by the time the light turns red, it is safe to go through the yellow light. However, this is a thing you'll develop a feel for as you're driving, when in doubt, just slow down, just watch slamming on your breaks if there is someone behind you, sometimes people will see the yellow light when they're behind you and they'll speed up behind you so they'll "make it" before the light turns yellow. While this isn't illegal, since they're not technically running the red light, you should never speed up going up to a yellow light, if you need to speed up to make it before it turns red, you shouldn't make the light, just stop, this is especially bad if someone is directly in front of you and is likely to stop at the yellow light while the person behind them speeds up. This causes a lot of accidents.

Smaller mammals use proportionately more energy than larger mammals; that is, it takes more energy per gram to power a mouse tha
timama [110]

Answer:

10,200 Cal. per day

Explanation:

The mouse consumes 3.0 Cal each day, and has a mass of 20 grams. We can use this data to obtain a ratio of energy consumption per mass

\frac{3.0 \ Cal}{20 g} = 0.15 \frac{Cal}{g}.

For the human, we need to convert the 68 kilograms to grams. We can do this with a conversion factor. We know that:

1 \ kg = 1000 \ g,

Now, we can divide by 1 kg on each side

\frac{1 \ kg}{1 \ kg} = \frac{1000 \ g}{1 \ kg},

1 = \frac{1000 \ g}{1 \ kg}.

Using this conversion factor, we can obtain the mass of the human in grams, instead of kilograms. First, lets take:

mass_{human} = 68 \ kg

We can multiply this mass for the conversion factor, we are allowed to do this, cause the conversion factor equals 1, and its adimensional

mass_{human} = 68 \ kg * \frac{1000 \ g}{1 \ kg}

mass_{human} = 68,000 g

Now that we know the mass of the human on grams, we can multiply for our ratio of energy consumption

68,000 \ g * 0.15 \frac{Cal}{g} = 10,200 \ Cal

So, we would need 10,200  Cal per day.
