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

Belly-flop Bernie dives from atop a tall flagpole into a swimming pool below. His potential energy at the top is 7000 J (relativ
elena55 [62]

Answer:

KE₂ = 6000 J

Explanation:

Given that

Potential energy at top U₁= 7000 J

Potential energy at bottom U₂= 1000 J

The kinetic energy at top ,KE₁= 0 J

Lets take kinetic energy at bottom level =  KE₂

Now from energy conservation

U₁+ KE₁= U₂+ KE₂

Now by putting the values

U₁+ KE₁= U₂+ KE₂

7000+ 0 = 1000+ KE₂

KE₂ = 7000 - 1000 J

KE₂ = 6000 J

Therefore the kinetic energy at bottom is 6000 J.

A horizontal circular curve on a highway is designed for traffic moving at 60 km/h. If the radius of the curve is 150 m, and if
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The value of  the correct angle of banking for the road is \theta = 67.76 °

Explanation:

Given data

Velocity (v) = 60 \frac{m}{s}

Radius = 150 m

The velocity of the car in this case is given by

v = \sqrt{r g \tan \theta}

v^{2} = r g \tan \theta

\tan \theta = \frac{v^{2} }{rg}

Put all the values in above formula we get

\tan \theta = \frac{60^{2} }{(150)(9.81)}

\tan \theta = 2.446

\theta = 67.76 °

Therefore the value of  the correct angle of banking for the road is \theta = 67.76 °

Lerok [7]
The definition for the prime meridian is: The prime meridian with 0 degrees longitude runs through Greenwich. Polaris is the north star <span>at 50 degrees above the horizon, which means 50 degrees latitude. 
</span>If you observe Polaris  at 50 degrees of altitude, you are at latitude 50 North. You that's why you know that your boat's location is <span>50º north latitude and 0º longitude.</span>
