Answer:

The specific heat capacity of the zinc metal measured in this experiment is 0.427 J/g.°C

Explanation:

From the experimental data, the water loses heat because its initial temperature is greater than the final temperature of the mixture. On the other hand, the zinc metal gains heat because its initial temperature is less than the final temperature of the mixture

Heat loss by water = Heat gain by zinc metal

m1C1(T1 - T3) = m2C2(T3 - T2)

m1 is mass of water = 55.4 g

C1 is specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J/g.°C

m2 is mass of zinc metal = 23.4 g

C2 is specific heat capacity of zinc metal

T1 is the initial temperature of water = 99.61 °C

T2 is the initial temperature of zinc metal = 21.6 °C

T3 is the final temperature of the mixture = 96.4 °C

55.4×4.2(99.61 - 96.4) = 23.4×C2(96.4 - 21.6)

746.9028 = 1750.32C2

C2 = 746.9028/1750.32 = 0.427 J/g.°C

olga55 [171]

Answer: 0.757m; 0.881m; 432.70Hz; 371.89Hz

Explanation:

Give the following :

Velocity of train (Vt) = 26m/s

Frequency of sound (Fs) = 420Hz

Speed of sound (Vs) = 344m/s

1) wavelength = (Vs - Vt) / Fs

Wavelength = (344 - 26) / 420 = 318/420 = 0.757m

11) Wavelength = (Vs + Vt) / Fs

Wavelength = (344 + 26) / 420 = 370/420 = 0.881m

111) According to the doppler effect :

Fl = [(V + Vl) / (V + Vs)] * fs

Fl = frequency of listener ; fs = frequency of sound source ; V = speed of sound ; Vl = Velocity of listener ; Vs = speed of sound source

Vs = - ve (train moving towards listener)

Fl = [(V + Vl) / (V + Vs)] * fs

Fl = [(344 + 0) / (344 - 26)] * 400

Fl = (344 / 318) * 400 = 432.70Hz

1V) Vs = + ve (train moving away listener)

Fl = [(V + Vl) / (V + Vs)] * fs

Fl = [(344 + 0) / (344 + 26)] * 400

Fl = (344 / 370) * 400 = 371.89Hz
