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

sasho [114]

Answer:

Distance traveled will be 5.6307 m

Explanation:

Time t = 3 sec

We have given force F = 25 N

We know that force is given by F = ma

So ma = 25 -----------eqn 1

Weight is given by W = 196 N

We know that weight is given by W = mg

So mg = 196 -----------------eqn 2

From equation 1 and equation 2 \frac{a}{g}=\frac{25}{196}

a=1.2512m/sec^2

Initial velocity is given as 0 so u = 0 m/sec

From second equation of motion s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2=0\times 3+\frac{1}{2}\times 1.2512\times 3^2=5.6307m

What causes the rider on a roller coaster to experience the + or - g’s if gravity always remains the same on earth
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Yes both = and - g can be felt by a rider in a roller coaster.

Explanation:

It is crucial to understand how we feel gravity in this case.

We humans have no sensory organs to directly detect magnitude and direction like some birds and other creatures, but then how do we we feel gravity?

When we stand on our feet we feel our weight due to the normal reaction of floor on our feet trying to keep us stand and our weight trying to crush us down. In an elevator we feel difference in our weight (difference magnitudes of gravity) but actually we are feeling the differences in normal reactions under different accelerations of the elevator.

In the case of roller coaster you will feel +g as you  sit on a chair in it, but will feel -g when you are in upside down position as roller coaster move.

When you are seated you will feel the normal reaction of seat on you giving you the feeling +g and the support of the buckles to stay in the roller coaster when you are upside down will give you the -g feeling.

<u>This is just the physics approach</u>, a biological approach can be given in association with sensors relating to ears.
