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

A 150 g egg is dropped from 3.0 meters. The egg is
Lynna [10]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>

<u><em>9.2 N, with significant figure rounding (2 s.f.) </em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

<u><em>This problem can be solved using momentum. The following equation relates momentum (mass & velocity) with force and time:</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>Note that  where v is the final velocity and v₀ is the initial velocity. Δv just means change in velocity.</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>Mass of the egg is 150 g, but we need to convert to kilograms if we want to use Newtons as a unit. 150 g is equal to 0.15 kg. since 1000 g = 1kg. </em></u>

<u><em>m = 0.15 kg</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>The dropped from 3.0 meters is irrelevant as the question tells us the initial velocity of the egg: 4.4 m/s before it hits the ground.</em></u>

<u><em>v₀ = 4.4 m/s [down]</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>When it comes to a stop, the egg will have a velocity of 0.</em></u>

<u><em>v = 0 m/s</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>The time it takes for the egg to stop is 0.072 seconds.</em></u>

<u><em>Δt = 0.072 s</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>Therefore, if down is positive, then</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>   </em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>We round to two significant figures since every quantity has two sig. figs.</em></u>

<u><em>We only care about the magnitude, not direction. The answer is 9.2 N.</em></u>

what equastion do you use to solve Riders in a carnival ride stand with their backs against the wall of a circular room of diame
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

μsmín = 0.1

Explanation:

  • There are three external forces acting on the riders, two in the vertical direction that oppose each other, the force due to gravity (which we call weight) and the friction force.
  • This friction force has a maximum value, that can be written as follows:

       F_{frmax} = \mu_{s} *F_{n} (1)

       where  μs is the coefficient of static friction, and Fn is the normal force,

       perpendicular to the wall and aiming to the center of rotation.

  • This force is the only force acting in the horizontal direction, but, at the same time, is the force that keeps the riders rotating, which is the centripetal force.
  • This force has the following general expression:

       F_{c} =  m* \omega^{2} * r (2)

       where ω is the angular velocity of the riders, and r the distance to the

      center of rotation (the  radius of the circle), and m the mass of the

      riders.

      Since Fc is actually Fn, we can replace the right side of (2) in (1), as

      follows:

     F_{frmax} = m* \mu_{s} * \omega^{2} * r (3)

  • When the riders are on the verge of sliding down, this force must be equal to the weight Fg, so we can write the following equation:

       m* g = m* \mu_{smin} * \omega^{2} * r (4)

  • (The coefficient of static friction is the minimum possible, due to any value less than it would cause the riders to slide down)
  • Cancelling the masses on both sides of (4), we get:

       g = \mu_{smin} * \omega^{2} * r (5)

  • Prior to solve (5) we need to convert ω from rev/min to rad/sec, as follows:

      60 rev/min * \frac{2*\pi rad}{1 rev} *\frac{1min}{60 sec} =6.28 rad/sec (6)

  • Replacing by the givens in (5), we can solve for μsmín, as follows:

       \mu_{smin} = \frac{g}{\omega^{2} *r}  = \frac{9.8m/s2}{(6.28rad/sec)^{2} *2.5 m} =0.1 (7)
