Answer:
Specific heat of brass is 0.40 J g⁻¹ °C⁻¹ .
Explanation:
Given :
Mass of brass, m₁ = 440 g
Temperature of brass, T₁ = 97° C
Mass of water, m₂ = 350 g
Temperature of water, T₂ = 23° C
Specific heat of water, C₂ = 4.18 J g⁻¹ °C⁻¹
Equilibrium temperature, T = 31° C
Let C₁ be the specific heat of brass.
Heat loss by brass = Heat gain by water
m₁ x C₁ x ( T₁ -T ) = m₂ x C₂ x ( T - T₁ )
Substitute the suitable values in above equation.
440 x C₁ x (97 - 31) = 350 x 4.18 x (31 - 23)
C₁ = 
C₁ = 0.40 J g⁻¹ °C⁻¹
Answer:
a)
= 4.67m/s
b) V = 8.29 m/s
Explanation:
Givens:
The bullet is 5.30g moving at 963m/s and its speed reduced to 426m/s. The wooden block is 610g.
a) From conservation of linear momentum
Pi = Pf

where
are the mass and the initial velocity of the bullet,
and
are the mass and the initial velocity of the wooden block, and
and
are the final velocities of the wooden block and the bullet
The wooden block is initial at rest
this yields

By solving for
adn substitute the givens
= 
= 
= 4.67m/s
b) The center of mass speed is defined as

substituting:

V = 8.29 m/s
B. to show that there was conflict between what scientists were observing about the universe and what religion taught them
Explanation:
Centripetal acceleration is:
a = v² / r
a = (4.0 m/s)² / 0.60 m
a = 26.6 m/s²
It becomes faster because there is less weight being pulled
