Answer:

If gravity were stronger, houses and buildings would have to be more sturdy so they do not get crushed to the ground. If gravity were weaker, buildings and houses would have to be built stronger so they do not float away.

Hope this helps you!

If gravity where much weaker, then the houses wouldn’t need as much structural support, and then could be built as much more taller as they wouldn’t go through as much stress. and if gravity was stronger, buildings would need to be a lot more structurally sound and wouldn’tbe able to maintain a tall structure as the force of gravity would be too much for them

a hot piece of copper is placed in an insulated cup. what is the final temperature of the water and copper?

Answer:

Option C. 30°C.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of water (Mw) = 0.5 Kg

Specific heat capacity of water (Cw) = 4.18 KJ/Kg°C

Initial temperature of water (Tw1) =

22°C

Change in temperature (ΔT) = T2 – Tw1 = T2 – 22°C

Mass of copper (Mc) = 0.5 Kg

Specific heat capacity of copper (Cc) = 0.386 KJ/kg°C

Initial temperature of copper (Tc1) = 115°C

Change in temperature (ΔT) = T2 – Tc1 = T2 – 115°C

Final temperature (T2) =..?

Note: Both the water and the piece copper will have the same final temperature and the heat will be zero since the water will cool the piece of copper.

Thus, we can determine the final temperature of the water and copper as follow:

Q = MwCwΔT + McCcΔT

0 = 0.5 x 4.18 x (T2 – 22) + 0.5 x 0.386 x (T2 – 115)

0 = 2.09 (T2 – 22) + 0.193 (T2 – 115)

0 = 2.09T2 – 45.98 + 0.193T2 – 22.195

Collect like terms

2.09T2 + 0.193T2 = 45.98 + 22.195

2.283T2 = 68.175

Divide both side by the coefficient of T2 i.e 2.283

T2 = 68.175/2.283

T2 = 29.8 ≈ 30°C

Therefore, the final temperature of water and copper is 30°C.
