Complete Question:

The following three hot samples have the same temperature. The same amount of heat is removed from each sample. Which one experiences the smallest drop in temperature, and which one experiences the largest drop? Sample A: 4.0 kg of water [c = 4186 J/(kg·C°)] Sample B: 2.0 kg of oil [c = 2700 J/(kg·C°)] Sample C: 9.0 kg of dirt [c = 1050 J/(kg·C°)]

Answer:

A. Smallest B. Largest.

Explanation:

Assuming no heat exchange except for the heat removed from any sample (which we know is the same for the three ones), and that the process is done using only conduction, we can use the equation that relates the heat lost or gained by one object, with the mass of the object and the consequent change in temperature, as follows:

Q = c*m*ΔT, where c, is a proportionality constant called specific heat, which is different for each material.

As we know that the heat removed is the same for the three samples, we can equate the right sides of the equation for each sample, as follows:

cw*mw*ΔTw = co*mo*ΔTo = cd*md*ΔTd

Replacing by the givens, we have:

4.0 kg. 4,186 J/kgºC*ΔT(ºC) = 2.0 kg*2,700 J/kgºC*ΔT(ºC) =9.0kg*1,050J/kgºC*ΔT(ºC)

As the three expressions must be equal each other, it's clear that the unknown term (the drop in temperature) must compensate the product of the mass times the specific heat.

This product is the following for the three samples:

Water: 4.0 kg*4,186 J/kgºC = 16,744 J/ºC

Oil : 2.0 kg*2,700 J/kgºC    = 5,400 J/ºC

Dirt: 9.0 * 1,050 J/kgºC        = 9,450 J/ºC

Clearly, we see that in order to keep the heat exchange equations equal each other, the water must suffer the smallest drop in temperature, and the oil must experience the largest one.

So, the sample A experiencies the smallest drop in temperature, and sample B does the largest one.

What is the magnitude (in N/C) and direction of an electric field that exerts a 3.50 ✕ 10−5 N upward force on a −1.55 µC charge?
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

The magnitude of electric field is  22.58 N/C

Solution:

Given:

Force exerted in upward direction, \vec{F_{up}} = 3.50\times 10^{- 5} N

Charge, Q = - 1.55\micro C = - 1.55\times 10^{- 6} C

Now, we know by Coulomb's law,

F_{e} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}\frac{Qq}{R^{2}}

Also,

Electric field, E = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}\frac{q}{R^{2}}

Thus from these two relations, we can deduce:

F = QE

Therefore, in the question:

\vec{E} = \frac{\vec F_{up}}{Q}

\vec{E} = \frac{3.50\times 10^{- 5}}{- 1.55\times 10^{- 6}}

\vec{E} = - 22.58 N/C

Here, the negative side is indicative of the Electric field acting in the opposite direction, i.e., downward direction.

The magnitude of the electric field is:

|\vec{E}| = 22.58\ N/C

Find the equivalent resistance of this parallel circuit with two strands.
svlad2 [7]
In a parallel circuit, the total resistance calculated from the individual resistances is computed from the formula: 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2. substituting R1 and R2, then 
1/Rt = 1/7 + 1/49 
1/Rt = 1/6.125 = 1/ 49/8
Rt = 49/8 <span>Ω

The total resistance hence is </span>49/8 Ω
