A platinum ball weighing 100 g is removed from a furnace and dropped into 400 g of water at 0 degree C. If the equilibrium tempe

rature is 10 degrees C, and the specific heat of platinum is 0.04 cal/g degree C, what must have been the temperature of the furnace? Neglect the effect of the mass of the calorimeter.

Answer:

T = 1010 degree Celsius

Explanation:

mass of ball (Mb) = 100 g

mass of water (Mw) = 400 g

temp of water = 0 degree

specific heat of platinum (C) = 0.04 cal/g degree celsius

we can calculate the temperature of the furnace from the equation before

Mb x C x (temp of furnace (T) - equilibrium temp) = Mw x (equilibrium temp - temp of furnace)

100 x 0.04 x ( T - 10) = 400 x (10 - 0)

4 (T - 10) = 4000

T - 10 = 1000

T = 1010 degree Celsius

Three cars (car F, car G, and car H) are moving with the same speed and slam on their brakes. The most massive car is car F, and

Crazy boy [7]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Normal Force, frictional force, kinematic equations of motion and Newton's second law.

From the kinematic equations of motion we know that the relationship of acceleration, velocity and distance is given by

$v_f^2=v_i^2+2ax$

Where,

$v_f =$ Final velocity

$v_i =$ Initial Velocity

a = Acceleration

x = Displacement

Acceleration can be expressed in terms of the drag coefficient by means of

$F_f = \mu_k (mg) \rightarrow$ Frictional Force

$F = ma \rightarrow$ Force by Newton's second Law

Where,

m = mass

a= acceleration

$\mu_k =$ Kinetic frictional coefficient

g = Gravity

Equating both equation we have that

$F_f = F$

$\mu_k mg=ma$

$a = \mu_k g$

Therefore,

$v_f^2=v_i^2+2ax$

$0=v_i^2+2(\mu_k g)x$

Re-arrange to find x,

$x = \frac{v_i^2}{2(-\mu_k g)}$

The distance traveled by the car depends on the coefficient of kinetic friction, acceleration due to gravity and initial velocity, therefore the three cars will stop at the same distance.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The friction force is the weight force times the coefficient of friction. So diving by the coefficient gives you the weight force which is equivalent to the normal force.

What does an electromagnet have that a bar magnet does not ?

Anon25 [30]

The bar magnet and the electromagnet act identical. The difference being a electromagnet is a coil of wire that has a power source connect to both ends, this energizes the coil with an electromagnetic field.

. Consider the equation =0+0+02/2+03/6+04/24+5/120, where s is a length and t is a time. What are the dimensions and SI units of

Olegator [25]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Given

$s=s_0+v_0t+\frac{a_0t^2}{2}+ \frac{j_0t^3}{6}+\frac{S_0t^4}{24}+\frac{ct^5}{120}$

Solving (a): Units and dimension of $s_0$

From the question, we understand that:

$s \to L$ --- length

$t \to T$ --- time

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

$s=s_0$

Rewrite as:

$s_0=s$

This implies that $s_0$ has the same unit and dimension as $s$

Hence:

$s_0 \to L$ --- dimension

$s_o \to$ Length (meters, kilometers, etc.)

Solving (b): Units and dimension of $v_0$

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

$s=v_0t$

Rewrite as:

$v_0t = s$

Make $v_0$ the subject

$v_0 = \frac{s}{t}$

Replace s and t with their units

$v_0 = \frac{L}{T}$

$v_0 = LT^{-1}$

Hence:

$v_0 \to LT^{-1}$ --- dimension

$v_0 \to$ $m/s$ --- unit

Solving (c): Units and dimension of $a_0$

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

$s=\frac{a_0t^2}{2}$

Rewrite as:

$\frac{a_0t^2}{2} = s_0$

Make $a_0$ the subject

$a_0 = \frac{2s_0}{t^2}$

Replace s and t with their units [ignore all constants]

$a_0 = \frac{L}{T^2}\\$

$a_0 = LT^{-2$

Hence:

$a_0 = LT^{-2$ --- dimension

$a_0 \to$ $m/s^2$ --- acceleration

Solving (d): Units and dimension of $j_0$

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

$s=\frac{j_0t^3}{6}$

Rewrite as:

$\frac{j_0t^3}{6} = s$

Make $j_0$ the subject

$j_0 = \frac{6s}{t^3}$

Replace s and t with their units [Ignore all constants]

$j_0 = \frac{L}{T^3}$

$j_0 = LT^{-3}$

Hence:

$j_0 = LT^{-3}$ --- dimension

$j_0 \to$ $m/s^3$ --- unit

Solving (e): Units and dimension of $s_0$

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

$s=\frac{S_0t^4}{24}$

Rewrite as:

$\frac{S_0t^4}{24} = s$

Make $S_0$ the subject

$S_0 = \frac{24s}{t^4}$

Replace s and t with their units [ignore all constants]

$S_0 = \frac{L}{T^4}$

$S_0 = LT^{-4$

Hence:

$S_0 = LT^{-4$ --- dimension

$S_0 \to$ $m/s^4$ --- unit

Solving (e): Units and dimension of $c$

Ignore other terms of the equation, we have:

$s=\frac{ct^5}{120}$

Rewrite as:

$\frac{ct^5}{120} = s$

Make $c$ the subject

$c = \frac{120s}{t^5}$

Replace s and t with their units [Ignore all constants]

$c = \frac{L}{T^5}$

$c = LT^{-5}$

Hence:

$c \to LT^{-5}$ --- dimension

$c \to m/s^5$ --- units
