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

Explain why does the bowling ball decelerate as it travels along the lane
frutty [35]

The main cause of this is Friction. The more oil that is laid down, the less friction there is between the ball and the lane surface. The less friction, the harder it is for the bowler to send the ball in a curved path imparted by the spin that the bowler puts on the ball at the instant of release.

The first car has twice the mass of a second car, but only half as much kinetic energy. When both cars increase their speed by 9
kirill [66]

Answer:

Speed of the car 1 =V_1=8.98m/s

Speed of the car 2 =V_2=17.96m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the car 1 , M₁ = Twice the mass of car 2(M₂)

mathematically,

M₁ = 2M₂

Kinetic Energy of the car 1 = Half the kinetic energy of the car 2

KE₁ = 0.5 KE₂

Now, the kinetic energy for a body is given as

KE =\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where,

m = mass of the body

v = velocity of the body

thus,

\frac{1}{2}M_1V_1^2=0.5\times \frac{1}{2}M_2V_2^2

or

\frac{1}{2}2M_2V_1^2=0.5\times \frac{1}{2}M_2V_2^2

or

2M_2V_1^2=0.5\times M_2V_2^2

or

2V_1^2=0.5\times V_2^2

or

4V_1^2= V_2^2

or

2V_1= V_2  .................(1)

also,

\frac{1}{2}M_1(V_1+9.0)^2=\frac{1}{2}M_2(V_2+9.0)^2

or

\frac{1}{2}2M_2(V_1+9.0)^2=\frac{1}{2}M_2(2V_1+9.0)^2

or

2(V_1+9.0)^2=(2V_1+9.0)^2

or

\sqrt{2}(V_1+9.0)=(2V_1+9.0)

or

(\sqrt{2}V_1+ \sqrt{2}\times 9.0)=(2V_1+9.0)

or

(\sqrt{2}V_1+ 12.72)=(2V_1+9.0)

or

(2V_1-\sqrt{2}V_1)=(12.72-9.0)

or

(0.404V_1)=(3.72)

or

V_1=8.98m/s

and, from equation (1)

V_2=2\times 8.98m/s = 17.96m/s

Hence,

Speed of car 1 =V_1=8.98m/s

Speed of car 2 =V_2=17.96m/s

An object is hanging by a string from the ceiling of an elevator. The elevator is moving upward with a constant speed. What is t
xeze [42]

Answer:

The magnitude of the tension in he string is equal to the magnitude of the weight of the object.

Explanation:

According to the Newton's 1st law, An object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

In here, the elevator is moving with a constant speed. So the object must have the equal constant speed. Which means, it has a uniform motion. According to Newton's 1st law, the total unbalanced force on the object must be zero . As we know, there are only two forces are on the object and they are,

The tension in string(T)   ,   The weight of the object(W) .

                                  ∴ F    =   0

                                 T  -  W  =   0

So to balanced those forces, the magnitude of the tension in the string must be equal to the magnitude of the weight of  the object.

What is 7.832 rounded to the nearest 10th?
Galina-37 [17]

When rounding you look at the number right after the one you want to round. The tenth place is the one right after the decimal. If the number after it is more than five it goes up by one, it it's less than five it stays the same. So since the number after the 8 is a 3 it stays the same.

The answer is 7.8
