An immersion heater of power J= 500 W is used to heat water in a bowl. After 2 minutes, the temperature increases from T1= 85°C

to T2 = 90°C. The heater is then switched off for an additional minute, and the temperature drops by Estimate the mass of the water in the bowl. The thermal capacity of water c = 4.2 x 103 J K-1 Kg-1

Answer: 0.051kg

Explanation:

Using the law of calorimetry which states that the amount of heat lost by a hot substance is equal to the amount of heat gained by the cold substance.

Applying the law to this question,

Amount of heat lost by the heater = heat gained by the water

Heat lost by Immersion heater Q1 = Power×time

Given power = 500W time = 2minutes = 120seconds

Heat loss by immersion heater = 500×120 = 60,000Joules

Heat gained by water = mc∆t where;

m is the mass of the water in the bowl = ?

c is the specific heat capacity = 4.2x10³JK-1 Kg-1

∆t = change in temperature = 90°C -85°C = 5°C

= 273+5 = 278K

Substituting in the formula we have;

Q2= 4.2×10³×278×m = 1,167,600m

According to the law if calorimetry,

Q2=Q1

1,167,600m = 60000

m = 60000/1,167,600

m = 0.051kg

Therefore the mass of water in the bowl is 0.051kg

A cylinder of diameter 100 mm rolls from restdown a 5 m long ramp and its center of mass is moving with velocity 2 m/s at the bo
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

(a): a = 0.4m/s²

(b): α = 8 radians/s²

Explanation:

First we propose an equation to determine the linear acceleration and an equation to determine the space traveled in the ramp (5m):

a= (Vf-Vi)/t = (2m/s)/t

a: linear acceleration.

Vf: speed at the end of the ramp.

Vi: speed at the beginning of the ramp (zero).

d= (1/2)×a×t² = 5m

d: distance of the ramp (5m).

We replace the first equation in the second to determine the travel time on the ramp:

d = 5m = (1/2)×( (2m/s)/t)×t² = (1m/s)×t ⇒ t = 5s

And the linear acceleration will be:

a = (2m/s)/5s = 0.4m/s²

Now we determine the perimeter of the cylinder to know the linear distance traveled on the ramp in a revolution:

perimeter = π×diameter = π×0.1m = 0.3142m

To determine the angular acceleration we divide the linear acceleration by the radius of the cylinder:

α = (0.4m/s²)/(0.05m) = 8 radians/s²

α: angular aceleration.
