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

An airplane has a takeoff speed of 62 m/s. assuming a constant acceleration of 1.7 m/s2, what is the minimum length of runway it
UkoKoshka [18]

Data:

u=0 m/s is the initial velocity of the plane

v=62 m/s is the final velocity of the plane (at which the plane takes off)

a=1.7 m/s^2 is the acceleration of the plane

To find the minimum distance S the plane needs to take off, we can use the following equation:

2aS=v^2 -u^2

Re-arranging it and substituting the numbers, we find

S=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}=\frac{(62 m/s)^2-0}{2(1.7 m/s^2)}=1131 m

Ships A and B leave port together. For the next two hours, ship A travels at 40.0 mph in a direction 35.0° west of north while t
kompoz [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Ship A velocity is 40 mph and is traveling 35 west of north

Therefore in 2 hours it will travel 40\times 2=80 miles

thus its position vector after two hours is

r_A=-80sin35\hat{i}+80cos35\hat{j}

similarly B travels with 20 mph and in 2 hours

=20\times 2=40 miles Its position vector[tex]r_B=40sin80\hat{i}+40cos80\hat{j}

Thus distance between A and B  is

r_{AB}=\left ( -40sin80-80sin35\right )\hat{i}+\left ( 80cos35-40cos80\right )\hat{j}

|r_{AB}|=\sqrt{\left ( -40sin80-80sin35\right )^2+\left ( 80cos35-40cos80\right )^2}

|r_{AB}|=103.45 miles

Velocity of A

v_A=-40sin35\hat{i}+40cos35\hat{j}

Velocity of B

v_B=20sin80\hat{i}+20cos80\hat{j}

Velocity of A w.r.t B

v_{AB}=v_A-v_B

v_{AB}=\left ( -20sin80-40sin35\right )\hat{i}+\left ( 40cos35-20cos80\right )\hat{j}
