In grinding a steel knife blade (specific heat = 0.11 cal/g-c),the metal can get as hot as 400C. If the blade has a mass of 80g,

what is the minimum amount of water needed at 20C if the water isnot to rise above the boiling point when the hot blade is quenchedin it?

Answer:

33 g.

Explanation:

Assuming no heat transfer can be possible except for heat exchange between water and steel, we can say that the heat lost by the knife, must be equal to the heat gained by the water.

As we have a limit for the maximum temperature of both elements (once reached a final thermal equilibrium), of 100ºC, which means that the maximum allowable change in temperature will be of 300º C for the knife, and of 80º C for the water.

Empirically , it has been showed that for a heat exchange process using only conduction, the heat needed to raise the temperature of a body, is proportional to the mass, being the proportionality constant a factor that depends on the material, called specific heat.

So, we can write the following equation:

cs*mk*Δtk = cw*mw*Δtw

Replacing by the givens of the question, we have:

0.11 cal/gºC * 80 g * 300ºC = 1 cal/gºC*mw*80ºC

Solving for mw = 2,640 cal / 80 cal/g =33 g.

if you drop a softball from just above your knee, the kinetic energy of the ball just before it hits the ground is about 1 jule,
ipn [44]
False.

The mass of a softball is approximately 200 g (0.2 kg), while the knees are located approximately at 30 cm (0.3 m) from the ground. It means that the gravitational potential energy of the ball when it is dropped is
U=mgh=(0.2 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(0.3 m)=0.6 J

This corresponds to the total mechanical energy of the ball at the moment it is dropped, because there is no kinetic energy (the ball starts from rest). Then the ball is dropped, and just before it hits the ground, all this energy is converted into kinetic energy: but energy cannot be created, so its final kinetic energy cannot be greater than 0.6 J.

How can an electric current produce a magnetic field
anygoal [31]

Answer:

When the compass is placed below the wire, and the electric current switched on, the needle deflects in the opposite direction. If an electric current is passed through a long coil of wire (a solenoid ) a magnetic field is produced which is the same shape as that of a bar magnet.
