Calculate the specific heat of a metal from the following data. A container made of the metal has a mass of 3.8 kg and contains

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

C = 771.35 J/kg°C

Explanation:

Here, e consider the conservation of energy equation. The conservation of energy principle states that:

Heat Given by Metal Piece = Heat Absorbed by Water + Heat Absorbed by Container

Since,

Heat Given or Absorbed by a material = m C ΔT

Therefore,

m₁CΔT₁ = m₂CΔT₂ + m₃C₃ΔT₃

where,

m₁ = Mass of Metal Piece = 2.3 kg

C = Specific Heat of Metal = ?

ΔT₁ = Change in temperature of metal piece = 165°C - 18°C = 147°C

m₂ = Mass of Metal Container = 3.8 kg

ΔT₂ = Change in temperature of metal piece = 18°C - 15°C = 3°C

m₃ = Mass of Water = 20 kg

C₃ = Specific Heat of Water = 4200 J/kg°C

ΔT₃ = Change in temperature of water = 18°C - 15°C = 3°C

Therefore,

(2.3 kg)(C)(147°C) = (3.8 kg)(C)(3°C) + (20 kg)(4186 J/kg°C)(3°C)

C[(2.3 kg)(147°C) - (3.8 kg)(3°C)] = 252000 J

C = 252000 J/326.7 kg°C

A power plant produces 1000 MW to supply a city 40 km away. Current flows from the power plant on a single wire of resistance 0.

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Current = 8696 A

Fraction of power lost = $\dfrac{80}{529}$ = 0.151

Explanation:

Electric power is given by

$P=IV$

where I is the current and V is the voltage.

$I=\dfrac{P}{V}$

Using values from the question,

$I=\dfrac{1000\times10^6 \text{ W}}{115\times10^3\text{ V}} = 8696 \text{ A}$

The power loss is given by

$P_\text{loss} = I^2R$

where R is the resistance of the wire. From the question, the wire has a resistance of $0.050\Omega$ per km. Since resistance is proportional to length, the resistance of the wire is

$R = 0.050\times40 = 2\Omega$

Hence,

$P_\text{loss} = \left(\dfrac{200000}{23}\right)^2\times2$

The fraction lost = $\dfrac{P_\text{loss}}{P}=\left(\dfrac{200000}{23}\right)^2\times2\div (1000\times10^6)=\dfrac{80}{529}=0.151$

How much work does a student (m = 60 kg) do when he Climb a tower 80 m high?

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

W = 47040 J

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a student, m = 60 kg

Height of the tower, h = 80 m

We need to find the work done in climbing the tower. The work done is given by :

W = mgh

So,

W = 60 × 9.8 × 80

W = 47040 J

So, the required work done is 47040 J.

A soccer field is viewed from above, while a ball is kicked eastward with an initial speed of 10.0 m/s. The ball experiences a c

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

the ball travelled approximately 60 m towards north before stopping

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

First course : $a_{x}$ = 0.75 m/s², $d_{x}$ = 20 m, $u_{x}$ = 10 m/s

now, form the third equation of motion;

v² = u² + 2as

we substitute

$v_{x}$ ² = (10)² + (2 × 0.75 × 20)

$v_{x}$ ² = 100 + 30

$v_{x}$ ² = 130

$v_{x}$ = √130

$v_{x}$ = 11.4 m/s

for the Second Course:

$u_{y}$ = 11.4 m/s, $a_{y}$ = -1.15 m/s², $v_{y}$ = 0

Also, form the third equation of motion;

v² = u² + 2as

we substitute

0² = (11.4)² + (2 × (-1.15) × $d_{y}$ )

0 = 129.96 - 2.3 $d_{y}$

2.3 $d_{y}$ = 129.96

$d_{y}$ = 129.96 / 2.3

$d_{y}$ = 56.5 m

so;

|d| = √( $d_{x}$ ² + $d_{y}$ ² )

we substitute

|d| = √( (20)² + (56.5)² )

|d| = √( 400 + 3192.25 )

|d| = √( 3592.25 )

|d| = 59.9 m ≈ 60 m

Therefore, the ball travelled approximately 60 m towards north before stopping
