Specific heat of the material thus calculated is 0.22 J/ g °C

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given:

Mass of the sample (m) = 50g

Heat energy = Q = 660 J

Temperature get raised from 20° C to 80° C

To Find:

Specific Heat of the material.

Formula to be used:

Q = m×C×ΔT

where we know that,

Heat energy = Q = 660 J

Mass = m = 50 g

ΔT = 80 - 20 = 60° C

Now to calculate the specific heat of the material (c) we must substitute all the values, Then we get,

$C=\frac{Q}{m \times \Delta T}$

$=\frac{660 \mathrm{J}}{50 \mathrm{g} \times 60^{\circ} \mathrm{C}}$

$=0.22 \frac{J}{g^{\circ} \mathrm{C}}$

Thus the Specific heat of the material is 0.22 J/ g °C.

FORCE AND DISPLACEMENT AT AN ANGLE A sailor pulls a boat a distance of 30.0 m along a dock using a rope that makes a 25.0° angle

Bingel [31]

Answer: 6117.58 J

Explanation:

We know that W=Fd*cos(theta) where theta is the angle between the displacement and the force.

In this case, we are given that F=225 N, d=30 m, and theta=25 degrees.

Plugging all this in we get

W=225*30*cos(25)=6117.58 J

Two electrons travel towards each other at 0.2 c parallel to the laboratory x-axis. What is the relative velocity of one electro

Leya [2.2K]

1) In the reference frame of one electron: 0.38c

To find the relative velocity of one electron with respect to the other, we must use the following formula:

$u'=\frac{u-v}{1-\frac{uv}{c^2}}$

where

u is the velocity of one electron

v is the velocity of the second electron

c is the speed of light

In this problem:

u = 0.2c

v = -0.2c (since the second electron is moving towards the first one, so in the opposite direction)

Substituting, we find:

$u'=\frac{0.2c+0.2c}{1+\frac{(0.2c)(0.2c)}{c^2}}=\frac{0.4c}{1+0.04}=0.38c$

2) In the reference frame of the laboratory: -0.2c and +0.2c

In this case, there is no calculation to be done. In fact, we are already given the speed of the two electrons; we are also told that they travel in opposite direction, so their velocities are

+0.2c

-0.2c

The velocity of a passenger relative to a boat is -vpb. The velocity of the boat relative to the river it is moving on is vbr. T

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

vps = vbr + vrs - vpb

Explanation:

If the passenger were at rest, his speed relative to the shore will be identical to the boat's, as follows:
vps = vbr + vrs
As he is moving in a direction opposite to the boat's, his velocity relative to the shore must be less than if he were at rest, in the same quantity that he was moving opposite to the boat, as follows:
vps = vbr+ vrs -vpb

When light passes through sequential interfaces, there may be a change of phase upon reflection at each interface.

Lena [83]

That's true.

I have a hunch that there definitely IS a change of phase at every reflection.

The children at the local park think the slide is too slow. There is too much fiction. What could you do to decrease the amount

igor_vitrenko [27]

In order to decrease the friction on the slide,
we could try some of these:

-- Install a drippy pipe across the top that keeps continuously
dripping olive oil on the top end of the slide. The oil oozes
down the slide and keeps the whole slide greased.

-- Hire a man to spread a coat of butter on the whole slide,
every 30 minutes.

-- Spray the whole slide with soapy sudsy water, every 30 minutes.

-- Drill a million holes in the slide,and pump high-pressure air
through the holes. Make the slide like an air hockey table.

-- Keep the slide very cold, and keep spraying it with a fine mist
of water. The water freezes, and a thin coating of ice stays on
the slide.

-- Ask a local auto mechanic to please, every time he changes
the oil in somebody's car, to keep all the old oil, and once a week
to bring his old oil to the park, to spread on the slide. If it keeps
the inside of a hot car engine slippery, it should do a great job
keeping a simple park slide slippery.

-- Keep a thousand pairs of teflon pants near the bottom of the ladder
at the beginning of the slide. Anybody who wants to slide faster can
borrow a set of teflon pants, put them on before he uses the slide, and
return them when he's ready to go home from the park.
