7.00 kg piece of solid copper metal at an initial temperature T is placed with 2.00 kg of ice that is initially at -20.0°C. The

ice is in an insulated container of negligible mass and no heat is exchanged with the surroundings. After thermal equilibrium is reached, there is 0.90 kg of ice and 1.10 kg of liquid water.
Required:
What was the initial temperature of the piece of copper?

Answer:

122°C

Explanation:

From the data Final temperature is 0 deg C since there is 0.9kg of ice and 1.10kg of liquid water.

That means that 1.10kg of the ice undergoes Heat of Fusion which is 3.34x10^5 J/kg...

Heat lost by copper = Heat gained by ice + Heat of fusion

-> (7.0kg)(390J/kg*C)(0-T) = (2.00kg)(2100J/kg*C)(0 - (-20) + (1.10kg)(3.34x10^5 J/kg)

-> T(2730) = 334001

-> T = 122°C

What are gamma rays and what are its uses??<br>​
sukhopar [10]

"Gamma rays" is the name that we call the shortest of all electromagnetic waves.  They're shorter than radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, heat waves, visible light waves, ultraviolet waves, and X-rays.  They extend all the way down to waves that are as short as the distance across an atom.

Being so short, they carry lots of energy.  They can penetrate many materials, and they can damage living cells and DNA.  They're dangerous.

The sun puts out a lot of gamma radiation.  The atmosphere (air) filters out a lot of it, otherwise there couldn't even be any life on Earth.  

As soon as astronauts fly out of the atmosphere, they need a lot of shielding from gamma rays.

You know the precautions we take when we're around X-rays.  The same precautions apply around gamma rays, only a lot more so.

It's only in the past several years that we've learned how to MAKE gamma rays without blowing things up.  Also, how to control them, and how to use them for medical and industrial applications.

A bird uses 10 N of force to pull a worm out of the ground a distance of 3 inches. How much work did the bird do?
pochemuha

Answer:

The work done by the bird is 0.762 J

Explanation:

Given;

force applied by the bird, f = 10 N

distance the bird moved the worm, d = 3 inches = 0.0762 m

The work done by the bird is given by;

W = F x d

where;

W is the work done by the bird

d is the distance the bird moved the load

Substitute the given values and estimate the work done by the bird;

W = 10 x 0.0762

W = 0.762 J

Therefore, the work done by the bird is 0.762 J

An electron is projected vertically upward with a speed of 1.70 ✕ 106 m/s into a uniform magnetic field of 0.320 t that is direc
Serggg [28]
The electron's path in the magnetic field is a straight line when viewed from above.

In fact, the electron initially moves upward, while the magnetic field is directed horizontally. The electron experiences a force due to the magnetic field (the Lorentz force), whose direction is given by the right-hand rule:
- index finger --> initial direction of the electron (upward)
- middle finger --> direction of the magnetic field (horizontally, away from the observer)
- opposite direction to the thumb* --> direction of the force (horizontally, but perpendicular to the magnetic field, to the right)

This means that the Lorentz force makes the electron moving perpendicular to the magnetic field in the horizontal plane, and since the direction of the field is not changing, this force does not change its direction, so the electron moves in the same direction of the force in the horizontal plane (to the right), therefore following a straight line.

* the direction should be reversed because the charge is negative.
