Your friend comes across a good deal to purchase a gold ring. She asks you for advice and for you to test the ring. The ring has

a mass of a 4.54 g. When you heat the ring with 94.8 J of energy, its temperature rises from 23.0°C to 47.5°C. Would you advise your friend that she is getting a good deal? Explain. The specific heat capacity of gold is 0.1291 J/g•°C.

Answer:

She is not getting a good deal.

Explanation:

The equation that relates heat with mass, specific heat and temperature change of an object is Q=mc\Delta T.

Always convert temperature to Kelvin, although in our case it's not necessary because the \Delta T will be the same, and we will leave the mass in grams because we will be getting J/g^{\circ}C units for specific heat, which we can compare to the one given for gold.

We then calculate the specific heat of the object in question:

c=\frac{Q}{m\Delta T}=\frac{94.8J}{(4.54g)(47.5^{\circ}C-23^{\circ}C)}=0.8523 J/g^{\circ}C

Which shows it's not gold.

the andromeda galaxy is approaching our galaxy with a radial velocity of 120 km/s. given the galaxies present separation of 800
Nookie1986 [14]

The andromeda galaxy is approaching our galaxy with a radial velocity of 120 km/s. given the galaxies present separation of 800 kpc, and neglecting both the transverse component of the velocity and the effect of gravity in accelerating the motion, estimate when the two galaxies will collide.

The Andromeda Galaxy, also known as Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224 and originally the Andromeda Nebula, is a barred spiral galaxy that is 2.5 million light-years away from Earth and the closest big galaxy to the Milky Way. It has a diameter of roughly 46.56 kiloparsecs.

The Milky Way, which houses the Solar System and Earth, and the Andromeda Galaxy are anticipated to collide in roughly 4.5 billion years. This galactic collision will take place between the two largest galaxies in the Local Group. The Andromeda galaxy is the brightest galaxy outside of our solar system. It is the furthest object that the majority of us humans can see with our unaided eyes at a distance of 2.5 million light-years.

A friend pushes a sled across horizontal snow and when it gets up to speed the friend jumps on. After the friend jumps on, the s
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

      v’ =( \frac{1}{1+ \frac{M}{m} }  )  v

we see that the greater the difference, the more the sled slows down.

friction force

Explanation:

When the man pushes the sled he does work and the sled acquires a speed and as long as it is supplied with an energy equal to the work of the chipping force with the snow, the speed is maintained.

When he jumps on the sled, a collision occurs and the initial moment

             p₀ = mv

is increased by the increase in mass

             m_f= (m + M_{man} ) v '

In this case there is no longer any external force applied and the only external force is friction, which causes the sled to stop, even when it is small, but the significant reduction in speed is due to the increase in masses.

            p₀ = p_f

            mv = (m + M_{man}) v '

            v ’=  \frac{m}{m+M} v

            v’ =( \frac{1}{1+ \frac{M}{m} }  )  v

Therefore, we see that the greater the difference, the more the sled slows down.

The only forces that act on the sled with the man are the friction that is responsible for the decrease in speed and weight with the normal

A 1.0 kg object is attached to a string 0.50 m. It is twirled in a horizontal circle above the ground at a speed of 5.0 m/s.
zysi [14]

Answer: d

Explanation:

For an object to move in a uniform circular motion, only force that acts on it is the centripetal force which acts along the line joining the object and center of the circular path. The acceleration also acts in the direction of force. The centripetal acceleration acts along the radius of the circular motion path.

In the given horizontal circle, the direction of the acceleration of the object points towards d.
