Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning.

After 11 hours of burning, a candle has a height of 27.9 centimeters. After 30 hours of burning, its height is 26 centimeters. What is the height of the candle after 20 hours?

Answer:

y = 27 cm

Explanation:

given,

After 11 hours of burning height of candle is 27.9 cm

After 30 hours of burning height of candle is 26 cm

height after 20 hour = ?

the candle height decreases linearly

using linear equation

y = m x+ c

27.9 = m (11 ) + C.......(1)

26 = m (30) + C..............(2)

on solving equation (1) and (2)

1.9 = -19 m

m = -0.1

from equation 2

26 = -3 + C

C = 29

y = m x + 29

at 20 hour

y = -0.1× 20 + 29

y = 27

height of candle after 20 hours is 27 cm.

A 25.0-g sample of copper at 363 K is placed in I 00.0 g of water at 293 K. The copper and water quickly come to the sa me tempe
Simora [160]

Answer:

Final temperature is 295K

Explanation:

Where the sample of copper is placed in the water, the heat transferred from the copper is equal that the heat absorbed by the water.

The heat transferred from the copper is:

C×\frac{1mol}{63,546g}×mass×ΔT

Where C is molar heat capacity of copper (24,5J/molK)

Mass is 25,0g

And ΔT is final temperature - initial temperature (X-363K)

Also, the heat absorbed by the water is:

-C×\frac{1mol}{18,02g}×mass×ΔT

Where C is molar heat capacity of water (75,2J/molK)

Mass is 100,0g

And ΔT is final temperature - initial temperature (X-293K)

As heat transferred is equal to heat absorbed:

24,5J/molK×\frac{1mol}{63,546g}×25,0g×(X-363K) = -75,2J/molK×\frac{1mol}{18,02g}×100,0g× (X-293K)

9,64X J/K - 3499J = - 417X J/K + 122273J

426,64X J/K = 125772 J

<em>X = 295K</em>

<em></em>

Final temperature is 295K

I hope it helps!

A watermelon is dropped off of a 50 ft bridge, and it explodes upon impact with the ground. How fast was it traveling in mph upo
Drupady [299]

Answer: 56.72 ft/s

Explanation:

Ok, initially we only have potential energy, that is equal to:

U =m*g*h

where g is the gravitational acceleration, m the mass and h the height.

h = 50ft and g = 32.17 ft/s^2

when the watermelon is near the ground, all the potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy, and the kinetic energy can be written as:

K = (1/2)*m*v^2

where v is the velocity.

Then we have:

K = U

m*g*h = (m/2)*v^2

we solve it for v.

v = √(2g*h) = √(2*32.17*50) ft/s = 56.72 ft/s
