A thermally isolated system is made up of a hot piece of aluminum and a cold piece of copper; the aluminum and the copper are in

thermal contact. The specific heat capacity of aluminum is more than double that of copper. Which object experiences the greater temperature change during the time the system takes to reach thermal equilibrium?

Answer:

copper will have more change in temperature as compare with aluminum

Explanation:

Hot piece of copper is made in contact with cold piece of aluminium

So here thermal energy transfer will take place from copper to aluminium

so by energy conservation we can say that heat given by copper is same as the heat absorbed by aluminium.

now we have

m_1s_1\Delta T_1 = m_2s_2\Delta T_2

here we know that

s_1 = specific heat capacity of copper

s_2 = specific heat capacity of aluminum

given that specific heat capacity of aluminium is more than double that of copper

so we can say

s_2 = 2s_1

so here if the mass of copper and aluminium is same then

\Delta T_1 = 2 \Delta T_2

so temperature change of copper is twice the temperature change of aluminium

So copper will have more change in temperature as compare with aluminum

If you stretch a rubber hose and pluck it, you can observe a pulse traveling up and down the hose.(i) What happens to the speed
Monica [59]

The thing that happens to the speed of the pulse when you stretch the hose more tightly is that it increases.

<h3>What is wage speed?</h3>

It should be noted that wave speed simply means the distance that a wave travels during a particular time.

It should be noted that higher tension leads to an increase in the speed of the wave.

Therefore, the thing that happens to the speed of the pulse when you stretch the hose more tightly is that it increases.

Nata [24]
Formula for potential energy is V=mgh, where m is mass in KG, g is earth acceleration (10 m/s^2), and h its height in meters. We know mass, acceleration is constant and also known, we know height also. Lets substitute
V=75*10*300=225000[J]=225[kJ] - its the answer

Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
arsen [322]

Answer:

Given that

speed u=4*10^6 m/s

electric field E=4*10^3 N/c

distance b/w the plates d=2 cm

basing on the concept of the electrostatices

now we find the acceleration b/w the plates  to find the horizontal distance traveled by the electron when it hits the plate.

acceleration a=qE/m=1.6*10^{-19}*4*10^3/9.1*10^{-31} =0.7*10^{15}=7*10^{14} m/s

now we find the horizontal distance traveled by electrons hit the plates

horizontal distance

X=u[2y/a]^{1/2}

=4*10^6[2*2*10^{-2}/7*10^{14}]^{1/2}

=3*10^{-2}= 3 cm
