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

a hawk flies in a horizontal arc of radius 10.3 m at a constant speed of 4.8 m/s. find its centripetal acceleration. answer in u
n200080 [17]

The hawk’s centripetal acceleration is 2.23 m/s²

The magnitude of the acceleration under new conditions is 2.316 m/s²

radius of the horizontal arc = 10.3 m

the initial constant speed = 4.8 m/s

we know that the centripetal acceleration is given by

    a_{c}  = \frac{v^{2} }{r}

   a_{c}  = 23.04/10.3

    a_{c}  = 2.23 m/s²

It continues to fly but now with some tangential acceleration

a_{t} = 0.63 m/s²

therefore the net value of acceleration is given by the resultant of the centripetal acceleration and the tangential acceleration

so

a_{net}  =  \sqrt{a_{c} ^{2} +a_{t} ^{2}   }

a_{net}  =  \sqrt{4.97 + 0.396}

a_{net}  =  2.316 m/s²

So the magnitude of  net acceleration will become 2.316 m/s².

A 50kg meteorite moving at 1000 m/s strikes Earth. Assume the velocity is along the line joining Earth's center of mass and the
zysi [14]

As per the question, the mass of meteorite [ m]= 50 kg

                       The velocity of the meteorite [v] = 1000 m/s

When the meteorite falls on the ground, it will give whole of its kinetic energy to earth.

We are asked to calculate the gain in kinetic energy of earth.

The kinetic energy of meteorite is calculated as -

                                       Kinetic\ energy\ [K.E]\ =\frac{1}{2} mv^2

                                                             =\frac{1}{2}50kg*[1000\ m/s]^2

                                                               =\frac{1}{2}50* 10^{6}\ J

                                                               =25*10^6\ J    

Here, J stands for Joule which is the S.I unit of energy.

Hence,\ the\ kinetic\ energy\ gained\ by\ earth\ is\ 25*10^6\ J

A Hall probe, consisting of a rectangular slab of current-carrying material, is calibrated by placing it in a known magnetic fie
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

(a) 0.345 T

(b) 0.389 T

Solution:

As per the question:

Hall emf, V_{Hall} = 20\ mV = 0.02\ V

Magnetic Field, B = 0.10 T

Hall emf, V'_{Hall} = 69\ mV = 0.069\ V

Now,

Drift velocity, v_{d} = \frac{V_{Hall}}{B}

v_{d} = \frac{0.02}{0.10} = 0.2\ m/s

Now, the expression for the electric field is given by:

E_{Hall} = Bv_{d}sin\theta                            (1)

And

E_{Hall} = V_{Hall}d

Thus eqn (1) becomes

V_{Hall}d = dBv_{d}sin\theta

where

d = distance

B = \frac{V_{Hall}}{v_{d}sin\theta}                      (2)

(a) When \theta = 90^{\circ}

B = \frac{0.069}{0.2\times sin90} = 0.345\ T

(b) When \theta = 60^{\circ}

B = \frac{0.069}{0.2\times sin60} = 0.398\ T

There is a moon orbiting an Earth-like planet. The mass of the moon is 9.58 × 1022 kg, the center-to-center separation of the pl
kaheart [24]

Answer:

= 4.38 × 10³⁴kgm²/s

Explanation:

Given that,

mass of moon m = 9.5 × 10²²kg

Orbital radius r = 4.28  × 10⁵km

Orbital period  T = 28.9days

T = 28.9  × 24 × 60 × 60

   = 2,496,960s

Angular momentum of the moon about the planet

L = mvr

L = mr²w

L = mr^2\frac{2\pi }{T} \\\\L = \frac{9.5 \times 10^2^2 \times(4.28\times10^8)^2\times2\times3.14}{2496960} \\\\L = 4.389.5 \times 10^3^4kgm^2/s

An airplane flies at 40 m/s at an altitude of 50 meters. The pilot drops a heavy package which falls to the ground. Where, appro
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

128 m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Horizontal velocity (u) = 40 m/s

Height (h) = 50 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Horizontal distance (s) =?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the package to get to the ground.

This can be obtained as follow:

Height (h) = 50 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

50 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

50 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 50 / 4.9

t² = 10.2

Take the square root of both side

t = √10.2

t = 3.2 s

Finally, we shall determine where the package lands by calculating the horizontal distance travelled by the package after being dropped from the plane. This can be obtained as follow:

Horizontal velocity (u) = 40 m/s

Time (t) = 3.2 s

Horizontal distance (s) =?

s = ut

s = 40 × 3.2

s = 128 m

Therefore, the package will land at 128 m relative to the plane
