A piece of unknown metal with mass 68.6 g is heated to an initial temperature of 100 °C and dropped into 84 g of water (with an

initial temperature of 20 °C) in a calorimeter. The final temperature of the system is 52.1°C. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g*⁰C. What is the specific heat of the metal?

The piece of unknown metal is in thermal equilibrium with water such that Q of metal is equal to Q of the water. We write this equality as follows:

-Qm = Qw
Mass of metal (Cm)(ΔT) = Mass of water (Cw) (ΔT)

where C is the specific heat capacities of the materials.

We calculate as follows:

-(Mass of metal (Cm)(ΔT)) = Mass of water (Cw) (ΔT)
-68.6 (Cm)(52.1 - 100) = 42 (4.184) (52.1 - 20)
Cm = 1.717 -----> OPTION C

Answer:

Option (d)

Explanation:

Let c be the specific heat of the metal.

By use of principle of caloriemetry,

Heat lost by the hot body = Heat gained by the cold body

Heat lost by metal = Heat gained by water

mass of metal x specific heat of metal x fall in temperature of metal = mass of water x specific heat of water x rise in temperature of water

68.6 x c x (100 - 52.1) = 84 x 4.184 x (52.1 - 20)

3285.94 x c = 11281.7376

c = 3.433 J/g C

How much force is required to move a electron through an electric field with strength of 1.375 x 10^19 N/C?
Luda [366]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force required to move the electron through the given field is 2.203 N

Explanation:

Given;

The field strength of the electron, E = 1.375  x 10¹⁹ N/C

charge of electron, q = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

The magnitude of the force required to move the electron through the given field is calculated as follows;

F = Eq

F = (1.375  x 10¹⁹ N/C) (1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C)

F = 2.203 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the force required to move the electron through the given field is 2.203 N

A ball rolls forward in the grass slowing down as it rolls?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Yes it does, uh huh.  It slows down as it rolls.  That's a fact.

In order for the ball to roll forward, it has to push grass out of the way.  That takes energy.  To bend each blade of grass out of its way, the ball has to use a tiny bit of the kinetic energy that it has, so it gradually runs out of kinetic energy.  When its kinetic energy is all gone, it stops moving.
