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

Andrew is riding his bike is riding in a circle that has a radius of 10 m. He keeps
Dmitrij [34]

The acceleration that Andrew experience  during his ride is 3.6m/s²

The formula for calculating centripetal acceleration is expressed as:

a = v²/r

v is the speed

r is the radius

Given the following expression

v = 6m/s

r = 10m

Substitute the given parameters into the formula

a = 6²/10

a = 36/10

a = 3.6m/s²

Hence the acceleration that Andrew experience  during his ride is 3.6m/s²

alculate the kinetic energies of (a) a 2.00×103-kg automobile moving at 100.0 km/h; (b) an 80.0-kg runner sprinting at 10.0 m/s;
zzz [600]

Answer:

(a) 7.72×10⁵ J

(b) 4000 J

(c) 1.82×10⁻¹⁶ J

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy: This can be defined energy of a body due to its motion. The expression for kinetic energy is given as,

Ek = 1/2mv²................... Equation 1

Where Ek = Kinetic energy, m = mass, v = velocity

(a)

For a moving automobile,

Ek = 1/2mv².

Given: m = 2.0×10³ kg, v = 100 km/h = 100(1000/3600) m/s = 27.78 m/s

Substitute into equation 1

Ek = 1/2(2.0×10³)(27.78²)

Ek = 7.72×10⁵ J

(b)

For a sprinting runner,

Given: m = 80 kg, v = 10 m/s

Substitute into equation 1 above,

Ek = 1/2(80)(10²)

Ek = 40(100)

Ek = 4000 J

(c)

For a moving electron,

Given: m = 9.10×10⁻³¹ kg, v = 2.0×10⁷ m/s

Substitute into equation 1 above,

Ek = 1/2(9.10×10⁻³¹)(2.0×10⁷)²

Ek = 1.82×10⁻¹⁶ J

agasfer [191]

Answer: Highly-elliptical-earth-orbit (heo)

Explanation: Highly-elliptical-earth-orbit (heo) satellite system has unique properties

which is used by governments for spying and by scientific agencies for observing celestial bodies. It is an extremely elongated orbit that is useful for communication satellites which creates signals between a source transmitter and a receiver at different locations on earth. They are used by government for spying, scientific agencies for observing celestial bodies, for the internet and telephone communications.
