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

Complete Question

The complete question iws shown on the first uploaded image  

Answer:

a

    y \to z \to x

b

  x \to z \to y

Explanation:

Now looking at the diagram let take that the magnetic field is moving in the x-axis

 Now the magnetic force is mathematically represented as

             F =  I L x B

Note (The x is showing cross product )

Note the force(y-axis) is perpendicular to the field direction (x-axis)

Now when the loop is swinging forward

 The motion of the loop is  from   y to z to to x to y

Now since the force is perpendicular to the motion(velocity) of the loop

Hence the force would be from z to y and back to z  

and from lenze law the induce current opposes the force so the direction will be from y to z to x

Now when the loop is swinging backward

   The motion of the induced current will now be   x to z to y

A battery charger is connected to a dead battery and delivers a current of 8.9 A for 4.7 hours, keeping the voltage across the b
adell [148]

Answer:

1807.56 kJ

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Current, I = 8.9A

Time, t = 4.7hrs = 4.7 * 3600 = 16920 secs

Voltage, V = 12V

Electrical energy is given as:

E = I*V*t

Where I = Current

V = Voltage/Potential differenxe

t = time in seconds.

E = 8.9 * 12 * 16920

E = 1807056 J = 1807.056 kJ

S_A_V [24]

The speed of the stone is 7.7 m/s

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of a body is the energy possessed by the body due to its motion. Mathematically,

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the body

v is its speed

For the stone in this problem, we have:

K = 150 J is its kinetic energy

m = 5.0 kg is its mass

Re-arranging the equation for v, we find the speed of the stone:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(150)}{5.0}}=7.7 m/s
