To calibrate the calorimeter electrically, a constant voltage of 3.6 V is applied and a current of 2.6 A flows for a period of 3

50 seconds. If the temperature rises from 20.3°C to 29.1°C, what is the heat capacity of the calorimeter?

Answer:

372.3 J/^{\circ}C

Explanation:

First of all, we need to calculate the total energy supplied to the calorimeter.

We know that:

V = 3.6 V is the voltage applied

I = 2.6 A is the current

So, the power delivered is

P=VI=(3.6)(2.6)=9.36 W

Then, this power is delivered for a time of

t = 350 s

Therefore, the energy supplied is

E=Pt=(9.36)(350)=3276 J

Finally, the change in temperature of an object is related to the energy supplied by

E=C\Delta T

where in this problem:

E = 3276 J is the energy supplied

C is the heat capacity of the object

\Delta T =29.1^{\circ}-20.3^{\circ}=8.8^{\circ}C is the change in temperature

Solving for C, we find:

C=\frac{E}{\Delta T}=\frac{3276}{8.8}=372.3 J/^{\circ}C

A 50-g cube of ice, initially at 0.0°C, is dropped into 200 g of water in an 80-g aluminum container, both initially at 30°C.
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

b. 9.5°C

Explanation:

m_i = Mass of ice = 50 g

T_i = Initial temperature of water and Aluminum = 30°C

L_f = Latent heat of fusion = 3.33\times 10^5\ J/kg^{\circ}C

m_w = Mass of water = 200 g

c_w = Specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg⋅°C

m_{Al} = Mass of Aluminum = 80 g

c_{Al} = Specific heat of Aluminum = 900 J/kg⋅°C

The equation of the system's heat exchange is given by

m_i(L_f+c_wT)+m_wc_w(T-T_i)+m_{Al}c_{Al}=0\\\Rightarrow 0.05\times (3.33\times 10^5+4186\times T)+0.2\times 4186(T-30)+0.08\times 900(T-30)=0\\\Rightarrow 1118.5T-10626=0\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{10626}{1118.5}\\\Rightarrow T=9.50022\ ^{\circ}C

The final equilibrium temperature is 9.50022°C

Compare the planets Mars and Saturn. Describe how their common characteristics are similar and Compare the planets Earth and Nep
nordsb [41]

Question no. 1. Compare the planets Mars and Saturn. Describe how their common characteristics are similar:

Answer:  Our solar system is located in the outer spiral arm of the milky way galaxy. our solar system has one sun and nine revolving planets and . namely  

  1. Mercury
  2. Venus
  3. Earth
  4. Mars
  5. Jupiter
  6. Saturn
  7. Uranus
  8. Neptune
  9. Pluto (small planet usually refer as dwarf)

Each star has its on moon/moons and has its own characteristics i.e , planet must be a celestial body , must have orbit around sun, have enough mass for self gravity, big enough to have gravity that clear its path from other same size object close to its orbit around sun.

Mars is the fourth from the sun and sixth is the Saturn from the sun in our solar system.

<u>Common in Characteristics of Mars and Saturn:</u>

  • Mars and Saturn both have celestial body.
  • Mars and Saturn both have enough mass for the gravity to get rid of rigid body forces.
  • Mars and Saturn both revolve around the sun in their own orbits.
  • Mars is the second smallest in the solar system while Saturn is second largest in the solar system.
  • Mars and Saturn both have their own moons. Mars has two while Saturn has 83 moons
  • Mars and Neptune both do not support life.    

Question no. 2. Compare the planets Earth and Neptune. Describe how are they different from each other

Answer:

Earth our home planet is the third from the sun and Neptune on the other hand is the eighth from the sun in the solar system.

<u>Common differences between Earth and Neptune</u>

  • Earth is the terrestrial planet while Neptune (Ice giant) is the Jovian planet.
  • Earth has no ring around it, Neptune has ring around it.
  • Earth is closer to the sun and Neptune is far distant from the sun.
  • Earth consists of rocks and metals on the other hand Neptune contain gases
  • Earth is smaller than the Neptune in the solar system.
  • Earth rotates slower and Neptune rotates faster.

A girl is sitting in a sled sliding horizontally along some snow (there is friction present).
Over [174]

Answer:

159 N

Explanation:

The force of friction, Fr is a product of coefficient of feiction and the normal force. Therefore, Fr=uN where N is the normal force and u is coefficient of friction. Here, we have two coefficients of friction but since it is sliding, then we use coefficient of kinetic energy. Substituting 0.25 for u and 636 N for N then

Fr=0.25*636=159 N

Therefore, the force of friction is equivalent to 159 N
