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 thin, rectangular sheet of metal has mass M and sides of length a and b. Find the moment of inertia of this sheet about an axi
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The moment of inertia is I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}

Explanation:

The moment of inertia is equal:

I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2} } \, dm

If r is -\frac{a}{2}

and dm=\frac{M}{a} dr

I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2}\frac{M}{a}  } \, dr\\a=\frac{a}{2} \\b=-\frac{a}{2}

I=\frac{M}{a} \int\limits^a_b {r^{2}  } \, dr\\\\I=\frac{M}{a} (\frac{M}{3} )_{b}^{a}\\  I=\frac{M}{3a} (\frac{a^{3} }{8} +\frac{a^{3} }{8} )\\I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}

A 0.03 kg golf ball is hit off the tee at a speed of 34 m/s. The golf club was in contact with the ball for 0.003 s. What is the
Liula [17]

Answer:

The average force on ball by the golf club is 340 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the golf ball, m = 0.03 kg

Initial speed of the ball, u = 0

Final speed of the ball, v = 34 m/s

Time of contact, \Delta t=0.003\ s

We need to find the average force on ball by the golf club. We know that the rate of change of momentum is equal to the net external force applied such that :

F=\dfrac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}\\\\F=\dfrac{mv-mu}{\Delta t}\\\\F=\dfrac{mv}{\Delta t}\\\\F=\dfrac{0.03\ kg\times 34\ m/s}{0.003\ s}\\\\F=340\ N

So, the average force on ball by the golf club is 340 N.

do constructive inference occur when the compression of one wave meets up with the compression of a second wave
Ugo [173]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

There are two types of interference possible when two waves meet at the same point:

- Constructive interference: this occurs when the two waves meet in phase, i.e. the crest (or the compression, in case of a longitudinale wave) meets with the crest (compression) of the other wave. In such a case, the amplitude of the resultant wave is twice that of the original wave.

- Destructive interferece: this occurs when the two waves meet in anti-phase, i.e. the crest (or the compression, in case of a longitudinal wave) meets with the trough (rarefaction) of the other wave. In this case, the amplitude of the resultant wave is zero, since the amplitudes of the two waves cancel out.

In this problem, we have a situation where the compression of one wave meets with the compression of the second wave, so we have constructive interference.
