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

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

The steps are outlined in the explanation below.

Explanation:

The average velocity is derived midpoint from the initial to the final velocity. Here is the proof:

Find the total displacement:

let the displacement be given by the letter s

Then since the average velocity is defined as:  v_{av}  = \frac{x - x_{0} }{t - t_{0} }

where t = final time

           t₀ = initial time

           v = final speed

           v₀ = initial time

where x denotes the position, then

v_{ave} = \frac{v+v_{0} }{2}

where v = \frac{dx}{dt} and dx = change in distance with respect to time.
