Answer:

William Ferrel created a tide-prediction machine.

Explanation:

William Ferrel create a machine in late 19th century that was the best combination of mechanical parts and computer coding.
It was a mechanical analog computer that could predict the ebb of tides and even the height of tides that could be irregular.
It was widely used for marine networks and navigation. Later on many improvisations and additional features were added on it.
During the world war times, this tide prediction machine was of great use for military purpose.

Answer:

The minimum total speed is 11.2km/s

Explanation:

We are been asked to find the escape velocity.

Escape velocity is defined as the minimum initial velocity that will take a body(projectile)away above the surface of a planet(earth) when it's projected vertically upwards.

The formula to calculate the escape velocity is Ve = √2gR

For the earth g = 9.8m/s2 , R = 6.4*10^6

Substituting into the equation Ve = √2*9.8*6.4*10^6 = 11.2*10^3m/s

=11.2km/s

An unknown mass of each substance, initially at 25.0 ∘C, absorbs 1920 J of heat. The final temperature is recorded. Find the mas

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer: mass for Pyrex glass 84.21g

mass for sand 61.6g

mass for ethanol 41.32g

mass for water 62.07g

Explanation

By definition specific heat is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of 1 kg mas by 1°C

Q=mcΔT is formula for specific heat

Q is heat transfer

m is mass

ΔT is change in temperature

c is specific heat

c of Pyrex glass= 0.75 j/g°C

c of sand = 0.84 j/g°C

c of ethanol= 2.42 j/g°C

c of water = 4.18 j/g°C

now we will make M(mass) the subject, so equation becomes

m=Q/cΔT

for

pyrex glass Tf=55.4°C

m=1920/(55.4-25)*0.75

m=84.21g {after cutting J(joules) and °C we are left with g(grams)}

for

sand Tf=62.1°C

m=1920/(62.1-25)*0.84

m=61.6g {after cutting J(joules) and °C we are left with g(grams)}

for

ethanol Tf=44.2°C

m=1920/(44.2-25)*2.42

m=41.32g {after cutting J(joules) and °C we are left with g(grams)}

for

water Tf=32.4°

m=1920/(32.4-25)*4.18

m=62.07g {after cutting J(joules) and °C we are left with g(grams)}

i hope you understand the solution, thank you.
