A 500.0-g chunk of an unknown metal, which has been in boiling water for several minutes, is quickly dropped into an insulating

Styrofoam beaker containing 1.00 kg of water at room temperature (20.0∘C). After waiting and gently stirring for 5.00 minutes, you observe that the water’s temperature has reached a constant value of 20.0∘C.
(a) Assuming that the Styrofoam absorbs a negligibly small amount of heat and that no heat was lost to the surroundings, what is the specific heat of the metal?
(b) Which is more useful for storing thermal energy: this metal or an equal weight of water? Explain.
(c) If the heat absorbed by the Styrofoam actually is not negligible, how would the specific heat you calculated in part (a) be in error? Would it be too large, too small, or still correct? Explain.

Two balls, each with a mass of 0.890 kg, exert a gravitational force of 8.06 × 10−11 n on each other. how far apart are the ball
Bond [772]
This problem involves Newton's universal law of gravitation and the equation to follow would be.

F = GM₁M₂/r²  

Given: M₁ = 0.890 Kg;  M₂ = 0.890 Kg;  F = 8.06 x 10⁻¹¹ N; G = 6.673 X 10⁻¹¹ N m²/Kg²

Solving for distance r = ?

r = √GM₁M₂/F

r = √(6.673 x 10⁻¹¹ N m₂/Kg²)(0.890 Kg)(0.890 Kg)/ 8.06 x 10⁻¹¹ N

r = 0.81 m

What is the gravitational potential energy of a 3 kg ball kicked into the air at a height of 5 meters?
sladkih [1.3K]

formula for gravitational P.E =mgh

Solution:-mass=3kg height=5metre and gravity=9.8 or 10m/sec² so P.E=mgh , 3×9.8×5=147kgm²/sec²

A4) A straight wire that is 0.60 m long is carrying a current of 2.0 A. It is placed in a uniform magnetic field of strength 0.3
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

\theta=30^{\circ}

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of the wire, L = 0.6 m

Current flowing inside the wire, I = 2 A

Uniform magnetic field, B = 0.3 T

Force experienced by the wire in the magnetic field, F = 0.18 N

To find,

The angle made by the wire with the magnetic field.

Solve,

We know that the magnetic force acting on the wire inside the magnetic field is given by :

F=ILB\ sin\theta

sin\theta=\dfrac{F}{ILB}

sin\theta=\dfrac{0.18}{2\times 0.6\times 0.3}

\theta=30^{\circ}

Therefore, the wire makes an angle of 30 degrees with respect to magnetic field.
