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.

A 5.6 cm diameter parallel-plate capacitor has a 0.58 mm gap. What is the displacement current in the capacitor if the potential
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

1.88\cdot 10^{-5} A

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by:

C=\frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d} (1)

where

\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

A is the area of the plates

d is the separation between the plates

The charge stored on the capacitor is given by

Q=CV (2)

where C is the capacitance and V is the voltage across the capacitor.

The displacement current in the capacitor is given by

J=\frac{Q}{t} (3)

where t is the time elapsed

Substituting (1) and (2) into (3), we find an expression for the displacement current:

J=\frac{CV}{t}=\frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d} \frac{V}{t}

where we have

A=\pi (\frac{d}{2})^2=\pi (\frac{0.056 m}{2})^2=2.46\cdot 10^{-3} m^2

d = 0.58 mm = 5.8\cdot 10^{-4} m

\frac{V}{t}=500,000 V/s

Substituting into the equation, we find

J=\frac{(8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m)(2.46\cdot 10^{-3} m^2)}{5.8\cdot 10^{-4}m}(500,000 V/s)=1.88\cdot 10^{-5} A

A 5.0 kg box slides down a 4.0 m long ramp that makes a 25 angle with the ground. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.65
Sedaia [141]

The thermal energy was produced is 116J

<h3>What is the thermal energy produced?</h3>

Now we know that the frictional force produces the energy that is lost as heat as the body slides down the incline. The magnitude of the frictional force is obtained from;

Ff= μmgcosθ

Ff =  0.65 *  5.0 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * cos 25

Ff = 29 N

Hence, the thermal energy is;

29 N * 4.0 m = 116J

A 615 N student standing on a scale in an elevator notices that the scale reads 645 N. From this information, the student knows
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

The elevator must be moving upward.

Explanation:

During the motion of an elevator, the weight of the person deviates from his or her actual weight. This temporary weight during the motion is referred to as "Apparent Weight". So, when the elevator is moving downward, the apparent weight of the person becomes less than his or her actual weight.

On the other hand, for the upward motion of the elevator, the apparent weight of the person becomes more than the actual weight of that person.

Since the apparent weight (645 N) of the student, in this case, is greater than the actual weight (615 N) of the student.

<u>Therefore, the elevator must be moving upward.</u>
