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 man can lift a mass of 200kg onThe surface of the earth. what is the amount of mass he can lift on the surface of the moon?
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

1,211.1 kg.

Explanation:

the force of gravity is less on the moon than on earth, so if the man can lift 200kg on earth, he could lift a greater amount on the moon because there is less resistance from gravity.

To know the amount of mass he can lift on the moon, we first need to know the amount of weight that is equivalent to those 200kg here on earth. This because the weight of the object is equal to the force that must be applied to lift it, and that force is applied by the man and it will be the same here and on the moon.

We calculate weight using the formula:

w=mg

where w is the weight of the object (the force with which the earth attracts the object) m is the mass and g the acceleration of gravity.

so

w=200g

for earth the acceleration due to gravity is:  g=9.81m/s^2

thus:

w=(200kg)(9.81m/s^2)\\w=1962N

now we use this value to calculate the mass he can lift on the moon, since for the moon g=1.62m/s^2.

we use the same equation, w =mg substituting w = 1962N and g=1.62m/s^2:

w=mg\\\\1962N=m(1.62m/s^2)\\\\m=\frac{1962N}{1.62m/s^2}\\\\ m=1,211.1kg

he can lift 1,211.1 kg.

You can also find the result using the approximate value of the acceleration of gravity on the moon as g/6, where g is the acceleration on earth.

You come across an open container which is filled with two liquids. Since the two liquids have different density there is a dist
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

526.57 Pa

Explanation:

P ( pressure at the bottom of the container) = 1.049 × 10^5 pa

Using the formula of pressure in an open liquid

Pw ( pressure due to water) = ρhg where ρ is density of water in kg/m³, h is the height in meters, and g is acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

Pw = 1000 × 9.81 ×0.209 = 2050.29 Pa

P( atmospheric pressure) = 1.013 × 10^5 Pa

Pl ( pressure due to the liquid) = ρ(density of the liquid) × h (depth of the liquid) × g

Subtract each of the pressure from the absolute pressure at the bottom

P(bottom) - atmospheric pressure

(1.049 × 10^5) - (1.013 × 10^5) = 0.036 × 10^5 = 3600 Pa

subtract pressure due to water from the remainder

3600 - 2050.29 = 1549.71 Pa

1549.71 =  ρ(density of the liquid) × h (depth of the liquid) × g

ρ (density of the liquid) = 1549.71 / (h × g) = 1549.71 / (0.3 × 9.81) =526.57 Pa

Person 1 moves an object 10 meters and exerts a force of 50N in 5 seconds. Person 2 moves an object 10 meters and exerts a force
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work is a force time the distance moved in the direction of that force, time is not a variable. Provided that the 50 N forces were applied in the same direction, the work done is identical. Assuming both applied force and direction of motion are horizontal W = Fd = 50(10) = 500J.

If the reason that one was slower is because the  second person applied his force at an angle, let's say 60° below the horizontal, then the work done by the second person is 50cos60(10) = 250 J

Time IS a consideration for Power, the RATE of doing work. Provided the force and motion are horizontal, the first person applied twice as much Power as the second person doing an identical amount of work in half the time.
