Explanation:

As it is given that hot pan of copper is dropped into a tub of hot water and the temperature of water rises. This means that heat from the pan has been released and this heat is gained by water.

As a result, temperature of copper pan has decreased and this decrease will continue till the time temperature of both copper pan and water will reach the same temperature.

As thermal energy is defined as the energy in which when two objects come in physical contact with each other then no exchange of heat energy will take place.

Thus, we can conclude that when temperature of both copper pan and water will be equal then it means that both of them has reached thermal equilibrium.

Answer:

  • Thus the overall temperature of the water increases and the temperature of the pan decreases if the water is less hotter than the pan and vice-versa if the water is hotter than the pan.

m_c.c_c.(T_f-T_{ic})=m_w.c_w.(T_f-T_{iw})

Explanation:

  • Thus the overall temperature of the water increases and the temperature of the pan decreases if the water is less hotter than the pan.

When a hot copper pan is dropped into a tub of hot water then the water temperature further rises until it reaches the boiling point (ideally).

But what happens practically is as if the pan is too hot and comes in contact with the hot water suddenly then the water molecules near to it firstly gain the heat from it and if their rate of heat absorption is faster then they convert into steam and the bubble is observed in the tub water which may rise up but due to relatively cooler water in contact it condensed back within the liquid. Only the surface water open to atmosphere may directly vaporize.

  • When the water is hotter than the pan then the pan will absorb the heat to increase its temperature and the water will cool down.

When the water and copper pan reach the thermal equilibrium can be precisely known only by the calculation where the following quantities must be known:

(heat lost by one body is the heat gained by the other body)

  • Heat transfer through copper = Heat transfer through water

Q_c=Q_w

m_c.c_c.(T_f-T_{ic})=m_w.c_w.(T_f-T_{iw})

where:

T_f= final temperature of the system

m_c\ \&\ m_w= mass of copper and water respectively

c_c\ \&\ c_w= specific heat of copper and water respectively

T_{ic}\ \&\ T_{iw}= initial temperature of copper and water respectively

Two narrow, parallel slits separated by 0.850 mm are illuminated by 600-nm light, and the viewing screen is 2.80 m away from the
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

a) 7.947 radians

b) \mathbf{\frac{I}{I_{max}}=0.4535}

Explanation:

y = Distance from central bright fringe = 2.5 mm

λ = Wavelength = 600 nm

L = Distance between screen and source = 2.8 m

d = Slit distance = 0.85 mm

tan\theta =\frac{y}{L}\\\Rightarrow tan\theta =\frac{2.5}{2800}=0.000892\\\Rightarrow \theta=tan^{-1}0.000892=0.05115^{\circ}

\Delta r= dsin\theta\Rightarrow \Delta r=dsin0.05115=7.589\times10^{-7}

a) Phase difference

\phi=\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}\Delta r\\\Rightarrow \phi=\frac{2\pi}{600\times 10^{-9}}7.589\times10^{-7}=7.947\ rad

∴ Phase difference between the two interfering waves on a screen at a point 2.50 mm from the central bright fringe is 7.947 radians

b) \frac{I}{I_{max}}=cos^2\frac{\phi}{2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{I}{I_{max}}=cos^2\frac{7.947}{2}\\\Rightarrow \mathbf{\frac{I}{I_{max}}=0.4535}

∴ Ratio of the intensity at this point to the intensity at the center of a bright fringe \mathbf{\frac{I}{I_{max}}=0.4535}

2. A 4.0 kg magnetic toy car traveling at 3.0 m/s east collides and sticks to a 5.0 kg toy magnetic car also traveling at 2.0 m/
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

2.44 m/s due East

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of 1st car (m₁) = 4 Kg

Velocity of 1st car (u₁) = 3 m/s

Mass of 2nd car (m₂) = 5 Kg

Velocity of 2nd car (u₂) = 2 m/s

Final velocity (v) =?

The final velocity can be obtained as follow:

v(m₁ + m₂) = m₁u₁ + m₂u₂

v(4 + 5) = (4×3) + (5×2)

9v = 12 + 10

9v = 22

Divide both side by 9

v = 22/9

v = 2.44 m/s

Thus, the final velocity is 2.44 m/s.

Since both cars was moving due East before collision, and after collision, they stick together, then their direction will be due East.
