Answer:

m_A c_{pA} (T_{fA} -T) = m_B c_{pB} (T_{fB}- T)

For this case, if we try to find the final temperature of A and B, we see that we will obtain an expression in terms of specific heats and masses, from the information given we know the relationship between specific heats, but we don't know the relationship that exists among the masses, then the best option for this case is:

d) More information is needed

(The relation between the masses is not given)

Explanation:

For this case we know the following info:

c_{pA} > c_{pB}

Where c means specific heat for the substance A and B.

We also know that the initial temperatures for both sustances are equal:

T_{iA}= T_{iB}

We assume that we don't have melting or vaporization in the 2 substances. So we just have presence of sensible heat given by this formula:

Q = m c_p \Delta T

And for this case we know that Both A and B are at the same initial temperature when equal amounts of energy are added to them, so then we have this:

Q_A = Q_B

And if we replace the formula for sensible heat we got:

m_A c_{pA} \Delta T_A = m_B c_{pB} \Delta T_B

And if we replace for the change of the temperature we got:

m_A c_{pA} (T_{fA} -T_{iA}) = m_B c_{pB} (T_{fB}- T_{iB})

And since T_{iA}= T_{iB}= T we have this:

m_A c_{pA} (T_{fA} -T) = m_B c_{pB} (T_{fB}- T)

For this case, if we try to find the final temperature of A and B, we see that we will obtain an expression in terms of specific heats and masses, from the information given we know the relationship between specific heats, but we don't know the relationship that exists among the masses, then the best option for this case is:

d) More information is needed

(The relation between the masses is not given)

A 95-kg astronaut is stranded from his space shuttle. He throws a 2-kg hammer away from the shuttle with a velocity of 19 m/s .
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

The astronaut will be propelled towards the shuttle at the rate of 0.4 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of  the astronaut, m₁ = 95 kg

mass of the hammer thrown, m₂ = 2 kg

velocity of the hammer, v₂ = 19 m/s

let the recoil velocity of the shuttle = v₁

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

v₁ = m₂v₂/m₁

v₁ = (2 x 19) / 95

v₁ = 0.4 m/s

Therefore, the astronaut will be propelled towards the shuttle at the rate of 0.4 m/s.

A runner generates 1260 W of thermal energy. If this heat has to be removed only by evaporation, how much water does this runner
sergey [27]

Answer:0.502kg

Explanation:

F4om the relation

Power x time = mass x latent heat of vapourization

P.t=ML

1260 * 15 *60 = M * 22.6 * 10^5

M= 1134000/(22.6 *10^5)

M=0.502kg=502g

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

It was generally believed that mountains were produced by vertical forces

Explanation:

                   The main view of the world worked geologically prior to the 1960s was that the mountains were formed by the vertical forces of nature.

                    The early people prior to 1960s believed in many different natural phenomenons and they give their own reasons for their occurrence. But later many researchers and geophysicists studied the formation of the earth and came with possible answers to these questions.

Thus the answer is  

" It was generally believed that mountains were produced by vertical forces."
