Answer:

c_u=1540.5J/kg^{\circ}K

Explanation:

We know that heat relates to mass, specific heat and variation of temperature experimented because of this heat through the equation Q=mc\Delta T=mc(T_f-T_i). The heat released by the unknown material is absorbed by water, so we have Q_u=-Q_w, and we can write:

m_uc_u(T_{uf}-T_{ui})=-m_wc_w(T_{wf}-T_{wi})

Since thermal equilibrium is reached we know that T_{cf}=T_{wf}=T_f=31^{\circ}C=304^{\circ}K, where we have added 273^{\circ} to convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin, as <em>we must do</em>. Since we want the specific heat of the unknown material, we do:

c_u=-\frac{m_wc_w(T_f-T_{wi})}{m_u(T_f-T_{ui})}

Which for our values is:

c_u=-\frac{(1.1kg)(4186J/kg^{\circ}K)((304^{\circ}K)-(294^{\circ}K))}{(0.49kg)((304^{\circ}K)-(365^{\circ}K))}=1540.5J/kg^{\circ}K

A 1022kg Caprice car stopped at an intersection is rear-ended by a 1620kg ranger truck moving with a speed of 14.5m/s. If the ca
Alika [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of car, m = 1022 kg

mass of truck, M = 1620 kg

initial velocity of truck, U = 14.5 m/s

initial velocity of car, u = 0 m/s

Let the final velocity of car is v and the final velocity of truck is V.

Collision is elastic, so the coefficient of restitution, e = 1

Use conservation of momentum

initial momentum of car + initial momentum of truck = final momentum of car + final momentum of truck

m x u + M x U = m x v + M x V

0 + 1620 x 14.5 = 1022 v + 1620 V

23490 = 1022 v + 1620 V ..... (1)

Use the formula of coefficient of restitution

e = \frac{V_{1}-V_{2}}{u_{2}-u_{1}}

1 (14.5 - 0) = v - V

14.5 = v - V

V = v - 14.5 .... (2)

Put in equation (1)

23490 = 1022 v + 1620 (v - 14.5)

23490 = 1022 v + 1620 v - 23490

46980 = 2642 v

v = 17.8 m/s

Put in equation (2)

V = 17.8 - 14.5

V = 3.3 m/s

Thus, the speed of car is 17.8 m/s and the velocity of truck is 3.3 m/s after collision.

Determine the slit width that produces a diffraction pattern with the 2nd dark fringe at 6.2mm from the central fringe. The scre
Elanso [62]

Answer:

d= 0.242 mm

Explanation:

Slit width (d ) = ?

Screen distance ( D ) = 1.25 m

Wave length of light λ = 600 nm

Distance of n the dark fringe from centre

= n λ D / d

Here n = 2

so

6.2\times10^{-3}=\frac{2\times600\times10^{-9}}{d}

d=\frac{1500\times10^{-6}}{6.2}

d= 0.242 mm
