Answer:

m1/m2 = 0.51

Explanation:

First to all, let's gather the data. We know that both rods, have the same length. Now, the expression to use here is the following:

V = √F/u

This is the equation that describes the relation between speed of a pulse and a force exerted on it.

the value of "u" is:

u = m/L

Where m is the mass of the rod, and L the length.

Now, for the rod 1:

V1 = √F/u1 (1)

rod 2:

V2 = √F/u2 (2)

Now, let's express V1 in function of V2, because we know that V1 is 1.4 times the speed of rod 2, so, V1 = 1.4V2. Replacing in the equation (1) we have:

1.4V2 = √F/u1 (3)

Replacing (2) in (3):

1.4(√F/u2) = √F/u1 (4)

Now, let's solve the equation 4:

[1.4(√F/u2)]² = F/u1

1.96(F/u2) =F/u1

1.96F = F*u2/u1

1.96 = u2/u1 (5)

Now, replacing the expression of u into (5) we have the following:

1.96 = m2/L / m1/L

1.96 = m2/m1 (6)

But we need m1/m2 so:

1.96m1 = m2

m1/m2 = 1/1.96

m1/m2 = 0.51

Steam at 100°C is condensed into a 38.0 g aluminum calorimeter cup containing 280 g of water at 25.0°C. Determine the amount of
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

7.2g

Explanation:

From the expression of latent heat of steam, we have

Heat supplied by steam = Heat gain water + Heat gain by calorimeter

mathematically,

m_{s}c_{w} \alpha _{w} + m_{s}l=m_{w}c_{w} \alpha _{w} +m_{c}c_{c} \alpha c_{c}

L=specific latent heat of water(steam)=2268J/g

c_{w}=specific heat capacity=4.2J/gK

c_{c}=specific heat capacity of calorimeter =0.9J/gk

m_{w}=280g

m_{c}=38g

α=change in temperature

\alpha _{c}=(40-25)=15

\alpha _{w}=(40-25)=15

\alpha _{s}=(100-40)=60

Note: the temperature of the calorimeter is the temperature of it content.

From the equation, we can make m_{s} the subject of formula

m_{s}=\frac{m_{w}c_{w} \alpha +m_{c}c_{c}\alpha}{c_{w}\alpha +l}

Hence

m_{s}=\frac{(280*4.2*15) +(38*0.9*15)}{(4.2*60) +2268} \\m_{s}=\frac{18153}{2520}\\ m_{s}=7.2g

Hence the amount of steam needed is 7.2g

Explain what the star looks like to Jane
S_A_V [24]
The star looks like a desirable hunk of masculinity to Jane. But to John, the star looks like a wimpy momma's boy who might compete with him for Jane's attention. Jane and John have different impressions of the star because of their gender-specific instincts that have evolved during thousands of millenia of human evolution.

densk [106]

How To:

How do you add two vectors?  

To add or subtract two vectors, add or subtract the corresponding components. Let →u=⟨u1,u2⟩ and →v=⟨v1,v2⟩ be two vectors. The sum of two or more vectors is called the resultant. The resultant of two vectors can be found using either the parallelogram method or the triangle method .
