I believe the answer that you're looking for is temperature probe. As you raise the heat of the metal cylinder by a specific, measured number of degrees Celsius, you also record the amount of energy put out by the heat source. Specific heat of a substance is equal to the amount of energy or heat needed to raise a substance by one degree Celsius. Use the equation Q=cmΔT, where Q is heat/energy added, c is the specific heat, m is the mass of the cylinder, and ΔT is the change in temperature of the cylinder.

Resistance increases with the length of the wire
Marta_Voda [28]
If the length of the wire increases, then the amount of resistance will also increase.

1. Take a long piece of wire and cut it 10 pieces. Those pieces should all be different sizes, one should be 5___ (units in meter, cm, inches, etc.), and the next should be 5 ___ (units in meter, cm, inches, etc.) more than the one before.
2. Take one piece of wire and measure the resistance using ___ and record the results in the data table.
3. Repeat the previous step with all the pieces of wire.
4. Compare and contrast the results you have found.

I hope this helps a bit :)

Density of copper is 8.96 g/cm3and density of zinc is 7.14 g/cm3. Brass is an alloy made of copper and zinc. You are given a sam
kvasek [131]

Answer:

The material cost for making one ton of the brass sample that I have is $8149.04.

Explanation:

Density of copper = 8.96 g/cm^3 = 8.96×10^-3 kg/cm^3

Price of copper = $6.13/kg

Price of copper per volume = 8.96×10^-3 kg/cm^3 × $6.13/kg = $0.0549/cm^3

Density of zinc = 7.14 g/cm^3 = 7.14×10^-3 kg/cm^3

Price of zinc = $1.8/kg

Price of zinc per volume = 7.14×10^-3 kg/cm^3 × $1.8/kg = $0.0129/cm^3

Price of brass per volume = 0.0549 + 0.0129 = $0.0678/cm^3

Density of brass I have is 8.32 g/cm^3 = 8.32 g/cm^3 × 1 kg/1000 g × 1 ton/1000 kg = 8.32×10^-6 ton/cm^3

Price = $0.0678/cm^3 ÷ 8.32×10^-6 ton/cm^3 = $8149.04/ton

What is the displacement current in the capacitor if the potential difference across the capacitor is increasing at 500
padilas [110]

Answer:

I = 1.21x10^-5 A

Explanation:

You are missing the first part of the problem. This is an example, but it will give you the idea of how to solve yours with your data.

The first part is like this:

<em>A      4.0 cm  diameter parallel plate capacitor has a  0.44 m  m    gap. What is the displacement current in the capacitor if the potential difference across the capacitor is increasing at 500,000 V/s?</em>

Now with this, we can solve the problem.

In order to do this, we need to use the following expression:

q = CV (1)

Where:

C: Capacitance of a parellel capacitor (in Faraday)

q: charge of plate or capacitor (In coulombs)

V: voltage in Volts.

However, we need is the current, and we have data of potential difference, so, all we have to do is divide the expression between time so:

q/t = CV/t

And the current is q/t, thus:

I = C * V/t (2)

And finally, Capacitance C with two plates of area A separated by a distance d is:

C = Eo*A/d (3)

Where:

Eo = constant equals to 8.85x10^-12 F/m.

A = Area of the plate, in this case, πr²

d = gap of the capacitor.

Let's calculate first the Capacitance using equation (3):

C = 8.85x10^-12 * π * (0.04/2)² / 0.00046 = 2.42x10^-11 F

Now, it's time to use equation (2) and solve for I:

I = 2.42x10^-11 * 500,000

I = 1.21x10^-5 A

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
