Answer:

599.5 m

Explanation:

The gain in gravitational potential energy of the man is given by:

\Delta U=mg\Delta h

where

m is the man's mass

g is the gravitational acceleration

\Delta h is the change in height of the hiket

In this problem, we have the following data:

U = 470,000 J

g = 9.8 m/s^2

m = 80 kg

Solving the formula for \Delta h, we find:

\Delta h = \frac{U}{mg}=\frac{470,000}{(80)(9.8)}=599.5 m

Solution A has a specific heat of 2.0 J/g◦C. Solution B has a specific heat of 3.8 J/g◦C. If equal masses of both solutions start
fgiga [73]

Answer: 2. Solution A attains a higher temperature.

Explanation: Specific heat simply means, that amount of heat which is when supplied to a unit mass of a substance will raise its temperature by 1°C.

In the given situation we have equal masses of two solutions A & B, out of which A has lower specific heat which means that a unit mass of solution A requires lesser energy to raise its temperature by 1°C than the solution B.

Since, the masses of both the solutions are same and equal heat is supplied to both, the proportional condition will follow.

<em>We have a formula for such condition,</em>

Q=m.c.\Delta T.....................................(1)

where:

  • \Delta T= temperature difference
  • Q= heat energy
  • m= mass of the body
  • c= specific heat of the body

<u>Proving mathematically:</u>

<em>According to the given conditions</em>

  • we have equal masses of two solutions A & B, i.e. m_A=m_B
  • equal heat is supplied to both the solutions, i.e. Q_A=Q_B
  • specific heat of solution A, c_{A}=2.0 J.g^{-1} .\degree C^{-1}
  • specific heat of solution B, c_{B}=3.8 J.g^{-1} .\degree C^{-1}
  • \Delta T_A & \Delta T_B are the change in temperatures of the respective solutions.

Now, putting the above values

Q_A=Q_B

m_A.c_A. \Delta T_A=m_B.c_B . \Delta T_B\\\\2.0\times \Delta T_A=3.8 \times \Delta T_B\\\\ \Delta T_A=\frac{3.8}{2.0}\times \Delta T_B\\\\\\\frac{\Delta T_{A}}{\Delta T_{B}} = \frac{3.8}{2.0}>1

Which proves that solution A attains a higher temperature than solution B.

A 55.0-g sample of hot metal initially at 99.5oC was added to 40.0 g of water in a Styrofoam coffee cup calorimeter. The water a
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Cp= 0.44 J/g.C

This is heat capacity of metal.

Explanation:

From energy conservation

Heat lost by metal = Heat gain by water +Heat gain by  calorimeter

Because here temperature of metal is high that is why it loose the heat.The temperature of water and  calorimeter is low that is why they gain the heat.

final temperature is T= 30.5 C

We know that sensible heat transfer given as

Q= m Cp ΔT

m=Mass

Cp=Specific heat capacity

ΔT=Temperature difference

By putting the values

55 x Cp ( 99.5 - 30.5) = 40 x 4.184 ( 30.5- 21 ) + 10 x ( 30.5 - 21)

Cp ( 99 .5- 30.5) = 30.65

Cp= 0.44 J/g.C

This is heat capacity of metal.

If a car accelerates from rest at a constant 4 m/s
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

The time it will take for the car to reach a velocity of 28 m/s is 7 seconds

Explanation:

The parameters of the car are;

The acceleration of the car, a = 4 m/s²

The final velocity of the car, v = 28 m/s

The initial velocity of the car, u = 0 m/s (The car starts from rest)

The kinematic equation that can be used for finding (the time) how long it will take for the car to reach a velocity of 28 m/s is given as follows;

v = u + a·t

Where;

v = The final velocity of the car, v = 28 m/s

u = The initial velocity of the car = 0 m/s

a = The acceleration of the car = 4 m/s²

t = =The time it will take for the car to reach a velocity of 28 m/s

Therefore, we get;

t = (v - u)/a

t = (28 m/s - 0 m/s)/(4 m/s²) = 7 s

The time it will take for the car to reach a velocity of 28 m/s, t = 7 seconds.
