The device shown below contains 2 kg of water. The cylinder is allowed to fall 800 m during which the temperature of the water i

ncreases by 2.4°C. Some amount of water is added to the container and the experiment is repeated. All other values remain constant. This time the temperature of the water increases by 1.2°C. How much water was added to the container?
A. 0.8 kg
B. 1 kg
C. 2 kg
D. 3.6 kg

Answer:

C. 2 kg

Explanation:

From the problem , it appears that due to fall by 800m (h )  , potential energy is converted into heat energy which increases the temperature of water . Let the mass of cylinder falling be M , h be the height

loss of potential energy = Mgh

heat generated = Mgh

let heat generated increases a temperature rise of Δt in the mass of water m

heat absorbed = msΔt , s is specific heat of water .

msΔt = Mgh

Δt = Mgh / ms

Δt = K / m ( M , g , h and s are constant in both the case)

For first case  ,

m = 2 kg and Δt  = 2.4

2.4 = K / 2

K = 4.8

For second case

Δt = K / m

1.2 = 4.8 / m

m = 4 kg

mass added = 4 - 2

= 2 kg .

Halley is standing outside on a cloudy day. When she hears thunder, she goes back inside so that she doesn't get caught in
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Inference

Explanation:

An inference involves the application of logic to progress from a premise to a conclusion or logical consequence on the basis of the evidence or known fact. Inference is a process of thought that be divided into a deduction and an induction aspect.

In the given question Halley, by standing outside was able to deduce the sound of thunder she is then able by inductive reasoning from the fact that storms are usually preceded by and accompany lightening, conclude that there is a storm coming.
