Answer:

Option C. 30°C.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of water (Mw) = 0.5 Kg

Specific heat capacity of water (Cw) = 4.18 KJ/Kg°C

Initial temperature of water (Tw1) =

22°C

Change in temperature (ΔT) = T2 – Tw1 = T2 – 22°C

Mass of copper (Mc) = 0.5 Kg

Specific heat capacity of copper (Cc) = 0.386 KJ/kg°C

Initial temperature of copper (Tc1) = 115°C

Change in temperature (ΔT) = T2 – Tc1 = T2 – 115°C

Final temperature (T2) =..?

Note: Both the water and the piece copper will have the same final temperature and the heat will be zero since the water will cool the piece of copper.

Thus, we can determine the final temperature of the water and copper as follow:

Q = MwCwΔT + McCcΔT

0 = 0.5 x 4.18 x (T2 – 22) + 0.5 x 0.386 x (T2 – 115)

0 = 2.09 (T2 – 22) + 0.193 (T2 – 115)

0 = 2.09T2 – 45.98 + 0.193T2 – 22.195

Collect like terms

2.09T2 + 0.193T2 = 45.98 + 22.195

2.283T2 = 68.175

Divide both side by the coefficient of T2 i.e 2.283

T2 = 68.175/2.283

T2 = 29.8 ≈ 30°C

Therefore, the final temperature of water and copper is 30°C.

What is Vatiable Velocity?​
Allushta [10]

Answer:

Explanation: When a body covers unequal distances in equal intervals of time in a specified direction, the body is said to be moving with a variable velocity. Example: A rotating fan at a constant speed has variable velocity, because of continuous change in direction.

A flea jumps straight up to a maximum height of 0.550 m . what is its initial velocity v0 as it leaves the ground?
Alexxx [7]
Since my givens are x = .550m [Vsub0] = unknown
 [Asubx] = =9.80
 
 [Vsubx]^2 = [Vsub0x]^2 + 2[Asubx] * (X-[Xsub0]

[Vsubx]^2 = [Vsub0x]^2 + 2[Asubx] * (X-[Xsub0]) 

Vsubx is the final velocity, which at the max height is 0, and Xsub0 is just 0 as that's where it starts so I just plug the rest in

0^2 = [Vsub0x]^2 + 2[-9.80]*(.550)

0 = [Vsub0x]^2 -10.78

10.78 = [Vsub0x]^2

Sqrt(10.78) = 3.28 m/s

Convert 5.5 kilometers into millimeters.​
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

5500000 millimeters

Explanation:

1 kilometre= 1000 meter

5.5 km=5.5 * 1000

=5500

Now,

1 metre = 1000 millimetres

5500 metre=1000*5500

=5500000 mm
