Answer:

At 3.86K

Explanation:

The following data are obtained from a straight line graph of C/T plotted against T2, where C is the measured heat capacity and T is the temperature:

gradient = 0.0469 mJ mol−1 K−4 vertical intercept = 0.7 mJ mol−1 K−2

Since the graph of C/T against T2 is a straight line, the are related by the straight line equation: C /T =γ+AT². Multiplying by T, we get C =γT +AT³ The electronic contribution is linear in T, so it would be given by the first term: Ce =γT. The lattice (phonon) contribution is proportional to T³, so it would be the second term: Cph =AT³. When they become equal, we can solve these 2 equations for T. This gives: T = √γ A .

We can find γ and A from the graph. Returning to the straight line equation C /T =γ+AT². we can see that γ would be the vertical intercept, and A would be the gradient. These 2 values are given. Substituting, we f ind: T =

√0.7/ 0.0469 = 3.86K.

A 4 kg textbook sits on a desk. It is pushed horizontally with a 50 N applied force against a 15 N frictional force.

GarryVolchara [31]

a) See free-body diagram in attachment

b) The book is stationary in the vertical direction

c) The net horizontal force is 35 N in the forward direction

d) The net force on the book is 35 N in the forward horizontal direction

e) The acceleration is $8.75 m/s^2$ in the forward direction

Explanation:

The free-body diagram of a body represents all the forces acting on the body using arrows, where the length of each arrow is proportional to the magnitude of the force and points in the same direction.

From the diagram of this book, we see there are 4 forces acting on the book:

- The applied force, F = 50 N, pushing forward in the horizontal direction

- The frictional force, $F_f = 15 N$ , pulling backward in the horizontal direction (the frictional force always acts in the direction opposite to the motion)

- The weight of the book, $W=mg$ , where m is the mass of the book and $g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity, acting downward. We can calculate its magnitude using the mass of the book, m = 4 kg:

$W=(4)(9.8)=39.2 N$

- The normal reaction exerted by the desk on the book, N, acting upward, and balancing the weight of the book

The book is in equilibrium in the vertical direction, therefore there is no motion.

In fact, the magnitude of the normal reaction (N) exerted by the desk on the book is exactly equal to the weight of the book (W), so the equation of motion along the vertical direction is

$N-W=ma$
