Answer:

21.85 C

Explanation:

mass of iron = 1.5 kg, initial temperature of iron, T1 = 500 C

mass of water = 20 kg, initial temperature of water, T2 = 18 C

let T be the equilibrium temperature.

Specific heat of iron = 449 J/kg C

specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg C

Use the principle of caloriemetry

heat lost by the hot body = heat gained by the cold body

mass of iron x specific heat of iron x decrease in temperature = mass of water  x specific heat of water x increase in temperature

1.5 x 449 x (500 - T) = 20 x 4186 x (T - 18)

336750 - 673.5 T = 83720 T - 1506960

1843710 = 84393.5 T

T = 21.85 C

Below is the data from a gas law experiment comparing the pressure and the volume of a gas at a given temperature.
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

The combined gas equation relates three variables pressure, temperature and volume when the number of moles is constant.

The equation is PV / T = constant. Which is valid for a fixed number of moles of the gas.

You can derive the combined gas equation from the combination of Bolye's law, Charles' law and Gay-Lussac's law, which needs some algebra.

Write the equation expressing the relationship "y varies directly as x." use k as the constant of proportionality.
Alexeev081 [22]

The equation expressing the statement "y varies directly as x"  is y=kx.

Explanation

The statement that y varies directly as x is analogous to saying that  the ratio of y to x is constant. In other words, when x increases, y likewise increases and that when x decreases, y decreases proportionally.

Mathematically, we express the relationship that the ration of y is to x is constant is expressed as; \frac{y}{x} =k where k is the constant of proportionality.

We can then solve the relationship for y to determine the correct form of the relationship as shown below,

\frac{y}{x} =k\\\rightarrow y=kx

It takes 52,000 Joules to heat a cup of coffee to boiling from room temperature. How long a piece of 20 cm wide Aluminum foil wo
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

L = 1.11 x 10^{6} m, is the length of piece of 20 cm wide Aluminum foil to make capacitor large enough to hold 52000 J of energy.

Explanation:

Solution:

Data Given:

Heat Energy = 52000 J

Dielectric Constant of the plastic Bag = 3.7 = K

Thickness = 2.6 x 10^{5} m =d

V = 610 volts

A = width x Length

width = 20 cm = 20 x 10^{-2} m

Length = ?

So,

we know that,

U = 1/2 C Δv^{2}

U = 52000 J

C = ?

V = 610 volts'

So,

U = 1/2 C Δv^{2}  

52000 J = (0.5) x (C) x (610^{2})

C = 0.28 F

And we also know that,

C = \frac{K*E*A}{d}

E = 8.85 x 10 ^{-12}

K = 3.7

A = 0.20 x L

d = 2.6 x 10^{5} m

Plugging in the values into the formula, we get:

0.28 = \frac{3.7 * 8.85 .10^{-12} * (0.20 . L) }{2.6 . 10^{5} }

Solving for L, we get:

L = 1.11 x 10^{6} m,

is the length of piece of 20 cm wide Aluminum foil to make capacitor large enough to hold 52000 J of energy.
