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

Can anyone tell me how to read a micrometer screw gauge I want very clear instructions.

Natalka [10]

Explanation:

Things you need to know:

Accuracy refers to the maximum error encountered when a particular observation is made.

Error in measurement is normally one-half the magnitude of the smallest scale reading.

Because one has to align one end of the rule or device to the starting point of the measurement, the appropriate error is thus twice that of the smallest scale reading.

Error is usually expressed in at most 1 or 2 significant figures.

Tape

Equipment: It is made up of a long flexible tape and can measure objects or places up to 10 – 50 m in length. It has markings similar to that of the rigid rule. The smallest marking could be as small as 0.1 cm or could be as large as 0.5 cm or even 1 cm.

How to use: The zero-mark of the measuring tape is first aligned flat to one end of the object and the tape is stretched taut to the other end, the reading is taken where the other end of the object meets the tape.

Ruler

Equipment: It is made up of a long rigid piece of wood or steel and can measure objects up to 100 cm in length. The smallest marking is usually 0.1 cm.

How to use: The zero-end of the rule is first aligned flat with one end of the object and the reading is taken where the other end of the object meets the rule.

Vernier Caliper

Equipment: It is made up of a main scale and a vernier scale and can usually measure objects up to 15 cm in length. The smallest marking is usually 0.1 cm on the main scale.

It has:

a pair of external jaws to measure external diameters

a pair of internal jaws to measure internal diameters

a long rod to measure depths

How to use: The jaws are first closed to find any zero errors. The jaws are then opened to fit the object firmly and the reading is then taken.

Micrometer Screw Gauge

Equipment: It is made up of a main scale and a thimble scale and can measure objects up to 5 cm in length. The smallest marking is usually 1 mm on the main scale (sleeve) and 0.01 mm on the thimble scale (thimble). The thimble has a total of 50 markings representing 0.50 mm.

It has:

an anvil and a spindle to hold the object

a ratchet on the thimble for accurate tightening (prevent over-tightening)

How to use: The spindle is first closed on the anvil to find any zero errors ( use the ratchet for careful tightening). The spindle is then opened to fit the object firmly (use the ratchet for careful tightening) and the reading is then taken.

What is the acceleration of a 1000 kg car subject to a 550 N net force

Xelga [282]

Answer:

The acceleration of a 1000 kg car subject to a 550 N net force = 0.55 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given:

F = 550 N

m = 1000 kg

To Find:

a = ?

Solution:

So by the equation by Newton's 2nd Law of Motion,

F = m x a

550 N = 1000 kg x a

a = 550 N/ 1000 kg

a = 0.55 m/s^2

Therefore,

The acceleration of a 1000 kg car subject to a 550 N net force = 0.55 m/s^2

A string that passes over a pulley has a 0.341 kg mass attached to one end and a 0.625 kg mass attached to the other end. The pu

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The frictional torque is $\tau = 0.2505 \ N \cdot m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass attached to one end the string is $m_1 = 0.341 \ kg$

The mass attached to the other end of the string is $m_2 = 0.625 \ kg$

The radius of the disk is $r = 9.00 \ cm = 0.09 \ m$

At equilibrium the tension on the string due to the first mass is mathematically represented as

$T_1 = m_1 * g$

substituting values

$T_1 = 0.341 * 9.8$

$T_1 = 3.342 \ N$

At equilibrium the tension on the string due to the mass is mathematically represented as

$T_2 = m_2 * g$

$T_2 = 0.625 * 9.8$

$T_2 = 6.125 \ N$

The frictional torque that must be exerted is mathematically represented as

$\tau = (T_2 * r ) - (T_1 * r )$

substituting values

$\tau = ( 6.125 * 0.09 ) - (3.342 * 0.09 )$

$\tau = 0.2505 \ N \cdot m$

An object is thrown directly downward from the top of a very tall building. The speed of the object just as it is released is 17

Softa [21]

Answer:

distance cover is = 102.53 m

Explanation:

Given data:

speed of object is 17.1 m/s

$t_1 = 3.32 sec$

$t_2 = 5.08 sec$

from equation of motion we know that

$d_1 = vt_1 + \frac{1}{2} gt_1^2$

where d_1 is distance covered in time t1

so $d_1 = 17.1 \times 3.32 + \frac{1}{2} 9.8 \times 3.32^2$ =

$d_1 = 110.78 m$

$d_2 = vt_2 + \frac{1}{2} gt_2^2$

where d_2 is distance covered in time t2

$d_2 = 17.1 \times 5.08 + \frac{1}{2}\times9.8 \times 5.08^2$

$d_2 = 213.31 m$

distance cover is = 213.31 - 110.78 = 102.53 m
