Why is the specific heat of salt solution lower than that of water?

Physics
1 answer:
Stells [14]3 years ago
3 0
When we dissolve NaCl in water, the ions are held in a rigid cage of water molecules. It takes less energy to activate these molecules, so the specific heat of the water decreases. The greater concentration of NaCl, the lower the specific heat capacity of the solution.

What is the direction of friction if a ball is rolling on the ground?
morpeh [17]
The direction is the same as the direction the ball is moving in. Because of the rolling of the ball, the direction of movement of the surface of the ball is opposite the overall direction of the ball. Since friction will oppose the direction of movement of the surface of the ball, it is in the same direction as the net direction of movement of the ball.

A motorcycle of mass 100 kilograms slowly rolls off the edge of a cliff and falls for three seconds before reaching the bottom o
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

C) 3,000 kg m/s

Explanation:

We can consider the horizontal velocity of the motorcycle to be zero, since it rolls off the edge of the cliff very slowly. So, we only need to find the vertical velocity at the time of the impact with the ground.

The vertical velocity of the motorcycle at time t is given by (free-fall motion):

v(t)=v_0 -gt

where

v_0=0 is the initial vertical velocity (zero, since the motorcycle is not moving)

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time

Since the motorcycle hits the ground after t = 3 seconds, we have

v(3 s)=0-(9.8 m/s^2)(3 s)=-29.4 m/s

And since we know its mass, m=100 kg, we can find its momentum:

p=mv=(100 kg)(-29.4 m/s)=-2940 kg m/s \cdot -3000 kg m/s

and the negative sign simply means downward direction.

If you were trying to build a soundproof room, which of the following materials would you choose in order to absorb the most sou
leonid [27]

Explanation :  

Absorption coefficient of a material determines how much sound is absorbed by the material.

To build a soundproof room, Heavy curtains and carpet can be used. They reduce reverberation.

Reverberation means an echoing sound which persists for some time. For example, when we bang on a huge piece of metal, we hear the reverberation even after we stop banging.  

Hence, option (A) and (D) are correct.

Consider a projectile of mass 20 kg launched with a speed 9 m/s at an elevation angle of 45 degrees. Taking the launch point as
viva [34]

Answer:

a) L=0. b) L = 262 k ^   Kg m²/s and c)  L = 1020.7 k^   kg m²/s

Explanation:

It is angular momentum given by

      L = r x p

Bold are vectors; where L is the angular momentum, r the position of the particle and p its linear momentum

One of the easiest ways to make this vector product is with the use of determinants

{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\x&y&z\\px&py&pz\end{array}\right]

Let's apply this relationship to our case

Let's start by breaking down the speed

      v₀ₓ = v₀ cosn 45

      voy =v₀ sin 45

      v₀ₓ = 9 cos 45

      voy = 9 without 45

      v₀ₓ = 6.36 m / s

      voy = 6.36 m / s

a) at launch point r = 0 whereby L = 0

. b) let's find the position for maximum height, we can use kinematics, at this point the vertical speed is zero

   vfy² = voy²- 2 g y

   y = voy² / 2g

   y = (6.36)²/2 9.8

   y = 2.06 m

Let's calculate the angular momentum

L= \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\x&y&0\\px&0&0\end{array}\right]

L = -px y k ^

L = - (m vox) (2.06) k ^

L = - 20 6.36 2.06 k ^

L = 262 k ^   Kg m² / s

The angular momentum is on the z axis

c) At the point of impact, at this point the height is zero and the position on the x-axis is the range

     R = vo² sin 2θ / g

     R = 9² sin (2 45) /9.8

     R = 8.26 m

L = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\x&0&0\\px&py&0\end{array}\right]

L = - x py k ^

L = - x m voy

L = - 8.26 20 6.36 k ^

L = 1020.7 k^   kg m² /s

A 73-kg Norwegian olympian ski champion is going down a hill sloped at 39 ◦ . The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sk
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

net force on the skier = mg sin 39 - μ mg cos39

mg ( sin39 - μ cos39 )

= 73 x 9.8 ( .629 - .116)

= 367 N

impulse = net force x time = change in momentum .

= 367 x 5 = 1835 kg m /s

velocity of the skier after 5 s = 1835 / 73

= 25.13 m /s

b )

net force becomes zero

mg ( sin39 - μ cos39 ) = 0

μ = tan39

= .81

c )

net force becomes zero , so he will continue to go ahead with constant speed of 25.13 m /s

so he will have speed of 25.13 m /s after 5 s .
