A potato and raisins salad has been warmed up to a temperature of 80∘C80∘C and let it stand for three minutes. Then one tries a

bite.
Would the potatoes and raisins be equally warm? Potatoes have a specific heat of 3430 J/(kg⋅∘C)3430 J/(kg⋅∘C). Raisins have a specific heat of 1630 J/(kg⋅∘C)1630 J/(kg⋅∘C).

a) No. Potatoes will be warmer.

b) No. Raisins will be warmer.

c) Yes

Answer : The correct option is, (a) No. Potatoes will be warmer.

Explanation :

Formula used :

$Q=m\times c\times \Delta T$

where,

Q = heat taken

m = mass of substance

c = specific heat of substance = ?

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature

As we are given that the potatoes have a specific heat of $3430J/(kg^oC)$ and raisins have a specific heat of $1630J/(kg^oC)$ . That means higher the value of specific heat the more heat taken by the substance (more warmer will be the substance). So, the potatoes will be more warmer as compared to raisins.

Hence, the correct option is, (a) No. Potatoes will be warmer.

Two streams merge to form a river. One stream has a width of 8.3 m, depth of 3.2 m, and current speed of 2.2 m/s. The other stre

Answer:

The depth of the resulting stream is 3.8 meters.

Explanation:

Under the assumption that streams are formed by incompressible fluids, so that volume flow can observed conservation:

$\dot V_{1} + \dot V_{2} = \dot V_{3}$ (1)

All volume flows are measured in cubic meters per second.

Dimensionally speaking, we can determine the depth of the resulting stream ( $h_{3}$ ), in meters, by expanding (1) in this manner:

$w_{1}\cdot h_{1}\cdot v_{1} + w_{2}\cdot h_{2}\cdot v_{2} = w_{3}\cdot h_{3}\cdot v_{3}$

$h_{3} = \frac{w_{1}\cdot h_{1}\cdot v_{1}+w_{2}\cdot h_{2}\cdot v_{2}}{w_{3}\cdot v_{3}}$ (2)

$v_{1}, v_{2}$ - Speed of the merging streams, in meters per second.

$h_{1}, h_{2}$ - Depth of the merging streams, in meters.

$w_{1}, w_{2}$ - Width of the merging streams, in meters.

$w_{3}$ - Width of the resulting stream, in meters.

$v_{3}$ - Speed of the resulting stream, in meters per second.

If we know that $w_{1} = 8.3\,m$ , $h_{1} = 3.2\,m$ , $v_{1} = 2.2\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $w_{2} = 6.8\,m$ , $h_{2} = 3.2\,m$ , $v_{2} = 2.4\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $w_{3} = 10.4\,m$ and $v_{3} = 2.8\,\frac{m}{s}$ , then the depth of the resulting stream is:

$h_{3} = \frac{(8.3\,m)\cdot (3.2\,m)\cdot \left(2.2\,\frac{m}{s} \right) + (6.8\,m)\cdot (3.2\,m)\cdot \left(2.4\,\frac{m}{s} \right)}{(10.4\,m)\cdot \left(2.8\,\frac{m}{s} \right)}$

$h_{3} = 3.8\,m$

The depth of the resulting stream is 3.8 meters.

You place a box weighing 289.9 N on an inclined plane that makes a 35.9 degree angle with the horizontal. Compute the component

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Fgparallel = 170N

Explanation:

Acting down the incline would be the paralell force. The Force of gravity on an incline for the parallel portion is mgsinθ.

Fg parallel = mgsinθ

mg is 289.9, as that is the weight. θ is 35.9

Fgpar = 289.9sin35.9

Fgparallel = 170N
