The temperature of a 2.0 kg block increases by 5 0c when 2,000 j of thermal energy are added to the block. What is the block's s

pecific heat?

Mass of the block = 2 kg

Temperature is increased by ΔT = 50 °C

Energy consumed by the block in raising the temperature = 2000 Joules

Let the specific heat capacity of the block be "c".

Formula to be used:

Heat gained = m × c × ΔT

Plugging the values:

2000 = 2 × c × 50

$c = \frac{2000}{2\times 50}$

c = 20 J/ kg °C

Hence, the specific heat capacity of the block is: 20 J/ kg °C

Stop to Think 7.1 Which one is greater- the attraction of the Earth on 1 kg lead or the attraction of 1 kg of led

Daniel [21]

Answer:

1 kg lead to earth is greater attraction as mass of earth is much more than 1kg lead.

Explanation:

Objects with more mass have more gravity. Gravity also gets weaker with distance. So, the closer objects are to each other, the stronger their gravitational pull is. Earth's gravity comes from all its mass

What percentage of the takeoff velocity did the plane gain when it reached the midpoint of the runway? a plane accelerates from

ElenaW [278]

When is at the end of the runway the velocity of the plane is given by the equation $vf^{2}=0+2*a*s$ where s=1800 m is the runway length. Thus
$vf^{2}=2*5*1800=18000 (m/s)^{2}$
$vf =134.164 (m/s)$

At half runway the velocity of the plane is
$v^{2}=2*5* \frac{1800}{2}=9000 ( \frac{m}{s} )^{2}
$
$v= \sqrt{9000}=94.87 ( \frac{m}{s})$

Therefore at midpoint of runway the percentage of takeoff velocity is
‰ $P= \frac{v}{vf}= \frac{94.87}{134.164}=0.707$

The a992 steel rod bc has a diameter of 50 mm and is used as a strut to support the beam. determine the maximum intensity w of t

EastWind [94]

Answer:

w = 11.211 KN/m

Explanation:

Given:

diameter, d = 50 mm

F.S = 2

L = 3

Due to symmetry, we have:

$Ay = By = \frac{w * 6}{2} = 3w$

$P_c_r = 3w * F.S = 3w * 2.0 = 6w$

$I = \frac{\pi}{64} (0.05)^4 = 3.067*10^-^7$

To find the maximum intensity, w, let's take the Pcr formula, we have:

$P_c_r = \frac{\pi^2 E I}{(KL)^2}$

Let's take k = 1

$E = 200*10^9$

Substituting figures, we have:

$6w = \frac{\pi^2 * 200*10^9 * 3.067*10^-^7}{(1 * 3)^2}$

Solving for w, we have:

$w = \frac{67266.84}{6}$

w = 11211.14 N/m = 11.211 KN/m

Since Area, A= pi * (0.05)²

$\sigma _c_r = \frac{w}{A}$

$\sigma _c_r = \frac{11.211}{\pi (0.05)^2} = 1.4 MPA < \sigma y$ . This means it is safe

The maximum intensity w = 11.211KN/m

A uniform solid sphere has a moment of inertia I about an axis tangent to its surface. What is the moment of inertia of this sph

arsen [322]

Answer:

option E

Explanation:

given,

I is moment of inertia about an axis tangent to its surface.

moment of inertia about the center of mass

$I_{CM} = \dfrac{2}{5}mR^2$ .....(1)

now, moment of inertia about tangent

$I= \dfrac{2}{5}mR^2 + mR^2$

$I= \dfrac{7}{5}mR^2$ ...........(2)

dividing equation (1)/(2)

$\dfrac{I_{CM}}{I}= \dfrac{\dfrac{2}{5}mR^2}{\dfrac{7}{5}mR^2}$

$\dfrac{I_{CM}}{I}=\dfrac{2}{7}$

$I_{CM}=\dfrac{2}{7}I$

the correct answer is option E
