A laboratory technician drops a 72.0 g sample of unknown solid material, at a temperature of 80.0°C, into a calorimeter. The cal

orimeter can, initially at 11.0°C, is made of 187 g of copper and contains 203 g of water. The final temperature of the calorimeter can and contents is 39.4°C. What is the specific heat of the unknown sample? Please give your answer in units of J/kg.°C.

Answer : The specific heat of unknown sample is, 8748.78J/kg^oC

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-[q_2+q_3]

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-[m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)+m_3\times c_3\times (T_f-T_2)]

where,

c_1 = specific heat of unknown sample = ?

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4186J/kg^oC

c_3 = specific heat of copper = 390J/kg^oC

m_1 = mass of unknown sample = 72.0 g  = 0.072 kg

m_2 = mass of water = 203 g  = 0.203 kg

m_2 = mass of copper = 187 g  = 0.187 kg

T_f = final temperature of calorimeter = 39.4^oC

T_1 = initial temperature of unknown sample = 80.0^oC

T_2 = initial temperature of water and copper = 11.0^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

0.072kg\times c_1\times (39.4-80.0)^oC=-[(0.203kg\times 4186J/kg^oC\times (39.4-11.0)^oC)+(0.187kg\times 390J/kg^oC\times (39.4-11.0)^oC)]

c_1=8748.78J/kg^oC

Therefore, the specific heat of unknown sample is, 8748.78J/kg^oC

Which of the following represents a fully plastic collision? 1. Two billiard balls hit each other then move in opposite directio
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Option (4)

Explanation:

There are two types of collision.

Perfectly elastic collision: the collision in which the momentum and kinetic energy is conserved. There is no loss of energy in other forms of energy.

Perfectly plastic collision: The collision in which the momentum is conserved and kinetic energy is not conserved. The two bodies stick after the collision.

Here, the bullet hits the block and then embedded in the block, it is the example of plastic collision.

A child approaches a stop sign and applies the brakes to slow to a stop. If the bicycle and child were originally traveling at 9
user100 [1]

Answer:

7.5secs

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion

v = u + at

v is the final velocity = 0m/s

u is the initial velocity = 9m/s

a is the deceleration = -1.2m/s²

t is the required time

Substitute;

0 = 9 + 1.2(t)

-9 = -1.2t

t = -9/-1.2

t = 7.5secs

hence it takes the child 7.5secs to stop
