Answer:

three times

Explanation:

Heat added is calculated according to the following equation

Q = mcΔT

where Q is the heat added

           c is the specific heat capacity (of lead for the purposes of this question)

           ΔT is the temperature change in Kelvin or degree Celsius

Q1 for heating lead = mc(373K-298K) = 75mc

Q2 for heating copper = m(3c)(373-298) = 225mc = 3(75mc) = 3Q1

What is its maximum altitude above the ground? The answer is the maximum height above the ground
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Maximum altitude above the ground = 1,540,224 m = 1540.2 km

Explanation:

Using the equations of motion

u = initial velocity of the projectile = 5.5 km/s = 5500 m/s

v = final velocity of the projectile at maximum height reached = 0 m/s

g = acceleration due to gravity = (GM/R²) (from the gravitational law)

g = (6.674 × 10⁻¹¹ × 5.97 × 10²⁴)/(6370000²)

g = -9.82 m/s² (minus because of the direction in which it is directed)

y = vertical distance covered by the projectile = ?

v² = u² + 2gy

0² = 5500² + 2(-9.82)(y)

19.64y = 5500²

y = 1,540,224 m = 1540.2 km

Hope this Helps!!!
