Mercury has one of the lowest specific heats. This fact added to its liquid state at most atmospheric temperatures make it effec

tive for use in thermometers. If 275 J of energy are added to 0.450 kg of mercury, the mercury's temperature will increase by 4.09 K. What is the specific heat of mercury.

The specific heat of mercury is 149.4 J/(kgK)

Explanation:

When a substance is supplied with an amount of energy Q, its temperature increases according to the equation:

$\Delta T=\frac{Q}{mC_s}$

where

$\Delta T$ is the increase in temperature

m is the mass of the sample

$C_s$ is its specific heat capacity

For the sample of mercury in this problem we have

Q = 275 J

m = 0.450 kg

$\Delta T = 4.09 K$

Therefore, by re-arranging the equation we find the mercury's specific heat:

$C_s = \frac{Q}{m\Delta T}=\frac{275}{(0.450)(4.09)}=149.4 J/(kgK)$

Explain how neurons convey information using both electrical and chemical signals.

8090 [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

Neurons communicate via both electrical signals and chemical signals. The electrical signals are action potentials, which transmit the information from one of a neuron to the other; the chemical signals are neurotransmitters, which transmit the information from one neuron to the next.

The electrical signal travels down the axon to the axon terminals where it tells the vesicles to release the neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft which travel to the receptors of the receiving cell which releases the second messengers

A ball is hit with a paddle, causing it to travel straight upward. It takes 2.90 s for the ball to reach its maximum height afte

zmey [24]

Answer:

A. 28.42 m/s

B. 41.21 m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Time (t) to reach the maximum height = 2.90 s

Initial velocity (u) =?

Maximum height (h) =?

A. Determination of the initial velocity of the ball.

Time (t) to reach the maximum height = 2.90 s

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s (at maximum height)

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) =?

v = u – gt (since the ball is going against gravity)

0 = u – (9.8 × 2.9)

0 = u – 28.42

Collect like terms

0 + 28.42 = u

u = 28.42 m/s

Thus, the initial velocity of the ball is 28.42 m/s

B. Determination of the maximum height reached by the ball.

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s (at maximum height)

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) = 28.42 m/s

Maximum height (h) =?

v² = u² – 2gh (since the ball is going against gravity)

0² = 28.42² – (2 × 9.8 × h)

0 = 807.6964 – 19.6h

Collect like terms

0 – 807.6964 = – 19.6h

– 807.6964 = – 19.6h

Divide both side by – 19.6

h = – 807.6964 / – 19.6

h = 41.21 m

Thus, the maximum height reached by the ball is 41.21 m

galben [10]

Answer:

$\triangle P=1.95*10^{-4}$

Explanation:

Mass $m=0.001$

Diameter $d=1.2m$

Length $l=10m$

Generally the equation for Volume flow rate is mathematically given by

$Q=AV$

$V=\frac{Q}{\pi/4D^2}$

$V=\frac{0.001}{\pi/4(1.2)^2}$

$V=8.84*10^{-4}$

Generally the equation for Friction factor is mathematically given by

$F=\frac{64}{Re}$

Where Re

Re=Reynolds Number

$Re=\frac{pVD}{\mu}$

$Re=\frac{1000*8.84*10^{-4}*1.2}{1.002*10^{-3}}$

$Re=1040$

Therefore

$F=\frac{64}{Re}$

$F=\frac{64}{1040}$

$F=0.06$

Generally the equation for Friction factor is mathematically given by

$Head loss=\frac{fLv^2}{2dg}$

$H=\frac{0.06*10*(8.9*10^-4)^2}{2*1.2*9.81}$

$H=19.9*10^{-9}$

Where

$H=\frac{\triangle P}{\rho g}$

$\triangle P=\frac{19.9*10^{-9}}{10^3*(9.81)}$

$\triangle P=H*\rho g$

$\triangle P=1.95*10^{-4}$
