Answer:

mass is something that takes up space and weight is how much mass something has

Your mass will stay the same no matter what place while your weight can vary depending on the circumstances. For instance, in space you have no weight but you still have a mass. The weight is basically the force of gravity that is pushed upon you.

For Part A, Sebastian decided to use the copper cylinder. How would the magnitude of his q and ∆H compare if he were to redo Par

Vitek1552 [10]

The magnitudes of his q and ∆H for the copper trial would be lower than the aluminum trial.

The given parameters;

initial temperature of metals, = $T_m$
initial temperature of water, = $T_i$
specific heat capacity of copper, $C_p$ = 0.385 J/g.K
specific heat capacity of aluminum, $C_A$ = 0.9 J/g.K
both metals have equal mass = m

The quantity of heat transferred by each metal is calculated as follows;

Q = mcΔt

For copper metal, the quantity of heat transferred is calculated as;

$Q_p = (m_wc_w + m_pc_p)(T_m - T_i)\\\\Q_p = (T_m - T_i)(m_wc_w ) + (T_m - T_i)(m_pc_p)\\\\Q_p = (T_m - T_i)(m_wc_w ) + 0.385m_p(T_m - T_i)\\\\m_p = m\\\\Q_p = (T_m - T_i)(m_wc_w ) + 0.385m(T_m - T_i)\\\\let \ (T_m - T_i)(m_wc_w ) = Q_i, \ \ \ and \ let \ (T_m- T_i) = \Delta t\\\\Q_p = Q_i + 0.385m\Delta t$

The change in heat energy for copper metal;

$\Delta H = Q_p - Q_i\\\\\Delta H = (Q_i + 0.385m \Delta t) - Q_i\\\\\Delta H = 0.385 m \Delta t$

For aluminum metal, the quantity of heat transferred is calculated as;

$Q_A = (m_wc_w + m_Ac_A)(T_m - T_i)\\\\Q_A = (T_m -T_i)(m_wc_w) + (T_m -T_i) (m_Ac_A)\\\\let \ (T_m -T_i)(m_wc_w) = Q_i, \ and \ let (T_m - T_i) = \Delta t\\\\Q_A = Q_i \ + \ m_Ac_A\Delta t\\\\m_A = m\\\\Q_A = Q_i \ + \ 0.9m\Delta t$

The change in heat energy for aluminum metal ;

$\Delta H = Q_A - Q_i\\\\\Delta H = (Q_i + 0.9m\Delta t) - Q_i\\\\\Delta H = 0.9m\Delta t$

Thus, we can conclude that the magnitudes of his q and ∆H for the copper trial would be lower than the aluminum trial.

In a police ballistics test, 2.00-g bullet traveling at 700 m/s suddenly hits and becomes embedded in a stationary 5.00-kg wood

aksik [14]

Answer:

Here we use the conservation of momentum theorem.

m stands for mass, and v stands for velocity. The numbers refer to the respective objects.

m1v1 + m2v2 = m1vf1 + m2vf2

Since the equation is perfectly inelastic, the final velocity of both masses is the same. Let’s account for this in our formula.

m1v1 + m2v2 = vf(m1 + m2)

Let’s substitute in our givens.

(0.002 kg)(700 m/s) + (5 kg)(0 m/s) = vf(0.002 kg + 5 kg)

I assume you are proficient in algebra I, so I will not include the steps to simplify this equation.

Note that I have considered the bullet’s velocity to be in the positive direction,

The answer is vf = 0.280 m/s

How do you calculate the magnitude of a force?

Tamiku [17]

If the force equals, for instance, 100 Newtons then 0.866 × 100 = 86.6 Newtons. This is the magnitude of the resultant force vector on the object.
