Answer:

119.6 J/Kg°C

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Mass of substance (ms) = 170 g

Initial temperature of substance (Ts) = 120 °C

Volume of water = 200 mL

Initial temperature of water (Ts) = 10 °C

Temperature of the mixture (T2) = 12.6 °C

Density of water = 1 g/mL

Specific heat capacity of water (Cw) = 4200J/Kg°C

Specific heat capacity of substance (Cs) =..?

Next, we shall determine the mass of water. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume of water = 200 mL

Density of water = 1 g/mL

Mass of water =..?

Density = mass /volume

1 = mass /200

Cross multiply

Mass of water = 1 x 200

Mass of water = 200 g

Convert 200 g of water to Kg

Mass of water = 200/1000 0.2 Kg

Mass of water = 0.2 Kg

Now, we obtained the specific heat capacity of the substance using the following formula:

MwCw(T2 – Tw) + MsCs(T2 – Ts) = 0

Mass of water = 0.2 Kg

Initial temperature of water (Ts) = 10 °C

Specific heat capacity of water (Cw) = 4200J/Kg°C

Temperature of the mixture (T2) = 12.6 °C

Mass of substance (ms) = 170 g = 170/1000 = 0.17 Kg

Initial temperature of substance (Ts) = 120 °C

Specific heat capacity of substance (Cs) =..?

MwCw(T2 – Tw) + MsCs(T2 – Ts) = 0

0.2× 4200(12.6 – 10) + 0.17×Cs×(12.6 – 120) = 0

840(2.6) + 0.17Cs(– 107.4) = 0

2184 – 18.258Cs = 0

Rearrange

2184 = 18.258Cs

Divide both side by the coefficient of Cs i.e 18258

Cs = 2184/18.258

Cs = 119.6 J/Kg°C

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of the substance is 119.6 J/Kg°C

A playground merry-go-round has a mass of 115 kg and a radius of 2.50 m and it is rotating with an angular velocity of 0.520 rev

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

$W_f = 2.319 rad/s$

Explanation:

For answer this we will use the law of the conservation of the angular momentum.

$L_i = L_f$

so:

$I_mW_m = I_sW_f$

where $I_m$ is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round, $W_m$ is the initial angular velocity of the merry-go-round, $I_s$ is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round and the child together and $W_f$ is the final angular velocity.

First, we will find the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round using:

I = $\frac{1}{2}M_mR^2$

I = $\frac{1}{2}(115 kg)(2.5m)^2$

I = 359.375 kg*m^2

Where $M_m$ is the mass and R is the radio of the merry-go-round

Second, we will change the initial angular velocity to rad/s as:

W = 0.520*2 $\pi$ rad/s

W = 3.2672 rad/s

Third, we will find the moment of inertia of both after the collision:

$I_s = \frac{1}{2}M_mR^2+mR^2$

$I_s = \frac{1}{2}(115kg)(2.5m)^2+(23.5kg)(2.5m)^2$

$I_s = 506.25kg*m^2$

Finally we replace all the data:

$(359.375)(3.2672) = (506.25)W_f$

Solving for $W_f$ :

$W_f = 2.319 rad/s$

A bomb of mass 6kg initially at rest explodes into two fragments of masses 4kg and2kg respectively. If the greater mass moves wi

Katen [24]

Answer:

v = 10 [m/s]

Explanation:

The largest mass is that of 4 [kg], in this way the momentum can be calculated by means of the product of the mass by velocity.

$P=m*v\\$

where:

P = momentum [kg*m/s]

m = mass = 4 [kg]

v = velocity = 5 [m/s]

Now the momentum:

$P=4*5\\P=20[kg*m/s]$

This same momentum is equal for the other mass, in this way we can find the velocity.

$P=m*v\\20=2*v\\v=10[m/s]$

Basalt, formed from magma, contains iron-rich minerals. Why is this important?

Svetach [21]

Iron is a magnetic metal, and it is essential to the Earth's magnetic field!
Essentially it "records" (stores the information, maintains) the direction and orientation of the magnetic field.

Among others, the magnetic field protects the Earth from dangerous cosmic rays.

When drinking at a private even, you should assume that drinks will ___.

allochka39001 [22]

When drinking at a private event, you should assume that drinks will be STRONGER THAN NORMAL.

At private events, some hosts have the habit of mixing different drinks together in order to increase the intoxicating power of the drinks. This does not normally happen when one is buying from restaurants or other commercial places. Thus, to be on the safe side, one should always assume that drinks will be stronger when one is attending a private event, this will caution one to drink responsibly in order to avoid intoxication.
