Five-gram samples of copper and aluminum are at room temperature. Both receive equal amounts of energy due to heat flow. The spe

cific heat capacity of copper is 0.09 cal/g°C, and the specific heat capacity of aluminum is 0.22 cal/g°C. Which of the following statements is true?
a. The temperature of each sample increases by the same amount.
b. The aluminum will get hotter than the copper.
c. The copper will get hotter than the aluminum.
d. The temperature of each sample decreases by the same amount

Answer:

  • <u><em>c. The copper will get hotter than the aluminum.</em></u>

Explanation:

The <em>energy due to heat flow</em>, i.e. the heat energy, is proportional to the product of the mass, the <em>specific heat capacity</em>, and the change in <em>temperature</em>:

          Heat=mass\times \text{specific heat capacity }\times\Delta T

From which you obtain:

     \Delta T=\dfrac{Heat}{mass\times \text{specific heat capacity}}

That equation tells that the change in temperature is inversely related to the product of the mass and the specific heat.

In the problem, the masses of the samples of copper and aluminum are equal (<em>5.00g</em>) and both samples receive <em>equal amounts of energy due to heat flow</em>, thus the only difference is the <em>specific heat capacity</em> of each sample.

From the above stated relationship between the change in temperature, the heat, the mass, and the specific heat capacity, under the assumption of all the other conditions equal (heat energy and mass), the higher the specific heat capacity the lower the change in temperature, and the lower the specific heat capacity the greater the change in temperature.

The heat capacity of copper (0.09 cal/g°C) is lower than the specific heat capacity of aluminum is (0.22 cal/g°C), thus the increase in temeperature of the copper sample will be greater than that of the aluminum sample. This means that <em>the copper will get hotter than the aluminum (option c.)</em>

Find the difference between two masses measured as 123.6 grams and 115.972 grams. Express the answer to the correct number of si
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The difference is 7.6 grams.

Explanation:

In mathematics the difference of two numbers is express as the subtraction between them:

         

a-b

So to find out the difference between the two measured masses, a will be represented by 123.6 grams since is the bigger number, and b by 115.972 grams.

Therefore, it is get:

123.6grams-115.972grams = 7.6grams

<u>Hence, the difference is 7.6 grams. </u>

The result of 7.628 will be expressed as 7.6 to have the correct number of significant figures.          

 

Notice how that can be express in units of kilograms too since there is 1000 gram in 1 kilogram:

7.6grams . \frac{1Kg}{1000grams} ⇒ 7.6x10^{-3}Kg

love history [14]
The history of life in the geologic past as indicated by the imprints or remains of living thing is called FOSSIL RECORD.<span> It is the evolution that unfolded over trillion of years as natural and environmental interacts based on the natural selection. The fossil record is among the most popular evidences of evolution. It shows the way of living, the type of people, the survival struggles of the ancient people in the old times. All these types of remains are recorded that makes up the fossil record. </span>

Answer:

1- For the track B. The potential energy is the same for the two cars, but because of the slope of the track, the car B earn kinetic energy faster. The gravitation acceleration of the cars will be g•sinθ, and the angle of the track B will have a bigger value for sinθ

2- The conservation of energy applies because the roller coaster is a closed track. When a car climb the track, it earn GPE, which is given by mgh, when it get down in the track, it transform GPE in KE, which is given in 1/2mv².

3-

Position of car (m) GPE KE GPE + KE

top (30m) 60000 0 60000

bottom (0m) 0 60000 60000

halfway down (15m) 30000 30000 60000

three-quarters way down 15000 45000 60000
