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>

A 1,508 kg car rolling on a horizontal surface has a speed of 20.8 km/hr when it strikes a horizontal coiled spring and is broug
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Approximately 1.79 \times 10^{5}\; {\rm N \cdot m^{-1}}, assuming friction between the vehicle and the ground is negligible.

Explanation:

Let m denote the mass of the vehicle. Let v denote the initial velocity of the vehicle. Let k denote the spring constant (needs to be found.) Let x denote the maximum displacement of the spring.

Convert velocity of the vehicle to standard units (meters per second):

\begin{aligned}v &= 20.8\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}} \times \frac{1000\; {\rm m}}{1\; {\rm km}} \times \frac{1\; {\rm h}}{3600\; {\rm s}} \\ &\approx 1.908\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}.

Initial kinetic energy ({\rm KE}) of the vehicle:

\begin{aligned}\frac{1}{2}\, m \, v^{2}\end{aligned}.

When the vehicle is brought to a rest, the elastic potential energy (\text{EPE}) stored in the spring would be:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2}.

By the conservation of energy, if the friction between the vehicle and the ground is negligible, the initial \text{KE} of the vehicle should be equal to the {\rm EPE} of the vehicle. In other words:

\begin{aligned}\frac{1}{2}\, m \, v^{2} &= \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2}\end{aligned}.

Rearrange this equation to find an expression for k, the spring constant:

\begin{aligned}k &= \frac{m\, v }{x^{2}}\end{aligned}.

Substitute in the given values m = 1508\; {\rm kg}, v \approx 1.908\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}, and x = 6.87\; {\rm m}:

\begin{aligned}k &= \frac{m\, v }{x^{2}} \\ &\approx \frac{1508\; {\rm kg} \times 1.908\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}}{(6.87\; {\rm m})^{2}} \\ &\approx 1.79 \times 10^{5}\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-2} \cdot m^{-3}}\\ &\approx 1.79 \times 10^{5}\; {\rm N \cdot m^{-1}}\end{aligned}

At what speed does a typical electron pass by any given point in the wire?
attashe74 [19]
A 5.00 A current runs through a 12 gauge copper wire (diameter 2.05 mm) and through a light bulb. Copper has 8.5*10^28 free electrons per cubic metre.

a) How many electrons pass through the light bulb each second?

b) What is the current density in the wire? (answer in A/m^2)

<span>c) At what speed does a typical electron pass by any given point in the wire? (answer in m/s)

</span>a) 5.0 A = 5.0 C/s 
. Number of electrons in 5.0C = 5.0 / 1.60^-19 = 3.125^19
. 5.0 A ►= 3.125^19 electrons/s

b) A/m² = 5.0 / π(1.025^-3 m)² .. .. ►= 1.52^6 A/m²

c) Charge density (q/m³) = 8.50^28 e/m³ x 1.60^-19 = 1.36^10 C/m³

(q/m³)(m²)(m/s) = q/s (current i in C/s [A])
(m²) = Area
(m/s) = mean drift speed

(q/m³)(A)(v) = i

v = i.[(q/m³)A]ˉ¹

<span>v = 5.0 [1.36^10 * π(1.025^-3 m)²]ˉ¹.. .. ►v = 1.10^-4 m/s</span>
