<h3>Answer:</h3>

172.92 °C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Concept being tested: Quantity of heat

We are given;

  • Specific heat capacity of copper as 0.09 cal/g°C
  • Quantity of heat is 8373 calories
  • Mass of copper sample as 538.0 g

We are required to calculate the change in temperature.

  • In this case we need to know that the amount of heat absorbed or gained by a substance is given by the product of mass, specific heat capacity and change in temperature.
  • That is, Q = m × c × ΔT

Therefore, to calculate the change in temperature, ΔT we rearrange the formula;

ΔT = Q ÷ mc

Thus;

ΔT = 8373 cal ÷ (538 g × 0.09 cal/g°C)

    = 172.92 °C

Therefore, the change in temperature will be 172.92 °C

A 1500 kg car, initially traveling at 22.0 m/s, hits its brakes and skids to a stop. Determine the work done by friction.
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

<em>The work done by the car is 363 kJ</em>

Explanation:

Work : Work is said to be done when a Force moves an object through a certain distance. Work and Energy are interchangeable because they have the same unit. The unit of work is Joules (J).

Mathematically work done can be expressed as,

E = W = 1/2mv²

W =  1/2mv²................................ Equation 1

Where E = Energy, W = work done, m = mass of the car, v = velocity of the car

<em>Given: m=1500 kg, v=22 m/s</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1</em>

<em>W = 1/2(1500)(22)²</em>

<em>W = 750 × 484</em>

<em>W = 363000 J</em>

<em>W = 363 kJ</em>

<em>Thus the work done by the car is 363 kJ</em>

Does air resistance affect the motion of a falling object differently when the initial velocity of the object is greater?
DIA [1.3K]
Yes. Even greater. Air resistance or drag becomes harder the faster an object goes. This is why when cars reach their max speed they don't accelerate as fast, because they are pushing harder against the wind. If I take a tennis ball and shoot it down a bottomless pit, a 400 kph, the drag will slow the ball down till it reaches terminal velocity.

Which statement is true about a falling object? (Assume no
vladimir2022 [97]

I would say the answer is 3 because by falling technically the ball would be kind of moving in the air. Plus potential energy is when for example a soccer ball isnt moving

Bobby places a 4.75 cm tall light bulb a distance of 33.2 cm from a concave mirror. If the mirror has a focal length of 28.2, th
Fittoniya [83]
The image distance can be determined using the mirror equation: 1/f = 1/d_o + 1/d_i, where, f is the focal length, d_o is the object distance, and d_i is the image distance. Given that f = 28.2 and d_o = 33.2 cm, the value of d_i is calculated to be 187.248 cm. On the other hand, the image height is obtained using the magnification equation wherein, h_i/h_o = -d_i/d_o, where h_i is the image height and h_o is the object height. Using the given values, h_i is equal to -26.79 cm. Note that the negative sign indicates that the image is inverted.

. A milk truck carries milk with density 64.6 lbyft3 in a horizontal cylindrical tank with diameter 6 ft. (a) Find the force exe
Goryan [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

one end of tank will be circular in shape . Area of circle A

= π r² , r is radius of the circle

= 3.14 x 3²

A = 28.26 ft³

To calculate force  on the circular area , we first find pressure at the center of the circle which is at depth equal to r

pressure at the center = h d g ' here h = depth = r   , d = density of milk

pressure = 3 x 64.6 x 32 poundal / ft²

= 6201.6 poundal / ft²

total force on circular face = pressure at the center x area of circle

= 6201.6 x 28.26

= 175257.21 poundal .
