Answer:

Heat Flow Rate : ( About ) 87 W

Explanation:

The heat flowing out of the system each minute, will be represented by the following equation,

Q( cup ) + Q( water ) = m( cup ) * c( al ) * ΔT + m( w ) * c( w ) * ΔT

So as you can see, the mass of the aluminum cup is 150 grams. For convenience, let us convert that into kilograms,

150 grams = .15 kilograms - respectively let us convert the mass of water to kilograms,

800 grams = .8 kilograms

Now remember that the specific heat of aluminum is 900 J / kg * K, and the specific heat of water = 4186 J / kg * K. Therefore let us solve for " the heat flowing out of the system per minute, "

Q( cup ) + Q( water ) = .15 * ( 900 J / kg * K )  * 1.5 + .8 * ( 4186 J / kg * K ) * 1.5,

Q( cup ) + Q( water ) = 5225.7 Joules

And the heat flow rate should be Joules per minute,

5225.7 Joules / 60 seconds = ( About ) 87 W

Explain Ionic and Covalent bonding..
Elis [28]
Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bonding that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, and is the primary interaction occurring in ionic compounds.A covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs, and the stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms, when they share electrons, is known as covalent bonding.

If an airplane is flying directly north at 300.0 km/h, and a crosswind is hitting the airplane at 50.0 km/h from the east, what
Rashid [163]

Answer:

magnitude = 304.14 km/h

direction: 9.46^o West of North

Explanation:

The final plane's vector velocity will be the result of the vector addition of one pointing North of length 300 km/h, another one pointing West of length 50 km/h.

To find the magnitude of the final velocity vector (speed) we need to apply the Pythagorean theorem in a right angle triangle with sides: 300 and 50, and find its hypotenuse:

|v|=\sqrt{300^2+50^2}=\sqrt{92500}  = 304.14 km/h

The actual direction of the plane is calculated using trigonometry, in particular with the arctan function, since the tangent of the angle can be written as:

tan(\theta)=\frac{50}{300} = \frac{1}{6} \\\theta = arctan(\frac{1}{6} ) = 9.46^o

So the resultant velocity vector of the plane has magnitude = 304.14 km/h,

and it points 9.46^o West of the North direction.

A cat chases a mouse across a 1.2 m high table. The mouse steps out of the way, and the cat slides off the table and strikes the
Drupady [299]
The cat has two directions of motions:
The horizontal motion = Dx = 2.2 m
The vertical motion = Dy = -1.3 m (negative sign indicates that the cat is falling)
a = 9.8 m/sec^2
Vy = zero (since you are not moving up)

From the laws of motion:
<span>Dy = Vyt + 0.5ayt^2 
</span>-1.3 = 0(t) + 0.5(-9.8)t^2
<span>t = 0.52s
</span>
Then, again using the laws of motion (but for the horizontal direction this time)
Dx = Vxt 
<span>2.2 = Vx0.52 </span>
<span>Vx = 2.2/0.52 </span>
<span>= 4.23 m/s 
</span>
<span>Therefore the cat's speed when it slid off the table is 4.23 m/s horizontally.</span>
