The block is made of A) Tin, as its specific heat capacity is $0.225 J/(g^{\circ}C)$

Explanation:

When an amount of energy Q is supplied to a sample of material of mass m, the temperature of the material increases by $\Delta T$ , according to the following equation :

$Q=mC_s \Delta T$

where $C_s$ is the specific heat capacity of the material.

In this problem, we have:

m = 2 kg = 2000 g is the mass of the unknown material

$Q = 450 J$ is the amount of energy supplied to the block

$\Delta T = 1^{\circ}C$ is the change in temperature of the material

Solving the equation for $C_s$ , we can find the specific heat capacity of the unknown sample:

$C_s = \frac{Q}{m \Delta T}=\frac{450}{(2000)(1)}=0.225 J/(g^{\circ}C)$

And by comparing with tabular values, we can find that this value is approximately the specific heat capacity of tin.

Two blocks are connected by a string over a pulley. The hanging block has a mass of 8-kg and the one on the plane has a mass of

jeka94

Answer:

Let f be force of friction on the blocks kept on inclined plane. T be tension in the string

For motion of block on the inclined plane in upward direction

T - m₁gsin40 - f = m₁a

f = μ m₁gcos40

For motion of hanging block on in downward direction

m₂g - T = m₂ a

Adding to cancel T

m₂g - - m₁gsin40 - μ m₁gcos40 = a ( m₁+m₂ )

a = g (m₂ - - m₁sin40 - μ m₁cos40) / ( m₁+m₂ )

Putting the values

a = 9.8 ( 4.75 - 2.12-1.045) / 7.6

2.04 m s⁻²

M₂ will go down and M₁ will go up with acceleration .

A spring has a 12 cm length. When a 200-g mass is hung from the spring, it extends to 27 cm. The hanging mass were pulled downwa

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

The equation of the time-dependent function of the position is $x(t)=5\cos(8.08t)$

(b) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 12 cm

Mass = 200 g

Extend distance = 27 cm

Distance = 5 cm

Phase angle =0°

We need to calculate the spring constant

Using formula of restoring force

$F=kx$

$mg=kx$

$k=\dfrac{mg}{x}$

$k=\dfrac{200\times10^{-3}\times9.8}{(27-12)\times10^{2}}$

$k=13.06\ N/m$

We need to calculate the time period

Using formula of time period

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}$

Put the value into the formula

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{0.2}{13.6}}$

$T=0.777\ sec$

At t = 0, the maximum displacement was 5 cm

So, The equation of the time-dependent function of the position

$x(t)=A\cos(\omega t)$

Put the value into the formula

$x(t)=5\cos(2\pi\times f\times t)$

$x(t)=5\cos(2\pi\times\dfrac{1}{T}\times t)$

$x(t)=5\cos(2\pi\times\dfrac{1}{0.777}\times t)$

$x(t)=5\cos(8.08t)$

Hence, The equation of the time-dependent function of the position is $x(t)=5\cos(8.08t)$

a bungee jumper momentarily comes to rest at the bottom of the dive before he springs back upward. at that moment, is the bungee

barxatty [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

No, the bungee jumper is not at equilibrium.

This can be explained when we consider a bungee jumper as a mass that is undergoing simple harmonic motion. At extreme points i.e. at the bottom, the velocity of the jumper is zero but not the acceleration because it is acting in the opposite direction that is why the jumper moves upward.
