A 55.0-g sample of hot metal initially at 99.5oC was added to 40.0 g of water in a Styrofoam coffee cup calorimeter. The water a

nd calorimeter were initially at 21.0oC. If the final temperature of mixture was 30.5oC, calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/(g.oC) and heat capacity of calorimeter is 10.0 J/oC.

Answer:

Cp= 0.44 J/g.C

This is heat capacity of metal.

Explanation:

From energy conservation

Heat lost by metal = Heat gain by water +Heat gain by  calorimeter

Because here temperature of metal is high that is why it loose the heat.The temperature of water and  calorimeter is low that is why they gain the heat.

final temperature is T= 30.5 C

We know that sensible heat transfer given as

Q= m Cp ΔT

m=Mass

Cp=Specific heat capacity

ΔT=Temperature difference

By putting the values

55 x Cp ( 99.5 - 30.5) = 40 x 4.184 ( 30.5- 21 ) + 10 x ( 30.5 - 21)

Cp ( 99 .5- 30.5) = 30.65

Cp= 0.44 J/g.C

This is heat capacity of metal.

When turned on, a fan requires 5.0 seconds to get up to its final operating rotational speed of 1200 rpm. a) How large is the fi
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

a)

125.6 rad/s

b)

25.12 rad/s²

Explanation:

a)

t = time required by the fan to get up to final operating speed = 5 sec

w = final operating rotational speed = 1200 rpm

we know that :

1 revolution = 2π rad

1 min = 60 sec

w = 1200\frac{rev}{min}\frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev}\frac{1 min}{60 sec}

w = \frac{1200\times 2\pi }{60}\frac{rad}{s}

w = 125.6 rad/s

b)

w₀ = initial angular speed = 0 rad/s

α = angular acceleration

using the equation

w = w₀ + α t

125.6 = 0 + α (5)

α = 25.12 rad/s²

Two identical charges q placed 2.0 mapart exert forces of magnitude 4.0 N on each other What is the value of the charge q? a) q
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

c) 4.2*10^{-5}C

Explanation:

Coulomb's law says that the force exerted between two charges is inversely proportional to the square of distance between them, and is given by the expression:

F=\frac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}

where k is a proportionality constant with the value k=9*10^{9}\frac{Nm^{2}}{C^{2}}

In this case q_{1}=q_{2}=q, so we have:

F=\frac{kq^{2}}{r^{2}}

Solving the equation for q, we have:

kq^{2}=Fr^{2}

q^{2}=\frac{Fr^{2}}{k}

q=\sqrt{\frac{Fr^{2}}{k}}

Replacing the given values:

q=\sqrt{\frac{4.0N*(2.0m)^{2}}{9*10^{-9}\frac{Nm^{2}}{C^{2}}}}

q=4.2*10^{-5}C
