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.

Explain why an equation may be homogenous with respect to its unit but still be incorrect​
natima [27]
When both sides of an equation give the same units, same numerical values, and same concept we refer to the equation as being correct. ... Removing constants from correct equations make them homogeneous but incorrect.

When a 5.0-kilogram cart moving with a speed of 2.8 meters per second on a horizontal surface collides with a 2.0 kilogram cart
mixer [17]

Here in all such collision type question we can use momentum conservation as we can see that there is no external force on this system

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

as we know that

m_1 = 5 kg

m_2 = 2 kg

v_{1i} = 2.8 m/s

v_{2i} = 0 m/s

now from above equation we have

5(2.8) + 2(0) = m_1v+ m_2v

14 = (5+ 2) v

v = 2 m/s

so the speed of combined system is 2 m/s

What is the purpose of an experiment design?
Eddi Din [679]
An experimental design is used to assign variables for testing. In contrast to a control design where nothing is changed, the experimental design allows you to test various new inputs to see how they would vary from the original results.

A wave traveling in a string has a wavelength of 35 cm, an amplitude of 8. 4 cm, and a period of 1. 2 s. What is the speed of th
AlekseyPX

0.29 m/s (wave velocity = wavelength (lamda)/period (T) in metres)

35 / 1.2 = 29.16

29.16 ÷ 100 = 0.29

Wave velocity in string:

The properties of the medium affect the wave's velocity in a string. For instance, if a thin guitar string is vibrated while a thick rope is not, the guitar string's waves will move more quickly. As a result, the linear densities of the two strings affect the string's velocity. Linear density is defined as the mass per unit length.

Instead of the sinusoidal wave, a single symmetrical pulse is taken into consideration in order to comprehend how the linear mass density and tension will affect the wave's speed on the string.
