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.

The question is in the picture. :)
NISA [10]
Player A needs the least amount of energy. The ball is light weight and she is closest to the goal so the momentum need to kick the ball will be the least and the distance is has to travel is the shortest. But player C needs the most amount of energy. The ball is heavy so it will take the most momentum to move the ball and over such a long distance. Hope this help idrk.

How do you solve this???
Tom [10]
Rt= ΣR = 40Ω
Vt= 80V
It= 80V/40Ω= 2A
V1= 15Ω*2A= 30V
V2= 20Ω*2A= 40V
V3= 5Ω*2A= 10V

An insulating sphere is 8.00 cm in diameter and carries a 6.50 µC charge uniformly distributed throughout its interior volume.
Kobotan [32]

Explanation:

(a)   Formula to calculate the density is as follows.

            \rho = \frac{Q}{\frac{4}{3}\pi a^{3}}

                       = \frac{6.50 \times 10^{-6}}{\frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (0.04)^{3}}

                     = 2.42 \times 10^{-2} C/m^{3}

Now, calculate the charge as follows.

            q_{in} = \rho(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3})

                      = 2.42 \times 10^{-2} C/m^{3} \times 4.1762 \times (0.01)^{3}

                      = 10.106 \times 10^{-8} C

or,                   = 101.06 nC

(b)  For r = 6.50 cm, the value of charge will be calculated as follows.

                q_{in} = \frac{Q}{\frac{4}{3}\pi a^{3}}

                          = \frac{6.50 \times 10^{-6}}{\frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (0.065)^{3}}

                          = 7.454 \mu C
