Force. Force is measured by newtons, probably because he came up with the equations to calculate force.

Hope this helps!

An insulated Thermos contains 140 cm3 of hot coffee at 85.0°C. You put in a 15.0 g ice cube at its melting point to cool the cof

Pavel [41]

Answer:

$T = 69^o C$

Explanation:

Here at thermal equilibrium we can say that thermal energy given by Hot coffee is equal to the thermal energy absorbed by ice cubes

So here we have

$Q_{ice} = Q_{coffee}$

now since ice cubes are added into coffee when it is at melting temperature

So here we can say that final temperature of coffee is T degree C

Now we have

$m_1L + m_1c_1\Delta T_1 = m_2c_2\Delta T_2$

here we have

$m_1 = 15 gram$

L = 333 kJ/kg = 333 J/g[/tex]

$c_1 = c_2 = 4186 J/kg C = 4.186 J/g C$

$\Delta T_1 = T - 0$

$\Delta T_2 = 85 - T$

now we have

$15(333) + 15(4.186)(T - 0) = 140(4.186)(85 - T)$

$4995 + 62.79T = 49813.4 - 586.04T$

$648.83 T = 44818.4$

$T = 69^o C$

The human ear canal is about 2.9 cm long and can be regarded as a tube open at one end and closed at the eardrum. What is the fu

solniwko [45]

The frequency of the human ear canal is 2.92 kHz.

Explanation:

As the ear canal is like a tube with open at one end, the wavelength of sound passing through this tube will propagate 4 times its length of the tube. So wavelength of the sound wave will be equal to four times the length of the tube. Then the frequency can be easily determined by finding the ratio of velocity of sound to wavelength. As the velocity of sound is given as 339 m/s, then the wavelength of the sound wave propagating through the ear canal is

Wavelength=4*Length of the ear canal

As length of the ear canal is given as 2.9 cm, it should be converted into meter as follows:

$wavelength = 4*2.9*10^{-2} =0.116$
