Answer:

The weight of object in alcohol is, W₀ = 9.6 N

Explanation:

Given,

The weight of body in air, Wₐ = 10 N

The weight of the body in water, Wₓ = 9.5 N

The density of the alcohol, ρ = 0.8 g/cm³

                                                = 800 kg/m³

The weight of body in water = weight of object in air - weight of water displaced

                        9.5 N = 10 N - weight of water displaced

                       Weight of water displaced = 0.5 N

The mass of the displaced water, m = 0.5 / 9.8

                                                            = 0.051 kg

Therefore the volume of the water displaced,

                                              V = m / ρ

                                                  = 0.051 / 1000

                                                   = 5.1 x 10⁻⁵ m³

<em>The volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of alcohol displaced</em>

Therefore, the mass of the alcohol displaced, = V x ρ

                                                                             = 5.1 x 10⁻⁵ x 800

                                                                             = 0.0405 kg

The weight of the alcohol displaced, w = 0.0405 x 9.8

                                                                    = 0.4 N

Therefore,

The weight of body in alcohol = weight of object in air - weight of alcohol displaced

                             W₀ = W - w

                                    = 10 N - 0.4 N

                                     = 9.6 N

Hence, the weight of object in alcohol is, W₀ = 9.6 N

lana [24]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity is q_{L}=126.12kJ/kg

The efficiency of the temperature is n_{TH}=0.67

Explanation:

The p-v diagram illustration is in the attachment

T_{H} means high temperature

T_{L} means low temperature

The energy equation :

q_{h} = R* T_{h} in(V_{2}/V_{1})

   =0.287 * 1200 ln(3)

   =0.287*1318.33

   =378.36kJ/kg

The specific heat capacity:

q_{L}=q_{h}*(T_{L}/T_{H})

q_{L}=378.36 * (400/1200)

q_{L}=378.36 * 0.333

q_{L}=126.12kJ/kg

The efficiency of the temperature will be:

n_{TH}=1 - (T_{L}/T_{H})

n_{TH}=1-(400/1200)

n_{TH}=1-0.333

n_{TH}=0.67

Why heat capacity for polymer higher than metal?
jok3333 [9.3K]
Because polymers are covalently bonded material, and metals are metalicly bonded material. 

Covalent bonds do not let atoms exchange electrons like metalic bonds do.

Consider the following mass distribution where the x- and y-coordinates are given in meters: 5.0 kg at (0.0, 0.0) m, 2.9 kg at (
Sauron [17]

Answer:

x = -1.20 m

y = -1.12 m

Explanation:

as we know that four masses and their position is given as

5.0 kg (0, 0)

2.9 kg (0, 3.2)

4 kg (2.5, 0)

8.3 kg (x, y)

As we know that the formula of center of gravity is given as

x_{cm} = \frac{m_1 x_1 + m_2x_2 + m_3x_3 + m_4x_4}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3 + m_4}

0 = \frac{5(0) + 2.9(0) + 4(2.5) + 8.3 x}{5 + 2.9 + 4 + 8.3}

10 + 8.3 x = 0

x = -1.20 m

Similarly for y direction we have

y_{cm} = \frac{m_1 y_1 + m_2y_2 + m_3y_3 + m_4y_4}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3 + m_4}

0 = \frac{5(0) + 2.9(3.2) + 4(0) + 8.3 y}{5 + 2.9 + 4 + 8.3}

9.28 + 8.3 x = 0

x = -1.12 m

At the moment a hot cake is put in a cooler, the difference between the cakes and the cooler's
hram777 [196]

Answer: D(t)= 50(4/5)^t

Explanation: If 1/5 of the temperature difference is lost each minute, that means 4/5 of the difference remains each minute. So each minute, the temperature difference is multiplied by a factor of 4/5 (or 0.8).

If we start with the initial temperature difference, 50° Celsius, and keep multiplying by 4/5, this function gives us the temperature difference t minutes after the cake was put in the cooler.
