A 50 g sample of an unknown metal is heated to 90.0C. It is placed in a perfectly insulated container along with 100 g of water

at an initial temperature of 20C. After a short time, the temperature of both the metal and water become equal at 25C. The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/gC in this temperature range. What is the specific heat capacity of the metal?

Q = mcΔT
Qwater = -Qmetal

(100 g)(4.18 J/g°C)(25°C - 20°C) = -(50 g)c(25°C - 90.0°C)

2090 J = (3250 g °C)c

c = 0.643 J/g °C

Imagine two billiard balls on a pool table. Ball A has a mass of 7 kilograms and ball B has a mass of 2 kilograms. The initial v
wlad13 [49]
1) In a perfectly inelastic collision, the two balls stick together after the collision. In this type of collision, the total kinetic energy of the system is not conserved, while the total momentum is conserved.
If we callv_f the final velocity of the two balls that stick together, the conservation of the total momentum before and after the collision can be written as
m_a v_{Ai} + m_b v_{Bi} = (m_A+m_B)v_f (1)
where
m_A=7 kg is the mass of ball A
m_B=2 kg is the mass of ball B
v_{Ai}=6 m/s is the initial velocity of ball A
v_{Bi}=-12 m/s is the initial velocity of ball B (taken with a negative sign, since it goes in the opposite direction of ball A)

If we solve (1) to find v_f, we find that the final velocity of the balls is
v_f= \frac{m_Av_{Ai}+m_Bv_{Bi}}{m_A+m_B}= \frac{(7\cdot 6)+(2 \cdot (- 12))}{7+2}= \frac{18}{9}=2 m/s
and the positive sign means the two balls are going to the right.


2) I assume here we are talking about an elastic collision. In this case, both total momentum and total kinetic energy are conserved:
m_A v_{Ai}+m_B v_{Bi} = m_A v_{fA} + m_B v_{fB}
\frac{1}{2}m_A v_{Ai}^2+ \frac{1}{2}m_B v_{Bi}^2= \frac{1}{2}m_Av_{fA}^2+ \frac{1}{2}m_B v_{fB}^2
where
v_{fA} is the final velocity of ball A
v_{fB} is the final velocity of ball B

If we solve simultaneously the two equations, we find:
v_{fA}= \frac{v_{Ai}(m_A-m_B)+2m_Bv_{Bi}}{m_A+m_B} = \frac{(6)(7-2)+2(2)(-12)}{7+2}=-2 m/s
v_{fB}= \frac{v_{Bi}(m_B-m_A)+2m_Av_{Ai}}{m_A+m_B} = \frac{(-12)(2-7)+2(7)(6)}{7+2}= \frac{144}{9}=16 m/s
So, after the collision, ball A moves to the left with velocity v=-2 m/s and ball B moves to the right with velocity v=16 m/s.

3) The total momentum before and after the collision is conserved.
In fact, the total momentum before the collision is:
p_i = m_A v_{A} + m_B v_{fB} = (7\cdot 6)+(2 \cdot (-12))=42-24=18 m/s
and the total momentum after the collision is:
p_f = m_A v_{A} + m_B v_{fB} = (7\cdot (-2))+(2 \cdot 16)=-14+32=18 m/s

Light with energy equal to three times the work function of a given metal causes the metal to eject photoelectrons. What is the
Mrac [35]

The ratio of the maximum photoelectron kinetic energy to the work function will be 3:1.

<h3 /><h3>What is the photoelectric effect?</h3>

When a medium receives electromagnetic radiation, electrostatically charged particles are emitted from or inside it.

The emission of ions from a steel plate when light falls on it is a common definition of the effect. The substance could be a solid, liquid, or gas; and the released particles could be protons or electrons.

A particular metal emits photoelectrons when exposed to light with energy three times its work function:

\rm KE=3 \phi

The ratio of the maximum photoelectron kinetic energy to the work function will be;

R=\frac{E}{\phi} \\\\ R=\frac{3 \phi}{\phi} \\\\ R= 3

Hence, the ratio of the maximum photoelectron kinetic energy to the work function will be 3:1.

A small plastic bead has been charged to -15nC.
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Explanation:

q = - 15 n C = - 15 x 10^-9 c

(a) d = 0.9 cm = 0.009 m

electric field on proton, E = Kq/d²

E = 9 x 10^9 x 15 x 10^-9 / (0.009)²

E = 1.67 x 10^6 N/C

Force on proton, F = charge on proton x Electric field

F = 1.6 x 10^-19 x 1.67 x 10^6 = 2.67 x 10^-13 N

acceleration of proton, a = F / m

a = (2.67 x 10^-13) / (1.67 x 10^-27)

a = 1.6 x 10^14 m/s²

(B) the direction of acceleration is towards the bead, as the force is attractive.

(C) d = 0.9 cm = 0.009 m

electric field on proton, E = Kq/d²

E = 9 x 10^9 x 15 x 10^-9 / (0.009)²

E = 1.67 x 10^6 N/C

Force on electron, F = charge on electron x Electric field

F = 1.6 x 10^-19 x 1.67 x 10^6 = 2.67 x 10^-13 N

acceleration of proton, a = F / m

a = (2.67 x 10^-13) / (9.1 x 10^-31)

a = 3 x 10^17 m/s²

(D) the direction of acceleration is away from the bead, as the force is repulsive.
