Answer:
1.The calorie was originally defined as the amount of heat required at a pressure of 1 standard atmosphere to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1° Celsius. Since 1925 this calorie has been defined in terms of the joule, the definition since 1948 being that one calorie is equal to approximately 4.2 joules.
2.Boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius: 540 calories are needed to turn 1 gram (at 100 degrees Celsius) of water to steam.
<span>Answer:
For a disc, the moment of inertia about the perpendicular axis through the center is given by 0.5MR^2.
where M is the mass of the disc and R is the radius of the disc.
For the axis through the edge, use parallel axis theorem.
I = I(axis through center of mass) + M(distance between the axes)^2
= 0.5MR^2 + MR^2 (since the axis through center of mass is the axis through the center)
= 1.5 MR^2</span>
Answer: 1,500m/s
Explanation:
Relationship existing between velocity of a wave (v), wavelength(¶) and frequency(f) is
v = f¶... (1)
Since Frequency (f) is the reciprocal of the period (T);
Frequency = 1/Period i.e F = 1/T... (2)
Substituting equation 2 into 1 we have;
v = 1/T × ¶
v = ¶/T
Given wavelength ¶ = 9m
Period T = 0.006s
v = 9/0.006
v = 1,500m/s
The velocity of the wave will be 1,500m/s
Answer:
2.62seconds
Explanation:
Speed is defined as the ratio of the distance covered by a body with respect to time.
Speed v = Distance (s)/Time (t)
For a traveling sound wave, the distance between the source of a sound and the reflector is '2S'.
Speed v = 2 × distance (S)/Time (T)
V = 2S/t
2S = vt
Given speed of the wave = 342m/s
Distance covered = 450m
t = 2S/v
t = (2×450)/343
t = 900/343
t = 2.62seconds
It will take him 2.62seconds for him to hear his own voice echo off of the wall.
Answer:
0.358Kg
Explanation:
The potential energy in the spring at full compression = the initial kinetic energy of the bullet/block system
0.5Ke^2 = 0.5Mv^2
0.5(205)(0.35)^2 = 12.56 J = 0.5(M + 0.0115)v^2
Using conservation of momentum between the bullet and the block
0.0115(265) = (M + 0.0115)v
3.0475 = (M + 0.0115)v
v = 3.0475/(M + 0.0115)
plugging into Energy equation
12.56 = 0.5(M + 0.0115)(3.0475)^2/(M + 0.0115)^2
12.56 = 0.5 × 3.0475^2 / ( M + 0.0115 )
12.56 = 0.5 × 9.2872/ M + 0.0115
12.56 = 4.6436/ M + 0.0115
12.56 ( M + 0.0115 ) = 4.6436
12.56M + 0.1444 = 4.6436
12.56M = 4.6436 - 0.1444
12.56 M = 4.4992
M = 4.4992÷12.56
M = 0.358 Kg
