A student drops two metallic objects into a 120-g steel con- tainer holding 150 g of water at 25°C. One object is a 200-g cube o

f copper that is initially at 85°C, and the other is a chunk of aluminum that is initially at 5.0°C. To the surprise of the student, the water reaches a final temperature of 25°C, precisely where it started. What is the mass of the aluminum chunk?

Answer:

The mass of the aluminum chunk is 258 g

Explanation:

Given;

mass of steel container =  120-g

mass of water = 150 g

initial temperature of water, = 25°C

mass of copper cube, M_{cu} = 200 g

initial temperature of the copper cube, T_c_u = 85°C

initial temperature of the aluminum chunk T_A_l = 5.0°C

Neglecting heat loss, heat exchanged by the two metallic objects is the same since initial temperature is equal to final temperature of water.

M_{Al}C_{Al} \delta T_{Al} = M_{cu}C_{cu} \delta T_{cu}

where;

C_{AL} is specific heat capacity of aluminum

\delta T_{Al} is change in temperature of aluminum

C_c_u is the specific heat capacity of copper

\delta T_c_u is the change in temperature of copper

M_{Al}C_{Al} \delta T_{Al} = M_{cu}C_{cu} \delta T_{cu} \\\\M_{Al} = \frac{M_{cu}C_{cu} \delta T_{cu}}{C_{Al} \delta T_{Al}} \\\\M_{Al} = \frac{0.2*387*60}{900*20} = 0.258 \ kg

Therefore, the mass of the aluminum chunk is 258 g

Explain: What happens to the velocity of a stream as the size of the sediment increases?
artcher [175]

Answer:

Also, as stream depth increases, the hydraulic radius increases thereby making the stream more free flowing. Both of these factors lead to an increase in stream velocity. The increased velocity and the increased cross-sectional area mean that discharge increases.

A World War II bomber flies horizontally over level terrain, with a speed of 287 m/s relative to the ground and at an altitude o
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer: 7.38 km

Explanation: The attachment shows the illustration diagram for the question.

The range of the bomb's motion as obtained from the equations of motion,

H = u(y) t + 0.5g(t^2)

U(y) = initial vertical component of velocity = 0 m/s

That means t = √(2H/g)

The horizontal distance covered, R,

R = u(x) t = u(x) √(2H/g)

Where u(x) = the initial horizontal component of the bomb's velocity = 287 m/s, H = vertical height at which the bomb was thrown = 3.24 km = 3240 m, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s2

R = 287 √(2×3240/9.8) = 7380 m = 7.38 km
