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

What is the interaction between surface water and groundwater in a watershed?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Groundwater occasionally discharges into surface water and then, they flow together as a body of water in a watershed.

Explanation:

According to www.mbgnet.net A watershed describes an area of land that contains a common set of streams and rivers that all drain into a single larger body of water, such as a larger river, a lake or an ocean.

Therefore, when groundwater discharges into a body of surface water, for example a stream, the stream just like several other streams in a watershed would flow into a larger body of water.

If a farsighted person has a near point that is 0.600 mm from the eye, what is the focal length f2f2f_2 of the contact lenses th
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

0.22mm

Explanation:

A far sighted person is a person suffering from long sightedness i.e such individual can only see far distant object clearly but not near distant object. The defect is corrected using convex lens.

Since convex lens is used, the focal (f) length of the lens is positive and the image distance (v) is also positive.

Using the lens formula,

1/f = 1/u + 1/v

Where u is the object distance = 0.35mm

v = 0.6mm

1/f = 1/0.35+1/0.6

1/f = 2.86 + 1.67

1/f = 4.53

f = 1/4.53

f = 0.22mm

The focal length of the contact lenses will be 0.22mm
