Answer:

T_f=24.71

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass of block m=50

Temperature of block T_b =140 \textdegree C

Volume of water V= 90L

Temperature of water T_w=10 \textdegree C

Density of water \rho=1000kg/m^3

Specific heat of water C_w=4.18KJ/kg-k

Specific heat of copper C_p=0.96KJ/kg-k

 

Generally the equation for equilibrium stage is mathematically given by

mC_p(T_b-T_f)=\rho*VV*c(T_f-T_w)

50*0.96(140-T_f)=1000*90*10^-3*c_w(T_f-10)

48(140-T_f)=376.2(T_f-10)

140-T_f=7.8375(T_f-10)

140-T_f=7.8375T_f-78.375

-8.8375T_f=-218.375

T_f=\frac{-218.375}{-8.8375}

T_f=\frac{-218.375}{-8.8375}

T_f=24.71

What is harmonic motion
Tanzania [10]

Answer:  NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONONONO

Explanation: simple harmonic motion, in physics, repetitive movement back and forth through an equilibrium, or central, position, so that the maximum displacement on one side of this position is equal to the maximum displacement on the other side. The time interval of each complete vibration is the same. The force responsible for the motion is always directed toward the equilibrium position and is directly proportional to the distance from it. That is, F = −kx, where F is the force, x is the displacement, and k is a constant. This relation is called Hooke’s law.

A specific example of a simple harmonic oscillator is the vibration of a mass attached to a vertical spring, the other end of which is fixed in a ceiling. At the maximum displacement −x, the spring is under its greatest tension, which forces the mass upward. At the maximum displacement +x, the spring reaches its greatest compression, which forces the mass back downward again. At either position of maximum displacement, the force is greatest and is directed toward the equilibrium position, the velocity (v) of the mass is zero, its acceleration is at a maximum, and the mass changes direction. At the equilibrium position, the velocity is at its maximum and the acceleration (a) has fallen to zero. Simple harmonic motion is characterized by this changing acceleration that always is directed toward the equilibrium position and is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position. Furthermore, the interval of time for each complete vibration is constant and does not depend on the size of the maximum displacement. In some form, therefore, simple harmonic motion is at the heart of timekeeping.

andrew-mc [135]
When the child is moving, he/she has kinetic energy. For just a brief second before they move the other way, the child is not moving, but they have gravitational potential energy.

The child may need a push from time to time because friction with the air causes loss of energy.

A square is cut out of a copper sheet. Two straight scratches on the surface of the square intersect forming an angle theta. The
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

<em>a) increases</em>

Explanation:

Almost all substance or material undergoes expansion due to heating. Heat gives thermal energy to the molecules of a substance increasing their body temperature. The temperature of a substance is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of that substance. When the temperature of a substance increases, the molecules begin to agitate and try to move far from each other, leading to either a linear, area, or cubic expansion, or all three of them. Metals like copper expand very well on heating, and their expansion is relatively minute, but very observable. When the face of such a copper is scratched to give and angle, heating the copper uniformly will cause the copper to expand, leading to an increase in the angle formed.
