Answer:

The unknown substance is Aluminum.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the change in the temperature of substance. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial temperature (T₁) = 25 ⁰C

Final temperature (T₂) = 100 ⁰C

Change in temperature (ΔT) =?

ΔT = T₂ – T₁

ΔT = 100 – 25

ΔT = 75 ⁰C

Finally, we shall determine the specific heat capacity of the substance. This can be obtained as follow:

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 75 ⁰C

Mass of the substance (M) = 135 g

Heat (Q) gained = 9133 J

Specific heat capacity (C) of substance =?

Q = MCΔT

9133 = 135 × C × 75

9133 = 10125 × C

Divide both side by 10125

C = 9133 / 10125

C = 0.902 J/gºC

Thus, the specific heat capacity of substance is 0.902 J/gºC

Comparing the specific heat capacity (i.e 0.902 J/gºC) of substance to those given in the table above, we can see clearly that the unknown substance is aluminum.

A.) Determine the work done by Zach on the bull.
Lana71 [14]

Explanation:

Work done is a physical quantity that is defined as the force applied to move a body through a particular distance.

Work is only done when the force applied moves a body through a distance.

    Work done  = Force x distance

The maximum work is done when the force is parallel to the distance direction.

The minimum work is done when the force is at an angle of 90° to the distance direction.

 So to solve this problem;

 multiply the force applied by Zack and distance through which the bull was pulled.

Two violinists are trying to play in tune. However, whenever they play their A string at the same time they hear a beat frequenc
kaheart [24]

Answer:

The possible frequencies for the A string of the other violinist is 457 Hz and 467 Hz.

(3) and (4) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Beat frequency f = 5.0 Hz

Frequency f'= 462 Hz

We need to calculate the possible frequencies for the A string of the other violinist

Using formula of frequency

f'=f_{1}-f...(I)

f'=f_{1}+f...(II)

Where, f= beat frequency

f₁ = frequency

Put the value in both equations

f'=462-5=457\ Hz

f'=462+5=467\ Hz

Hence, The possible frequencies for the A string of the other violinist is 467 Hz and 457 Hz.

A horizontal compass is placed 21 cm due south from a straight vertical wire carrying a 36 a current downward. in what direction
Anit [1.1K]

 <span>
The needle of a compass will always lies along the magnetic field lines of the earth. 
A magnetic declination at a point on the earth’s surface equal to zero implies that 
the horizontal component of the earth’s magnetic field line at that specific point lies along 
the line of the north-south magnetic poles. </span>

The presence of a current-carrying wire creates an additional <span>
magnetic field that combines with the earth’s magnetic field. Since magnetic 
<span>fields are vector quantities, therefore the magnetic field of the earth and the magnetic field of the vertical wire must be combined vectorially. </span></span>

<span>
Where:</span>

B1 = magnetic field of the earth along the x-axis = 0.45 × 10 ⁻ ⁴ T

B2 = magnetic field due to the straight vertical wire along the y-axis

We can calculate for B2 using Amperes Law:

B2 = μ₀ i / [ 2 π R ]

B2 = [ 4π × 10 ⁻ ⁷ T • m / A ] ( 36 A ) / [ 2 π (0.21 m ) ] <span>
B2 = 5.97 × 10 ⁻ ⁵ T = 0.60 × 10 ⁻ ⁴ T </span>

The angle can be calculated using tan function:<span>
tan θ = y / x = B₂ / B₁ = 0.60 × 10 ⁻ ⁴ T / 0.45 × 10 ⁻ ⁴ T <span>
tan θ = 1.326</span></span>

θ = 53°

<span>
<span>The compass needle points along the direction of 53° west of north.</span></span>

horizontal clothesline is tied between 2 poles, 14 meters apart. When a mass of 3 kilograms is tied to the middle of the clothes
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The tension is  T =  103.96N

Explanation:

The free body diagram of the question is shown on the first uploaded image From the question we are told that

           The distance between the two poles is D =14 m

          The mass tied between the two cloth line is  m = 3Kg

         The distance it sags is d_s = 1m

The objective of this solution is to obtain the magnitude of the tension on the ends of the  clothesline

Now the sum of the forces on the y-axis is zero assuming  that the whole system is at equilibrium

       And this can be mathematically represented as

                             \sum F_y = 0

 To obtain \theta we apply SOHCAHTOH Rule

 So    Tan \theta = \frac{opp}{adj}

          \theta = tan^{-1} [\frac{opp}{adj} ]

            = tan^{-1} [\frac{1}{7}]

          =8.130^o

=>  \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 2T sin\theta -mg =0

=>  \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ T =\frac{mg}{2 sin\theta}

=>  \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ T = \frac{3 * 9.8 }{2 sin \theta }

=>  \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \  T =\frac{29.4}{2sin(8.130)}

=>  \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \  T = 103.96N
