A 32.5 g cube of aluminum initially at 45.8 °C is submerged into 105.3 g of water at 15.4 °C. What is the final temperature of b

lakkis [162]

Answer:

$T = 17.26 ^oC$

Explanation:

At thermal equilibrium we have heat given by aluminium must be equal to the heat absorbed by the water

so we will have

$Q_1 = Q_2$

$m_1s_1\Delta T_1 = m_2s_2\Delta T_2$

so we will have

$32.5(900)(45.8 - T) = 105.3(4186)(T - 15.4)$

so we have

$(45.8 - T) = 15.1(T - 15.4)$

so we have

$16.1 T = 277.87$

$T = 17.26 ^oC$

Explain the difference between si base units and derived units. give an example of each

34kurt

Base SI unit is the unit that used for simple quantity like time=second and length= meter. They only have one unit.
Derived unit is more complex because you multiply or divide at least two base SI, making it have more than 1 unit. The example could be velocity which was time/length = m/s

Calculate the speed of a proton after it accelerates from rest through a potential difference of 350 V.

AVprozaik [17]

The speed of a proton after it accelerates from rest through a potential difference of 350 V is $25.86 \times 10^4 ~m/s$ .

Initial velocity of the proton $u = 0$

Given potential difference $\Delta V = 350V$

let's assume that the speed of the proton is $v$ ,

Since the proton is accelerating through a potential difference, proton's potential energy will change with time. The potential energy of a particle of charge $q$ when accelerated with a potential difference $\Delta V$ is,

$U = q \Delta V$

Due to Work-Energy Theorem and Conservation of Energy - <em>If there is no non-conservative force acting on a particle then loss in Potential energy P.E must be equal to gain in Kinetic Energy K.E</em> i.e

$\Delta K = \Delta V$

If the initial and final velocity of the proton is $u$ and $v$ respectively then,

change in Kinetic Energy $\implies \Delta K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 -\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - 0$

change in Potential Energy $\implies \Delta U = q\Delta V$

from conservation of energy,

$v= \sqrt{\frac{2q\Delta V}{m}}$

so, $v = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 350 \times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{1.67 \times 10^{-27}}$

$= 25.86 \times 10^4 ~m/s$
