Answer:

22425 J

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying

Q = cm(t₂-t₁).................. Equation 1

Where Q = Thermal Energy, c = specific heat capacity of aluminium, m = mass of aluminium, t₂ = Final Temperature, t₁ = Initial Temperature.

Given: c = 897 J/kg.K, m = 1.0 kg, t₁ = 50 °C, t₂ = 25 °C (The final temperature is reduced by half)

Substitute these values into equation 1

Q = 897×1×(25-50)

Q = 897×(-25)

Q = -22425 J

Hence the thermal energy lost by the aluminium is 22425 J

SOH-CAH-TOA is used to solve for the ________
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

c. initial (x and y)

Explanation:

When a projectile is launched at a velocity with a launch angle, to solve it, we must first resolve the initial velocity into the x and y components. To do this will mean we have to treat it like a triangle due to the launch angle and the direction of the projectile.

Therefore, we will have to make use of trigonometric ratios which is also known by the mnemonic "SOH CAH TOA"

Thus, this method resolves the initial x and y velocities.

How do I differentiate between final and initial velocity in Physics?​
pychu [463]

Answer:

Initial velocity describes how fast an object travels when gravity first applies force on the object. On the other hand, the final velocity is a vector quantity that measures the speed and direction of a moving body after it has reached its maximum acceleration.

How fast did Newton decide a cannon ball shot out in order to escape Earth’s gravity?
arsen [322]

Plugging in for the Earth's mass and for G, we have 11.2 km/s for the escape velocity for an object launched from the Earth's surface. This is about 25,000 miles per hour

A car is traveling south is 200 kilometers from it’s starting point after 2 hours. What is the average velocity of the car
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

100

Explanation:

take note that v=d/t (velocity is distance over(divided by) time, so in this case it would be 200 (distance) divided by 2 (time) = 100

A mixture of helium and oxygen is used in scuba diving tanks to help prevent ""the bends"". 46 L helium and 12 L oxygen are comb
marin [14]

Answer

given,

For helium

Volume,V = 46 L

Pressure,P = 1 atm

Temperature,T = 25°C  =  273 +25 = 298 K

R=0.0821 L . atm /mole.K

n₁ = ?

number of moles

we know

P V = n R T

n_1 =\dfrac{46 \times 1}{0.0821\times 298}

  n₁ = 1.89 moles

For oxygen

Volume,V = 12 L

Pressure,P = 1 atm

Temperature,T = 25°C  =  273 +25 = 298 K

R=0.0821 L . atm /mole.K

n₂ = ?

number of moles

we know

P V = n R T

n_2 =\dfrac{12 \times 1}{0.0821\times 298}

  n₂ = 0.49 moles

Total volume of tank = 5 L

temperature of tank = 298 K

Partial pressure of helium

P_1=\dfrac{n_1 R T}{V}

P_1=\dfrac{1.89\times 0.0821\times 298}{5}

     P₁ = 9.25 atm

Partial pressure of oxygen

P_2=\dfrac{n_2 R T}{V}

P_2=\dfrac{0.49\times 0.0821\times 298}{5}

    P₂ = 2.39 atm

total pressure

    P = P₁ + P₂

    P = 9.25 + 2.39

    P = 11.64 atm
