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

An airplane of mass 1.60 ✕ 104 kg is moving at 66.0 m/s. The pilot then increases the engine's thrust to 7.70 ✕ 104 N. The resis

(a) No, because the mechanical energy is not conserved

Explanation:

The work-energy theorem states that the work done by the engine on the airplane is equal to the gain in kinetic energy of the plane:

W=\Delta K (1)

However, this theorem is only valid if there are no non-conservative forces acting on the plane. However, in this case there is air resistance acting on the plane: this means that the work-energy theorem is no longer valid, because the mechanical energy is not conserved.

Therefore, eq. (1) can be rewritten as

W=\Delta K + E_{lost}

which means that the work done by the engine (W) is used partially to increase the kinetic energy of the airplane (\Delta K) and part is lost because of the air resistance (E_{lost}).

(b) 77.8 m/s

First of all, we need to calculate the net force acting on the plane, which is equal to the difference between the thrust force and the air resistance:

F=7.70\cdot 10^4 N - 5.00 \cdot 10^4 N=2.70\cdot 10^4 N

Now we can calculate the acceleration of the plane, by using Newton's second law:

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{2.70\cdot 10^4 N}{1.60\cdot 10^4 kg}=1.69 m/s^2

where m is the mass of the plane.

Finally, we can calculate the final speed of the plane by using the equation:

v^2- u^2 = 2aS

where

v=? is the final velocity

u=66.0 m/s is the initial velocity

a=1.69 m/s^2 is the acceleration

S=5.00 \cdot 10^2 m is the distance travelled

Solving for v, we find

v=\sqrt{u^2+2aS}=\sqrt{(66.0 m/s)^2+2(1.69 m/s^2)(5.00\cdot 10^2 m)}=77.8 m/s

Intense temperature and pressure of regional metamorphism

Explanation:

The process that cause the formation of the Vishnu Schist is the intense temperature and pressure as a result of regional metamorphism.

  • Regional metamorphism is an extensive metamorphism of an area as a result of temperature and pressure changes.
  • The schist is a foliated metamorphic rock usually found in areas of moderate to high grade temperature and pressure.
  • The Vishnu schist must have been metamorphosed before the new sediments were deposited on top.

Does air resistance affect the motion of a falling object differently when the initial velocity of the object is greater?
DIA [1.3K]
Yes. Even greater. Air resistance or drag becomes harder the faster an object goes. This is why when cars reach their max speed they don't accelerate as fast, because they are pushing harder against the wind. If I take a tennis ball and shoot it down a bottomless pit, a 400 kph, the drag will slow the ball down till it reaches terminal velocity.

Through which one of the following mediums is the velocity of a sound wave the greatest?
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer: C. Steel

Explanation: When a sound wave travels through a solid body consisting

of an elastic material, the velocity of the wave is relatively

high. For instance, the velocity of a sound wave traveling

through steel (which is almost perfectly elastic) is about

5,060 meters per second. On the other hand, the velocity

of a sound wave traveling through an inelastic solid is

relatively low. So, for example, the velocity of a sound wave

traveling through lead (which is inelastic) is approximately

1,402 meters per second.

The property of matter that determines the direction of heat flow is the
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Temperature

Explanation:

The heat flows from high temperature to low temperature.So we can say that temperature is the property that decide the direction of heat flow.Like in the electric system current flow high voltage to low voltage ,so we can say that voltage is the property which determine the direction of current flow.

So the answer is Temperature.
