Help with 1 2 and 3 please
geniusboy [140]

1. Amperes, is the SI unit (also a fundamental unit) responsible for current.

2. I = \frac{q}{t} Δq over Δt technically

Rearrange for Δq

I x Δt = Δq

1.5mA x 5 = Δq

Δq = 0.0075

Divide this by the fundamental charge "e"

Electrons: 0.0075 / 1.60 x 10^-19

Electrons: 4.6875 x 10^16 or 4.7 x 10^16

3.  So we know that the end resistances will be equal so:

ρ = RA/L

ρL = RA

ρL/A = R

Now we can set up two equations one for the resistance of the aluminum bar and one for the copper: Where 1 represents aluminum and 2 represents copper

\frac{p1L1}{A1}  = \frac{p2L2}{A2}\\

We are looking for L2 so we can isolate using algebra to get:

\frac{A2(\frac{P1L1}{A1}) }{P2} = L2

If you fill in those values you get 0.0205

or 2.05 cm

What temperature will 1L of H20 at 200°F become when a piece of copper,0.25kg at 260.928K, comes into contact with water?
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of 1 L water = 1 kg .

200⁰F = (200 - 32) x 5 / 9 = 93.33⁰C .

260.928 K = 260.928 - 273 = - 12.072⁰C .

water is at higher temperature .

Let the equilibrium temperature be t .

Heat lost by water = mass x specific heat x  fall of temperature

= 1 x 4.2 x 10³ x ( 93.33 - t )

Heat gained by copper

= .25 x .385 x 10³ x ( t +  12.072 )

Heat lost = heat gained

1 x 4.2 x 10³ x ( 93.33 - t ) = .25 x .385 x 10³ x ( t +  12.072 )

93.33 - t = .0229 ( t + 12.072)

93.33 - t = .0229 t + .276

93.054 = 1.0229 t

t = 90.97⁰C .
