Answer:

Q = 1057.5 [cal]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the following equation of thermal energy.

Q=m*C_{p}*(T_{final}-T_{initial})

where:

Q = heat energy [cal]

Cp = specific heat = 0.47 [cal/g*°C]

T_final = final temperature = 32 [°C]

T_initial = initial temperature = 27 [°C]

m = mass of the substance = 450 [g]

Now replacing:

Q=450*0.47*(32-27)\\Q=1057.5[cal]

Determine W (or fuel energy) required to launch a satellite of mass m at rest from a launching pad placed at the surface earth,
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

5. 9GmM/(10R)

Explanation:

m is the mass of the satellite

M is the mass of the earth

W is the energy required to launch the satellite

Energy at earth surface = Potential energy (PE) + W

W = Energy at earth surface - Potential energy (PE)

But PE = -\frac{GMm}{R}

Therefore: W = Energy at earth surface - \frac{GMm}{R}

Energy at earth surface (E) at an altitude of 5R = -\frac{GMm}{5r} +\frac{1}{2}mV^2

But V=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{5R} }

Therefore: E=-\frac{GMm}{5R}+\frac{1}{2}m(\sqrt{\frac{GM}{5R} } )^2=  -\frac{GMm}{5R}+\frac{GMm}{10R}  = -\frac{GMm}{10R}

W = E - PE

W=-\frac{GMm}{10R}-(-\frac{GMm}{R})=-\frac{GMm}{10R}+\frac{GMm}{R}=\frac{9GMm}{10R} \\W=\frac{9GMm}{10R}

When is the magnitude of the acceleration of a mass on a spring at its maximum value?
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

A. when the mass has a speed of zero

Explanation:

In mass-spring system, the velocity and the acceleration are in anti-phase, which means that when one of the two quantities is maximum, the other one is zero, and vice-versa.

In fact:

- When the displacement of the spring is zero (x=0), the velocity is maximum, due to conservation of energy. In fact, as the displacement is zero, the elastic potential energy of the system (given by \frac{1}{2}kx^2) is zero, therefore the kinetic energy (given by \frac{1}{2}mv^2) must be maximum, and so the velocity (v) is also maximum. On the cotnrary, acceleration (a) is directly proportional to the restoring force of the spring, given by

F=-kx

so we see that when x=0, then the force is zero: F=0, and so the acceleration is zero as well.

- When the displacement of the spring is maximum, the velocity is zero, due to conservation of energy. In fact, as the displacement is maximum, the elastic potential energy of the system (given by \frac{1}{2}kx^2) is maximum, therefore the kinetic energy (given by \frac{1}{2}mv^2) must be zero, and so the velocity (v) is also zero. On the cotnrary, since acceleration (a) is directly proportional to the restoring force of the spring, given by

F=-kx

so we see that when x=maximum, then the force is maximum, and so the acceleration is maximum as well.

Based on this, the correct answer is

A. when the mass has a speed of zero

Which of the following is not a reason fluorescent lamps are advantageous over incandescent lamps?
Wewaii [24]
The correct option is A.
Fluorescent lamps have many advantages over incandescent lamps and the options given in B, C and D are part of these advantages. The option given in A is a disadvantage and not an advantage. This is because, as a result of operating at an higher temperature, it will gives out and radiate more heat.
