Answer:

Explanation:

The equation for acceleration is

$a=\frac{v_f-v_0}{t}$ where vf is the final velocity and v0 is the initial velocity. Filling in:

$a=\frac{5-0}{2}$ so

a = 2.5 m/s/s

If 1495 j of heat is needed to raise the temperature of a 351 g sample of a metal from 55.0°c to 66.0°c, what is the specific he

forsale [732]

The amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a substance by $\Delta T$ is given by
$Q= mC_s \Delta T$
where m is the mass of the substance, Cs is its specific heat capacity and $\Delta T$ is the increase of temperature.

If we re-arrange the formula, we get
$C_s = \frac{Q}{m \Delta T}$
And if we plug the data of the problem into the equation, we can find the specific heat capacity of the substance:
$C_s = \frac{1495 J}{(351 g)(66.0^{\circ}C-55.0^{\circ}C)}=0.39 J/g^{\circ}C$

Linear momentum has to be conserved. It was zero before the thread eas burned ... when nothing was moving ... so the momentum of the masses moving in opposite directions has to add up to zero. ... Momentum = mass times speed. ... In one direction, you have 5 kg times 1/5 m/s= 1 kg-m/s. ... We need 1 kg-m/s in the other direction. ... 7 kg times speed = 1 kg-m/s. ... Can you finish it from here ?
