Why does a projectile fired along a horizontal not follow a straight path?

1 answer:

3 0

Answer: A projectile which is fired horizontally is being constantly acted upon by acceleration due to gravity, acting vertically downwards. Hence, it does not follow a straight line path. Also Why a projectile fixed along the horizontal not follow a straight line path? Because the projectile fired horizontally is constantly acts upon by acceleration due to gravity acting vertically downwards.

A 50-g cube of ice, initially at 0.0°C, is dropped into 200 g of water in an 80-g aluminum container, both initially at 30°C.

Answer:

b. 9.5°C

Explanation:

$m_i$ = Mass of ice = 50 g

$T_i$ = Initial temperature of water and Aluminum = 30°C

$L_f$ = Latent heat of fusion = $3.33\times 10^5\ J/kg^{\circ}C$

$m_w$ = Mass of water = 200 g

$c_w$ = Specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg⋅°C

$m_{Al}$ = Mass of Aluminum = 80 g

$c_{Al}$ = Specific heat of Aluminum = 900 J/kg⋅°C

The equation of the system's heat exchange is given by

$m_i(L_f+c_wT)+m_wc_w(T-T_i)+m_{Al}c_{Al}=0\\\Rightarrow 0.05\times (3.33\times 10^5+4186\times T)+0.2\times 4186(T-30)+0.08\times 900(T-30)=0\\\Rightarrow 1118.5T-10626=0\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{10626}{1118.5}\\\Rightarrow T=9.50022\ ^{\circ}C$
