3. 500ml of 60oC water at is added to a beaker. Water’s specific heat is 4.186 J/g °C. You have 40ml of and unknown substance th
at you add to the same beaker. The unknown substance’s specific heat is 14.3/goC The final temperature of the beaker is 45oC. What was the initial temperature of the unknown substance?
Assuming uniform angular acceleration, we can use the following kinematic equation in order to find the total angle rotated during the acceleration process, from rest to its operating speed:
Now, we need first to find the value of the angular acceleration, that we can get from the following expression:
Since the machine starts from rest, ω₀ = 0.
We know the value of ωf₁ (the operating speed) in rev/min.
Due to the time is expressed in seconds, it is suitable to convert rev/min to rev/sec, as follows:
Replacing by the givens in (2):
Solving for α:
Replacing (5) and Δt in (1), we get:
in order to get the number of revolutions during the first half of this period, we need just to replace Δt in (6) by Δt/2, as follows:
In order to get the number of revolutions rotated during the deceleration period, assuming constant deceleration, we can use the following kinematic equation:
First of all, we need to find the value of the angular acceleration during the second period.
We can use again (2) replacing by the givens:
ωf =0 (the machine finally comes to an stop)
ω₀ = ωf₁ = 57.5 rev/sec
Δt = 32 s
Solving for α in (9), we get:
Now, we can replace the values of ω₀, Δt and α₂ in (8), as follows:
In order to get finally the number of revolutions rotated during the first half of the second period, we need just to replace 32 s by 16 s, as follows:
