Answer:

129 J/Kg°C

Explanation:

Given :

Mass of gold, m = 1.2kg

Quantity of heat applied, Q = 3096 J

Temperature, t2 = 40°C

Temperature, t1 = 20°C

Change in temperature, dt = (40-20)°C = 20°C

Using the relation :

Q = mcdt

Where, C = specific heat capacity of gold

3096 = 1.2kg * C * 20°C

3096 J = 24kg°C * C

C = 3096 J / 24 kg°C

C = 129 J/Kg°C

A model plane has a mass of 0.75 kg and is flying 12 m above the ground
Grace [21]

Answer:

Option C. 210 J.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 0.75 Kg

Height (h) = 12 m

Velocity (v) = 18 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Total Mechanical energy (ME) =?

Next, we shall determine the potential energy of the plane. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 0.75 Kg

Height (h) = 12 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Potential energy (PE) =?

PE = mgh

PE = 0.75 × 9.8 × 12

PE = 88.2 J

Next, we shall determine the kinetic energy of the plane. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 0.75 Kg

Velocity (v) = 18 m/s

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½ × 0.75 × 18²

KE = ½ × 0.75 × 324

KE = 121.5 J

Finally, we shall determine the total mechanical energy of the plane. This can be obtained as follow:

Potential energy (PE) = 88.2 J

Kinetic energy (KE) = 121.5 J

Total Mechanical energy (ME) =?

ME = PE + KE

ME = 88.2 + 121.5

ME = 209.7 J

ME ≈ 210 J

Therefore, the total mechanical energy of the plane is 210 J.

For what angle of incidence at the first mirror will this ray strike the midpoint of the second mirror (which is 28.0 cmcm long)
loris [4]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Two plane mirrors intersect at right angles. A laser beam strikes the first of them at a point 11.5 cm from their point of intersection, as shown in the figure.

For what angle of incidence at the first mirror will this ray strike the midpoint of the second mirror (which is 28.0 cmcm long) after reflecting from the first mirror

Answer: angle of incidence is 39.4°

Explanation:

Given that;

two plain mirrors intersect at right angle (90°)

distance d = 11.5 cm

S = 28.0 cm

Now the angle that the reflection ray males with first the mirror equal theta  (∅)

so

tan∅ = (S/2) / d

tan∅ = (28/2) / 11.5

tan∅ = 14 / 11.5

tan∅ = 1.2173

∅ = tan⁻¹ (1.2173)

∅ = 50.6°

so angle of incidence = 90° - ∅

= 90° - 50.6°

= 39.4°

Therefore angle of incidence is 39.4°

What is the mass of a sample of water that takes 2000 kJ of energy to boil into steam at 373 K? The latent heat of vaporization
GREYUIT [131]

Answer : The mass of a sample of water is, 888.89 grams

Explanation :

Latent heat of vaporization : It is defined as the amount of heat energy released or absorbed when the liquid converted to vapor at atmospheric pressure at its boiling point.

Formula used :

q=L\times m

where,

q = heat = 2000 kJ = 2\times 10^6J       (1 kJ = 1000 J)

L = latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.25\times 10^6J/kg

m = mass of sample of water = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

2\times 10^6J=(2.25\times 10^6J/kg)\times m

m=0.88889kg=888.89g       (1 kg = 1000 g)

Therefore, the mass of a sample of water is, 888.89 grams

A tennis ball bounces on the floor three times. If each time it loses 11% of its energy due to heating, how high does it rise af
aalyn [17]

Answer:

h = 3.10 m

Explanation:

As we know that after each bounce it will lose its 11% of energy

So remaining energy after each bounce is 89%

so let say its initial energy is E

so after first bounce the energy is

E_1 = 0.89 E

after 2nd bounce the energy is

E_2 = 0.89(0.89 E)

After third bounce the energy is

E_3 = (0.89)(0.89)(0.89)E

here initial energy is given as

E = mgH_o

now let say final height is "h" so after third bounce the energy is given as

E_3 = mgh

now from above equation we have

mgh = (0.89)(0.89)(0.89)(mgH)

h = 0.705H

h = 0.705(4.4 m)

h = 3.10 m
