Answer:
The specific heat capacity of the zinc metal measured in this experiment is 0.427 J/g.°C
Explanation:
From the experimental data, the water loses heat because its initial temperature is greater than the final temperature of the mixture. On the other hand, the zinc metal gains heat because its initial temperature is less than the final temperature of the mixture
Heat loss by water = Heat gain by zinc metal
m1C1(T1 - T3) = m2C2(T3 - T2)
m1 is mass of water = 55.4 g
C1 is specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J/g.°C
m2 is mass of zinc metal = 23.4 g
C2 is specific heat capacity of zinc metal
T1 is the initial temperature of water = 99.61 °C
T2 is the initial temperature of zinc metal = 21.6 °C
T3 is the final temperature of the mixture = 96.4 °C
55.4×4.2(99.61 - 96.4) = 23.4×C2(96.4 - 21.6)
746.9028 = 1750.32C2
C2 = 746.9028/1750.32 = 0.427 J/g.°C

Let us follow the motion of the hammer first. Because the elevator is in motion, when he drops the hammer, because of inertia, there is a slight moment when the hammer also rises with the elevator. Eventually it will reach its highest peak and drop down to the floor. So, the total time for the hammer to reach the floor would include: (1) the time for it to rise with the elevator to its highest peak and (2) the time for the free fall from the highest peak to the floor.
1.) Time for it to rise with the elevator to its highest peak:
Hmax = v²/2g = (6 m/s)²/2(9.81 m/s²) = 1.835 m
Time to reach 1.835 m = 1.835 m * 1 s/6 m = 0.306 s
Time for the free fall from the highest peak to the floor:
t = √2y/g, where y is the total height
y = 1.835 m + 42 m = 43.835 m
So,
t = √2(43.835 m )/(9.81 m/s²) = 2.989 s
Therefore, the total time is 0.306 s + 2.989 s = 3.3 seconds
2.) Velocity of impact of a free-falling body is:
v = √2gy
v = √2(9.81 m/s²)(43.835 m)
v = 29.33 m/s
Voltage = 1.5V
Resistance = 1.5 ohm
Current = V/R = 1.5/1.5 = 1A
