1) 29.8 C

At the beginning, the metal is at higher temperature (70.4 C) while the water is at lower temperature (23.6 C). When they are put in contact, the metal transfers heat to the water, until they reach thermal equilibrium: at thermal equilibrium the two objects (the metal and the water have same temperature). Therefore, since the temperature of the water at thermal equilibrium is 29.8 C, the final temperature of the metal must be the same (29.8 C).

2) 6.2 C

The temperature change of the water is given by the difference between its final temperature and its initial temperature:

\Delta T = T_f - T_i

where

T_f = 29.8 C\\T_i = 23.6 C

Substituting into the formula,

\Delta T=29.8 C-23.6 C=6.2 C

And the positive sign means that the temperature of the water has increased.

3) -40.6 C

The temperature change of the metal is given by the difference between its final temperature and its initial temperature:

\Delta T = T_f - T_i

where

T_f = 29.8 C\\T_i = 70.4 C

Substituting into the formula,

\Delta T=29.8 C-70.4 C=-40.6 C

And the negative sign means the temperature of the metal has decreased.

leva [86]
Galaxies are much further apart than stars. This is the reason why they are less likely to collide and the likelihood of galactic collision is much smaller  than the likelihood of stellar collision. Example for galaxy collision is the collision of the Milky Way galaxy with Andromeda. It is estimated that the collision will be <span>in about 4.5 billion years. </span>

The electric field 2.5 mm from a uniform sheet of charge is σ=800, NC. How much charge is contained in a 5.0x5.0 cm section of t
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The charge is 2.75\times10^{-13}\ C

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 2.5 mm

Electric field = 800 NC

Length L=5.0\times5.0\times10^{-4}\ m

We need to calculate the linear charge density

Using formula of linear charge density

E=\dfrac{2k\lambda}{r}

\lambda=\dfrac{Er}{2k}

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=\dfrac{800\times2.5\times10^{-3}}{2\times9\times10^{9}}

\lambda=1.1\times10^{-10}\ C/m

We need to calculate the charge

Using formula of charge

Q=\lambda\timesL

Put the value into the formula

Q=1.1\times10^{-10}\times(5.0\times5.0\times10^{-4})

Q=2.75\times10^{-13}\ C

Hence, The charge is 2.75\times10^{-13}\ C
