M = mass of aluminium = 1.11 kg

$c_{a}$ = specific heat of aluminium = 900

$T_{ai}$ = initial temperature of aluminium = 78.3 c

m = mass of water = 0.210 kg

$c_{w}$ = specific heat of water = 4186

$T_{wi}$ = initial temperature of water = 15 c

T = final equilibrium temperature = ?

using conservation of heat

Heat lost by aluminium = heat gained by water

M $c_{a}$ ( $T_{ai}$ - T) = m $c_{w}$ (T - $T_{wi}$ )

(1.11) (900) (78.3 - T) = (0.210) (4186) (T - 15)

T = 48.7 c

The law of universal gravitation states that a gravitational force exists between all objects in the universe. This force is dir

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

D. It has been demonstrated to be without exception under certain stated conditions.

Explanation:

A principle is simply a proposition based on some results from some experiments. A principle becomes a law when it gains strength. That is when other scientists support and back it.

A scientific law is a statement that describes a natural phenomenon and is not contradicted by repeated experiments over the time.

Sir Isaac Newton's law of gravitation stated "A gravitational force exists between all objects in the universe. This force is directly proportional to the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the distance between them."

His law explained that every body in the universe attracts every other body. It explained that it is not just Earth that pulls us towards it. But even sun and moon has their own gravitational pull and so does all other objects. It is just that the Gravitational pull of some objects is negligible.

Newton's law of Gravitation is considered a universal law because it is applicable to almost all the bodies in the universe and is demonstrated to be correct for them under certain conditions.

How do resistors in parallel affect the total resistance?

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

They're going to increase the total resistance as $R_{T} = \sum\limits_{i=1}^N \left(\frac{1}{R_i} \right)^{-1}$

Explanation:

If the resistors are in parallel, the potential difference is the same for each resistor. But the total current is the sum of the currents that pass through each of the resistors. Then

$I = I_1 + I_2 + ... + I_N$

where

$I_i = \frac{V_i}{R_i}$

but

$V_i = V_j = V$ for $i,j= 1, 2,..., N$

$I = \frac{V}{R_1}+ \frac{V}{R_2} + ... + \frac{V}{R_N} = \left(\frac{1}{R_1} +\frac{1}{R_2} + ... + \frac{1}{R_N}\right)V = \frac{V}{R_T}$

where

$R_T = \left(\frac{1}{R_1} +\frac{1}{R_2} + ... + \frac{1}{R_N}\right)^{-1} =\sum\limits_{i=1}^N \left(\frac{1}{R_i} \right)^{-1}$

How is thermal equilibrium reached? Question 3 options: When both objects have the same temperature When objects have the same m

ollegr [7]

In the thermal equilibrium, the change in temperature is said to be zero in between the bodies. Thermal equilibrium is reached when both objects have the same temperature.

<h3>What is thermal equilibrium?</h3>

Thermal equilibrium is easily explained by the zeroth law of thermodynamics. If any two-body is at thermal equilibrium there is no change in the temperature of the body.

According to zeroth law if body A is in thermal equilibrium with body B and body B is in thermal equilibrium with C . So body A and C are also in thermal equilibrium.

In the thermal equilibrium, the net heat transfer is said to be zero in between the bodies.

Hence option A IS RIGHT. Thermal equilibrium is reached when both objects have the same temperature

The spring is released and a 0.10-kilogram plastic sphere is fired from the launcher. Calculate the maximum speed with which the

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

A) The elastic potential energy stored in the spring when it is compressed 0.10 m is 0.25 J.

B) The maximum speed of the plastic sphere will be 2.2 m/s

Explanation:

Hi there!

I´ve found the complete problem on the web:

<em>A toy launcher that is used to launch small plastic spheres horizontally contains a spring with a spring constant of 50. newtons per meter. The spring is compressed a distance of 0.10 meter when the launcher is ready to launch a plastic sphere.</em>

<em>A) Determine the elastic potential energy stored in the spring when the launcher is ready to launch a plastic sphere.</em>

<em>B) The spring is released and a 0.10-kilogram plastic sphere is fired from the launcher. Calculate the maximum speed with which the plastic sphere will be launched. [Neglect friction.] [Show all work, including the equation and substitution with units.]</em>

<em />

A) The elastic potential energy (EPE) is calculated as follows:

EPE = 1/2 · k · x²

Where:

k = spring constant.

x = compressing distance

EPE = 1/2 · 50 N/m · (0.10 m)²

EPE = 0.25 J

The elastic potential energy stored in the spring when it is compressed 0.10 m is 0.25 J.

B) Since there is no friction, all the stored potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy when the spring is released. The equation of kinetic energy (KE) is the following:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass of the sphere.

v = velocity

The kinetic energy of the sphere will be equal to the initial elastic potential energy:

KE = EPE = 1/2 · m · v²

0.25 J = 1/2 · 0.10 kg · v²

2 · 0.25 J / 0.10 kg = v²

v = 2.2 m/s

The maximum speed of the plastic sphere will be 2.2 m/s
