A 0.4000 kg sample of methanol at 16.0ºC is mixed with 0.4000 kg of water at 85.0ºC. Assuming no heat loss to the surroundings,

what is the final temperature of the mixture? The specific heat of methanol is 2450 J/kg•ºC, the specific heat capacity of liquid water is 4180 J/kg⋅°C

Answer:

T_finalmix = 59.5 [°C].

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, a thermal balance must be performed, where the heat is transferred from water to methanol, at the end the temperature of the water and methanol must be equal once the thermal balance is achieved.

Q_{water}=Q_{methanol}

where:

Q_{water}=m_{water}*Cp_{water}*(T_{waterinitial}-T_{final})

mwater = mass of the water = 0.4 [kg]

Cp_water = specific heat of the water = 4180 [J/kg*°C]

T_waterinitial = initial temperature of the water = 85 [°C]

T_finalmix = final temperature of the mix [°C]

Q_{methanol}=m_{methanol}*Cp_{methanol}*(T_{final}-T_{initialmethanol})

Now replacing:

0.4*4180*(85-T_{final})=0.4*2450*(T_{final}-16)\\142120-1672*T_{final}=980*T_{final}-15680\\157800=2652*T_{final}\\T_{final}=59.5[C]

Baseball player A bunts the ball by hitting it in such a way that it acquires an initial velocity of 1.3 m/s parallel to the gro
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

cSep 20, 2010

well, since player b is obviously inadequate at athletics, it shows that player b is a woman, and because of this, she would not be able to hit the ball. The magnitude of the initial velocity would therefore be zero.

First you need to solve for time by using

d=(1/2)(a)(t^2)+(vi)t

1m=(1/2)(9.8)t^2 vertical initial velocity is 0m/s

t=.45 sec

Then you find the horizontal distance traveled by using

v=d/t

1.3m/s=d/.54sec

d=.585m

Then you need to find the time of player B by using

d=(1/2)(a)(t^2)+(vi)t

1.8m=(1/2)(9.8)(t^2) vertical initial velocity is 0

t=.61 sec

Finally to find player Bs initial horizontal velocity you use the horizontal equation

v=d/t

v=.585m/.61 sec

so v=.959m/s

Describe the body's typical state during the first stage of sleep. (Site 1)
Ksju [112]

Answer:

There are four different stages of sleep.

Stage 1 NREM

Explanation:

<em>The process of firmly falling asleep has four stages through which a person goes.</em>

<em>It goes from being awake over light sleep and falling firmly into sleeping.</em>

(STAGE 1)

This is a stage in which there are non-rapid movements of the eyes. In other words, it is a process of dreamless sleep. You enter this stage the moment you decide to sleep and shut your eyes. After several minutes, your body is in fact in the sleeping mode, but not entirely. This means that you can easily be woken up without being aware that you have slept.

Features:

  1. <em>You can easily awake</em>
  2. <em>Your may roll and they may be a little open</em>
  3. <em>The blood pressure and the temperature of the brain start to decrease </em>
  4. <em>You experience the natural human reflexes that the brain sends to assure that the place of your sleep is in a safe environment. By sending twitches to your muscles, your brain may awake your body for several seconds which comes in handy if you are tired and close to sleep on work or some dangerous place like a cliff for example.</em>
  5. <em>Your breading starts to slow down alongside with your pressure and temperature, and your heartbeats slow down.</em>
