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]

A 12-V DC automobile head lamp is to be used on a fishing boat with a 24-V power system. The head lamp is rated at 50 W. A resis
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The  resistance is  R  =  2.88 \ \Omega

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  voltage  rating of the headlamp is  V_1  =  12 \ V

     The  voltage of the power system is  p =  24 \  V

     The  power rating of the headlamp  is  P  =  50 W

Generally the power which the resistor dissipates is mathematically represented as

      P  =  V_L *  I

=>       50 =  12 *  I

=>   I  =  4.1667 \  A

Generally the resistance is

      R  =  \frac{V_1 }{I}

      R  =  \frac{12 }{4.1667}

      R  =  2.88 \ \Omega

A mass of 1.03 kilograms is placed on a horizontal frictionless surface against an uncompressed spring with spring constant 861.
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

5.522 m

Explanation:

Data provided:

Mass, m = 1.03 kg

spring constant, k = 861.1 N/m

Distance by which the spring is compressed, x = 0.36

Thus,

the energy stored in the spring = \frac{1}{2}kx^2

on substituting the values, we get

the energy stored in the spring =  \frac{1}{2}\times861.1\times0.36^2

now,

by the conservation of energy, we have

Potential energy gained by the mass =  Energy gained by the spring

or

mgh = \frac{1}{2}\times861.1\times0.36^2

where,

g is the acceleration due to the gravity

h is the maximum height reached by the mass before falling

on substituting the values in the above relation, we get

1.03 × 9.81 × h = \frac{1}{2}\times861.1\times0.36^2

or

h = 5.522 m
