M = mass of aluminium = 1.11 kg
= specific heat of aluminium = 900
= initial temperature of aluminium = 78.3 c
m = mass of water = 0.210 kg
= specific heat of water = 4186
= initial temperature of water = 15 c
T = final equilibrium temperature = ?
using conservation of heat
Heat lost by aluminium = heat gained by water
M (
- T) = m
(T -
)
(1.11) (900) (78.3 - T) = (0.210) (4186) (T - 15)
T = 48.7 c
Answer:
, the minus meaning west.
Explanation:
We know that linear momentum must be conserved, so it will be the same before () and after (
) the explosion. We will take the east direction as positive.
Before the explosion we have .
After the explosion we have pieces 1 and 2, so .
These equations must be vectorial but since we look at the instants before and after the explosions and the bomb fragments in only 2 pieces the problem can be simplified in one dimension with direction east-west.
Since we know momentum must be conserved we have:
Which means (since we want and
):
So for our values we have:
