A person pours 330 g of water at 55°C into an 855-g aluminum container with an initial temperature of 10°C. The specific heat of

aluminum is 900 J/(kg・ΕK) and that of water is 4190 J/(kg・ΕK). What is the final temperature of the system, assuming no heat is exchanged with the surroundings?

Answer:

The final temperature of the system is 39⁰C

Explanation:

Applying principle of conservation of heat energy;

Heat loss by a hot body = heat gained by a cold body

m_hc(T_i_h -T) = m_c(T-T_i_c)

where;

Mh is the mass of the hot fluid = 330 g = 0.33 kg

Mc  is the mass of the cold fluid = 855-g = 0.855 kg

Tih is the initial temperature of the hot fluid = 55°C

Tic is the initial temperature of the cold fluid = 10°C

T is the final temperature of the mixture

Substitute the given values and solve for T

m_hc(T_i_h -T) = m_c(T-T_i_c)\\\\0.33*4190(55 -T) = 0.855*900(T-10)\\\\1382.7(55 -T) = 769.5(T-10)\\\\(T-10) = 1.797(55 -T)\\\\T-10 = 98.835 -  1.797T\\\\T+  1.797T = 98.835 + 10\\\\2.797T= 108.835\\\\T = \frac{108.835}{2.797}  = 39^o C

Therefore, the final temperature of the system is 39⁰C

A piano tuner is using a 392 Hz tuning fork to tune the wire for a G-Natural note. She hears 4 beats per second. What are the tw
inysia [295]

A beat is an interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies, perceived as a periodic variation in volume whose rate is the difference of the two frequencies. Frequency beat is equal to,

f_{beat} =| f_2\pm f_1 |

The reference frequency in our case would be 392Hz, and since there is the possibility of the upper and lower range for the amount of beats per second that the two possible frequencies are heard would be

f_{beat} =|392+4|= 396Hz

f_{beat} =|392-4|=388Hz

Therefore the two possible frequencies the piano wire is vibrating at, would be 396Hz and 388Hz
