Answer:
(5) It depends on whether the collision was elastic or inelastic.
Explanation:
Due to the absence of external forces and the fact that masses and initial velocities are known, it is needed to determine if collision is elastic or inelastic. If collision is inelastic, the Momentum Principle is sufficient to calculate final momentum, but if it is elastic, the Momentum Principle should be complemented with the application of the Energy Principle.
Hence, the correct answer is (5).
Answer:
a. closer to 20∘C
Explanation:
= mass of pallet = 50 g = 0.050 kg
= specific heat of pallet = specific heat of iron
= Initial temperature of pellet = 200 C
= mass of water = 50 g = 0.050 kg
= specific heat of water
= Initial temperature of water = 20 C
= Final equilibrium temperature
Also given that
Using conservation of energy
Energy gained by water = Energy lost by pellet
hence the correct choice is
a. closer to 20∘C
15,000J/.15% = 100,000 J
If you want to check,
Multiply 100,000 by .15 and you get 15,000 J
