Introduction: The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of energy needed to change the temperature of that substan

ce by 1 °C. Specific heat capacity can be calculated using the following equation:
q = mc deltaT
In the equation q represents the amount of heat energy gained or lost in joules), m is the mass of the substance (in grams), c is the specific heat capacity of the substance (in J/g °C), and AT is the temperature change of the substance in °C).
Goal: Calculate the specific heat capacities of copper, granite, lead, and ice.
Solve: When you mix two substances, the heat gained by one substance is equal to the heat lost by the other substance. Suppose you place 125 g of aluminum in a calorimeter with 1,000 g of water. The water changes temperature by 2 °C and the aluminum changes temperature by -74.95 °C.
A. Water has a known specific heat capacity of 4.184 J/g °C. Use the specific heat equation to find out how much heat energy the water gained (q).
B. Assume that the heat energy gained by the water is equal to the heat energy lost by the aluminum. Use the specific heat equation to solve for the specific heat of aluminum. Aluminum's accepted specific heat value is 0.900 J/g °C. Use this value to check your work.

Answer:

A) 8,368 J

B) ) 0.893 J/gºC

Explanation:

A)

  • The heat gained by the water can be obtained solving the following equation:

       q_{g} = c_{w} * m *  \Delta T (1)

  • where cw = specific heat of water = 4.184 J/gºC
  • m= mass of water = 1,000 g
  • ΔT = 2ºC
  • Replacing these values in (1) we get:

       q_{g} = c_{w} * m *  \Delta T = 4.184 J/gºC*1,000 g* 2ºC = 8,368 J (2)

B)

  • Assuming that the heat energy gained by the water is equal to the one lost by the aluminum, we can use the same equation, taking into account that the energy is lost by the aluminum, so the sign is negative:  -8,368 J.
  • Replacing by the mass of aluminum (125 g), and the change in temperature (-74.95ºC), in (1), we can solve for the specific heat of aluminum, as follows:

       q_{l} = c_{Al} * m_{Al} *  \Delta T  (3)

⇒    -8,368 J = c_{Al}* 125 g * (-74.95ºC) (4)

       c_{Al} = \frac{-8,368J}{125g*(-74.95ºC} = 0.893 J/gºC (5)

  • which is pretty close to the Aluminum's accepted specific heat value of 0.900 J/gºC.

A 1.0-kg ball is attached to the end of a 2.5-m string to form a pendulum. This pendulum is released from rest with the string h
hram777 [196]

Answer:

v_{2}=3.5 m/s

Explanation:

Using the conservation of energy we have:

\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}=mgh

Let's solve it for v:

v=\sqrt{2gh}

So the speed at the lowest point is v=7 m/s

Now, using the conservation of momentum we have:

m_{1}v_{1}=m_{2}v_{2}

v_{2}=\frac{1*7}{2}

Therefore the speed of the block after the collision is v_{2}=3.5 m/s

I hope it helps you!

Tom says that insulation keeps out the cold. Explain why this statement is incorrect. What should Tom have said?
Zina [86]
There is no such thing as"cold", in the same way that there is no such thing
as "darkness" or "quietness".  "Darkness" is the absence of light, "quietness"
is the absence of sound, and "cold" is the absence of heat.

Tom should have said that insulation <em>keeps the heat in</em> .

☆ Correct and rewrite the following statements:
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

<h3>e)</h3><h3><u>Question</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>
  • Electroplating is based on magnetic effect of electricity.
<h3><u>Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>
  • <em>It's</em><em> </em><em>incorrect</em><em> </em><em>sentence</em><em> </em>
  • As we know that, while electroplating there are two rods, one becoming cathode and another one becoming anode. During electroplating, when electricity is given through the rods, the anode produces positive ions which gets received at the cathode rod and negative ions produced at cathode collects at anode rod which results to the plating of the desired substance. Here, it is a chemical effect of electricity resulting to plating.

<u>So correct sentence is:</u>

  • <em>Electroplating</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>based</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>chemical</em><em> </em><em>effect</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>electricity</em><em>.</em><em> </em>

<h3>f)</h3><h3><u>Question</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>
  • An electric bulb glows due to the chemical effect of electricity.
<h3><u>Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>
  • <em>It's</em><em> </em><em>incorrect</em><em> </em><em>sentence</em><em> </em>
  • As we know that, in an electric bulb there is a filament. When electricity is given in that filament of the electric bulb, the filament gets intensely heated up and results to the emission of light. Due to this heating of the filament due to electricity the electric bulb glows.

<u>So correct sentence is:</u>

  • <em>A</em><em>n electric bulb glows due to the </em><em>h</em><em>e</em><em>a</em><em>t</em><em>i</em><em>n</em><em>g</em><em> </em><em>effect of electricity.</em>

At a particular instant, a proton at the origin has velocity &lt; 5e4, -2e4, 0&gt; m/s. You need to calculate the magnetic field
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

9.7\times 10^{-5} T

Explanation:

Velocity =5\times 10^4i-2\times 10^4j

r=0.03i+0.05j

r=\mid r\mid=\sqrt{(0.03)^2+(0.05)^2}=0.058

v=\mid V\mid=\sqrt{(5\times 10^4)^2+(-2\times 10^{4})^2}=5.39\times 10^{2}

We know that

B=\frac{mv}{qr}

Where q=1.6\times 10^{-19} C

Mass of proton=1.67\times 10^{-27} kg

Using the formula

B=\frac{1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 5.39\times 10^2}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.058}

B=9.7\times 10^{-5} T
