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 circuit is built based on this circuit diagram. What is the equivalent resistance of the circuit?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
The three resistors are connected to the same points of the circuit, so they are in parallel configuration. The equivalent resistance of 3 resistors in parallel is given by:
\frac{1}{R_{eq}}= \frac{1}{R_1}+ \frac{1}{R_2}+ \frac{1}{R_3}
If we plug the values of the resistances into the formula, we find
\frac{1}{R_{eq}}= \frac{1}{3.0 \Omega}+ \frac{1}{6.0 \Omega}+ \frac{1}{9.0 \Omega}= \frac{6+3+2}{18.0 \Omega} = \frac{11}{18.0 \Omega}
From which we find the equivalent resistance:
R_{eq} =  \frac{18.0}{11} \Omega =1.6 \Omega

So, the correct answer is B.

A ) v = v o + a t  ( the acceleration will be negative )
9.50 = 16.0 + a * 1.2
a * 1.2 = -16.0 + 9.50
a * 1.2 = - 6.5 
a = - 6.5 : 1.2
a = - 5.4167 m/s²
F = m * a = 950 kg * 5.4167 m/s²
F = 5,145.8 N ( the average force exerted on a car during braking )

Explain why wedges and screws are actually types of inclined planes.
slava [35]
<span>The screw is really just an inclined plane covered around with a tiny pole. The wedge is definitely an inclined plane, since it starts with a point, then rises getting thicker, as an inclined plane. </span>

For a bronze alloy, the stress at which plastic deformation begins is 294 MPa and the modulus of elasticity is 121 GPa. (a) What
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

a) load in Newton is 96,138 b) 129.314mm

Explanation:

Stress = force/ area (cross sectional area of the bronze)

Force(load) = 294*10^6*327*10^-6 = 96138N

b) modulus e = stress/ strain

Strain = stress/ e = (294*10^6)/ (121*10^ 9) = 2.34* 10^ -3

Strain = change in length/ original length = DL/ 129

Change in length DL = 129 * 2.34*10^ -3 = 0.31347

Maximum length = change in length + original length = 129.314mm
