Answer:

2274 J/kg ∙ K

Explanation:

The complete statement of the question is :

A lab assistant drops a 400.0-g piece of metal at 100.0°C into a 100.0-g aluminum cup containing 500.0 g of water at 15 °C. In a few minutes, she measures the final temperature of the system to be 40.0°C. What is the specific heat of the 400.0-g piece of metal, assuming that no significant heat is exchanged with the surroundings? The specific heat of this aluminum is 900.0 J/kg ∙ K and that of water is 4186 J/kg ∙ K.

m_{m} = mass of metal = 400 g

c_{m} = specific heat of metal = ?

T_{mi} = initial temperature of metal = 100 °C

m_{a} = mass of aluminum cup = 100 g

c_{a} = specific heat of aluminum cup = 900.0 J/kg ∙ K

T_{ai} = initial temperature of aluminum cup = 15 °C

m_{w} = mass of water = 500 g

c_{w} = specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg ∙ K

T_{wi} = initial temperature of water = 15 °C

T = Final equilibrium temperature = 40 °C

Using conservation of energy

heat lost by metal = heat gained by aluminum cup + heat gained by water

m_{m} c_{m} (T_{mi} - T) = m_{a} c_{a} (T - T_{ai}) + m_{w} c_{w} (T - T_{wi} ) \\(400) (100 - 40) c_{m} = (100) (900) (40- 15) + (500) (4186) (40 - 15)\\ c_{m} = 2274 Jkg^{-1}K^{-1}

Which compares the thermal energy found in a piece of coal with the thermal energy found in a newly opened coal mine?
9966 [12]

<span>The thermal energy found in a piece of coal is lesser than in the thermal energy in a newly opened coal mine. The newly opened coal mine requires a greater thermal energy to really open it due to its solid structure. Whereas in a piece of coal, it only requires a lesser amount of thermal energy to extract it.</span>

Consider the following setup with three identical springs, a ruler for length measurements and three known masses and three unkn
svetlana [45]

Answer:

To find the value of the unknown weight, we previously placed the 3 known weights and made a graph of the force against displacement

When hanging the weight is known, we measure the displacement and from the graph we can find the value of the hanging masses

We can also use the equation and multiply the constant K by the displacement and this is the applied weight.

Explanation:

For this problem we will use the translational equilibrium relation

        F –W = 0

        F = W

        W = mg

The spring elastic force is

        F = - k x

We substitute

        k x = m g

Where we see that the force of the spring is equal to the weight of the body.

To find the value of the unknown weight, we previously placed the 3 known weights and made a graph of the force against displacement

When hanging the weight is known, we measure the displacement and from the graph we can find the value of the hanging masses

We can also use the equation and multiply the constant K by the displacement and this is the applied weight.

The average daily demand for component B is 750 units. The average time for waiting during the production process and materials
Greeley [361]

Answer:

4 containers

Explanation:

Given

Average daily demand, d= 750 units

Average time for waiting during production and materials handling, w = 0.15 days

Processing time per container, t = 0.1 days

Container capacity, c = 50 units

Policy variable, α = 5% = 0.05

Number of containers required for component​ B is calculated as follows;

Total Production/Container Capacity.

Total Production = d(w + t)(1 + α)

Total Production = 750 * (0.15 + 0.1) * (1 + 0.05)

Total Production = 196.875

Number of containers = 196.875/50

Number of containers = 3.9375

Number of containers = 4 --- approximated
