An open circuit is one where the continuity has been broken by an interruption in the path for current to flow. A closed circuit is one that is complete, with good continuity throughout. A device designed to open or close a circuit under controlled conditions is called a switch.

Suppose someone pours 0.250 kg of 20.0ºC water (about a cup) into a 0.500-kg aluminum pan with a temperature of 150ºC. Assume th

Troyanec [42]

Answer : The temperature when the water and pan reach thermal equilibrium short time later is, $59.10^oC$

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

$q_1=-q_2$

$m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)$

where,

$c_1$ = specific heat of aluminium = $0.90J/g^oC$

$c_2$ = specific heat of water = $4.184J/g^oC$

$m_1$ = mass of aluminum = 0.500 kg = 500 g

$m_2$ = mass of water = 0.250 kg = 250 g

$T_f$ = final temperature of mixture = ?

$T_1$ = initial temperature of aluminum = $150^oC$

$T_2$ = initial temperature of water = $20^oC$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$500g\times 0.90J/g^oC\times (T_f-150)^oC=-250g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times (T_f-20)^oC$

$T_f=59.10^oC$

Therefore, the temperature when the water and pan reach thermal equilibrium short time later is, $59.10^oC$

If you had started with a larger mass, how would the half-life change?

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

There is no change, unless your mass is somehow at the quantum level, at which the concept of half-life breaks down.

Half life is a property of the specific radioactive isotope...NOT of the initial sample's mass.

a child riding a bicycle at 15 meters per second accelerates at -3,0 meters per second? for 4.0 seconds. What is the child's spe

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given data

initital velocity u=15m/s

deceleration a=3m/s^2

time t= 4 seconds

final velocity v= ?

Applying the expression

v=u+at------1

substituting our data into the expression we have

v=15+3*4

v=15+12

v=27m/s

The velocity after 4 seconds is 27m/s
