Answer:

$c=1\ J/g^\circ C$

Explanation:

Given that,

Heat required, Q = 8000 J

Mass, m = 400 g

The change in temperature, $\Delta T = 20^{\circ}$

The heat required due to change in temperature is given by :

$Q=mc\Delta T\\\\c=\dfrac{Q}{m\Delta T}\\\\c=\dfrac{8000 }{400\times 20}\\\\c=1\ J/g^\circ C$

So, the specific heat of the substance is $1\ J/g^\circ C$

A 160.-kilogram space vehicle is traveling along a straight line at a constant speed of 800. Meters per second. The magnitude of

natulia [17]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

As force acting on the body is equal to the product of mass and acceleration.

Acceleration is equal to rate of change in velocity.

Here velocity is constant so acceleration is zero.

It means the net force acting on the vehicle is zero.

What is the magnitude of the total acceleration of point A after 2 seconds? The bar starts from rest and has a constant angular

monitta

Answer:

a_total = 2 √ (α² + w⁴) , a_total = 2,236 m

Explanation:

The total acceleration of a body, if we use the Pythagorean theorem is

a_total² = a_T²2 + $a_{c}$ ²

where

the centripetal acceleration is

a_{c} = v² / r = w r²

tangential acceleration

a_T = dv / dt

angular and linear acceleration are related

a_T = α r

we substitute in the first equation

a_total = √ [(α r)² + (w r² )²]

a_total = 2 √ (α² + w⁴)

Let's find the angular velocity for t = 2 s if we start from rest wo = 0

w = w₀ + α t

w = 0 + 1.0 2

w = 2.0rad / s

we substitute

a_total = r √(1² + 2²) = r √5

a_total = r 2,236

In order to finish the calculation we need the radius to point A, suppose that this point is at a distance of r = 1 m

a_total = 2,236 m

A fire hose held near the ground shoots water at a speed of 6.5 m/s. At what angle(s) should the nozzle point in order that the

valina [46]

The speed of water can be split into vertical and horizontal speed components:
$v_x = 6.5 cos \theta \\ v_y = 6.5 sin \theta$

Due to the force of gravity, the y component will be parabolic. The x component will be linear:
$y(t) = -4.9t^2 + (6.5sin \theta) t \\ \\ x(t) = (6.5 cos \theta) t$
To find when the water hits the ground 2.5m away, set y= 0 and x = 2.5
$-4.9t^2 + (6.5sin \theta) t=0 \\ \\ t = \frac{6.5}{4.9} sin \theta \\ \\(6.5 cos \theta)(\frac{6.5}{4.9} sin \theta) = 2.5 \\ \\ sin \theta cos \theta = 0.29 \\ \\ sin 2\theta = 0.58 \\ \\ 2\theta = 35.4, 144.6 \\ \\ \theta = 17.7,72.3$
