A group of students decides to set up an experiment in which they will measure the specific heat of a small amount of metal. The

metal has a mass of about 5 grams.
They hang the metal in a beaker of boiling water for a long time (10 minutes or so). Then, they very quickly (within a few seconds) remove the metal from the boiling water and transfer it to a styrofoam cup of 150 mL of water at room temperature. There is a thermometer in the styrofoam cup. They know that the rise in temperature will tell them what they need to know in order to determine the specific heat of the metal, so they watch the thermometer closely... but nothing happens. The temperature does not appear to change at all.

Each student has a different suggestion for how to improve the experiment. Which of the suggestions is least likely to help?

A. Use less room temperature water in the styrofoam cup
B. Use more metal (50 grams instead of 5 grams)
C. Use more boiling water in the first beaker
D. Use a more sensitive thermometer.

The pilot might be correct (I think), because, if the gravity of the planet is strong, then the planet’s gravity will pull the spaceship into its orbit, so the engines don’t need to be on for the ship to get pushed toward the planet.

Convertir:<br> A. 3Km a m<br> B. 250 ma Km<br> C. 1000Cm a m<br> D. 10000 mm a Cm
Katen [24]

Answer:

A. 3,000,000 m

B. 0.25 km

C. 10 m

D. 1,000 cm

Explanation:

no hablo español, así que solo ingrese esto en el traductor de G*ogle

A. One kilometer equals 1000 meters, so

3,000*1,000 = 3,000,000 m

B. One meter equals 0.001 kilometer, so

250*0.001 = 0.25 km

C. One centimeter equals 0.01 meter

1,000*0.01 = 10 m

D. One milimeter equals 0.1 centimer, so

10,000*0.1 = 1,000

You find it takes 200 N of horizontal force tomove an unloaded pickup truck along a level road at a speed of2.4 m/s. You then lo
IgorC [24]

ANSWER:

F(h)= 230 N is the horizontal force you will need to move the pickup along the same road at the same speed.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

F(h) is Horizontal Force = 200 N

V is Speed = 2.4 m/s

The total weight increase by 42%

coefficient of rolling friction decrease by 19%

Since the velocity is constant so acceleration is zero; a=0

Now the horizontal force required to move the pickup is equal to the frictional force.

F(h) = F(f)

F(h) = mg* u

m is mass

g is gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

200 = mg*u

Since weight increases by 42% and friction coefficient decreases by 19%

New weight = 1+0.42 = 1.42 = (1.42*m*g)

New friction coefficient = μ = 1 - 0.19 = 0.81 = 0.81 u

F(h) = (0.81μ) (1.42 m g)

       = (0.81) (1.42) (μ m g)

       = (0.81) (1.42) (200)

       = 230 N

A boy is playing with a ball of mass 72g attached to a string. He is moving it at constant speed in a horizontal circle of radiu
irina [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

radius of circle r = 0.9 m.

(a ) In a motion on circular path , work done is zero because force ( centripetal force ) acts perpendicular to displacement .

( b )

Tension in string T = m ω²r

Putting the values

60 = .072 x ω² x 0.9

ω² = 926

ω = 30.4 rad /s

angle made in 20 revolutions θ = 20 x 2π = 126.6 rad

time taken = θ / ω

= 126.6 / 30.4

= 4.16 s .
