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.

A circuit breaker is rated for a current of 25 a rms at a voltage of 240 v rms. (a) what is the largest value of imax that the b
Mademuasel [1]

The largest value of current that the breaker can carry = Imax=35.4A

Explanation:

Rms value of current= Irms= 25 A

The rms current and the maximum current are related as

Imax= √2 Irms

Imax=√2 (25)

Imax=35.4 A

Thus the maximum current carried by the breaker= 35.4 A

Determine the kinetic energy of a 1000-kg roller coaster car that is moving with a speed of 20.0 m/s.
ankoles [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 200000 J

Explanation:

We use the formula of kinetic energy:

The formula to calculate kinetic energy is,

Here,

Ec =1/2 x  m x v^2

The mass of the roller coaster is,  m  =  1000  k g

The speed of the roller coaster is, v = 20.0 m/s

 Therefore,

Ec=1/2 x 1000kg x (20m/s)^2 = 200.000Joule

200,000J

Calculate the frequency of the red light emitted by a neon sign with a wavelength of 690 nm
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

4.35 \times 10^{14} Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of a light is inversely proportional to its wavelength. It is given by:

f = \frac{v}{\lambda}

The speed of the red light, v = 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s

The wavelength of the red light, λ = 690 nm = 690 ×10⁻⁹ m

f = \frac{3.0 \times 10^8 m/s}{690\times 10^{-9}m} = 4.35 \times 10^{14} Hz

Thus, the frequency of red light emitted by neon sign having wavelength 690 nm is 4.35 \times 10^{14} Hz
