Answer:

Mass of the aluminium chunk = 278.51 g

Explanation:

For an isolated system as given the energy lost and gains in the system will be zero therefore sum of all transfer of energy will be zero,as the temperature will also remain same

A specific heat formula is given as

Energy Change = Mass of liquid x Specific Heat Capacity x Change in temperature

Q = m×c×ΔT

Heat gain by aluminium + heat lost by copper = 0 (1)

For Aluminium:

Q = $m\times0.897\frac{J}{g.k}\times(25-5)$

Q = m x 17.94 joule

For Copper:

$Q= 206g\times0.385\frac{J}{g.k} \times(88-25)$

Q= 4996.53 Joule

from eq 1

m x 17.94 = 4996.53

$mass of aluminium = \frac{4996.53}{17.94} g$

Mass of the aluminium chunk = 278.51 g

Who is responsible of refraction light 1/3 in eye

alexandr1967 [171]

The cornea is responsible of refraction light 1/3 in eye.

<h3>What is the function of the cornea?</h3>

In addition to the protective function, it plays a fundamental role in the formation of vision. Transparent, it works like a lens over the iris, focusing light from the pupil towards the retina.

Normally, the cornea and lens deflect (refract) incoming light rays, focusing them on the retina. The shape of the cornea is fixed, but the lens changes shape to focus on objects at different distances from the eye.

The law of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of interacting objects does not change . This means the total

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The momentum of an object is equal to the product of its mass and its velocity.

Explanation:

Consider an object of mass $m$ travelling at a velocity $\vec{v}$ . The momentum $\vec{p}$ of this object would be:

$\vec{p} = m \cdot \vec{v}$ .

For the law of conservation of momentum, consider two objects: object $\rm a$ and object $\rm b$ . Assume that these two objects collided with each other.

Let $m_{\rm a}$ and $m_{\rm b}$ denote the mass of the two objects.
Let $\vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{initial})$ and $\vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{initial})$ denote the velocity of the two object right before the interaction.
Let $\vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{final})$ and $\vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{final})$ denote the velocity of the two objects right after the interaction.

The momentum of the two objects right before the collision would be $m_{\rm a}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{initial})$ and $m_{\rm b}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{initial})$ , respectively.
The momentum of the two objects right after the collision would be $m_{\rm a}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{final})$ and $m_{\rm b}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{final})$ , respectively.

The sum of the momentum of the two objects would be:

$m_{\rm a}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{initial}) + m_{\rm b}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{initial})$ right before the collision, and
$m_{\rm a}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{final}) + m_{\rm b}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{final})$ right after the collision.

Assume that the system of these two objects is isolated. By the law of conservation of momentum, the sum of the momentum of these two objects should be the same before and after the collision. That is:

$m_{\rm a}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{initial}) + m_{\rm b}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{initial}) = m_{\rm a}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{final}) + m_{\rm b}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{final})$ .

Compute the ratio of the rate of heat loss through a single-pane window with area 0.15 m2 to that for a double-pane window with

Rudik [331]

Answer:

2.80321285141

Explanation:

$L_g$ = Thickness of glass = 4.5 mm

$k_g$ = Thermal conductivity of glass = 0.8 W/mK

$R_0$ = Combined thermal resistance = $0.15\times m^2K/W$

$L_a$ = Thickness of air = 6.6 mm

$k_a$ = Thermal conductivity of air = 0.024 W/mK

The required ratio is the inverse of total thermal resistance

$\dfrac{2(L_g/k_g)+R_0+(L_a/k_a)}{(L_g/k_g)+R_0}\\ =\dfrac{2(4.5\times 10^{-3}/0.8)+0.15+(6.6\times 10^{-3}/0.024)}{(4.5\times 10^{-3}/0.8)+0.15}\\ =2.80321285141$

The ratio is 2.80321285141
