Answer:

C. Overcome Friction

Explanation:

When using any machine usually those with moving parts, you may notice heat forming near the areas where most movement occurs. As friction continues, more energy is used up and released as heat. For that reason, the efficiency of a machine will forever be less than 100%

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Mountains, tops of buildings, and high-flying aircraft are all part of Earth's atmosphere, no matter how high they are. On the other hand, space doesn't belong to our atmosphere, it is outside of it. Having this in mind, the best location to place a telescope used to observe x-rays from stars is in space.

A 300 g glass thermometer initially at 23 ◦C is put into 236 cm3 of hot water at 87 ◦C. Find the final temperature of the thermo

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

$74^{\circ} C$

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of glass, $m=300 g$

$T_1=23^{\circ}$

Volume, $V=236cm^3$

Mass of water= $density\times volume=1\times 236=236 g$

Density of water= $1g/cm^3$

Temperature of hot water, $T=87^{\circ}$

Specific heat of glass, $C_g=0.2cal/g^{\circ}C$

Specific heat of water, $C_w=1 cal/g^{\circ}C$

$Q_{glass}=m_gC_g(T_f-T_1)=300\times 0.2(T_f-23)$

$Q_{water}=m_wC_w(T_f-T)=236\times 1(T_f-87)$

$Q_{glass}+Q_{water}=0$

$300\times 0.2(T_f-23)+236\times 1(T_f-87)$

$60T_f-1380+236T_f-20532=0$

$296T_f=20532+1380=21912$

$T_f=\frac{21912}{296}=74^{\circ} C$

The watt is a rate, similar to something like speed (miles per hour) and other time-interval related measurements.

Specifically, watt means Joules per Second. We are given that the electrical engine has 400 watts, meaning it can make 400 joules per second. If we need 300 kJ, or 3000 Joules, then we can write an equation to solve the time it would take to reach this amount of joules:

w * t = E

w: Watts

t: Time

E: Energy required

(Watts times time is equal to the energy required)

Input our values:

400 * t = 3000

(We need to write 3000 joules instead of 300 kilojoules, since Watts is in joules per second. It's important to make sure your units are consistent in your equations)

Divide both sides by 400 to isolate t:

$\frac{400t}{400}$ = $\frac{3000}{400}$
