A metal ball of mass 100 g is heated to 90°C and then cooled to 25°C. The heat lost in the process is 2.5 kJ. Another metal ball

of mass 200 g is heated to 90°C and then cooled to 25°C. The heat lost in the process is 5.0 kJ. What can be concluded from the data?

Answer:

( B )  The first ball is made of a material with a higher specific heat.

Explanation:

kobusy [5.1K]3 years ago

Explanation:

q = mCΔT

where q is heat,

m is mass,

C is specific heat capacity,

and ΔT is temperature change.

For the first ball:

2500 J = (100 g) C (90°C − 25°C)

C = 0.385 J/g/°C

For the second ball:

5000 J = (200 g) C (90°C − 25°C)

C = 0.385 J/g/°C

The two metals have the same specific heat, and are likely the same metal (possibly copper or zinc).

a 1600 kg car on flat ground is moving 6.25 m/s. its engine creates 1150 N forward force as the car moves 45.8 m. what is it fin
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

83,900 J

Explanation:

First, find the acceleration:

F = ma

1150 N = (1600 kg) a

a = 0.719 m/s²

Now find the final velocity.

Given:

Δx = 45.8 m

v₀ = 6.25 m/s

a = 0.719 m/s²

Find: v

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

v² = (6.25 m/s)² + 2 (0.719 m/s²) (45.8 m)

v = 10.2 m/s

Now find the final KE:

KE = ½ mv²

KE = ½ (1600 kg) (10.2 m/s)²

KE = 83,920 J

Rounded to three significant figures, the final kinetic energy is 83,900 J.

If a snowboarder’s initial speed is 4 m/s and comes to rest when making it to the upper level. With a slightly greater initial s
Brrunno [24]

(a) At a corresponding hill on Earth and a lesser gravity on planet Epslion, the height of the hill will cause a reduction in the initial speed of the snowboarder from 4 m/s to a value greater than zero (0).

(b) If the initial speed at the bottom of the hill is 5 m/s, the final speed at the top of the hill be greater than 3 m/s.

<h3>Conservation of mechanical energy</h3>

The effect of height  and gravity on speed on the given planet Epislon is determined by applying the principle of conservation of mechanical energy as shown below;

ΔK.E = ΔP.E

¹/₂m(v²- u²) = mg(hi - hf)

¹/₂(v²- u²) = g(0 - hf)

v² - u² = -2ghf

v² = u² - 2ghf

where;

  • v is the final velocity at upper level
  • u is the initial velocity
  • hf is final height
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

when u² = 2gh, then v² = 0,

when gravity reduces, u² > 2gh, and v² > 0

Thus, at a corresponding hill on Earth and a lesser gravity on planet Epslion, the height of the hill will cause a reduction in the initial speed of the snowboarder from 4 m/s to a value greater than zero (0).

<h3>Final speed</h3>

v² = u² - 2ghf

where;

  • u is the initial speed = 5 m/s
  • g is acceleration due to gravity and its less than 9.8 m/s²
  • v is final speed
  • hf is equal height

Since g on Epislon is less than 9.8 m/s² of Earth;

5² - 2ghf > 3 m/s

Thus, if the initial speed at the bottom of the hill is 5 m/s, the final speed at the top of the hill be greater than 3 m/s.

A slab of glass has a 0.600 cm thick layer of water on top of it. A light ray strikes the water at an incident angle of 59.0°. A
Dimas [21]

Answer:

49.63 degree

Explanation:

thickness of glass slab, t = 0.6 cm

angle of incidence = 59 degree

Let r be the angle of refraction

The refractive index of glass, ng = 3/2

refractive index of water, nw = 4/3

refarctive index of glass with respect to water = ng / nw = 3 /2 ÷ 4 /3 = 9 / 8

So, by use of Snell's law

Refractive index of glass with respect to water = Sin i / Sin r

9 / 8 = Sin 59 / Sin r

9 / 8 = 0.857 / Sin r

Sin r = 0.7619

r = 49.63 degree
