the answer to your question is 10.5 kJ
Required Heat = Q
Q = Mass * specific heat of water * change in temp.
Q = 5g * 1g/cal*degC * 20degC
Q = 100 cal of heat is required
To convert calories to Joules,
1 cal = 4.184 Joules
100cal = 418.4 J of heat is needed
Answer: -4.4 m/s
Explanation:
This problem can be solved by the Conservation of Momentum principle, which establishes that the initial momentum
must be equal to the final momentum
:
(1)
Where:
(2)
(3)
is the mass of the child
is the initial velocity of the child
is the mass of the adult
is the initial velocity of the adult (it is sitting still)
is the final velocity of the child
is the final velocity of the adult
Substituting (2) and (3) in (1):
(4)
Isolating
:
(5)
(6)
Finally:
This means the velocity of the child is in the opposite direction
The direction of the friction force is the same than the movement, but its sense is the opposite.
