A system consists of a copper tank whose mass is 13 kg, 4 kg of liquid water, and an electrical resistor of negligible mass. The

system is insulated on its outer surface. Initially, the temperature of the copper is 27oC and the temperature of the water is 50oC. The electrical resistor transfers 120 kJ of energy to the system. Eventually the system comes to equilibrium. Determine the final equilibrium temperature (in oC).

Answer:

T =  30.42°C

Explanation:

According to the conservation of energy principle:

Energy\ Given\ by\ Resistor = Heat\ Gain\ by\ Copper + Heat\ Gain\ by\ Water\\E = m_{c}C_{c}(T_{2c} - T_{1c}) + m_{w}C_{w}(T_{2w} - T_{1w})

E = 120 KJ

mc = mass of copper = 13 kg

Cc = specific heat capacity of copper = 0.385 KJ/kg.°C

T2c = T2w = Final Equilibrium Temperature = T = ?

T1c = Initial Temperature of Copper = 27°C

T1w = Initial Temperature of Water = 50°C

mw = mass of water = 4 kg

Cw = specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 KJ/kg.°C

Therefore,

120\ KJ = (13\ kg)(0.385\ KJ/kg^oC)(T-27^oC) + (4\ kg)(4.2\ KJ/kg^oC)(T-50^oC)\\120\ KJ - 135.135\ KJ - 840\ KJ =  (- 5.005T - 16.8 T)\ KJ/^oC\\T = \frac{-855.135\ KJ}{-28.105\ KJ/^oC}\\

<u>T =  30.42°C</u>

What are the names of the 2 charged particles in an atom and what are their charges
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Protons and electrons

Explanation:

  • The atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
  • The physical and chemical characteristics of an atom are determined by the number of these particle composition.
  • The protons present in the center of an atom called the nucleus is positively charged.
  • The neutrons are also located in the nucleus of an atom with no charge.
  • The electrons has a negative charge and it is placed around the nucleus having different shells and quantum state.
  • The charges of the protons and electrons are denoted by +q and -q. The quantization of these charges are +1, +2, ... and -1, -2, .... etc.

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

correct option is a. True

Explanation:

solution

the noise floor is AWGN ( additive white Gaussian noise )  

and when viewed in the frequency domain, it is the continuous noise level  

because as they have a  uniform power over all the frequency.

 

so that it is additive white Gaussian noise  

as we can say given statement is True  

correct option a true
