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>

the net external force on the 24-kg mower is stated to be 51 N. If the force of friction opposing the motion is 24 N, what force
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

PART A)

External force will be 75 N

PART B)

distance moved will be 1.125 m

Explanation:

PART A)

Given that net force on the mower is

F_{net} = 51 N

now we also know that friction force due to ground is given as

F_f = 24 N

now we have

F_{net} = F_{ext} - F_f

51 = F_{ext} - 24

F_{ext} = 75 N

so external force will be 75 N

PART B)

deceleration due to friction when external force is removed from it

a = \frac{F_f}{m}

a = \frac{24}{24} = 1 m/s^2

now we can find the distance by kinematics

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0 - 1.5^2 = 2(-1)d

d = 1.125 m

so the distance moved will be 1.125 m

A car has a mass of 1000 kg and accelerates at 2 m/s2. What net force is exerted on the car?
prisoha [69]

Answer:

1000N

Explanation:

Based on force=mass*acceleration, if the acceleration is constant at 2 metres per second squared, 1,000kg*2m/s^2=2,000N of force.

If the acceleration steadily increases to 2m/s^2 in 20 seconds, take the average which is 1m/s^2 therefore force=1,000N

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

centripetal force

Explanation:

When a person spins a bucket of water in a circle, the force acting on the bucket to keep the water inside is called centripetal force.

The centripetal force is a constant resultant force that acts on an object in circular motion.
