To start a great night of doing physics homework, you sit down to pour yourself a good cup of coffee. Your coffee mug has a mass

137 g and a specific heat of 1089 J/kg K. The mug starts out at room temperature (23.8 o C). Your coffee has an initial temperature of 79.8 oC and has the same specific heat as water (4186 J/kg K).
1) Let's say you pour enough coffee into the mug so that the mass of coffee is equal to the mass of the mug. If we assume that no heat is lost to the outside room, once the mug and coffee reach the same temperature, will that temperature be closer to the initial temperature of the coffee or the initial temperature of the mug? (Notice that the mass of the coffee and the mass of the mug are the same.)
2) What is the final temperature of coffee and mug once they come to thermal equilibrium?
Tfinal = ____________ degrees c
3) Now lets assume that instead of the 137 g of coffee, you pour in 225 g of coffee. What is the final temperature of the coffee and mug? (Again, assume that you loose no heat to the outside.)
Tfinal = ____________ degrees c
4) Now lets say that along with the 225 g of coffee, you pour in 11.7 g of cream in your mug. The cream has an initial temperature of 5.2 oC and also has the same specific heat as water. What is the final temperature of the coffee, cream and mug? (Again, assume that you loose no heat to the outside.)
Tfinal = _____________ degrees c

Answer:

1) The temperature will be closer to water

2) T = 68.239°C

3) T = 72.142°C

4) T = 69.266 °C

Explanation:

1)

The temperature will be closer to water because  the heat capacity of water > heat capacity of coffee.

2)

137(1.089)(T - 23.8) = 137(4.186)(79.8 - T)

⇒(1.089)(T - 23.8) = (4.186)(79.8 - T)

⇒1.089 T - 25.9182 = 334.0428 - 4.186 T

⇒1.089 T +  4.186 T = 334.0428 + 25.9182

⇒5.275 T = 359.961

⇒ T = 68.239°C

3)

137(1.089)(T - 23.8) = 225(4.186)(79.8 - T)

⇒(149.193)(T - 23.8) = (941.85)(79.8 - T)

⇒149.193 T - 3550.7934 = 75159.63 - 941.85 T

⇒149.193 T +  941.85 T = 75159.63  + 3550.7934

⇒1091.043 T = 78710.4234

⇒ T = 72.142°C

4)

137(1.089)(T - 23.8) + 11.7(4.186)(T - 5.2)= 225(4.186)(79.8 - T)

⇒(149.193)(T - 23.8) + 48.9762(T - 5.2) = (941.85)(79.8 - T)

⇒149.193 T - 3550.7934  + 48.9762 T - 254.67624= 75159.63 - 941.85 T

⇒149.193 T +  941.85 T + 48.9762 T = 75159.63  + 3550.7934 + 254.67624

⇒1091.043 T + 48.9762 T = 78710.4234 + 254.67624

⇒1140.0192 T = 78965.09964

⇒ T = 69.266 °C

An object of mass 3.00 kg, moving with an initial velocity of 5.05 m/s, collides with and sticks to an object of mass 2.76 kg wi
Lynna [10]

Answer:

0.752 m/s

Explanation:

m1 = 3.00kg

u1 = 5.05m/s

m2 = 2.76kg

u2 = -3.66m/s

According to the law of conservation of momentum,

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

3(5.05) + 2.76(-3.66) = (5.05+2.76)v

15.15 - 9.2736 = 7.81v

5.8764 = 7.81v

v = 5.8764/7.81

v = 0.752m/s

Q.Solve the following circuit find total resistance RT. Also find value of voltage across resister RC.
Drupady [299]

Answer:

14.57 ohms

Explanation:

Here in the figure ,Rb & R₄are in series  & also  Rc & R₅ are in series. As they are in series , ( Rb + R₄ ) & (Rc & R₅) are in parallel . So the equivalent resistance in that branch = ( 2 + 18 ) ║ ( 3 + 12 )

                                          = 20 ║ 15

                                          = (20×15) / (20 + 15)

                                          = 8.57 ohms

Also Ra ( 6 ohm ) is in series with that branch ,. So the equivalent resistance of the whole circuit = 8.57 + 6 = 14.57 ohms.

Select the statement that best describes gravity.
pav-90 [236]

Explanation:

Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects. It depends upon the mass of the objects and the distance between the objects. Mathematically, the force of gravity is given by :

F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{d^2}

Where

G is the universal gravitational constant

m_1\ and\ m_2 are masses

d is the distance between two masses

So, statement (2) describes gravity "Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects; it is dependent upon the mass of the objects and the distance between the objects".

starting at a position of 0 m, if the man is moving at a constant velocity of 2 m/s, it will take seconds for him to reach a pos
Harman [31]

The calculated time is 6 seconds.

Time is defined by physicists as the flow of events from the past through the present and into the future. In essence, a system is timeless if it is unchanging. When describing events that take place in three-dimensional space, time can be thought of as the fourth dimension of reality. Even if time isn't directly connected to energy, it is undoubtedly connected to many other components of energy. For instance, the movement of energy across the universe can affect the direction of time (from the past to the future).

V= 2 m/s

d=12 m

t=?

we know that velocity=displacement / time

time= displacement / velocity

= 12/2

=6 seconds

the calculated time is 6 seconds.
