Answer:

The specific heat for the metal is 0.466 J/g°C.

Explanation:

Given,

Q = 1120 Joules

mass = 12 grams

T₁ = 100°C

T₂ = 300°C

The specific heat for the metal can be calculated by using the formula

Q = (mass) (ΔT) (Cp)

ΔT = T₂ - T₁ = 300°C  - 100°C   = 200°C

Substituting values,

1120 = (12)(200)(Cp)

Cp = 0.466 J/g°C.

Therefore, specific heat of the metal is 0.466 J/g°C.

Question Continuation

Derive an expression for x in terms of m, M, and D. b) If the net force is zero a distance ⅔D from the planet, what is the ratio R of the mass of the planet to the mass of the moon, M/m?

Answer:

a. x = (D√M/m)/(√M/m + 1)

b. The ratio R of the mass of the planet to the mass of the moon=4:1

Explanation:

Given

m = Mass of moon

M = Mass of the planet

D = Distance between the centre of the planet and the moon

Net force = 0

Let Y be a point at distance x from the planet

Let mo = mass at point Y

a.

Derive an expression for x in terms of m, M and D.

Formula for Gravitational Force is

F = Gm1m2/r²

Y = D - x

Force on rest mass due to mass M (FM) =Force applied on rest mass due to m (Fm)

FM = G * mo * M/x²

Fm = G * mo * m/Y²

Fm = G * mo * m/(D - x)²

FM = Fm = 0 ------ from the question

So,

G * mo * M/x² = G * mo * m/(D - x)² ----- divide both sides by G * mo

M/x² = m/(D - x)² --- Cross Multiply

M * (D - x)² = m * x²

M/m = x²/(D - x)² ---_ Find square roots of both sides

√(M/m) = x/(D - x) ----- Multiply both sides by (D - x)

(D - x)√(M/m) = x

D√(M/m) - x√(M/m) = x

D√(M/m) = x√(M/m) + x

D√(M/m) = x(√(M/m) + 1) ------- Divide both sides by √M/m + 1

x = (D√M/m)/(√M/m + 1)

b. Here x = ⅔D

FM = G * mo * M/x²

Fm = G * mo * m/(D - x)²

FM = Fm

G * mo * M/x² = G * mo * m/(D - x)² ----- divide both sides by G * mo

M/x² = m/(D - x)² --- (Substitute ⅔D for x)

M/(⅔D)² = m/(D - ⅔D)²

M/(4D/9) = m/(⅓D)²

9M/4D = m/(D/9)

9M/4D = 9m/D ---- Divide both side by 9/D

M/4 = m

M = 4m

M/m = 4

M:m = 4:1

So, the ratio R of the mass of the planet to the mass of the moon=4:1
