Answer:

The samples specific heat is 14.8 J/kg.K

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight = 28.4 N

Suppose, heat energy E=1.25\times10^{4}\ J

Temperature = 18°C

We need to calculate the samples specific heat

Using formula of specific heat

Q=mc\Delta T

c=\dfrac{Q}{m\Delta T}

Where, m = mass

c = specific heat

\Delta T = temperature

Q = heat

Put the value into the formula

c=\dfrac{1.25\times10^{4}}{\dfrac{28.4}{9.8}\times(18+273)}

c=14.8\ J/kg. K

Hence, The samples specific heat is 14.8 J/kg.K

A 2000-kg car moving with a speed of 20 m/s collides with and sticks to a 1500-kg car at rest at a stop sign. Show that because
amid [387]

Answer:

13.33m/s

Explanation:

Given data

m1= 2000kg

u1= 20m/s

m2= 1500kg

u2= 0m/s

v1= 10m/s

Required

The speed of the sticks

We know that  from the expression for the conservation of momentum

m1u1+m2u2= m1v1+m2v2

2000*20+1500*0=2000*10+1500*v2

40000=20000+1500v2

collect like terms

40000-20000= 1500v2

20000= 1500v2

v2= 20000/1500

v2= 13.33 m/s

Hence the velocity of the sticks is 13.33m/s

What from the following list of statements about vectors is definitely true? (section 3.3) The magnitude of a vector can be smal
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

"Magnitude of a vector can be zero only if all components of a vector are zero."

Explanation:

"The magnitude of a vector can be smaller than length of one of its components."

Wrong, the magnitude of a vector is at least equal to the length of a component. This is because of the Pythagoras theorem. It can never be smaller.

"Magnitude of a vector is positive if it is directed in +x and negative if is is directed in -X direction."

False. Magnitude of a vector is always positive.

"Magnitude of a vector can be zero if only one of components is zero."

Wrong. For the magnitude of a vector to be zero, all components must be zero.

"If vector A has bigger component along x direction than vector B, it immediately means, the vector A has bigger magnitude than vector B."

Wrong. The magnitude of a vector depends on all components, not only the X component.

"Magnitude of a vector can be zero only if all components of a vector are zero."

True.

3) connect two lamps to a power supply in series and current drawn from the power supply is is. connect the same two lamps in pa
notka56 [123]

The current drawn by the series circuit is(R₁ + R₂)/R₁R₂  times the current drawn by the parallel circuit.

Let the resistance of the two lamps are R₁ and R₂.

Then the equivalent resistance in series combination is: R = R₁ + R₂.

And,  the equivalent resistance in parallel combination is:

r = R₁R₂/(R₁ + R₂).

So, if the supply voltage is V,

Then, current drown in series combination; i_s = V/R = V/(R₁ + R₂)

And, current drown in parallel combination; i_p = V/r = V(R₁ + R₂)/R₁R₂

So ,\frac{i_s}{i_p} = [ V/(R₁ + R₂)] /[V(R₁ + R₂)/R₁R₂]

=  (R₁ + R₂)/R₁R₂

Hence, the  ratio of current drawn in series and current drown in parallel is  (R₁ + R₂)/R₁R₂.  So, he current drawn by the series circuit is(R₁ + R₂)/R₁R₂  times the current drawn by the parallel circuit.

List the laws of solid friction​
kumpel [21]

Answer:

The force of friction acts in opposite direction in which the surface is having tendency to move.

The force of friction is equal to force applied to surfaces, so long as surface is at rest.
