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 1060-kg car moving west at 16 m/s collides with and locks onto a 1830-kg stationary car. determine the velocity of the cars ju
iren [92.7K]
M1U1 + M2V2 = (M1+M2)V, where M1 is the mass of the moving car, M2 is the mass of the stationary car, U1 is the initial velocity, and V is the common velocity after collision.
therefore; 
(1060× 16) + (1830 ×0) = (1060 +1830) V
 16960 = 2890 V
      V = 5.869 m/s
The velocity of the cars after collision will be 5.689 m/s

A fixed container containing an ideal gas is heated. The pressure of the gas increases because:_________
evablogger [386]

A fixed container containing an ideal gas is heated. The pressure of the gas increases because the molecules move faster.

You can speed up the motion of the molecules in a gas by heating it. The pressure will rise and there will be greater impacts on the container's walls.

The container walls are pressed against by the combined force of the collisions. The energy you provide when you heat the gas makes the gas's particles more kinetically energetic and put more pressure on the container.

As the temperature rises, the pressure must as well since pressure is the force the particles per unit of area exert on the container.

Two charges are located in the x-y plane. If q1=-4.55 nC and is located at x=0.00 m, y=0.680 m and the second charge has magnitu
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Ex= -23.8 N/C  Ey = 74.3 N/C

Explanation:

As the  electric force is linear, and the electric field, by definition, is just this electric force per unit charge, we can use the superposition principle to get the electric field produced by both charges at any point, as the other charge were not present.

So, we can first the field due to q1, as follows:

Due  to q₁ is negative, and located on the y axis, the field due to this charge will be pointing upward, (like the attractive force between q1 and the positive test charge that gives the direction to the field), as follows:

E₁ = k*(4.55 nC) / r₁²

If we choose the upward direction as the positive one (+y), we can find both components of E₁ as follows:

E₁ₓ = 0   E₁y = 9*10⁹*4.55*10⁻⁹ / (0.68)²m² = 88.6 N/C (1)

For the field due to q₂, we need first to get the distance along a straight line, between q2 and the origin.

It will be just the pythagorean distance between the points located at the coordinates (1.00, 0.600 m) and (0,0), as follows:

r₂² = 1²m² + (0.6)²m² = 1.36 m²

The magnitude of the electric field due to  q2 can be found as follows:

E₂ = k*q₂ / r₂² = 9*10⁹*(4.2)*10⁹ / 1.36 = 27.8 N/C (2)

Due to q2 is positive, the force on the positive test charge will be repulsive, so E₂ will point away from q2, to the left and downwards.

In order to get the x and y components of E₂, we need to get the projections of E₂ over the x and y axis, as follows:

E₂ₓ = E₂* cosθ, E₂y = E₂*sin θ

the  cosine of  θ, is just, by definition, the opposite  of x/r₂:

⇒ cos θ =- (1.00 m / √1.36 m²) =- (1.00 / 1.17) = -0.855

By the same token, sin θ can be obtained as follows:

sin θ = - (0.6 m / 1.17 m) = -0.513

⇒E₂ₓ = 27.8 N/C * (-0.855) = -23.8 N/C (pointing to the left) (3)

⇒E₂y = 27.8 N/C * (-0.513) = -14.3 N/C (pointing downward) (4)

The total x and y components due to both charges are just the sum of the components of Ex and Ey:

Ex = E₁ₓ + E₂ₓ = 0 + (-23.8 N/C) = -23.8 N/C

From (1) and (4), we can get Ey:

Ey = E₁y + E₂y =  88.6 N/C + (-14.3 N/C) =74.3 N/C
