A iron block with a mass of 4.8 kg initially slides over a rough horizontal surface with a speed of 1.2 m/s. Friction slows the

block to rest. While slowing to rest, 85.0% of the kinetic energy of the block is absorbed by the block itself as internal energy. What is the temperature increase of the block

Answer:

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of block will be converted into heat energy by friction .

Heat energy produced = 1/2 m v²

= .5 x 4.8 x 1.2²

= 3.456 J

85% of energy is converted into heat energy , so heat energy produced

= .85 x 3.456 = 2.9376 J .

If Q heat is given to m mass of object having s as specific heat and Δt is increase in temperature

Q = msΔt

specific heat of iron s = 462 J / kg C

Putting the values ,

2.9376 = 4.8 x 462 x Δt

Δt = 13.24 x 10⁻⁴ ⁰C.

If Star A and Star B have the same absolute magnitude, but Star A is brighter, what does that tell us?
Hatshy [7]
We can conclude that star A is closer to us than star B.

In fact, the absolute magnitude gives a measure of the brightness of the star, if all the stars are placed at the same distance from Earth. So, it's a measure of the absolute luminosity of the star, indipendently from its distance from us: since the two stars have same absolute magnitude, it means that if they were at same distance from Earth, they would appear with same luminosity. Instead, we see star A brighter than star B, and the only explanation is that star A is closer to Earth than star B (the closer the star A, the brigther it is)
