Answer:

Q = 48341.7 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass, m = 257g

Initial temperature, T1 = 18°C

Final temperature, T2 = 63°C

Specific heat capacity of water, c = 4.18 J/g°C.

*To find the quantity of heat absorbed*

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

$Q = mcdt$

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

dt = T2 - T1

dt = 63 - 18

dt = 45°C

Substituting the values into the equation, we have;

$Q = 257*4.18*45$

Q = 48341.7 Joules.

Therefore, the amount of heat absorbed is 48341.7 Joules.

A roller skater of 47kg moving with a velocity of 12 m/s to the east picks up a bag of 6.0 kg. What is the final velocity of the

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

v_f = 10.85 m/s

Explanation:

We will apply the law of conservation of momentum here:

$m_{1}v_{1i} + m_{2}v_{2i} = m_{1}v_{1f}+m_{2}v_{2f}\\$

where,

m₁ = mass of roller skater = 47 kg

m₂ = mass of bag = 6 kg

v_1i = initial speed of roller skater = 12 m/s

v_2i = initial speed of the bag = 0 m/s

v_1f = final speed of the roller skater = ?

v_2f = final speed of the bag = ?

Both the bag and the skater will have same speed at the end because kater is carrying the bag:

v_1f = v_2f = v_f

Therefore, the equation will become:

$(47\ kg)(12\ m/s)+(6\ kg)(0\ m/s)=(47\ kg)(v_{f})+(5\ kg)(v_{f})\\564\ N.s = (47\ kg+5\ kg)(v_{f})\\v_{f} = \frac{564\ N.s}{52\ kg}\\$

v_f = 10.85 m/s

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

20cm

Explanation:

A coil wire comprises of 5 turns, it has a current of 2mA 

A net magnetic field at the center of B is equal to Mu over 40 end fractions times T

The radius of a coil of wire with N turns is r = 0.28 m. A clockwise current of Icoil = 1.0 A flows in the coil,

Therefore 40/2mA = 20

If an object is projected upward from ground level with an initial velocity of 160 ft per sec, then its height in feet after t

sesenic [268]

Answer:

Time will be 5 sec

And maximum height will be 1200 feet

Explanation:

We have given that initial velocity of the object u = 160 ft/sec'

Function of height $s(t)=-16t^2+160t$

Take derivative of the distance

We know that first derivative of distance is velocity

So $v(t)=-32t+160$

At maximum height we know that velocity is zero

So $-32t+160=0$

t = 5 sec

So it will take 5 sec to reach maximum height

Now maximum height will occur at t = 5 sec

So maximum height = $16\times 5^2+160\times 5=1200feet$

denis-greek [22]

Based on the given statement or reasoning above made by a student, what makes her reasoning incorrect is the part where she mentioned that "if they had not been built, she would not be exposed to radioactivity." This is definitely false. What makes this incorrect is that background radiation is a kind of radiation that is emitted by the sun, stars, and other bodies outside the universe and therefore, no one can escape from this. Hope this helps.
