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.

g a small smetal sphere, carrying a net charge is held stationarry. what is the speed are 0.4 m apart

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

The speed of q₂ is $4\sqrt{10}\ m/s$

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 0.4 m apart

Suppose, A small metal sphere, carrying a net charge q₁ = −2μC, is held in a stationary position by insulating supports. A second small metal sphere, with a net charge of q₂ = −8μC and mass 1.50g, is projected toward q₁. When the two spheres are 0.800m apart, q₂ is moving toward q₁ with speed 20m/s.

We need to calculate the speed of q₂

Using conservation of energy

$E_{i}=E_{f}$

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{i}^2+\dfrac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{r_{i}}=\dfrac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{r_{f}}+\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{f}^2$

$\dfrac{1}{2}m(v_{i}^2-v_{f}^2)=kq_{1}q_{2}(\dfrac{1}{r_{f}}-\dfrac{1}{r_{i}})$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{2}\times1.5\times10^{-3}(20^2-v_{f}^2)=9\times10^{9}\times-2\times10^{-6}\times-8\times10^{-6}(\dfrac{1}{(0.4)}-\dfrac{1}{(0.8)})$

$0.00075(400-v_{f}^2)=0.18
$

$400-v_{f}^2=\dfrac{0.18}{0.00075}$

$-v_{f}^2=240-400$

$v_{f}^2=160$

$v_{f}=4\sqrt{10}\ m/s$

Hence, The speed of q₂ is $4\sqrt{10}\ m/s$

What two factors are a part of thermohaline circulation

Margarita [4]

Answer:

These deep-ocean currents are driven by differences in the water's density, which is controlled by temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline). This process is known as thermohaline circulation.

Oil having a density of 926 kg/m3 floats on water. A rectangular block of wood 3.69 cm high and with a density of 974 kg/m3 floa

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

the position of the wood below the interface of the two liquids is 2.39 cm.

Explanation:

Given;

density of oil, $\rho _o$ = 926 kg/m³

density of the wood, $\rho _{wood}$ = 974 kg/m³

density of water, $\rho _w$ = 1000 kg/m³

height of the wood, h = 3.69 cm

Based on the density of the wood, it will position across the two liquids.

let the position of the wood below the interface of the two liquids = x

Let the wood be in equilibrium position;

$F_{wood} - F_{oil} - F_{water} = 0\\\\\rho _{wood} .gh - \rho _o .g(h-x) - \rho_w .gx = 0\\\\\rho _{wood} .h - \rho _o (h-x) - \rho_w .x = 0\\\\\rho _{wood} .h -\rho _o h + \rho _o x - \rho_w .x =0\\\\h (\rho _{wood} -\rho _o ) = x( \rho_w - \rho _o)\\\\x =h[\frac{ \rho _{wood} -\rho _o }{\rho_w - \rho _o} ]\\\\x = 3.69\ cm \times [\frac{974 - 926}{1000-926} ]\\\\x = 2.39 \ cm$

Therefore, the position of the wood below the interface of the two liquids is 2.39 cm.

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

n = 1.76

Explanation:

According to the rule of ( n1 sin theta1 = n2 sin theta2 )

we know both angles so we insert them to the law and apply n1 = 1

so 1/2 = n2 sin 62 and we get the final answer
