Which illustration represent the substance at a higher temperature? Explain.

mamaluj [8]

The addition of heat energy to a system always causes the temperature of that system to increase. This is always true because you are adding heat of a substance to increase its temperature. For example, you are going to drink a cup of coffee. And you wanted it hot to boost your attention. So you have to use hot water. In order for your water to become hot or warm, you need boil it in a kettle. Note that you are going to use an electric stove. The electric stove gets it energy from the source giving it a hotter temperature to the water in the kettle. You are applying heat energy to warm the water. So, the statement is true.

Serga [27]

Answer:

$q = 6.48 \times 10^{-14} C$

Explanation:

Deflection in the drop is due to electric field force

so we will have

$F = qE$

acceleration of the drop is given as

$a = \frac{qE}{m}$

$a = \frac{q(7.75 \times 10^4)}{1.00 \times 10^{-11}}$

$a = 7.75 \times 10^{15} q$

now we know that time to cross the plates is given as

$t = \frac{D}{v}$

$t = \frac{0.02}{18}$

$t = 1.11 \times 10^{-3} s$

now the deflection is given as

$d = \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$0.310 \times 10^{-3} = \frac{1}{2}(7.75 \times 10^{15} q)(1.11 \times 10^{-3})^2$

$0.310 \times 10^{-3} = 4.78 \times 10^9 q$

$q = 6.48 \times 10^{-14} C$

Shay reacts solid zinc and aqueous copper sulfate to form aqueous zinc sulfate and solid copper. If he reacts 10.1 grams of zinc

zhenek [66]

Answer:

Now since mass of reactant is equal to mass of the product after the reaction so we can say that mass conservation is applicable here

Explanation:

As we know that zinc reacts with copper sulfate

so the reaction is given as

$Zn + CuSO_4 --> ZnSO_4 + Cu$

so here we have

$Zn = 10.1 g$

$CuSO_4 = 18.6 g$

$ZnSO_4 = 20 g$

$Cu = 8.7 g$

Now total mass of reactant is given as

$M_1 = 10.1 + 18.6 = 28.7 g$

Mass of the product is given as

$M_2 = 20 + 8.7 = 28.7 g$

Now since mass of reactant is equal to mass of the product after the reaction so we can say that mass conservation is applicable here

A 28-kg beginning roller skater is standing in front of a wall. By pushing against the wall, she is propelled backward with a ve

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

33.6 Ns backward.

Explanation:

Impulse: This can be defined as the product of force and time. The S.I unit of impulse is Ns.

From Newton's second law of motion,

Impulse = change in momentum

I = mΔv................................. Equation 1

Where I = impulse, m = mass of the skater, Δv = change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity.

Given: m = 28 kg, t = 0.8 s, Δv = -1.2-0 = -1.2 m/s (Note: the initial velocity of the skater = 0 m/s)

Substituting into equation 1

I = 28(-1.2)

I = -33.6 Ns

Thus the impulse = 33.6 Ns backward.

Point masses m1 m2 are placed at opposite ends

tiny-mole [99]

(a) $x = \frac{m_2L}{m_1+m_2}$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Moment of Inertia of m₁ about the axis, I₁ = m₁x²

Moment of Inertia of m₂ about the axis. I₂ = m₂ (L - x)²

Kinetic energy is rotational.

Total kinetic energy is $E = \frac{1}{2} I_1w_0^2 + \frac{1}{2}I_2w_0^2 = \frac{1}{2} w_0^2(m_1x^2 + m_2(L-x)^2)$

Work done is change in kinetic energy.

To minimize E, differentiate wrt x and equate to zero.

$m_1x - m_2(L-x) = 0\\\\x = \frac{m_2L}{m_1+m_2}$

Alternatively, work done is minimum when the axis passes through the center of mass.

Center of mass is at $\frac{m_2L}{m_1 + m_2}$
