You place a 500 g block of an unknown substance in an insulated container filled 2 kg of water. The block has an initial tempera

ture of 50 degrees C. The water is initially at 20 degrees C. If the equilibrium temperature of the block and water is 25 degrees C, what is the specific heat of the block? The specific heat of water is 4186 J. kg K. 3349 J, kg C 1189 J, kg C 5545 J, kg C 750 J/kg C 2080 J/kg C

Answer:

3349J/kgC

Explanation:

Questions like these are properly handled having this fact in mind;

  • Heat loss = Heat gained

Quantity of heat = mcΔ∅

m = mass of subatance

c = specific heat capacity

Δ∅ = change in temperature

m₁c₁(∅₂-∅₁) = m₂c₂(∅₁-∅₃)

m₁ = mass of block = 500g = 0.5kg

c₁  = specific heat capacity of unknown substance

∅₂ = block initial temperature = 50oC

∅₁ = equilibrium temperature of block and water after mix= 25oC

m₂= mass of water = 2kg

c₂ = specific heat capacity of water = 4186J/kg C

∅₃ = intial temperature of water = 20oC

0.5c₁(50-25) = 2 x 4186(25-20)

And we can find c₁ which is the unknown specific heat capacity

c₁ = \frac{2*4186*5}{0.5*25}= 3348.8J/kg C≅ 3349J/kg C

When the palmaris longus muscle in the forearm is flexed, the wrist moves back and forth. If the muscle generates a force of 49.
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

1.1397 Nm

Explanation:

When the palmaris longus muscle in the forearm is flexed, the wrist moves back and forth.

If the muscle generates a force

F =  49.5 N and r = 2.65 cm , then the torque is equal to rF

we see that r = 2.65 cm = 0.0265 m

therefore

torque = 0.0265 x 49.5

= 1.1397 Nm

What is the relationship between distance and sound wave return time?
nekit [7.7K]
The time for the echo to return is directly proportional to the distance. vw = fλ. In a given medium under fixed conditions, vw is constant, so that there is a relationship between f and λ; the higher the frequency, the smaller the wavelength.
