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

Computers A and B implement the same ISA. Computer A has a clock cycle time of 200 ps and an effective CPI of 1.5 for some progr
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Computer A is 1.41 times faster than the Computer B

Explanation:

Assume that number of instruction in the program is 1

Clock time  of computer A is CT_{A} =200 ps

Clock time  of computer B is CT_{B} =250 ps

Effective CPI of computer A is CPI_{A} =1.5

Effective CPI of computer B isCPI_{B} =1.7

CPU time of A is

CPU_{time}=instructions \times CPA_{A} \times CT_{A}\\CPU_{time}=1 \times 1.5 \times 200=300 sec

CPU time of B is

CPU_{time}=instructions \times CPA_{B} \times CT_{B}\\CPU_{time}=1 \times 1.7 \times 250=425 sec

Hence Computer A is Faster by \frac{425}{300} =1.41

Computer A is 1.41 times faster than the Computer B
