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

Enter a curve slower than the posted speed if your vehicle has a high center of gravity or if surface _____________ is less than

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Traction

Explanation:

Enter a curve slower than the posted speed if your vehicle has a high center of gravity or if surface Traction is less than ideal.

Traction is an act of drawing or pulling something over a surface specially a road or a track or it also defined as the grip of a tire on road or a wheel on rail. So speed when entering a curve should be slower when the tire has low traction to avoid accident.

what was the acceleration of the cart with Low fan speed cm/s squared? what was the acceleration of the cart with medium fan spe

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Explanation:

The attached figure shows data for the cart speed, distance and time.

For low fan speed,

Distance, d = 500 cm

Time, t = 7.4 s

Average velocity,

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{500}{7.4}\\\\v=67.56\ cm/s$

Acceleration,

$a=\dfrac{v}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{67.56}{7.4}\\\\a=9.12\ cm/s^2$

For medium fan speed,

Distance, d = 500 cm

Time, t = 6.4 s

Average velocity,

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{500}{6.4}\\\\v=78.12\ cm/s$

Acceleration,

$a=\dfrac{v}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{78.12}{6.4}\\\\a=12.2\ cm/s^2$

For high fan speed,

Distance, d = 500 cm

Time, t = 5.6 s

Average velocity,

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{500}{5.6}\\\\v=89.28\ cm/s$

Acceleration,

$a=\dfrac{v}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{89.28}{5.6}\\\\a=15.94\ cm/s^2$

Hence, this is the required solution.

When must a psychological researcher debrief human test subjects?

myrzilka [38]

<span>Psychological researchers must debrief human test subjects </span><span>at the end of every experiment.

The current code of ethics in p</span>sychological research states that researchers absolutely must debrief human test subjects at the end of every study regardless or whether or not harm or deception was involved.

Debriefing a subject after a study is an essential opportunity for the researcher to explain the purpose and aim of the study to the subject, make sure the subject is not harmed or mentally disturbed, clarify why deception was used (if deception was involved) and overall, to clarify any questions or doubts the subject might have.
