A student wished to add a new experiment to Chapter 2 by investigating whether the mass of water changes when it is heated. The

mass of a beaker containing a sample of water at 20°C was 109.44 g. After heating the sample to 60°C, the com- bined mass of the beaker and water was 109.08 g. Do these results contradict the law of conservation of mass? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

mass conservation is valid for all closed system where the mass will remain in the system always

Explanation:

Conservation of mass is applicable everywhere in classical physics

Here we can also apply mass conservation as we know that the initially the beaker and its water content is having total mass of 109.44 g

m_1 = 109.44 g

now when we heated it to higher temperature then its total mass will be lesser than the initial mass this is because some of the water may evaporate from the system.

Here if we repeat the same experiment with closed boundary then we can see that total mass will be conserved

So here mass conservation is valid for all closed system where the mass will remain in the system always

A person is attracted towards the center of the earth by an 800 N gravitational force. The force with which the earth is attract
suter [353]

Answer:

800 N

Explanation:

By Newton's third law which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

So, as the earth attracts the person towards its center, the person attracts the earth towards itself with the same magnitude of force but in the opposite direction.

Since the person is attracted towards the center of the earth by an 800 N gravitational force, the  the earth is attracted toward the person with an 800 N reaction force.

The rocket's acceleration has components \(a_{x}(t)= \alpha t^{2}\) and \(a_{y}(t)= \beta - \gamma t\), where \(\alpha = 2.50 {\
lbvjy [14]
 it is just a matter of integration and using initial conditions since in general dv/dt = a it implies v = integral a dt 
v(t)_x = integral a_{x}(t) dt = alpha t^3/3 + c the integration constant c can be found out since we know v(t)_x at t =0 is v_{0x} so substitute this in the equation to get v(t)_x = alpha t^3 / 3 + v_{0x} 
similarly v(t)_y = integral a_{y}(t) dt = integral beta - gamma t dt = beta t - gamma t^2 / 2 + c this constant c use at t = 0 v(t)_y = v_{0y} v(t)_y = beta t - gamma t^2 / 2 + v_{0y} 
so the velocity vector as a function of time vec{v}(t) in terms of components as[ alpha t^3 / 3 + v_{0x} , beta t - gamma t^2 / 2 + v_{0y} ] 
similarly you should integrate to find position vector since dr/dt = v r = integral of v dt 
r(t)_x = alpha t^4 / 12 + + v_{0x}t + c let us assume the initial position vector is at origin so x and y initial position vector is zero and hence c = 0 in both cases 
r(t)_y = beta t^2/2 - gamma t^3/6 + v_{0y} t + c here c = 0 since it is at 0 when t = 0 we assume 
r(t)_vec = [ r(t)_x , r(t)_y ] = [ alpha t^4 / 12 + + v_{0x}t , beta t^2/2 - gamma t^3/6 + v_{0y} t ]

What does this mean?
Alexeev081 [22]
Well, in some systems the atoms melt or burn or change state like from liquid to gases when they reach a certain temperature. This could decrease the energy in the system.

Countries create quotas and tariffs to increase the volume of trade with their neighbors.
Svetach [21]

Oooooo, that statement is not true.  Countries create quotas and tariffs to <em>LIMIT</em> the volume of trade with other countries, including their neighbors.
