Suppose a 50.0 g block of silver (specific heat = 0.2350 J/g·°C) at 100.°C is placed in contact with a 50.0 g block of iron (spe

cific heat = 0.4494 J/g·°C) at 0.00°C, and the two blocks are insulated from the rest of the universe. The final temperature of the two blocks will be:

Answer:

34.34 °C

Explanation:

From the question,

Heat lost by the silver block = heat gained by the iron block.

cm(x-y) = c'm'(y-z)................... Equation 1

Where c = specific heat capacity of the silver block, m = mass of the silver block, c' = specific heat capacity of the iron, m' = mass of the iron. x = initial temperature of the silver block, z = initial temperature of the iron,  y = final temperature of the mixture.

make y the subject of the equation

y = (cmx+c'm'z)/(cm+c'm')............... Equation 2

Given: c = 50 g, c = 0.2350 J/g·°C, x = 100°C, m' = 50 g, c' = 0.4494 J/g.°C, z = 0°C

Substitute these values into equation 2

y = [(50×0.2350×100)+(50×0.4494×0)]/[(50×0.2350)+(50+0.4494)]

y = 1175/(11.75+22.47)

y = 1175/34.22

y = 34.34 °C

An airplane is flying from Dallas, Texas to Pensacola, Florida. Flying at maximum velocity, it encounters strong winds moving at
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

G. It will take twice as long.

Explanation:

Let's call v the original speed of the plane and d the distance between Dallas and Pensacola. The time the plane originally takes to complete the flight is

t=\frac{d}{v}

In this problem, we are told that the plane encounters wind moving at half of its speed: \frac{v}{2}, in the opposite direction. This means that the new speed of the plane is

v'=v-\frac{v}{2}=\frac{v}{2}

And so, the time the plane takes now to complete the flight is

t'=\frac{d}{v/2}=2\frac{d}{v}=2t

So, the plane takes twice the time as before.

What is a period in physics?<br>​
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

The period of a wave is the time for a particle on a medium to make one complete vibrational cycle. Period, being a time, is measured in units of time such as seconds, hours, days or years. The period of orbit for the Earth around the Sun is approximately 365 days; it takes 365 days for the Earth to complete a cycle.
