An aluminum cup contains 225 g of water and a 40-g copper stirrer, all at 27°C. A 470-g sample of silver at an initial temperat
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Mal = 0.232 kg = 232 g

Explanation:

mass of water (Mw) = 225 g = 0.225 kg

mass of copper stirrer (Mcu) = 40 g = 0.04 kg

initial temperature of water (Tw) = 27 degrees

mass of silver (Mag) = 470 g = 0.47 kg

initial temperature of silver (Ts) = 85 degrees

final temperature of the mixture (T) = 32 degrees

find the mass of the aluminum cup (Mal)

applying the conservation of energy

((Mal.cAl) + (Mw.cW) + (Mcu.cCu))(ΔTw) = (Mag.cAg)(ΔTag)

we require the specific heat capacities of water (cW) , aluminium (cAl) , copper (cCu) and silver (cAg) which are as follows

water (cW) =4186 J/kg.K

aluminium (cAl) = 900 J/kg.K

copper (cCu) = 387 J/kg.K

silver (cAg) = 234 J/kg.K

now we can put in our values to get the mass of the Aluminium cup (Mag)

((Mal.900) + (0.225 x 4186) + (0.04 x 387))(32-27) = (0.47 x 234)(85-32)

(900 . Mal + 957.33) x 5 = 5828.94

900 .Mal + 957.33 = 1165.79

900.Mal = 1165.79 - 957.33 = 208.5

Mal = 0.232 kg = 232 g

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Question not completed, so I analysed the question first

Tony drove to the mountains last weekend. there was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip took 6 hours. when tony drove home, there was no traffic and the trip only took 4 hours. if his average rate was 22 miles per hour faster on the trip home, how far away does tony live from the mountains?

Explanation:

Let use variables to solve the problems

Let the first trip to be mountain take x hours

Let the trip back home take y hours

Let the speed to while going to the mountain be a miles/hour

Then, while going home it was b miles/hour faster than while going to the mountain.

Then, speed going home is (a+b)miles / hour

The formula for speed is given as

Speed=distance/time

The constant through out the journey is distance, the two journey has the same distance.

Then,

Distance =speed×time

For first journey going to the mountain

Distance = a×x=ax miles

For the second journey going home

Distance =y×(a+b)

Distance Mountain= distance home

ax=y(a+b)

Make a subject of the formula

ax=ya+yb

ax-ya=yb

a(x-y)=yb

a=yb/(x-y)

Therefore, distance from mountain is

Distance=speed ×time

Distance= a×x=ax

Now, applying the questions

So from the questions

x=6hours, y=4hours

Also, b=22miles/hour

Then,

a=yb/(x-y)

a=4×22/(6-4)

a=88/2

a=44miles/hour

Then, the house distance from the mountain is

Distance=ax

Distance =44×6

Distance =264miles

A 3.0 kg object moving 8.0 m/s in the positive x direction has a one-dimensional elastic collision with an object (mass = M) ini
finlep [7]
<h2>Option 2 is the correct answer.</h2>

Explanation:

Elastic collision means kinetic energy and momentum are conserved.

Let the mass of object be m and M.

Initial velocity object 1 be u₁,  object 2 be u₂

Final velocity object 1 be v₁,  object 2 be v₂

Initial momentum = m x u₁ + M x u₂ = 3 x 8 + M x 0 = 24 kgm/s

Final momentum = m x v₁ + M x v₂ = 3 x v₁ + M x 6 = 3v₁ + 6M

Initial kinetic energy = 0.5 m x u₁² + 0.5 M x u₂² = 0.5 x 3 x 8² + 0.5 x M x 0² = 96 J

Final kinetic energy = 0.5 m x v₁² + 0.5 M x v₂² = 0.5 x 3 x v₁² + 0.5 x M x 6² = 1.5 v₁² + 18 M

We have

            Initial momentum = Final momentum

            24 = 3v₁ + 6M

            v₁ + 2M = 8

             v₁ = 8 - 2M

            Initial kinetic energy = Final kinetic energy

            96 = 1.5 v₁² + 18 M

            v₁² + 12 M = 64

Substituting  v₁ = 8 - 2M

           (8 - 2M)² + 12 M = 64    

           64 - 32M + 4M² + 12 M = 64    

            4M² = 20 M

               M = 5 kg

Option 2 is the correct answer.

A 60 kg person sits in a chair. How much does the earth pull on the person? (Acceleration due to gravity is -10m/s2) F = mxa → F
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

<em>600N(downwards)</em>

Explanations

<em>600N(downwards)</em>

Mas of the person = 60kg

Acceleration due to gravity = -10m/s²

To get the earths pull on the person, we will use the Newton second law of motion;

Force = mass * acceleration;

Force = 60 * -10

Force- -600N

<em>Hence the earth gravitational pull on the person is 600N(downwards). It is downwards due to the negative sign.</em>
