Answer:
d. 37 °C
Explanation:
= mass of lump of metal = 250 g
= specific heat of lump of metal = 0.25 cal/g°C
= Initial temperature of lump of metal = 70 °C
= mass of water = 75 g
= specific heat of water = 1 cal/g°C
= Initial temperature of water = 20 °C
= mass of calorimeter = 500 g
= specific heat of calorimeter = 0.10 cal/g°C
= Initial temperature of calorimeter = 20 °C
= Final equilibrium temperature
Using conservation of heat
Heat lost by lump of metal = heat gained by water + heat gained by calorimeter
a) 120 s
b) v = 0.052R [m/s]
Explanation:
a)
The period of a revolution in a simple harmonic motion is the time taken for the object in motion to complete one cycle (in this case, the time taken to complete one revolution).
The graph of the problem is missing, find it in attachment.
To find the period of revolution of the book, we have to find the time between two consecutive points of the graph that have exactly the same shape, which correspond to two points in which the book is located at the same position.
The first point we take is t = 0, when the position of the book is x = 0.
Then, the next point with same shape is at t = 120 s, where the book returns at x = 0 m.
Therefore, the period is
T = 120 s - 0 s = 120 s
b)
The tangential speed of the book is given by the ratio between the distance covered during one revolution, which is the perimeter of the wheel, and the time taken, which is the period.
The perimeter of the wheel is:
where R is the radius of the wheel.
The period of revolution is:
Therefore, the tangential speed of the book is:
