A hot cube of iron was heated up using 1500 J of thermal energy and was placed in a beaker of water. Before it was heated, the i

ron cube was 20.0 ˚C. The cube of iron raised the temperature of the water to 45.0 ˚C. If the iron cube has a mass of 133 g, what is the specific heat capacity of iron?

Answer:

451.13 J/kg.°C

Explanation:

Applying,

Q = cm(t₂-t₁)............... Equation 1

Where Q = Heat, c = specific heat capacity of iron, m = mass of iron, t₂= Final temperature, t₁ = initial temperature.

Make c the subject of the equation

c = Q/m(t₂-t₁).............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: Q = 1500 J, m = 133 g = 0.113 kg, t₁ = 20 °C, t₂ = 45 °C

Substitute these values into equation 2

c = 1500/[0.133(45-20)]

c = 1500/(0.133×25)

c = 1500/3.325

c = 451.13 J/kg.°C

Darina [25.2K]
Your mass wouldn’t change, but your weight would. Weight depends on the force of gravity however mass does not. When you land on the moon, your mass is the same as it was on the earth but weight will drop

For a vehicle to negotiate a banked curve in poor weather conditions, where the force of friction f = 0, for a given velocity v
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

R=240m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Velocity v=25m/s

Force of friction f = 0

Angle \theta=15

Generally the equation for  Radius of curvature is mathematically given by

R=frac{v^2}{tan\theta *g}

R=frac{25^2}{tan 15 *9.81}

R=240m

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Originally :  Level = log I / I0

Currently: Level = 10 log I / I0

Level = 10 log 600 = 10 * 2.78 = 27.8

A bobsled zips down an ice track, starting from rest at the top of a hill with a vertical height of 150m. Disregarding friction,
olchik [2.2K]
<span>The velocity would be 54.2 m/s We would use the equation 1/2mv^2top+mghtop = 1/2mv^2bottom+mghbottom where m is the mass of the bobsled(which can be ignored), vtop/bottom is the velocity of the bobsled at the top or bottom, g is gravity, and htop/bottom is the height of the bobsled at the top or bottom of the hill. Since the velocity of the bobsled at the top of the hill and height at the bottom of the hill are zero, 1/2mv^2top and mghbottom will equal zero. The equation will be mghtop=1/2mv^2bottom. Thus we would solve for v.</span>
