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

An arrow is launched with an initial velocity of 7.6 m/s at an angle of 42 degrees above the horizontal. What is the horizontal

AleksAgata [21]

Explanation:

At any point on the arrow's trajectory, the horizontal component of the velocity is the same. Therefore, the horizontal component of the velocity at the top of its trajectory is

$v_x = v_{0x} = v_0\cos{42°} = (7.6\:\text{m/s})\cos{42°}$

$\:\:\:\:\:=5.6\:\text{m/s}$

You are watching an archery tournament when you start wondering how fast an arrow is shot from the bow. Remembering your physics

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:112.82 m/s

Explanation:

Given

range of arrow=68 m

$Angle=3^{\circ}$

as the arrow travels it acquire a vertical velocity $v_y$

$v_y=u+at$

$v_y=0+9.81\times t$ -------1

Range is given by

R=ut

where u=initial velocity

$68=u\times t$

$t=\frac{68}{u}$

substitute the value of t in eqn 1

$v_y=9.81\times \frac{68}{u}$

$v_y\times u=9.81\times 68=667.08$ --------2

and $tan(3)=\frac{v_y}{u}$

$v_y=utan(3)=0.0524u$

substitute it in 2

$0.0524 u^2=667.08$

$u^2=12,728.644$

u=112.82 m/s

The earth travels around the sun once a year in an approximately circular orbit whose radius is 1.50x10^11 m. From this data det

seraphim [82]

(a) Determine the circumference of the Earth through the equation,
C = 2πr
Substituting the known values,
C = 2π(1.50 x 10¹¹ m)
C = 9.424 x 10¹¹ m

Then, divide the answer by time which is given to a year which is equal to 31536000 s.
orbital speed = (9.424 x 10¹¹ m)/31536000 s

orbital speed = 29883.307 m/s

Hence, the orbital speed of the Earth is ~29883.307 m/s.

(b) The mass of the sun is ~1.9891 x 10³⁰ kg.

What is the concentration of H^ + at apH = 2 ? Mol / L What is the concentration of H^ + ions at apH = 6 ? Mol/L How many more H

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The concentration of hydrogen ion at pH is equal to 2 : $= [H^+]=0.01 mol/L$

The concentration of hydrogen ion at pH is equal to 6 : $[H^+]'=0.000001 mol/L$

There are 0.009999 more moles of $H^+$ ions in a solution at a pH = 2 than in a solution at a pH = 6.

Explanation:

The pH of the solution is the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration in an aqueous solution.

$pH=-\log [H^+]$

The hydrogen ion concentration at pH is equal to 2 = [H^+]

$2=-\log [H^+]\\$

$[H^+]=10^{-2}M= 0.01 M=0.01 mol/L$

The hydrogen ion concentration at pH is equal to 6 = [H^+]

$6=-\log [H^+]\\\\$

$[H^+]=10^{-6}M= 0.000001 M= 0.000001 mol/L$

Concentration of hydrogen ion at pH is equal to 2 = $[H^+]=0.01 mol/L$

Concentration of hydrogen ion at pH is equal to 6 = $[H^+]'=0.000001 mol/L$

The difference between hydrogen ion concentration at pH 2 and pH 6 :

$= [H^+]-[H^+]' = 0.01 mol/L- 0.000001 mol/L = 0.009999 mol/L$

Moles of hydrogen ion in 0.009999 mol/L solution :

$=0.009999 mol/L\times 1 L=0.009999 mol$

There are 0.009999 more moles of $H^+$ ions in a solution at a pH = 2 than in a solution at a pH = 6.

**Fill in the blanks**

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Word for the first blank: gravity

Word for the second blank: matter

Explanation:

The only way debris from the impact with Earth can be held close to Earth is due to a force. The only force that could be acting from Earth is "the force of gravity".

The gravitational pull of this new object being formed, increases proportional to its mass as more and more "matter" accumulates. And the accretion process is now on its way.
