Answer:
, assuming that there's no heat exchange between the washing machine and the environment.
Explanation:
Let denote the mass of water and the specific heat capacity of water. The energy required to raise the temperature of that much water by would be:
.
Washing at would require a temperature change of .
Washing at would require a temperature change of .
In both situations, while .
Calculate the energy required in either situation:
Washing at :
.
Washing at :
.
.
The heat capacity is given by the expression:
When the is measured in the calorimeter, we obtain a value, and since we know the mass of the material and we control the change in , we can then determine the specific heat "C" by simply remplazing in the expression.
To solve this problem it is necessary to consider two concepts. The first of these is the flow rate that can be defined as the volumetric quantity that a channel travels in a given time. The flow rate can also be calculated from the Area and speed, that is,
Q = V*A
Where,
A= Cross-sectional Area
V = Velocity
The second concept related to the calculation of this problem is continuity, which is defined as the proportion that exists between the input channel and the output channel. It is understood as well as the geometric section of entry and exit, defined as,
Our values are given as,
Re-arrange the equation to find the first ratio of rates we have:
The second ratio of rates is
Is there any answers? Or is it asking you to choose?
1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3+ 1/R4+ 1/R5
1/Rt = 1/6+ 1/6+1/6+1/6+1/6
1/Rt = 5/6
Rt = 6/5
Rt = 1.2 ohm
so B is the answer
