Answer:

B. Benjamin Franklin

Explanation:

In 1753, Benjamin Franklin published in London, an article where he proposed the idea of ​​using an iron rod sharpened to a point on the roofs of buildings to protect them from lightning. He designed them to attract the lightning strike and thus prevent the electric shock from causing damage.

How much heat is removed from 60 grams of steam at 100 °C to change it to 60 grams
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

45200J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Heat of vaporization of water  = 2260J/g

Mass of steam = 20g

Temperature = 100°C

Unknown:

Energy released during the condensation  = ?

Solution:

This change is a phase change and there is no change in temperature

To find the amount of heat released;

         H  = mL

m is the mass

L is the latent heat of vaporization

Insert the parameters and solve;

         H  = 20g x 2260J/g

          H = 45200J

In a double‑slit interference experiment, the wavelength is lambda=487 nm , the slit separation is d=0.200 mm , and the screen i
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Δx = 4.68 x 10⁻³ m = 4.68 mm

Explanation:

The distance between the consecutive maxima, in Young's Double Slit Experiment is given bu the following formula:

Δx = λD/d

So, the distance between the eighth order maximum and the fourth order maximum on the screen will be given as:

Δx = 4λD/d

where,

Δx = distance between eighth order maximum and fourth order maximum=?

λ = wavelength = 487 nm = 4.87 x 10⁻⁷ m

d = slit separation = 0.2 mm = 2 x 10⁻⁴ m

D = Distance between slits and screen = 48 cm = 0.48 m

Therefore,

Δx = (4)(4.87 x 10⁻⁷ m)(0.48 m)/(2 x 10⁻⁴ m)

<u>Δx = 4.68 x 10⁻³ m = 4.68 mm</u>

An electric motor rotating a workshop grinding wheel at 1.00 × 10² rev/min is switched off. Assume the wheel has a constant nega
ololo11 [35]

An electric engine turning a workshop sanding rotation at 1.00 × 10² rev/min is switched off. Take the wheel includes a regular negative angular acceleration of volume 2.00 rad/s². 5.25 moments long it takes the grinding rotation to control.

<h3>What is negative angular acceleration?</h3>
  • A particle that has a negative angular velocity rotates counterclockwise.
  • Negative angular acceleration () is a "push" that is hence counterclockwise.
  • The body will speed up or slow down depending on whether and have the same sign (and eventually go in reverse).
  • For instance, when an object rotating counterclockwise slows down, acceleration would be negative.
  • If a rotating body's angular speed is seen to grow in a clockwise direction and decrease in a counterclockwise direction, it is given a negative sign.
  • It is known that a change in the linear acceleration correlates to a change in the linear velocity.

Let t be the time taken to stop.

ω = 0 rad/s

Use the first equation of motion for rotational motion

ω = ωo + α t

0 = 10.5 - 2 x t

t = 5.25 second

A 0.4000 kg sample of methanol at 16.0ºC is mixed with 0.4000 kg of water at 85.0ºC. Assuming no heat loss to the surroundings,
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

T_finalmix = 59.5 [°C].

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, a thermal balance must be performed, where the heat is transferred from water to methanol, at the end the temperature of the water and methanol must be equal once the thermal balance is achieved.

Q_{water}=Q_{methanol}

where:

Q_{water}=m_{water}*Cp_{water}*(T_{waterinitial}-T_{final})

mwater = mass of the water = 0.4 [kg]

Cp_water = specific heat of the water = 4180 [J/kg*°C]

T_waterinitial = initial temperature of the water = 85 [°C]

T_finalmix = final temperature of the mix [°C]

Q_{methanol}=m_{methanol}*Cp_{methanol}*(T_{final}-T_{initialmethanol})

Now replacing:

0.4*4180*(85-T_{final})=0.4*2450*(T_{final}-16)\\142120-1672*T_{final}=980*T_{final}-15680\\157800=2652*T_{final}\\T_{final}=59.5[C]
