Answer:
The final equilibrium T_{f} = 25.7[°C]
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem we must have a clear concept of heat transfer. Heat transfer is defined as the transmission of heat from one body that is at a higher temperature to another at a lower temperature.
That is to say for this case the heat is transferred from the iron to the water, the temperature of the water will increase, while the temperature of the iron will decrease. At the end of the process a thermal balance is found, i.e. the temperature of iron and water will be equal.
The temperature of thermal equilibrium will be T_f.
The heat absorbed by water will be equal to the heat rejected by Iron.
Heat transfer can be found by means of the following equation.
where:
Qiron = Iron heat transfer [kJ]
m = iron mass = 200 [g] = 0.2 [kg]
T_i = Initial temperature of the iron = 300 [°C]
T_f = final temperature [°C]
Cp_iron = 437 [J/kg*°C]
Cp_water = 4200 [J/kg*°C]
Every particle of mass is attracted to every other particle of mass. The magnitude of the force between two objects is proportional to the product of their masses, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The direction of the force is along the line between their centers.
(NOTE: Newton's 3rd law of motion tells us that gravitational forces always come in pairs. Between two objects, there are two forces ... one in each direction. Their strengths are equal ... Your weight on Earth is exactly equal to the Earth's weight on YOU.)
Answer:
m = 3 kg
The mass m is 3 kg
Explanation:
From the equations of motion;
s = 0.5(u+v)t
Making t thr subject of formula;
t = 2s/(u+v)
t = time taken
s = distance travelled during deceleration = 62.5 m
u = initial speed = 25 m/s
v = final velocity = 0
Substituting the given values;
t = (2×62.5)/(25+0)
t = 5
Since, t = 5 the acceleration during this period is;
acceleration a = ∆v/t = (v-u)/t
a = (25)/5
a = 5 m/s^2
Force F = mass × acceleration
F = ma
Making m the subject of formula;
m = F/a
net force F = 15.0N
Substituting the values
m = 15/5
m = 3 kg
The mass m is 3 kg
Gravitational potential energy = mgh
Thus it is clear the higher the mass and height, the more will be the gravitational potential energy
Thus option B is the correct answer
Temperature probe
