Answer:
1.The temperature of each sample will increase by the same amount
Explanation:
This is because, since their specific heat capacities are the same and we have the same mass of each substance, and the same amount of energy due to heat flow is supplied to both the glass and brick at room temperature, their temperatures would thereby increase by the same amount.
This is shown by the calculation below
Q = mcΔT
ΔT = Q/mc where ΔT = temperature change, Q = amount of heat, m = mass of substance and c = specific heat capacity of substance.
Since Q, m and c are the same for both substances, thus ΔT will be the same.
So, the temperature of each sample will increase by the same amount
Answer:
The heavier piece acquired 2800 J kinetic energy
Explanation:
From the principle of conservation of linear momentum:
0 = M₁v₁ - M₂v₂
M₁v₁ = M₂v₂
let the second piece be the heavier mass, then
M₁v₁ = (2M₁)v₂
v₁ = 2v₂ and v₂ = ¹/₂ v₁
From the principle of conservation of kinetic energy:
¹/₂ K.E₁ + ¹/₂ K.E₂ = 8400 J
¹/₂ M₁(v₁)² + ¹/₂ (2M₁)(¹/₂v₁)² = 8400
¹/₂ M₁(v₁)² + ¹/₄M₁(v₁)² = 8400
K.E₁ + ¹/₂K.E₁ = 8400
Now, we determine K.E₁ and note that K.E₂ = ¹/₂K.E₁
1.5 K.E₁ = 8400
K.E₁ = 8400/1.5
K.E₁ = 5600 J
K.E₂ = ¹/₂K.E₁ = 0.5*5600 J = 2800 J
Therefore, the heavier piece acquired 2800 J kinetic energy
Explanation:
Acceleration is the change in speed over a given time period
