Answer:

Mass of the aluminium chunk = 278.51 g

Explanation:

For an isolated system as given the energy lost and gains in the system will be zero therefore sum of all transfer of energy will be zero,as the temperature will also remain same

A specific heat formula is given as

Energy Change = Mass of liquid x Specific Heat Capacity x Change in temperature

Q = m×c×ΔT

Heat gain by aluminium + heat lost by copper = 0 (1)

For Aluminium:

Q = $m\times0.897\frac{J}{g.k}\times(25-5)$

Q = m x 17.94 joule

For Copper:

$Q= 206g\times0.385\frac{J}{g.k} \times(88-25)$

Q= 4996.53 Joule

from eq 1

m x 17.94 = 4996.53

$mass of aluminium = \frac{4996.53}{17.94} g$

Mass of the aluminium chunk = 278.51 g

Austin buys a new moped he travel 3 km south and then 4 km east and then 3km north how far does he need to go to get back to whe

Ira Lisetskai [31]

The first thing to do is to define the origin of the coordinate system as the point at which the moped journey begins.
Then, you must write the position vector:
r = -3j + 4i + 3j
Rewriting
r = 4i
To go back to where you started, you must go
d = -4i
That is to say, must travel a distance of 4Km to the west.
Answer
West, 4km.

How do you find period when you have frequency

nydimaria [60]

Period and frequency are mutual reciprocals.

Period = 1 / frequency .

Frequency = 1 / period

(Frequency) x (Period) = 1
