A 0.050 kg metal bolt is heated to an unknown initial temperature. It is then dropped into calorimeter containing 0.15 kg of wat

er with an initial temperature of 21.0°C. The bolt and the water then reach a final temperature of 25.0°C. If the metal has a specific heat capacity of 899 J/kg•°C, find the initial temperature of the metal.

The initial temperature of the metal bolt is 80.8 °C

We'll begin by calculating the heat absorbed by the water.

  • Mass of water (M) = 0.15 Kg
  • Initial temperature (T₁) = 21 °C
  • Final temperature (T₂) = 25 °C
  • Change in temperature (ΔT)  = T₂ – T₁ = 25 – 21 = 4 °C
  • Specific heat capacity of water (C) = 4184 J/KgºC
  • Heat absorbed (Q) =?

Q = MCΔT

Q = 0.15 × 4184 × 4

Q = 2510.4 J

Finally, we shall determine the initial temperature of the metal bolt.

  • Heat absorbed by water = 2510.4 J
  • Heat released by metal (Q) = –2510.4 J
  • Mass of metal (M) = 0.050 Kg
  • Final temperature (T₂) = 25 °C
  • Specific heat capacity of metal (C) = 899 J/Kg°C
  • Initial temperature (T₁) =?

Q = MC(T₂ – T₁)

–2510.4 = 0.050 × 899 (25 – T₁)

–2510.4 = 44.95 (25 – T₁)

Clear bracket

–2510.4 = 1123.75 – 44.95T₁

Collect like terms

–2510.4 – 1123.75 = –44.95T₁

–3634.15 = –44.95T₁

Divide both side by –44.95

T₁ = –3634.15 / –44.95

T₁ = 80.8 °C

Thus, the initial temperature of the metal is 80.8 °C.

Joe first focuses his attention (and his eyes) on the tree. The focal length of the cornea-lens system in his eye must be ______
kotykmax [81]

Answer: The focal length of the cornea-lens system in his eye must be LESS THAN the distance between the front and back of his eye.

Explanation:

The human eye the front part of the eye is the CORNEA. This is the tough white transparent part of the eye that helps in the refraction of light rays. While the backside of the eye is the RETINA. This is the part of the eye when images are focused.

When a normal eye is at rest, parallel rays from a distant object are focused on the retina. The ability of the eye - lens to focus points at different distances on the retina is known as accomodation. The adjustment of the eye lens to focus objects of varying distances is brought about by the ciliary muscles. The have the ability to change the shape of the eye which leads to change in focal length.

When a person with normal vision looks at a distant object at infinity, the lens brings parallel rays to focus on the retina. Thus, the furthest point which the eye can see distinctly is called the far point of the eye and it's infinity for a normal eye. But Joe was able to focus his eye on the tree, meaning that the tree was within his near point. This is the nearest point at which an object is clearly seen. Therefore, when the effective focal length of the cornea-lens system changes, it changes the location of the image of any object in one's field of view.

A motorcycle accelerates from 10. m/s to 25 m/s in 5.0 seconds. What is the average acceleration of the bike?
valentinak56 [21]

If a motorcycle accelerates from 10 m/s to 15 m/s in 5 seconds, the average acceleration of the bike is 3 m/s/s. This only means that the motorcycle’<span>s velocity will increase 3 m/s every second.  You need to divide 15 m/s which is the difference of 10 and 25 to 5 seconds.</span>
