The equilibrium temperature of aluminium and water is 33.2°C
We know that specific heat of aluminium is 0.9 J/gm-K, and that of water is 1 J/gm-K
Now we can calculate the equilibrium temperature
(mc∆T)_aluminium=(mc∆T)_water
15.7*0.9*(53.2-T)=32.5*1*(T-24.5)
T=33.2°C
Answer:
a) It takes her 1.43 s to reach a speed of 2.00 m/s.
b) Her deceleration is - 2.50 m/s²
Explanation:
The equation of velocity for an object that moves in a straight line with constant acceleration is as follows:
v = v0 + a · t
Where:
v = velocty.
v0 = initial velocity.
a = acceleration.
t = time.
a) Using the equation of velocity, let´s consider that the car moves in the positive direction. Then:
v = v0 + a · t
2.00 m/s = 0 m/s + 1.40 m/s² · t
t = 2.00 m/s / 1.40 m/s²
t = 1.43 s
It takes her 1.43 s to reach a speed of 2.00 m/s
b) Let´s use again the equation of velocity, knowing that at t = 0.800 s the velocity is 0 m/s:
v = v0 + a · t
0 = 2.00 m/s + a · 0.800 s
-2.00 m/s / 0.800 s = a
a = -2.50 m/s²
Her deceleration is - 2.50 m/s²
