Answer:

34.17°C

Explanation:

Given:

mass of metal block = 125 g

initial temperature $T_i$ = 93.2°C

We know

$Q = m c \Delta T$ ..................(1)

Q= Quantity of heat

m = mass of the substance

c = specific heat capacity

c = 4.19 for H₂O in $J/g^{\circ}C$

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature

Now

The heat lost by metal = The heat gained by the metal

Heat lost by metal = $125\times 0.9\times (93.2-T_f)$

Heat gained by the water = $100\times 4.184\times(T_f -18.3)$

thus, we have

$125\times 0.9\times (93.2-T_f)$ = $100\times 4.184\times(T_f -18.3)$

$10485-112.5T_f = 418.4T_f - 7656.72$

⇒ $T_f = 34.17^oC$

Therefore, the final temperature will be = 34.17°C

Answer:

$\pi 1 = \frac{h}{l}$

$\pi 2 =$ б / $l^2gp$

$\frac{h}{l} =$ Ф ( б / $l^2gp$ )

Explanation:

<u>Develop a suitable set of dimensionless parameters for this problem</u>

The set of dimensionless parameters for this problem is :

$\pi 1 = \frac{h}{l}$

$\pi 2 =$ б / $l^2gp$

$\frac{h}{l} =$ Ф ( б / $l^2gp$ )

and they are using the pi theorem, MLT systems

The water in a river flows uniformly at a constant speed of 2.50 m/s between parallel banks 80.0 m apart. You are to deliver a p

NISA [10]

Answer:

a) The swimmer should travel perpendicular to the bank to minimize the spent in getting to the other side.

b) 133.33 m

c) 53.13°

d) 106.67 m

Explanation:

a) The swimmer should travel perpendicular to the bank to minimize the spent in getting to the other side.

b) velocity = distance * time

Let the velocity of the swimmer be $v_{s}$ = 1.5 m/s

The separation of the two sides of the river, d = 80 m

The time taken by the swimmer to get to the other end of the river bank,

$t = \frac{d}{v_{s} }$

t = 80/1.5

t = 53.33 s

The swimmer will be carried downstream by the river through a distance, s

Let the velocity of the river be $v_{r}$ = 2.5 m/s

$S = v_{r} t$

S = 53.33 * 2.5

S = 133.33 m

c) To minimize the distance traveled by the swimmer, his resultant velocity must be perpendicular to the velocity of the swimmer relative to water

That is ,

$cos \theta = \frac{v_{s} }{v_{r} } \\cos \theta = 1.5/2.5\\cos \theta = 0.6\\\theta = cos^{-1} 0.6\\\theta = 53.13^{0}$

d) Downstream velocity of the swimmer, $v_{y} = v_{s} sin \theta\\$

$v_{y} = 1.5 sin 53.13\\v_{y} = 1.2 m/s$

The vertical displacement is given by, $y = v_{y} t$

80 = 1.2 t

t = 80/1.2

t = 66.67 s

the horizontal speed,

$v_{x} = 2.5 - 1.5cos53.13\\v_{x} = 1.6 m/s$

The downstream horizontal distance of the swimmer, $x = v_{x} t$

x = 1.6 * 66.67

x = 106.67 m

Linearly polarized light whose Jones vector is [0 1] (horizontally polarized) is sent through a train of two linear polarizers.

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given question:

Explanation:

The input linear polarisation was shown at an angle of $2 \mu$ . It's a very popular use of a half-wave plate. In particular, consider the case $\mu = 45 \pm$ , at which the angle of rotation is $90\pm$ . HWP thereby provides a great way to turn, for instance, a linear polarised light that swings horizontally to polarise vertically. Illustration of action on event circularly polarized light of the half-wave platform. Customarily it is the slow axis of HWP that corresponds to either the rotation. Note that perhaps the vector of polarization is "double-headed," i.e., the electromagnetic current swinging back and forward in time. Therefore the turning angle could be referred to as the rapid axis to reach the same result. Please find the attached file.

A 5 kg ball is sitting on top of a hill. It has a Potential Energy of 6000J. What is the height of the ball?

natali 33 [55]

Explanation:

mass=5 kg

potential energy=6000j

height=?

Now

potential energy =m.g.h

or 6000=5*9.8*h

or 6000=49h

or 6000÷49=h

or h= 122.45m

Diamonds are usually found in pipes 50 to 200 m across made of ________.

Leokris [45]

I believe the correct answer would be kimberlite. Diamonds are usually found in pipes 50 to 200 m across made of kimberlite. It is an igneous rock that is known to contain traces of diamonds. It is named base on the town where it was discovered which is Kimberley, South Africa.
