Answer:

Expression of work done is

$W = Fd cos\theta$

Work done to move the sled is given as 187.2 J

Explanation:

As we know that the formula of work done is given as

$W = Fd cos\theta$

here we know that

F = 12.6 N

d = 15.4 m

$\theta = 15.3 degree$

so we will have

$W = 12.6 \times 15.4 cos15.3$

$W = 187.2 J$

Answer : The specific heat capacity of the alloy $1.422J/g^oC$

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

$q_1=-q_2$

$m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)$

where,

$C_1$ = specific heat of alloy = ?

$C_2$ = specific heat of water = $4.18J/g^oC$

$m_1$ = mass of alloy = 21.6 g

$m_2$ = mass of water = 50.0 g

$T_f$ = final temperature of system = $31.10^oC$

$T_1$ = initial temperature of alloy = $93.00^oC$

$T_2$ = initial temperature of water = $22.00^oC$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

$21.6g\times c_1\times (31.10-93.00)^oC=-50.0g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (31.10-22.00)^oC$

$c_1=1.422J/g^oC$

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of the alloy $1.422J/g^oC$

A thermometer is placed in water in order to measure the water’s temperature. What would cause the liquid in the thermometer to

katovenus [111]

The correct answer should be c.The kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases.

If the temperature drops that means that the molecules are coming together. If the temperature rises then it means that the molecules are spreading. If the kinetic energy falls down that means that they are slower which means that they are cooler.

What effect does the vertical acceleration have on the horizontal velocity of the projectile?

KengaRu [80]

Answer:
None, if air resistance is ignored.

Explanation:
At any instant, the projectile has vertical and horizontal components of velocity.
Vertical acceleration due to gravity affects the vertical velocity by accelerating the object toward the center of the earth, and by decreasing the upward vertical velocity..
The horizontal component of velocity makes the object travel horizontally as long as the projectile is airborne.
Thsi discussion assumes that air resistance is ignored.
