Answer:

g

=

9.80

m/s

2

.

Although

g

varies from

9.78

m/s

2

to

9.83

m/s

2

, depending on latitude, altitude, underlying geological formations, and local topography, the average value of

9.80

m/s

2

will be used in this text unless otherwise specified. The direction of the acceleration due to gravity is downward (towards the center of Earth). In fact, its direction defines what we call vertical. Note that whether the acceleration

a

in the kinematic equations has the value

+

g

or

−

g

depends on how we define our coordinate system. If we define the upward direction as positive, then

a

=

−

g

=

−

9.80

m/s

2

, and if we define the downward direction as positive, then

a

=

g

=

9.80

m/s

2

.

One-Dimensional Motion Involving Gravity

The best way to see the basic features of motion involving gravity is to start with the simplest situations and then progress toward more complex ones. So we start by considering straight up and down motion with no air resistance or friction. These assumptions mean that the velocity (if there is any) is vertical. If the object is dropped, we know the initial velocity is zero. Once the object has left contact with whatever held or threw it, the object is in free-fall. Under these circumstances, the motion is one-dimensional and has constant acceleration of magnitude

g

.

We will also represent vertical displacement with the symbol

y

and use

x

for horizontal displacement.

Example 1: Calculating Position and Velocity of a Falling Object: A Rock Thrown Upward

A person standing on the edge of a high cliff throws a rock straight up with an initial velocity of 13.0 m/s. The rock misses the edge of the cliff as it falls back to earth. Calculate the position and velocity of the rock 1.00 s, 2.00 s, and 3.00 s after it is thrown, neglecting the effects of air resistance.

Strategy

Draw a sketch.

Velocity vector arrow pointing up in the positive y direction, labeled v sub 0 equals thirteen point 0 meters per second. Acceleration vector arrow pointing down in the negative y direction, labeled a equals negative 9 point 8 meters per second squared.

Figure 2.

We are asked to determine the position

y

at various times. It is reasonable to take the initial position

y

0

to be zero. This problem involves one-dimensional motion in the vertical direction. We use plus and minus signs to indicate direction, with up being positive and down negative. Since up is positive, and the rock is thrown upward, the initial velocity must be positive too. The acceleration due to gravity is downward, so

a

is negative. It is crucial that the initial velocity and the acceleration due to gravity have opposite signs. Opposite signs indicate that the acceleration due to gravity opposes the initial motion and will slow and eventually reverse it.

Since we are asked for values of position and velocity at three times, we will refer to these as

y

1

and

v

1

;

y

2

and

v

; and

y

3

and

2. Identify the best equation to use. We will use

a

because it includes only one unknown,

Discussion

The rock is 8.10 m above its starting point at

t

=

1.00

s, since

y

>

y

. It could be moving up or down; the only way to tell is to calculate

v

and find out if it is positive or negative.

2. Identify the best equation to use. The most straightforward is

(from

Discussion

The positive value for

v

1

means that the rock is still heading upward at

t

=

1.00

s

. However, it has slowed from its original 13.0 m/s, as expected.

Solution for Remaining Times

The procedures for calculating the position and velocity at

t

=

2.00

s

and

3.00

s

are the same as those above. The results are summarized in Table 1 and illustrated in Figure 3.

Time, t Position, y Velocity, v Acceleration, a

1.00 s 8.10 m 3.20 m/s −9.80 m/s2

2.00 s 6.40 m −6.60 m/s −9.80 m/s2

3.00 s −5.10 m −16.4 m/s −9.80 m/s2

Graphing the data helps us understand it more clearly.

An aluminum calorimeter with a mass of 100 g contains 250 g of water. The calorimeter and water are in thermal equilibrium at 10
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

a) c=1822.3214\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}

b) This value of specific heat is close to the specific heat of ice at -40° C and the specific heat of peat (a variety of coal).

c) The material is peat, possibly.

d) The material cannot be ice because ice doesn't exists at a temperature of 100°C.

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of aluminium, m_a=0.1\ kg
  • mass of water, m_w=0.25\ kg
  • initial temperature of the system, T_i=10^{\circ}C
  • mass of copper block, m_c=0.1\ kg
  • temperature of copper block, T_c=50^{\circ}C
  • mass of the other block, m=0.07\ kg
  • temperature of the other block, T=100^{\circ}C
  • final equilibrium temperature, T_f=20^{\circ}C

We have,

specific heat of aluminium, c_a=910\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}

specific heat of copper, c_c=390\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}

specific heat of water, c_w=4186\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}

Using the heat energy conservation equation.

The heat absorbed by the system of the calorie-meter to reach the final temperature.

Q_{in}=m_a.c_a.(T_f-T_i)+m_w.c_w.(T_f-T_i)

Q_{in}=0.1\times 910\times (20-10)+0.25\times 4186\times (20-10)

Q_{in}=11375\ J

The heat released by the blocks when dipped into water:

Q_{out}=m_c.c_c.(T_c-T_f)+m.c.(T-T_f)

where

c= specific heat of the unknown material

For the conservation of energy : Q_{in}=Q_{out}

so,

11375=0.1\times 390\times (50-20)+0.07\times c\times (100-20)

c=1822.3214\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}

b)

This value of specific heat is close to the specific heat of ice at -40° C and the specific heat of peat (a variety of coal).

c)

The material is peat, possibly.

d)

The material cannot be ice because ice doesn't exists at a temperature of 100°C.
