The specific heat capacity of the calorimeter used in mixing the water is determined as 21.87 J/g⁰C.

<h3>Conseervation of energy</h3>

The heat capacity of the calirometer is determined by applying the principle of conservation of energy.

Heat lost by the hot water = Heat gained by the calirometer

$Q _w = Q_c\\\\M_w C_w\Delta \theta _w = M_c C_c\Delta \theta _c$

where;

M is mass

mass = density x volume = ρV

Density of water = 1 g/ml

Mass of hot water = 1 x (50) = 50 g

Mass of water in calorimeter = 1 x (60) = 60 g

<h3>Equilibrium temperature</h3>

$\Delta T_c = 5.5\\\\T - 25 = 5.5\\\\T = 30.5 \ ^0C$

<h3>Specific heat capacity of the calirometer</h3>

$50 \times 4.184 \times (65 - 30.5) = 60 \times C_c \times (30.5 - 25)\\\\7217.4 = 330C_c\\\\C_c = \frac{7217.4}{330} \\\\C_c = 21.87 \ J/g^0C$

Thus, the specific heat capacity of the calorimeter used in mixing the water is determined as 21.87 J/g⁰C.

The complete question is below

When using a different calorimeter, and mixing 50 ml of hot water at

65 degrees C with 60 ml of water in the calorimeter at 25 degrees C, the temperature of the calorimeter increased by 5.5 degrees C.

A car is traveling at 15m/s on a horizontal road. the brakes are applied and the car skids to a stop in 4.0s . the coefficient o

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

the coefficient of Kinetic friction between the tires and road is 0.38

Option A) .38 is the correct answer

Explanation:

Given that;

final velocity v = 0

initial velocity u = 15m/s

time taken t = 4 s

acceleration a = ?

from the equation of motion

v = u + at

we substitute

0 = 15 + a × 4

acceleration a = -15/4 = - 3.75 m/s²

the negative sign tells us that its a deacceleration so the sign can be ignored.

Deacceleration due to friction a = μ × g

we substitute

3.75 = μ × 9.8

μ = 3.75 / 9.8 = 0.3826 ≈ 0.38

Therefore the coefficient of Kinetic friction between the tires and road is 0.38

Option A) .38 is the correct answer

Which of the following is NOT a physical mechanism that causes air to rise?A) orographic liftingB) frontal wedging C) adiabatic

liq [111]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Adiabatic cooling systems function similarly to dry cooling systems, but with the incorporation of pre-cooling pads; running water over pre-cooling pads and drawing air through the pads depresses the ambient dry bulb of the incoming air. The depressed dry bulb allows for greater system heat rejection.

he result of this is that adiabatic systems are highly effective in hot, dry environments, while using less water than traditional evaporative units. Adiabatic units also deliver the required cooling capacity in a smaller footprint and/or lower fan motor horsepower than a completely dry cooler/condenser.

julia-pushkina [17]

These are the characteristics that apply:

- In a solution taste sour: which is consequence of the H+ concentration.

- Corrode metals: the H+ ion reacts with the metal producing a salt and water

-Produce hydronium ion in solution: as per the Bronsted - Lowry definition an acid is a substance that donates a proton, H+. This proton will react with H2O to form H3O+ (hydronium), as per this scheme:

HA + H2O --> A(-) + H3O(+)

The coefficient of friction between a rider and the merry go round is 0.45 and the person is measured to be traveling at 20.0 RP

svlad2 [7]

The person must stand at a radius of 0.99 m

Explanation:

In order for the person to stand on the merry go round, the force of friction acting on the person must provide the centripetal force necessary to keep the person in uniform circular motion.

Therefore, we can write:

$\mu mg = m\omega^2 r$

where:

- the term on the left is the force of friction, and the term on the right is the centripetal force

$\mu = 0.45$ is the coefficient of friction

m is the mass of the person

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

$\omega = 20 \frac{rev}{min} \cdot \frac{2\pi rad/rev}{60 s/min}=2.09 rad/s$ is the angular velocity

r is the radius of the circular path

Solving the equation for r, we find the radius at which the person must be standing:

$r=\frac{\omega^2}{\mu g}=\frac{(2.09)^2}{(0.45)(9.8)}=0.99 m$

What causes clouds to form on the upwind side of mountain ranges

Makovka662 [10]

I believe it’s because of the air from the lower part of the mountain adjusting to the climate at the top. Mountains cause air to rise, and when that air rises it cools down creating the clouds.

Hope I helped!
