Introduction: The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of energy needed to change the temperature of that substance by 1 °C. Specific heat capacity can be calculated using the following equation:
q = mc deltaT
In the equation q represents the amount of heat energy gained or lost in joules), m is the mass of the substance (in grams), c is the specific heat capacity of the substance (in J/g °C), and AT is the temperature change of the substance in °C).
Goal: Calculate the specific heat capacities of copper, granite, lead, and ice.
Solve: When you mix two substances, the heat gained by one substance is equal to the heat lost by the other substance. Suppose you place 125 g of aluminum in a calorimeter with 1,000 g of water. The water changes temperature by 2 °C and the aluminum changes temperature by -74.95 °C.
A. Water has a known specific heat capacity of 4.184 J/g °C. Use the specific heat equation to find out how much heat energy the water gained (q).
B. Assume that the heat energy gained by the water is equal to the heat energy lost by the aluminum. Use the specific heat equation to solve for the specific heat of aluminum. Aluminum's accepted specific heat value is 0.900 J/g °C. Use this value to check your work.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A) 8,368 J

B) ) 0.893 J/gºC

Explanation:

A)

The heat gained by the water can be obtained solving the following equation:

       [tex]q_{g} = c_{w} * m * \Delta T (1)[/tex]

where cw = specific heat of water = 4.184 J/gºCm= mass of water = 1,000 gΔT = 2ºC Replacing these values in (1) we get:

       [tex]q_{g} = c_{w} * m * \Delta T = 4.184 J/gºC*1,000 g* 2ºC = 8,368 J (2)[/tex]

B)

Assuming that the heat energy gained by the water is equal to the one lost by the aluminum, we can use the same equation, taking into account that the energy is lost by the aluminum, so the sign is negative:  -8,368 J.Replacing by the mass of aluminum (125 g), and the change in temperature (-74.95ºC), in (1), we can solve for the specific heat of aluminum, as follows:

       [tex]q_{l} = c_{Al} * m_{Al} * \Delta T (3)[/tex]

⇒    [tex]-8,368 J = c_{Al}* 125 g * (-74.95ºC) (4)[/tex]

       [tex]c_{Al} = \frac{-8,368J}{125g*(-74.95ºC} = 0.893 J/gºC (5)[/tex]

which is pretty close to the Aluminum's accepted specific heat value of 0.900 J/gºC.

Force between two charges can be expressed as follows

F = k q₁ q₂ / d²

q₁ and q₂ are two charges , d is distance between them , k is a constant whose value is 9 x 10⁹

distance between charges is fixed which is 4 -2 = 2 cm = 2 x 10⁻² m

force between 1μC and  4μC

= 9 x 10⁹ x 1 x 4 x 10⁻¹² / ( 2 x 10⁻² )²

= 9 x 10 = 90 N

force between 4μC and  1μC

= 9 x 10 = 90 N

force between 2μC and  2μC

= 9 x 10⁹ x 2 x 2 x 10⁻¹² / ( 2 x 10⁻² )²

Precisely 1.00 s after the speeder passes, the police officer steps on the accelerator; if the police car's acceleration is 2.70 m/s2 , how much time passes after the police car is passed by a speeder and before the police car overtakes the speeder (assumed moving at constant speed)

Answers

Answer:

t=  16.75 s

Explanation:

We will solve this exercise using the kinematic expressions

corridor that goes at constant speed, suppose that its speed is v₁ = 20 m/s, it does not appear in the statement, we start counting the time when it passes the policeman.

           x₁ = v₁ t

The policeman starts from rest, so his initial velocity is zero and he has an acceleration a = 2.70 m /s², to use the same time counter we take into account that the policeman left at = 1.00 s after passing the corridor

           x₂ = v₀ (t-t₀) + ½ a (t-t₀)²

           x₂ = ½ a (t-1)²

at the point where the two meet, the position must be the same

           x₁ = x₂

          v₁ t = ½ a (t-1)²

          (t-1)² = [tex]\frac{2 v_1 t}{a}[/tex]

           t² - 2t + 1 - \frac{2 v_1 t}{a} +1 = 0

           t² - 2(1 + [tex]\frac{v_1}{a}[/tex]) t  +1

let's we solve the second degree equation

          t² - 2 ( 1 + [tex]\frac{20}{2.7}[/tex]) t + 1=0

          t² - 16.81 t +1=0

          t = [ 16.81 ± [tex]\sqrt{ 16.81^2 - 4 )}[/tex] ] /2

          t = [16.81 ± 16.695]/2

          t₁=  16.75 s

          t2= 0.06 s

Time t₂ is less than the reaction time of humans, so the correct answer is the first time

            t=  16.75 s

(A) What are the magnitude and direction of Δvav vector during this 5 s interval? and
(B) What are the magnitude and direction of vector aav during this 5 s interval?

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Now we have;

vi = (-30, 0) m/s

vf = (0, 20) m/s

Δvav= vf - vi= (30, 20) m/s

magnitude of Δvav= √30^2 + 20^2 = 36.0 m/s

Direction = tan-1(20/30) = 33.69°

For aav

aav= Δvav/t = (30/5, 20/5) = (6,4) m/s^2

magnitude of  aav = √6^2 + 4^2 = 7.2 m/s^2

direction of aav = tan-1(4/6) = 33.69°

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\mathbf{ C_d = 0.86}[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that:

diameter of the orifice D = 5 cm = 5 × 10⁻² m

discharge rate Q = 0015 m³/s

Actual velocity V = 9 m/s

By using the formula

[tex]Q = C_d \times A \times \sqrt{2gh}[/tex]

where;

[tex]v = \sqrt{2gh}[/tex] = 9  m/s

[tex]Q = C_d \times A \times v}[/tex]

where;

[tex]A = \dfrac{\pi D^2}{4}[/tex]

[tex]A = \dfrac{\pi (5 \times 10^{-2} ) ^2}{4}[/tex]

[tex]A = 0.00196 \ m^2[/tex]

Again,

[tex]Q = C_d \times A \times v}[/tex]

[tex]0.015 = C_d \times 0.00196 \times 9[/tex]

[tex]C_d = \dfrac{0.015 }{ 0.00196 \times 9}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{ C_d = 0.86}[/tex]

Hence, the coefficient of discharge [tex]\mathbf{ C_d = 0.86}[/tex]

Efficiency = ?

Solution

Efficiency is the percentage of the power output to the power input.

Power is the rate at which work is done.

Power output = mass x g x height / time

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Power output = 10x 2 x 9.8 / 2 = 98W

Efficiency = power output/ power input x 100

A basketball of mass 0.23kg is thrown horizontally against a rigid vertical wall with a velocity of 20m/s. It rebounds with a velocity of 15m/s. Calculate the impulse of the force of the wall on the basketball.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]8.1\:\mathrm{Ns}[/tex]

Explanation:

The impulse-momentum theorem gives the impulse on an object to be equal to the change in momentum of that object. Since mass is maintained, the change in momentum of the basketball is:

[tex]\Delta p = m\Delta v[/tex], where [tex]m[/tex] is the mass of the basketball and [tex]\Delta v[/tex] is the change in velocity.

Since the basketball is changing direction, its total change in velocity is:

[tex]\Delta v = 20-(-15)=35\:\mathrm{m/s}[/tex].

Therefore, the basketball's change in momentum is:

[tex]\Delta p = m\Delta v = 0.23\cdot 35= 8.05=8.1\:\mathrm{kg\cdot m/s}[/tex].

Thus, the impulse on the basketball is [tex]\fbox{$8.1\:\mathrm{Ns}$}[/tex] (two significant figures).

In the figure, if Q = 52 µC q =10 µC and d = 55 cm, what is the magnitude of the electrostatic force on q?​

Answers

Answer:

F = 15.47 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Q = 52 µC

q = 10 µC

d = 55 cm = 0.55 m

We need to find the magnitude of the electrostatic force on q. The formula for the electrostatic force is given by :

[tex]F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{d^2}\\\\F=9\times 10^9\times \dfrac{52\times 10^{-6}\times 10\times 10^{-6}}{(0.55)^2}\\\\F=15.47\ N[/tex]

So, the magnitude of the electrostatic force is 15.47 N.

The magnitude of electrostatic force will be "15.47 N".

Electrostatic force

According to the question,

Charges, Q = 52 μC

                q = 10 μC

Distance, d = 55 cm, or

                   = 0.55 m  

Constant, k = 9 × 10⁹

We know the relation,

Electrostatic force, F = k [tex]\frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}[/tex]

By substituting the values, we get

                                      = 9 × 10⁹ × [tex]\frac{10\times 10^{-6}}{(0.55)^2}[/tex]

                                      = 15.47 N

Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The force occurring on a spring F = mg

If x should be the expansion in the spring.

Then F = mg = -kx

where;

[tex]x = \dfrac{mg}{k}[/tex]

[tex]x = \dfrac{2.5 \ kg*9.81 \ m/s^2 }{58 \ N/m}[/tex]

x = 0.423 m

x = 42.3 cm

The final reading of the spring when the end of the spring lines up with the ruler mark is = 42.3 cm + 17 cm

= 59.3 cm

≅ 60 cm

In the laboratory, a ball is dropped onto a force-sensing platform several times, each time hitting a different surface (foam, feathers, clay, etc.). The momentum of the ball changes by the same amount in each trial; in each trial, the average scale reading is F, and the time of collision t are measured. What quantities would need to be graphed to exhibit a straight-line relationship

Answers

Answer:

Graphing the momentum against the change in moment yields a linear relationship.

Explanation:

This is an impulse experiment,

          I = ∫ F .dt

where the force and time of the collision are measured, therefore if we assume an average force the integral reduces to

           I = F t

Furthermore, the momentum is equal to the change in moment of the ball, this change in moment can be found using the energy relations measuring the height of the ball and calculating its speed, in the two intervals for the descent and for the exit, possibly the heights are different so the moment change is different from zero.

Starting point. Higher

          Em₀ = U = mgh

Lower end point, just before hitting the scale

          [tex]Em_{f}[/tex] = K = ½ m v²

in the path in the air there is no friction

          Em₀ = Em_{f}

          m g h = ½ m v²

          v = [tex]\sqrt{2gh}[/tex]

this height is different for the descent and ascent of the ball, so we have two moments

         Δp = [tex]p_{f}[/tex] - p₀

         Δp = m (v_{f} -v₀)

         

therefore we have the relationship

         

         I = Δp

Graphing the momentum against the change in moment yields a linear relationship.

A glacier is a long-lasting mass of heavy ice that is perpetually moving. When the ablation of snow is greater than the accumulation over a long period of time, frequently centuries, a glacier forms.

As it slowly flows and deforms under forces brought on by its weight, it gains distinctive features like crevasses and seracs. Cirques, moraines, and fjords are the result of the erosion of rock and debris from its substrate as it travels.

The considerably thinner sea ice and lake ice that form on the surface of bodies of water are not the same as glaciers, which form only on land and may flow into water bodies.
