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.

In designing buildings to be erected in an area prone to earthquakes, what relationship should the designer try to achieve between the natural frequency of the building and the typical earthquake frequencies?
A) The natural frequency of the building should be exactly the same as typical earthquake frequencies.
B) The natural frequency of the building should be almost the same as typical earthquake frequencies but slightly lower
C) The natural frequency of the building should be very different frem typical earthquake frequencies
D) The natural frequency of the building should be almost the same as typical earthquake frequencies but slightly higher.

Answers

Answer:

C) The natural frequency of the building should be very different from typical earthquake frequencies

Explanation:

We shall apply the concept of resonance in this problem .

When a body is applied an external harmonic force ( forced vibration) such that natural frequency of body is equal to frequency of external force or periodicity of external force , the body vibrates under resonance ie its amplitude of vibration becomes very high .

In the present case if natural frequency of building becomes equal to the earthquake's frequency ( external force ) , the building will start vibrating with maximum amplitude , resulting into quick collapse of the whole building . So to avoid this situation , natural frequency of building should be very different from typical earthquake frequencies .

Answers

Answer:

a. F = 245 Newton.

b. Workdone = 392 Joules.

c. Power = 196 Watts

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 25kg

Distance = 1.6m

Time = 2secs

a. To find the force needed to lift the mass (in N );

Force = mass * acceleration

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8

F = 25*9.8

F = 245N

b. To find the work done by the student (in J);

Workdone = force * distance

Workdone = 245 * 1.6

Workdone = 392 Joules.

c. To find the power exerted by the student (in W);

Power = workdone/time

Power = 392/2

Power = 196 Watts.

Answers

Answer:

1. 14 g of chocolate mixture.

2. 24 fl oz of chocolate milk

3. 10 cups of chocolate milk.

4. 12½ cups.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

1 TBSP = 7 g

1 Cup = 8 fl oz

2 Table spoons (TBSP) for 1 cup (8 fl oz) of milk.

1. Determination of the mass of chocolate mixture in 1 cup of chocolate milk.

From the question given above,

1 Cup required 2 Table spoons (TBSP)

But

1 TBSP = 7 g

Therefore,

2 TBSP = 2 × 7 = 14 g

Thus, 1 Cup required 14 g of chocolate mixture.

2. Determination of the number fl oz of chocolate milk in 3 cups

1 Cup = 8 fl oz

Therefore,

3 Cups = 3 × 8

3 Cups = 24 fl oz

Thus, 24 fl oz of chocolate milk are in 3 cups.

3. Determination of the number of cups of chocolate milk produce from 20 TBSP.

2 TBSP is required to produce 1 cup.

Therefore,

20 TBSP will produce = 20/2 = 10 Cups.

Thus, 10 cups of chocolate milk produce from 20 TBSP.

4. Determination of the number of cups obtained from 100 fl oz chocolate milk.

8 fl oz is required to produce 1 cup.

Therefore,

100 fl oz will produce = 100 / 8 = 12½ cups.

Thus, 12½ cups is obtained from 100 fl oz chocolate milk.

A bottle rocket is fired off and has an acceleration of 14.5 m/s2 for the 2.25s until it burns out. If it starts at rest, what distance does it cover?

Answers

Answer:

S = 16.3125m

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Acceleration, a = 14.5m/s²

Time, t = 2.25secs

Since the bottle rocket starts from rest, its initial velocity is 0m/s.

To find the distance S, we would use the second equation of motion.

S = ut + ½at²

Substituting into the equation, we have

S = 0(2.25) + ½*14.5*2.25

S = 0 + 7.25*2.25

S = 16.3125m

Therefore, the bottle rocket covered a distance of 16.3125 meters.

What relationship must exist between an applied force and the velocity of a moving object if uniform circular motion is to result?

Answers

Note that the centripetal force is proportional to the square of the velocity, implying that a doubling of speed will require four times the centripetal force to keep the motion in a circle.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Centripetal force is defined as the inward force required to keep an object moving with a constant speed in a circular path.

The magnitude of this force depends on the mass of the object, radius of the object and the velocity of the body.

So we can write;

Explanation:

Given the data:

10.1,9.87, 9.76, 9.91, 9.75, 9.88, 9.69, 9.83, 9.90

True value = 9.81

Mean value :

Σx / n

Sample size, n = 9

(10.1 + 9.87 + 9.76 + 9.91 + 9.75 + 9.88 + 9.69 + 9.83 + 9.90) / 9

= 88.69 / 9

= 9.854

Standard deviation (σ) :

Sqrt (Σ(X - m)² / n)

[(10.1 - 9.854)^2 + (9.87 - 9.854)^2 + (9.76 - 9.854)^2 + (9.91 - 9.854)^2 + (9.75 - 9.854)^2 + (9.88 - 9.854)^2 + (9.69 - 9.854)^2 + (9.83 - 9.854)^2 + (9.90 - 9.854)^2] / 9

Sqrt(0.113824 / 9)

Sqrt(0.0126471)

σ = 0.1124593

Standard Error = σ / sqrt(n)

Standard Error = 0.1124593 / 9

Standard Error = 0.0124954

Explanation:

Impulse on an object is given by [tex]\mathrm{[impulse]}=F\Delta t[/tex].

However, it's also given as change in momentum (impulse-momentum theorem).

Therefore, we can set the change in momentum equal to the former formula for impulse:

[tex]\Delta p=F\Delta t[/tex].

Momentum is given by [tex]p=mv[/tex]. Because the truck's mass is maintained, only it's velocity is changing. Since the truck is being slowed from 26.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s, it's change in velocity is 8.0 m/s. Therefore, it's change in momentum is:

[tex]p=2500\cdot 8.0=20,000\:\mathrm{kg\cdot m/s}[/tex].

Now we plug in our values and solve:

A 71-kg swimmer dives horizontally off a 500-kg raft. If the diver's speed immediately after leaving the raft is 6m/s, what is the corresponding raft speed?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Momentum is used to measure the quantity of motion in an object. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

Momentum = mass * velocity

The principle of conservation of momentum states that momentum cannot be created or destroyed but  can be transferred. Therefore the momentum before and after an action is equal.

Initial momentum = Final momentum

Let m be the mass of the diver, M be the mass of the raft, u be the initial velocity of the diver, U be the initial velocity of the raft, v be the final velocity of the diver and V be the final velocity of the raft.

m = 71 kg, M = 500 kg, v = 6 m/s

Initial both the raft and diver are at rest, hence u and U is zero, hence:

mu + MU = mv + MV

71(0) + 500(0) = 71(6) + 500(V)

0 = 426 + 500(V)

500(V) = -426

V = -426/500

V = -0.852 m/s

Data is factual information not subject to bias.

This ultimately implies that, data connotes fact, thus, it is an information that is credible, accurate, a statement of truth, evidential and proven.

In Computer programming, a data dictionary can be defined as a centralized collection of information on a specific data such as attributes, names, fields and definitions that are being used in a computer database system.

In a data dictionary, data elements are combined into records, which are meaningful combinations of data elements that are included in data flows or retained in data stores.

This ultimately implies that, a data dictionary found in a computer database system typically contains the records about all the data elements (objects) such as data relationships with other elements, ownership, type, size, primary keys etc. This records are stored and communicated to other data when required or needed.

A 2 kg toy car moves at a speed of 5 m/s. If a child applies a 5N force for 2 m in the same direction the car is already moving, what is the change in kinetic energy of the car?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]10\: \mathrm{J}[/tex]

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is [tex]KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex], where [tex]m[/tex] is the mass of the object and [tex]v[/tex] is the velocity of the object.

The toy car's initial kinetic energy is [tex]KE_{i}=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 2\cdot 5^2=25\: \mathrm{J}[/tex].

After the child applies a 5N force on it in the same direction, its velocity will increase but its mass will stay the same.

To find the final velocity of the toy car, we can use kinematic equation [tex]v_f^2=v_i^2+2a\Delta x, \\ v_f=\sqrt{v_i^2+2a\Delta x}[/tex]

We are given [tex]v_i=5\: \mathrm{m/s}[/tex] and [tex]\Delta x = 2\: \mathrm{m}[/tex].

To find acceleration:

[tex]F=ma, a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{5}{2}=2.5\: \mathrm{m/s^2}[/tex].

Now substitute [tex]v_i=5\: \mathrm{m/s}, \: a=2\: \mathrm{m/s^2}, \: \Delta x = 2\: \mathrm{m}[/tex] into [tex]v_f=\sqrt{v_i^2+2a\Delta x}[/tex] to get [tex]v_f\approx 5.92\: \mathrm{m/s}[/tex].

Using this, we can find the final kinetic energy of the toy car is [tex]KE_f=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 2\cdot 5.92^2[/tex].

Thus, the change in kinetic energy is [tex]KE_f-KE_i=\frac{1}{2}\cdot2\cdot 5.92^2-\frac{1}{2}\cdot 2\cdot 5^2=\fbox{$10\: \mathrm{J}$}[/tex] (one significant figure).

The change in the kinetic energy of the car is 10 J.

The given parameters;

mass of the car, m = 2 kginitial velocity of the car, u = 5 m/sforce applied by the child, F = 5 Ndistance traveled, s = 2 m

The acceleration of the car is calculated as follows;

[tex]F = ma\\\\a = \frac{F}{m} \\\\a = \frac{5}{2} \\\\a = 2.5 \ m/s^2[/tex]

The final velocity of the car is calculated as follows;

[tex]v^2 = u^2 + 2as\\\\v = \sqrt{u^2 + 2as} \\\\v = \sqrt{5^2 \ + \ 2(2.5)(2)} \\\\v = 5.92 \ m/s[/tex]

The change in the kinetic energy of the car is calculated as follows;

[tex]\Delta K.E = \frac{1}{2} m(v^2 - u^2)\\\\\Delta K.E = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times (5.92^2\ - \ 5^2)\\\\\Delta K.E = 10 \ J[/tex]
