Answer:

0.50m/s

Explanation:

Average velocity is the change in displacement of a body with respect to time.

Velocity = ∆S/∆t

∆S = 100m - 70m

∆S = 30m

∆t = 2min - 1 min

∆t = 1min = 60secs

Substitute the given parameters into the formula for velocity

Velocity = 30m/60s

Velocity = 1/2 m/s

Average Velocity = 0.5m/s

The value of specific heat for copper is 390 J/kg⋅C∘, for aluminun is 900 J/kg⋅C∘, and for water is 4186 J/kg⋅C∘.
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The equilibrium temperature is

21.97°c

Explanation:

This problem bothers on the heat capacity of materials

Given data

specific heat capacities

copper is Cc =390 J/kg⋅C∘,

aluminun Ca = 900 J/kg⋅C∘,

water Cw = 4186 J/kg⋅C∘.

Mass of substances

Copper Mc = 235g

Aluminum Ma = 135g

Water Mw = 825g

Temperatures

Copper θc = 255°c

Water and aluminum calorimeter θ1= 16°c

Equilibrium temperature θf =?

Applying the principle of conservation of heat energy, heat loss by copper equal heat gained by aluminum calorimeter and water

McCc(θc-θf) =(MaCa+MwCw)(θf-θ1)

Substituting our data into the expression we have

235*390(255-θf)=

(135*900+825*4186)(θf-16)

91650(255-θf)=(3574950)(θf-16)

23.37*10^6-91650*θf=3.57*10^6θf- +57.2*10^6

Collecting like terms and rearranging

23.37*10^6+57.2*10^6=3.57*10^6θf+91650θf

8.2*10^6=3.66*10^6θf

θf=80.5*10^6/3.6*10^6

θf =21.97°c

When the wind kicks up dust and sand, the dust grains are charged. The small grains tend to get a negative charge, and the large
diamong [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Small grains are negatively charged by the wind while big grains is positively charged and remains at the ground . This process creates an electric field due to the presence of oppositely charged particles.

When ever electric field exists it is directed from a positive charge to a negative charge so the here electric field is towards an upwards direction.

Complete Question

An aluminum "12 gauge" wire has a diameter d of 0.205 centimeters. The resistivity ρ of aluminum is 2.75×10−8 ohm-meters. The electric field in the wire changes with time as E(t)=0.0004t2−0.0001t+0.0004 newtons per coulomb, where time is measured in seconds.

I = 1.2 A at time 5 secs.

Find the charge Q passing through a cross-section of the conductor between time 0 seconds and time 5 seconds.

Answer:

The charge is  Q =2.094 C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The diameter of the wire is  d =  0.205cm = 0.00205 \ m

     The radius of  the wire is  r =  \frac{0.00205}{2} = 0.001025  \ m

     The resistivity of aluminum is 2.75*10^{-8} \ ohm-meters.

       The electric field change is mathematically defied as

         E (t) =  0.0004t^2 - 0.0001 +0.0004

     

Generally the charge is  mathematically represented as

       Q = \int\limits^{t}_{0} {\frac{A}{\rho} E(t) } \, dt

Where A is the area which is mathematically represented as

       A =  \pi r^2 =  (3.142 * (0.001025^2)) = 3.30*10^{-6} \ m^2

 So

       \frac{A}{\rho} =  \frac{3.3 *10^{-6}}{2.75 *10^{-8}} =  120.03 \ m / \Omega

Therefore

      Q = 120 \int\limits^{t}_{0} { E(t) } \, dt

substituting values

      Q = 120 \int\limits^{t}_{0} { [ 0.0004t^2 - 0.0001t +0.0004] } \, dt

     Q = 120 [ \frac{0.0004t^3 }{3} - \frac{0.0001 t^2}{2} +0.0004t] }  \left | t} \atop {0}} \right.

From the question we are told that t =  5 sec

           Q = 120 [ \frac{0.0004t^3 }{3} - \frac{0.0001 t^2}{2} +0.0004t] }  \left | 5} \atop {0}} \right.

          Q = 120 [ \frac{0.0004(5)^3 }{3} - \frac{0.0001 (5)^2}{2} +0.0004(5)] }

         Q =2.094 C

A 20kg mass approaches a spring at a speed of 30 m/s. The mass compresses the spring 12cm before coming to a stop. Calculate the
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

625000 N/ m

Explanation:

m= 20 kg

v= 30 m/s

x= 12 cm

k = ?

Here when the mass when hits at spring its speed is

Vi= 30 m/s

Finally it comes to rest after compressing for 12 cm

i-e Vf = 0 m/s

Distance= S= 12 cm = 0.12 m

using

2aS= Vf2 - Vi2

==> 2a ×0.12 = o- 30 × 30

==> a = 900 ÷ 0.24 = 3750 m/sec2

Now we know;

F = ma

F= -Kx

==> ma= -kx

==> 20 × 3750 = -K × 0.12

==> k = 625000 N/ m
