A bar of pure gold is heated to 95.0 degrees Celsius. The specific heat capacity of gold is 1.29 X 10^2. The gold is placed into

500 mL of ethyl alcohol initially at a temperature of 25 Celsius. The final temperature of the mixture is 27.0 Celsius. What is the mass of the gold?

First we have to use conservation of energy, that<em> the heat transferred from gold to the alcohol used to raise the temperature of the alcohol by 2 degrees. 
                  </em><em>     the heat lost by gold = heat required by the methyl 
   (m of gold)(C of gold)(dTof gold) = (m of ethyl)(C of ethyl)(dT of ethyl) 
</em>
<em />  where;
<em>m of gold is the unknown to be determined
c of gold is the specific heat of gold
dT of gold is the change in temperature in gold
m of ethyl is the mass of ethyl alcohol
C of ethyl is the specific heat of ethyl
dT is the change in temperature in ethyl alcohol
</em>
<em />   now
<em>                                        mass of gold = unknown
                                               c of gold = 129
                                  dT of gold = 95 - 25 = 68 degrees
                     m of ethyl = density of ethyl * volume of ethyl
                              789 X 0.5 X 10^(-3) = 0.3945
                                 <u>mass of gold = 0.3945 kg</u>
</em>

For an object starting from rest and accelerating with constant acceleration, distance traveled is proportional to the square of
natali 33 [55]

The problem states that the distance travelled (d) is directly proportional to the square of time (t^2), therefore we can write this in the form of:

d = k t^2

where k is the constant of proportionality in furlongs / s^2

 

<span>Using the 1st condition where d = 2 furlongs, t = 2 s, we calculate for the value of k:</span>

2 = k (2)^2

k = 2 / 4

k = 0.5 furlongs / s^2

The equation becomes:

d = 0.5 t^2

 

Now solving for d when t = 4:

d = 0.5 (4)^2

d = 0.5 * 16

<span>d = 8 furlongs</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>It traveled 8 furlongs for the first 4.0 seconds.</span>

The electric potential in a particular region of space varies only as a function of y-position and is given by the function V(y)
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

E = 55.9583\ Volts/meter

Explanation:

First let's find the electric potential using y = 22.5:

V(y) = 1.69y^2 +15.6y+52.5

V(22.5) = 1.69(22.5)^2 + 15.6*22.5 + 52.5

V(22.5) = 1259.0625\ Volts

Then, to find the magnitude of the electric field, we just need to divide the electric potential by the distance y:

E = V/d

E = 1259.0625/22.5

E = 55.9583\ Volts/meter
