thermal contact. The specific heat of aluminum is more than double that of copper. Which object experiences the greater temperature change during the time the system takes to reach thermal equilibrium?
a) It is impossible to tell without knowing the volumes.
b) It is impossible to tell without knowing the masses.
c) The copper experiences a greater temperature change.
d) Neither; both objects experience the same magnitude temperature change.

Answer:

b) It is impossible to tell without knowing the masses.

Explanation:

The temperature change of a substance when it receives/gives off a certain amount of heat Q is given by

\Delta T= \frac{Q}{m C_s}

where

Q is the amount of heat

m is the mass of the substance

Cs is the specific heat capacity of the substance

In this case, we have a hot piece of aluminum in contact with a cold piece of copper: the amount of heat given off by the aluminum is equal to the amount of heat absorbed by the copper, so Q is the same for the two substances. However, we see that the temperature change of the two substances depends on two other factors: the mass, m, and the specific heat, Cs. So, since we know only the specific heat of the two substances, but not their mass, we can't tell which object will experience the greater temperature change.

A turntable rotates counterclockwise at 76 rpm . A speck of dust on the turntable is at 0.47 rad at t=0. What is the angle of th
icang [17]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of angular motion.

By definition we know that the displacement when there is constant angular velocity is

\theta= \theta_0 +\omega t

From our given data we know that,

\omega = 76\frac{rev}{min}

\omega = 76\frac{rev}{min}(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})(\frac{1 min}{60s})

\omega = 7.958rad/s

Moreover we know that

\theta_0 = 0.47 rad

Therefore for time t=8.1s we have,

\theta= \theta_0+ \omega t

\theta= 0.47+(7.958)(8.1)

\theta = 64.9298rad

That number in revolution is:

\theta = 64.9298rad(\frac{1rev}{2\pi})

\theta = 15.108 Revolutions

Here, we see that there are 15 complete revolutions

And 0.108 revolutions i not complete, so the tunable rotation is

\theta_{net} = 0.108*2\pi=0.216\pi

Therefore the angle of the speck at a time 8.1s is 0.216\pi

The human eye can respond to as little as 10^−18 J of light energy. For a wavelength at the peak of visual sensitivity, 550 nm,
Bumek [7]
<span>The key equation is going to come from Mr Planck: E=h \nu

Where h is Plancks constant; and ν is the frequency. This equation gives you the energy per photon at a given frequency. Alas, you're given wavelength, but that's easy enough to convert to frequency given the following equation:

c= lambda / nu

where c is the speed of light; λ (lambda) is the wavelength; and ν is again frequency. As soon as you know the energy of a photon with a wavelength of 550nm, you should know how many photons you would require to accumulate 10^-18J. Be careful with your units.</span>

A runner generates 1260 W of thermal energy. If this heat has to be removed only by evaporation, how much water does this runner
sergey [27]

Answer:0.502kg

Explanation:

F4om the relation

Power x time = mass x latent heat of vapourization

P.t=ML

1260 * 15 *60 = M * 22.6 * 10^5

M= 1134000/(22.6 *10^5)

M=0.502kg=502g

How does increasing the distance between charged objects affect the electric force between them? the electric force increases be
konstantin123 [22]

the electric force decreases because the distance has an indirect relationship to the force

Explanation:

The electric force between two objects is given by

F=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the charges of the two objects

r is the distance between the two objects

As we can see from the formula, the magnitude of the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance: so, when the distance between the object increases, the magnitude of the force decreases.
