The block is made of A) Tin, as its specific heat capacity is $0.225 J/(g^{\circ}C)$

Explanation:

When an amount of energy Q is supplied to a sample of material of mass m, the temperature of the material increases by $\Delta T$ , according to the following equation :

$Q=mC_s \Delta T$

where $C_s$ is the specific heat capacity of the material.

In this problem, we have:

m = 2 kg = 2000 g is the mass of the unknown material

$Q = 450 J$ is the amount of energy supplied to the block

$\Delta T = 1^{\circ}C$ is the change in temperature of the material

Solving the equation for $C_s$ , we can find the specific heat capacity of the unknown sample:

$C_s = \frac{Q}{m \Delta T}=\frac{450}{(2000)(1)}=0.225 J/(g^{\circ}C)$

And by comparing with tabular values, we can find that this value is approximately the specific heat capacity of tin.

Assume you have a rocket in Earth orbit and want to go to Mars. The required change in velocity is ΔV≈9.6km/s . There are two op

Nostrana [21]

Answer: Part 1: Propellant Fraction (MR) = 8.76

Part 2: Propellant Fraction (MR) = 1.63

Explanation: The Ideal Rocket Equation is given by:

Δv = $v_{ex}.ln(\frac{m_{f}}{m_{e}} )$

Where:

$v_{ex}$ is relationship between exhaust velocity and specific impulse

$\frac{m_{f}}{m_{e}}$ is the porpellant fraction, also written as MR.

The relationship $v_{ex}$ is: $v_{ex} = g_{0}.Isp$

To determine the fraction:

Δv = $v_{ex}.ln(\frac{m_{f}}{m_{e}} )$

$ln(MR) = \frac{v}{v_{ex}}$

Knowing that change in velocity is Δv = 9.6km/s and $g_{0}$ = 9.81m/s²

Note: Velocity and gravity have different measures, so to cancel them out, transform km in m by multiplying velocity by 10³.

Part 1: Isp = 450s

$ln(MR) = \frac{v}{v_{ex}}$

ln(MR) = $\frac{9.6.10^{3}}{9.81.450}$

ln (MR) = 2.17

MR = $e^{2.17}$

MR = 8.76

Part 2: Isp = 2000s

$ln(MR) = \frac{v}{v_{ex}}$

ln (MR) = $\frac{9.6.10^{3}}{9.81.2.10^{3}}$

ln (MR) = 0.49

MR = $e^{0.49}$

MR = 1.63

The U.S. Department of Energy had plans for a 1500-kg automobile to be powered completely by the rotational kinetic energy of a

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

230

Explanation:

$\omega$ = Rotational speed = 3600 rad/s

I = Moment of inertia = 6 kgm²

m = Mass of flywheel = 1500 kg

v = Velocity = 15 m/s

The kinetic energy of flywheel is given by

$K=\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}6\times 3600^2\\\Rightarrow K=38880000\ J$

Energy used in one acceleration

$K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}1500\times 15^2\\\Rightarrow K=168750\ J$

Number of accelerations would be given by

$n=\dfrac{38880000}{168750}\\\Rightarrow n=230.4$

So the number of complete accelerations is 230

A boy uses a slingshot to launch a pebble straight up into the air. The pebble reaches a height of 37.0 m above the launch point

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

V0=27.4 m/s; t=0.8 s

Explanation:

Final position y=37.0 m, time = 2.3 s; Initial position is set to be zero. We calculate the initial speed with the kinematics equation:

$y_f=v_0t-0.5*g*t^2$ We solve for initial speed

$v_0=\frac{y_f+0.5gt^2}{t}=\frac{37+4.9*2.3^2}{2.3}=27.4m/s$

Now, using the same expression we estimated time to first reach 18.5 m :

$18.5=27.4t-4.9t^2$ Second order equation with solutions

t1=0.8 s and t2=4.8 s

The first time corresponds to the first reach.

Reika [66]

When the system is experiencing a uniformly accelerated motion, there are a set of equations to work from. In this case, work is energy which consist solely of kinetic energy. That is, 1/2*m*v2. First, let's find the final velocity.

a = (vf - v0)/t
2.6 = (vf - 0)/4
vf = 10.4 m/s

Then W = 1/2*(2100 kg)*(10.4 m/s)2
W = 113568 J = 113.57 kJ

A. Why is the stratosphere considered a "stable" layer in the atmosphere?

vovangra [49]

Answer:

A. Stratosphere is said to be stable layer of the atmosphere when cool air sinks and warm air rises.Due to the fact that cool air has tendency to sink ,the air is not going fluctuating up and down in the stratosphere. This means that the air remains stationary or particles remains there for a very long duration.

B. If the lifted index is negative then the parcel temperature is warmer than the actual temperature. In addition, the parcel that is less warm than the surrounding will be less dense and will rise.

C. The water vapor come from different kinds of fronts; gust fronts from existing storms as their downdraft hits the surface, spreads and lifts air in front, upper air disturbances and surface heating by solar radiation making an unbalanced vertical profile .

D. the threshold used by storm chasers to assess if the dew point temperature is high enough to produce large thunderstorms is moisture ,the surface dew point needs to be 55 degrees fahrenheit or greater for a surface based thunderstorm to occur.

E. Wind shear is the change in wind direction or speed with height in an atmosphere.
