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.

lukranit [14]

Answer:

By 16.7% or 0.167 IPM

Explanation:

Substracting the final IPM (6.088) to the initial IPM (5.921) gives us the net difference, which is how much did it increase in IPM. Multiplying this number by 100 gives us the percentual increase in the feed rate.

A child pushes her toy across a level floor at a steady velocity of 0.50 m/s using an applied force of 2.0 N. If the weight of t

choli [55]

Since toy is moving at constant speed that means that force that child is applying on toy is equal to force of friction.

Rate of speed that toy is moving is irelevant.

childs force is:
Fc = 2N
Fc = Ff (Ff -friction force)

Ff = a*Q

where Q is weight of the toy and a is friction

if we express a we get
a = F/Q = 2/8 = 0.25

A pillow is thrown downward with an initial speed of 6 m/s.

Yuri [45]

Given :

Initial velocity, u = -6 m/s.

Time taken, t = 4 seconds.

Acceleration due to gravity, $g = -9.8\ m/s^2$ .( Here negative sign means downward direction )

To Find :

Velocity after 4 seconds.

Solution :

By equation of motion.

v = u + at

Here , a = g.

v = u + gt

v = -6 + (-9.8)×4

v = -6 + (-39.2)

v = -45.2 m/s

Therefore, velocity after 4 seconds is -45.2 m/s.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Two astronauts on opposite ends of a spaceship are comparing lunches. One has an apple, the other has an orange. They decide to

german

Answer: v= 1.23 m/s θ = 75.3º

Explanation:

First of all, we define the direction in which both fruits are tossed as the x axis, so all initial momenta have horizontal components only.

Now, if no external forces act during collision (due to the infinitesimal time during which collision takes place) momentum must be conserved.

As momentum is a vector, both components must be conserved, so we can write the following equations:

p₁ₓ = p₂ₓ ⇒ -m₁ . vi₁ +m₂. vi₂ = m₁ . vf₁ . cos θ (1)

p₁y = p₂y ⇒ 0 =m₂ . vf₂ - m₁. vf₁. sin θ (2)

Replacing by the values of m1, m₂, vi₁, vi₂, and vf₂, we can calculate the value of the angle θ, that the apple forms with the horizontal, as follows:

(1) -0.13 Kg. 1.05 m/s + 0.15 Kg. 1.18 m/s = 0.13. vf . cos θ

(2) 0.15 Kg. 1.03 m/s = 0.13 vf. sin θ

sin θ / cos θ = 3.82 ⇒ tg θ = 3.82 ⇒ θ = arc tg (3.82) = 75.3º

Replacing this value of θ in (2), we get:

0.15 kg. 1.03 m/s = 0.13 vf . sin 75.3º = 0.13 . vf . 0.967

Solving for vf, we get:

vf = 0.15 kg. 1.03 m/s / 0.13. 0.967 = 1.23 m/s
