The block is made of A) Tin, as its specific heat capacity is
Explanation:
When an amount of energy Q is supplied to a sample of material of mass m, the temperature of the material increases by , according to the following equation
:
where 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
is the amount of energy supplied to the block
is the change in temperature of the material
Solving the equation for , we can find the specific heat capacity of the unknown sample:
And by comparing with tabular values, we can find that this value is approximately the specific heat capacity of tin.

Answer:
The coefficient of kinetic friction
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The length of the lane is
The speed of the truck is
Generally from the work-energy theorem we have that
Here N is the normal force acting on the truck which is mathematically represented as
is the change in kinetic energy which is mathematically represented as

Answer:
(a). The initial velocity is 28.58m/s
(b). The speed when touching the ground is 33.3m/s.
Explanation:
The equations governing the position of the projectile are
where is the initial velocity.
(a).
When the projectile hits the 50m mark, ; therefore,
solving for we get:
Thus, the projectile must hit the 50m mark in 1.75s, and this condition demands from equation (1) that
which gives
(b).
The horizontal velocity remains unchanged just before the projectile touches the ground because gravity acts only along the vertical direction; therefore,
the vertical component of the velocity is
which gives a speed of
