Mass of iron piece,
[tex]m_p=42 \ kg[/tex]
Mass of iron bucket,
[tex]m_I=5 \ kg[/tex]
Mass of water,
[tex]m_w=10 \ kg[/tex]
Iron's specific heat,
[tex]C_I=470 \ J/Kg^{\circ}C[/tex]
Water's specific heat,
[tex]C_w=4186 \ J/Kg^{\circ}C[/tex]
Initial temperature,

Final equilibrium temperature,
[tex]T=150^{\circ}C[/tex]
Latent heat,
[tex]L_v=2260\times 10^3 \ J/Kg[/tex]
As we know,
The heat lost by the glowing piece of iron will be equal to the heat gain by the iron bucket as well as water, then
⇒ [tex]m_IC_I \Delta T=m_wC_w(100-23)+m_wL_v+m_bC_I(150-23)[/tex]
On substituting the given values, we get
⇒ [tex]42\times 420\times \Delta T=10\times 4186(100-23)+10(2260\times 10^3)+5\times 420(150-23)[/tex]
⇒ [tex]17640 \Delta T=3.22\times 10^6+2.26\times 10^7+2.667\times 10^5[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\Delta T=\frac{2.60867\times 10^7}{17640}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\Delta T=1479^{\circ}C[/tex]
Which letter represents the
South American Plate
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Where it shows on the map is B
Part A
Playing in the street, a child accidentally tosses a ball (mass m) with a speed of v=18 m/s toward the front of a car (mass M) that is moving directly toward him with a speed of V=20 m/s . Treat this collision as a 1-dimensional elastic collision. After the collision, the ball is moving with speed v′ back toward the child and the car is moving with speed V′ in its original direction.
Part B
When we combine the equation from Part A with the conservation of momentum equation, we can solve for both final speeds. This relationship will involve the masses of the ball and the car, but we can apply a simplifying assumption: the car is so massive compared with the ball that its speed will not change at all as a result of this collision. Translate this sentence into an equation, what is V′ equal to? Now, having made this assumption, it becomes possible to solve the equation from Part A for the final speed of the ball, what is it?
Answer:
v' = -18 m/s
Explanation:
Assuming no external forces acting during the collision, total momentum must be conserved, as follows:[tex]p_{o} = p_{f} (1)[/tex]
The initial momentum can be expressed as follows (taking as positive the initial direction of the ball):[tex]m_{b} * v_{b} -M_{c}*V_{c} = m_{b} * 18 m/s + (-M_{c}* 20 m/s) (2)[/tex]
The final momentum can be expressed as follows (since we know that v'b is opposite to the initial vb):[tex]-(m_{b} * v'_{b}) + M_{c}*V'_{c} (3)[/tex]
If we assume that Mc >> mb, we can assume that the car doesn't change its speed at all as a result of the collision, so we can replace V'c by Vc in (3).So, we can write again (3) as follows:[tex]-(m_{b} * v'_{b}) +(- M_{c}*V_{c}) = -(m_{b} * v'_{b}) + (-M_{c} * 20 m/s) (4)[/tex]
Replacing (2) and (4) in (1), we get:[tex]m_{b} * 18 m/s + (-M_{c}* 20 m/s) = -(m_{b} * v'_{b}) + (-M_{c} * 20 m/s) (5)[/tex]
Simplifying, and rearranging, we can solve for v'b, as follows:[tex]v'_{b} = -18 m/s (6)[/tex], which is reasonable, because everything happens as if the ball had hit a wall, and the ball simply had inverted its speed after the collision.Explain why Large change in temperature makes heat flow fast and a small change does not.
Answer: Because of the amount of energy
Explanation: Heat is an energy, and small amounts of it does not effect large areas, whereas a very large blast of heat energy can greatly effect the air

Answer:
b
Explanation:
Determine experimentally which rotational axis yields the maximum rotational inertia (i.e., moment of inertia) and which yields the minimum rotational inertia for the broom stick. Draw a picture of the broom stick with its axis of rotation for (i) the minimum rotational inertia and (ii) the maximum rotational inertia.
Answer:
the maximum is I₁ axis of rotation at the end
the minimum moment is I₂ axis of rotation at the center of mass
Explanation:
For this exercise we use the definition moment of inertia
I = ∫ r² dm
for bodies of high symmetry it is tabulated; In this case we can approximate a broomstick to a thin rod, the moment of inertia with respect to a perpendicular axis when varying are
at one end
I₁ = ⅓ mL²
in in center
I₂ = [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex] m L²
There is another possible axis of rotation around the axis of the broom, in this case we have a solid cylinder
I₃ = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] m r²
remember that the diameter of the broom is much smaller than its length, therefore this moment of inertia is very small
when examining the different moments of inertia:
the maximum is I₁ axis of rotation at the end
the minimum moment is I₂ axis of rotation at the center of mass
A 175-kg roller coaster car starts from rest at the top of an 18.0-m hill and rolls down the hill, then up a second hill that has a height of 8.0 m. When the car reaches the top of the second hill, its speed is 11 m/s. Determine the work done by non-conservative forces on the car as it travels from the top of the first hill to the top of the second hill.
Answer:
The work done by non-conservative forces on the car from the top of the first hill to the top of the second hill is 6574.75 joules.
Explanation:
By Principle of Energy Conservation and Work-Energy Theorem we present the equations that describe the situation of the roller coaster car on each top of the hill. Let consider that bottom has a height of zero meters.
From top of the first hill to the bottom
[tex]m\cdot g \cdot h_{1} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v_{1}^{2} +W_{1, loss}[/tex] (1)
From the bottom to the top of the second hill
[tex]\frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v_{1}^{2} = m\cdot g \cdot h_{2} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{2}^{2}+W_{2,loss}[/tex] (2)
Where:
[tex]m[/tex] - Mass of the roller coaster car, in kilograms.
[tex]v_{1}[/tex] - Speed of the roller coaster car at the bottom between the two hills, in meters per second.
[tex]g[/tex] - Gravitational acceleration, in meters per square second.
[tex]h_{1}[/tex] - Height of the first top of the hill with respect to the bottom, in meters.
[tex]W_{1, loss}[/tex] - Work done by non-conservative forces on the car between the top of the first hill and the bottom, in joules.
[tex]v_{2}[/tex] - Speed of the roller coaster car at the top of the second hill, in meters per seconds.
[tex]h_{2}[/tex] - Height of the second top of the hill with respect to the bottom, in meters.
[tex]W_{2, loss}[/tex] - Work done by non-conservative forces on the car bewteen the bottom between the two hills and the top of the second hill, in joules.
By using (1) and (2), we reduce the system of equation into a sole expression:
[tex]m\cdot g\cdot h_{1} = m\cdot g\cdot h_{2} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{2}^{2} + W_{loss}[/tex] (3)
Where [tex]W_{loss}[/tex] is the work done by non-conservative forces on the car from the top of the first hill to the top of the second hill, in joules.
If we know that [tex]m = 175\,kg[/tex], [tex]g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex], [tex]h_{1} = 18\,m[/tex], [tex]h_{2} = 8\,m[/tex] and [tex]v_{2} = 11\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], then the work done by non-conservative force is:
[tex]W_{loss} = m\cdot\left[ g\cdot \left(h_{1}-h_{2}\right)-\frac{1}{2}\cdot v_{2}^{2} \right][/tex]
[tex]W_{loss} = 6574.75\,J[/tex]
The work done by non-conservative forces on the car from the top of the first hill to the top of the second hill is 6574.75 joules.
A piano string having a mass per unit length equal to 4.80 ✕ 10−3 kg/m is under a tension of 1,200 N. Find the speed with which a wave travels on this string.
Answer:
500 m/s
Explanation:
From the question,
V = √(T/m')................. Equation 1
Where V = Speed with which the wave travels on the string, T = Tension of the string, m' = Mass per unit length of the string.
Given: T = 1200 N, m' = 4.80×10⁻³ kg/m
Substitute these values into equation 1
V = √(1200/4.80×10⁻³)
V = √(250000)
V = 500 m/s
Hence the speed of the wave in the string is 500 m/s
Equal amounts of heat are added to equal masses of ice and copper at the same initial temperature. Which substance will have the higher final temperature?

How much greater will that temperature change be than the temperature change of the other substance?
larger ΔT/smaller ΔT
= ?
One of the major effects of heat transfer is temperature change: heating increases the temperature while cooling decreases it. We assume that there is no phase change and that no work is done on or by the system. Experiments show that the transferred heat depends on three factors—the change in temperature, the mass of the system, and the substance and phase of the substance.
Figure a shows a copper-colored cylinder of mass m and temperature change delta T. The heat Q, shown as a wavy rightward horizontal arrow, is transferred to the cylinder from the left. To the right of this image is a similar image, except that the heat transferred Q prime is twice the heat Q. The temperature change of this second cylinder, which is also labeled m, is two delta T. This cylinder is surrounded by small black wavy lines radiating outward. Figure b shows the same two cylinders as in Figure a. The left cylinder is labeled m and delta T and has a wavy heat arrow pointing at it from the left that is labeled Q. The right cylinder is labeled two m and delta T and has a wavy heat arrow pointing to it from the left labeled Q prime equals two Q. Figure c shows the same copper cylinder of mass m and with temperature change delta T, with heat Q being transferred to it. To the right of this cylinder, Q prime equals ten point eight times Q is being transferred to another cylinder filled with water whose mass and change in temperature are the same as that of the copper cylinder.

A trailer truck with a 2000 [kg] cab and a 8000 [kg] trailer is traveling on a level road at 90 [km/hr].The brakes on the trailer fail, and the anti-skid system of the cab provides the largest possible forcewhich will not cause the wheels of the cab to slide. Knowing that the coefficient of static friction isμs= 0.65, determine (a) the shortest time for the rig to come to a stop, (b) the force in the couplingduring that time.
Answer:
a) t = 19.6 s, b) fr = 1.274 10⁴ N
Explanation:
This is a Newton's second law problem
Y Axis
for the cabin
N₁-W₁ = 0
N₁ = W₁
for the trailer
N₂- W₂ = 0
N₂ = W₂
X axis
for the cabin plus trailer, where friction is only in the cabin
fr = (m₁ + m₂) a
the friction force equation is
fr = μ N
we substitute
μ N₁ = (m₁ + m₂) a
μ m₁ g = (m₁ + m₂) a
a = μ g [tex]\frac{m_1}{m_1 + m_2}[/tex]
let's calculate
a = 0.65 9.8 [tex]\frac{2000}{2000+8000}[/tex]
a = 1,274 m / s²
a) to find the stopping distance we can use kinematics
Let's slow down the sI system
v₀ = 90 km / h (1000 m / 1km) (1h / 3600s) = 25 m / s
v = v₀ - a t
when it is stopped its speed is zero
0 = v₀ - at
t = v₀ / a
t = 25 / 1.274
t = 19.6 s
b) the friction force is
fr = 0.65 2000 9.8
fr = 1.274 10⁴ N
This is the braking force and also the forces that couple the cars.
A satellite, moving in an elliptical orbit, is 368 km above Earth's surface at its farthest point and 164 km above at its closest point. (a) Calculate the semimajor axis of the orbit. Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. m (b) Calculate the eccentricity of the orbit. Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. Did you find the semimajor axis a from the greatest and smallest radii
Answer:
a) 6636 km
b) 0.0154
Explanation:
The height above the earth at its furthest point is 368 km
The height above the earth at its closest point is 164 km
Radius of the Earth is 6370 km
The distance of the satellite from the center of the earth to the furthest point is 6370 + 368 km = 6738 km
The distance of the satellite from the center of the earth to the closest point is 6370 + 164 = 6534 km
If we add together the sum of the distance of the satellite from the furthest and its closest distance, it is equal to the 2 major semi axis.
Basically,
2a = R + r
a = (R + r) / 2
a = (6738 + 6534) / 2
a = 13272 / 2
a = 6636 km
Eccentricity, e = (a - r) / a
Eccentricity, e = (6636 - 6534) / 6636
Eccentricity, e = 102 / 6636
Eccentricity, e = 0.0154
The speed of sound in air is around 330 m/s. If a bat emits a single high-pitched ‘click’ of sound in a cave that is 25m wide, calculate the time taken for the echo of the sound to return to the bat.
Answer:
0.15 s
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Speed of sound (v) = 330 m/s
Distance (x) = 25 m
Time (t) =?
The time taken for the echo of the sound to the bat can be obtained as follow:
v = 2x / t
330 = 2 × 25 / t
330 = 50 / t
Cross multiply
330 × t = 50
Divide both side by 330
t = 50 / 330
t = 0.15 s
Thus, it will take 0.15 s for the echo of the sound to the bat

2. Bank robbers have pushed a 1000 kg safe to a second story floor-to-ceiling window. They plan to break the window, then lower the safe 3.0 m to their truck. They stack up 500 kg of furniture, tie a rope between the rope and the furniture, and then place the rope over a pulley. Then they push the safe out of the window. What is the safe speed when it hits the truck
Answer:
5.4 m/s
Explanation:
Given that
Mass of the safe, m1 = 1000 kg
Distance to lower the safe, d = 3 m
Mass of furniture, m2 = 500 kg.
Speed of the safe, v = ?
To get the final speed by the time that the safe hits the truck, we first find its acceleration.
The total mass of the system is M = 1000 + 500 kg = 1500 kg
One of the forces acting on the system is that of gravity, and it acts on the safe friction acting on the furniture. Using the formula, we have
= m1*g - mu*m2g
= 1000 * 9.81 - 0.5 * 500 * 9.81
= 7357.5 N
From this calculated weight, we find the acceleration.
Acceleration, a = F/m
Acceleration, a = 7357.5 / 1500
Acceleration, a = 4.905 m/s²
From the question, we know that the Initial speed = 0 m/s
So, employing the use of one of the equations of motion, we have
v² - u² = 2aS
v² - 0 = 2 * 4.905 * 3
v² = 29.43
v = √29.43
v = 5.4 m/s

A thin uniform-density rod whose mass is 3.0 kg and whose length is 2.6 m rotates around an axis perpendicular to the rod, with angular speed 37 radians/s. Its center moves with a speed of 13 m/s. (a) What is its rotational kinetic energy
Answer:
rotational kinetic energy is 1156.81 J
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
first we find the moment of inertia of the rod as axis passes through the middle or center;
[tex]I = \frac{1}{12}ml^2[/tex]
where m is the mass of the road( 3.0 kg)
[tex]l[/tex] is the length of the rod ( 2.6 m )
so we substitute
[tex]I = \frac{1}{12}[/tex] × 3 × (2.6)²
[tex]I[/tex] = 1.69 kg.m²
now, to calculate the rotational kinetic energy,
kinetic energy due to rotation is;
KE[tex]_R[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}Iw^2[/tex]
where [tex]I[/tex] is moment of inertia( 1.69 kg.m² ),
w is angular frequency ( 37 radians/s )
we substitute
KE[tex]_R[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 1.69 × ( 37 radians/s )²
KE[tex]_R[/tex] = 1156.81 J
Therefore, rotational kinetic energy is 1156.81 J
The rotational kinetic energy will be 1156.81 J. It is half of the product of the moment of inertia and angular speed.
What is rotational kinetic energy?The rotational kinetic energy is the kinetic energy generated by an object's rotation and It is a component of its overall kinetic energy.
The given data in the problem is;
m is the mass = 3.0 kg
l is the length = 2.6 m
[tex]\rm \omega[/tex] is the angular speed = 37 radians/s
v is the speed = 13 m/s
[tex]\rm E_k[/tex] is the rotational kinetic energy=?
The momentum of inertia is found by;
[tex]\rm I = \frac{1}{12} ml^2 \\\\ \rm I = \frac{1}{12} \times 3 \times (2.6)^2 \\\\\ \rm I = 1.69 \kg.m^2[/tex]
The rotational kinetic energy is found by;
[tex]\rm E_k= \frac{1}{2}I (\omega)^2 \\\\ \rm E_k= \frac{1}{2}\times 1.69 (37)^2 \\\\ \rm E_k=1156.81 \ J[/tex]

A capacitor with an initial potential difference of 100 V is discharged through a resistor when a switch between them is closed at t 0.At t 10.0 s, the potential difference across the capacitor is 1.00 V. (a) What is the time constant of the circuit
Answer:
τ = RC = 2.17 s
Explanation:
The voltage through a capacitor can't change instantaneously, so immediately after the switch is closed, the potential difference will keep at 100 V.This voltage will produce a flow of charge (a current) from the capacitor to the resistor, which will be diminishing continuously, till the capacitor be totally discharged, and the current becomes zero.The voltage through the capacitor will follow an exponential function of time, as follows:[tex]V_{C} =V_{o} * e^{-t/RC} (1)[/tex]
Replacing by the givens in (1):[tex]V_{C} = 1.00 V\\V_{o} = 100V\\t = 10.0 s[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1.00V}{100 V} = e^{-10s/RC} (2)[/tex]
Taking ln on both sides in (2), and solving for RC, we have:[tex]R*C= \frac{-10s}{ln 0.01} = 2.17s (3)[/tex]
So, the time constant of the circuit (the product of R times C) is equal to 2.17s.two identical springs, each with a spring force constant k, are attached end to end. If a weight is hung from a single spring, it stretches the spring by a distance d. When this same mass is hung from the end of the two springs, which, again, are connected end-to-end, the total stretch of these springs is
Answer:
Δx = 2*d
Explanation:
According to Hooke's Law, in order to the mass be in equilibrium, when attached to one spring, no net force must act on it, so the algebraic sum of the elastic force and gravity must be zero, as follows:[tex]k*\Delta x = m*g (1)[/tex]
If we hang the mass from the end of the two springs attached end to end, in order to be in equilibrium, the total elastic force must be equal to gravity, as we have already said.We can express this elastic force, as the product of a Keff times the distance stretched by the two springs combined, as follows:[tex]F = k_{eff} * \Delta x_{eff} = m*g (2)[/tex]
Due to F is a tension, it will be the same at any point of the chain of springs, so we can write the following expression, for the distance stretched by any of the springs:[tex]\Delta x_{1} = \frac{F}{\ k_{1} } (3)[/tex]
The total distance stretched will be the sum of the distances stretched by any spring individually:[tex]\Delta x_{} = \frac{F}{\ k_{1} } + \frac{F}{\ k_{2} } (4)[/tex]
Replacing (4) in (2) and rearranging, we have:[tex]\frac{F}{k_{eff} } = \frac{F}{\ k_{1} } + \frac{F}{\ k_{2} } (5)[/tex]
Since k₁ = k₂ = k, we can find keff, as follows:
[tex]k_{eff} = \frac{k^{2} }{2*k} = \frac{k}{2} (6)[/tex]
Replacing (6) in (2), and making (2) equal to (1) we finally get:[tex]F = \frac{k}{2} * \Delta x_{eff} = k*\Delta x = m*g (7)[/tex]
Solving for Δxeff:[tex]\Delta x_{eff} = \frac{2*k*\Delta x}{k} = 2* \Delta x = 2*d (8)[/tex]

to measure the static friction coefficient between a block and a vertical wall, a spring is attached to the block, is pushed on the end in a direction perpendicular to the wall until the block does not slip downward. If the spring is compressed, what is the coefficient of static friction
Answer:
μ = mg/kx
Explanation:
Since the bock does not slip, the frictional force equals the weight of the block. So, F = mg. Now, the frictional force, F = μN where μ = coefficient of static friction and N = Normal force.
Now, the normal force equals the spring force F' = kx where k = spring constant and x = compression of spring.
N = F' = kx
So, F = μN = μkx
μkx = mg
So, μ = mg/kx
