A 425-g piece of metal at 100°C is dropped into a 100-g aluminum cup containing 500 g of water at 15°C. The final temperature of the system is 40°C. What is the specific heat of the metal, assuming no heat is exchanged with the surroundings? The specific heat of aluminum is 900 J/kg°C.

a. 2140 J/(kg•K)
b. 3800 J/(kg•K)
c. 3300 J/(kg•K)
d. 1900 J/(kg•K)
e. 4280 J/(kg•K)

Answers

Answer 1

The specific heat of the metal, assuming no heat is exchanged with the surroundings is 2140 J/(kg•K).

Specific heat capacity of the metal

The specific heat capacity of the metal is determined from the principle of conservation of energy.

energy lost by the metal = energy gained by aluminum + energy gained by water

Q = mcΔθ

where;

m is mass (kg)c is specific heat capacityΔθ is change in temperature

0.425c(100 - 40) = 0.1(900)(40 - 15) + 0.5(4186)(40 - 15)

25.5c = 2250 + 52,325

c = 54,575/25.5

c = 2140 J/(kg•K)

An object has an initial velocity of 15 m/s and a constant acceleration of 4 m/s2. How long will it take before its final velocity is equal to three times its initial velocity?

Answers

Based on the calculations, it would take 7.5 seconds before the final velocity of this object would be equal to three times its initial velocity.

Given the following data:

Initial velocity = 15 m/s.Constant acceleration = 4 m/s².Final velocity = 3 × 15 = 45 m/s.

How to calculate the acceleration of an object?

Mathematically, acceleration can be calculated by using the first equation of motion:

v = u + at

Where:  

v is the final velocity.u is the initial velocity.t is the time measured in seconds.

Making t the subject of formula, we have:

t = (v - u)/a

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have:

t = (45 - 15)/4

t = 30/4

t = 7.5 seconds.

?How much work is done by 5 kg water as it is evaporated at 10 bar pressure​

Answers

Answer:

The (latent) heat of vaporization (∆Hvap) also known as the enthalpy of vaporization or evaporation, is the amount of energy (enthalpy) that must be added to a liquid substance, to transform a given quantity of the substance into a gas.

The enthalpy of vaporization is a function of the pressure at which that transformation takes place. The heat of vaporization diminishes with increasing temperature and it vanishes completely at a certain point called the critical temperature (Critical temperature for water: 373.946 °C  or 705.103 °F,  Critical pressure: 220.6 bar = 22.06 MPa  = 3200 psi ).

Answers

The force required to punch a hole 1 cm in diameter in a steel sheet is 0.176 x 10¹³ N.

What is force?

The force is defined as the shear stress or pressure applied per unit area.

F = P/A

Given is a steel sheet whose thickness t = 5mm = 5x 10⁻³ m, shearing strength P = 2.76 × 10⁸ N/m², diameter of hole d = 1cm = 1x 10⁻² m

The area to be punched A = πd xt

A = π x 1x 10⁻² x5x 10⁻³

A = 15.7 x 10⁻⁵ m²

The force required to punch a hole is

F = 2.76 × 10⁸ /  15.7 x 10⁻⁵

F = 0.176 x 10¹³ N.
