Answer : The temperature when the water and pan reach thermal equilibrium short time later is,
Explanation :
In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.
where,
= specific heat of aluminium =
= specific heat of water =
= mass of aluminum = 0.500 kg = 500 g
= mass of water = 0.250 kg = 250 g
= final temperature of mixture = ?
= initial temperature of aluminum =
= initial temperature of water =
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:
Therefore, the temperature when the water and pan reach thermal equilibrium short time later is,
Answer:
Explanation:
To stop a ball with high momentum in a small-time imparts a high amount of impact on hands. This is the reason for the stinging of hands.
The momentum of the ball is due to the mass and velocity. To prevent stinging in the hand one needs to lower his hands to increase the time of contact. In this way, the momentum transfer to the hands will be lesser.
Answer:
r = 58.44 [m]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use the following equation that relates the centripetal acceleration with the tangential velocity and the radius of rotation.
a = v²/r
where:
a = centripetal acceleration = 15.4 [m/s²]
v = tangential speed = 30 [m/s]
r = radius or distance [m]
r = v²/a
r = 30²/15.4
r = 58.44 [m]
The relationship between frequency and wavelength for an electromagnetic wave is
where
f is the frequency
is the wavelength
is the speed of light.
For the light in our problem, the frequency is
, so its wavelength is (re-arranging the previous formula)
Explanation:
When a man falls on a hard cemented floor his momentum reduced to zero in a very short time and hurt the man. Whereas when a man falls on a heap of sand. As sand can compress, it takes longer time for the man to hit the ground (or hard surface)
