Compute its increase in temperature

Reference no: EM13660877

A 2.7-kg copper block is given an initial speed of 2.5 m/s on a rough horizontal surface. Because of friction, the block finally comes to rest.

a) If the block absorbs 85% of its initial kinetic energy as internal energy, compute its increase in temperature.

Martian leaves mars in a spaceship that is heading to venus : A Martian leaves Mars in a spaceship that is heading to Venus. On the way, the spaceship passes earth with a speed v =0.80c relative to it. Suppose that the three planets do not move relative to each other during the trip. The distance between Mars a..

Two protons in an atomic nucleus are normally separated : Two protons in an atomic nucleus are normally separated by a distance of 2.0 X 10-15 m. The electric repulsion force among the protons is huge, but the attractive nuclear force is even stronger and keeps the nucleus from bursting apart. What is the m..

Pendulum is constructed from a thin and rigid : A pendulum is constructed from a thin, rigid, and uniform rod by a small sphere attached to the end opposite the pivot. This arrangement is a good approximation to a simple pendulum (period =3.72 s), because the mass of the sphere (lead) is much grea..

Metal sphere oscillates at the end of a vertical spring : A 0.66-kg metal sphere oscillates at the end of a vertical spring. As the spring stretches from 0.14 to 0.25 m (relative to its unstrained length) the speed of the sphere decreases from 6.15 to 4.55 m/s. What is the spring constant of the spring?

Planet jupiter has an angular diameter : To the unaided eye, the planet Jupiter has an angular diameter of 50 arc seconds. What will its angular size be when viewed during a 0.75 m focal length refracting telescope with an eyepiece whose focal length is 30 mm?

What is the fundamental minimum uncertainty : What is the fundamental minimum uncertainty in a measurement of the position of an electron by speed .290c and wavelength 8.01×10-12 m if its momentum is simultaneously measured to a precision of plus or minus one percent (two percent total)?

What speed does a clock move by respect to an observer : At what speed does a clock move by respect to an observer that measures it to run at one-sixth the rate of an identical clock at rest by respect to the observer?
