In a physics lab students are conducting an experiment to learn about the heat capacity of different materials. The first group is instructed to add 1.5-g copper pellets at a temperature of 92°C to 235 g of water at 16°C. A second group is given the same number of 1.5-g pellets as the first group, but these are now aluminum pellets. Assume that no heat is lost to or gained from the surroundings for either group.

(a) If the final equilibrium temperature of the copper pellets and water is 23°C, how many whole pellets did the first group use in the experiment? The specific heat of copper is 0.0924 kcal/(kg · °C).

(b) What is the equilibrium temperature of the aluminum and water mixture for the second group?

A door 1.00 m wide and 2.30 m high weighs 330 N and is supported by two hinges, one 0.70 m from the top and the other 0.70 m from the bottom. Each hinge supports half the total weight of the door.

Part A:

Assuming that the door’s center of gravity is at its center, find the horizontal component of force exerted on the door by hinge on the top.

Ftop h=..... N

Part B:

Find the horizontal component of force exerted on the door by hinge on the bottom.

Fbottom h = ......N

(I got 127 N and -127 N but it still incorrect)

In 1923, the United States Army (there was no U.S. Air Force at that time) set a record for in-flight refueling of airplanes. Using two refueling planes, an Airco DH-4B biplane was able to remain in flight for 37 hours. During the flight, the refueling planes were able to air-transfer a total of 687 gallons of fuel to the plane in 9 refueling transfers. Assume that the refueling nozzle had a diameter of 1.25 inches and each refueling took 2.43 minutes to perform. Calculate the velocity of the fuel through the nozzle. Assume that the fuel filled the entire cross-sectional area of the nozzle.

Describe three different ways of creating an induced voltage (or current) from changing magnetic flux. I am looking for just a few lines of text, a sketch of each scenario, and an indication of which term in the magnetic flux equation is changing to produce the voltage (or current). Which method is the most practical for generating voltage at a power plant?

Four identical particles of mass 0.929 kg each are placed at the vertices of a 3.40 m x 3.40 m square and held there by four massless rods, which form the sides of the square. What is the rotational inertia of this rigid body about an axis that (a) passes through the midpoints of opposite sides and lies in the plane of the square, (b) passes through the midpoint of one of the sides and is perpendicular to the plane of the square, and (c) lies in the plane of the square and passes through two diagonally opposite particles?

The archerfish uses a remarkable method for catching insects sitting on branches or leaves above the waterline. The fish rises to the surface and then shoots out a stream of water precisely aimed to knock the insect off its perch into the water, where the archerfish gobbles it up. Scientists have measured the speed of the water stream exiting the fish's mouth to be 3.7 m/s. An archerfish spots an insect sitting 21 cm above the waterline and a horizontal distance of 31 cm away. The fish aims its stream at an angle of 41 ∘ from the waterline. Determine the height above the waterline that the stream reaches at the horizontal position of the insect. DO NOT USE THE KINEMATIC EQUATIONS.
