1 AnswerPhysics1 decade agoquestion about specific heats of metals (physics)?
In solar heating applications, heat energy is stored insome medium until it is needed (e.g., to heat a home at night). Should the medium have a high or a low specific heat? Suggest a substance that would be appropriate for use a heat-storage medium, and explain its advantages.
1 AnswerPhysics1 decade agoPhysic Question about Fluid Mechanics?
A village maintains a large tank with an open top, containing water for emergencies. The water can drain from the tank through a hose of diameter 7.00 cm. The hose ends with a nozzle of diameter 2.40 cm. A rubber stopper is inserted into the nozzle. The water level in the tank is kept 7.50 m above the nozzle.
(a) Calculate the friction force exerted by the nozzle on the stopper.
(b) The stopper is removed. What mass of water flows from the nozzle in 2.00 h?
(c) Calculate the gauge pressure of the flowing water in the hose just behind the nozzle.

(c) Determine the kinetic and potential energies at aphelion
(d) Is the total energy constant? (Yes or No)
1 AnswerPhysics1 decade agoquestion about Simple Harmonic Motion?
A particle rotates counterclockwise in a circle of radius 6.00 m with a constant angular speed of 8.00 rad/s. At t = 0, the particle has an x coordinate of 1.00 m and is moving to the right.
The x coordinate as a function of time x = 6cos(8.00t-1.403)
The x components of the particle's velocity as a function of time is v= - 48sin(8.00t-1.403)
The x component of the particle's acceleration as a function of time is a= - 384cos(8.00t-1.403)
(a) What is the speed of the rotating particle?
(b) At t = 0 what is the direction of the velocity vector?
(c) What is the x component of this velocity at t = 0?
