The left side of this equation tells how much energy Q the cylinder gives to the water while it cools. The right side of this equation tells how much energy Q the water and aluminum cup absorb from the cylinder to warm up. Because it is the same energy, they are equal. What is known in this equation? Mcyl 411.7 g, malum 46.5 g, malum+water = 175 g Can you find: mwater =? g Twater = Talum = 20°C (water and cup of room temperature) 90°C, T; = 35°C (hot cylinder and cool "cylinder+cup+water" temperatures) Tcyl kCal Calum = 0.22, Cwater 1 (specific heat of water and aluminum, measured in units kg-°C What are we looking for is Ccul - How we find it? Plug all the numbers into the equation (1), Ccul will be one unknown which you can calculate from the equation. Important, convert all the masses from grams to kilograms! After you find Ccyl, compare it to known value for the copper 0.093(our cylinder is made out of copper). |Ceyl -0.093| % : · 100% 0.093
Dr. Brown has built a 94 cm pendulum and pulled the pendulum 25° from vertical and then measured the period of 30 consecutive swings. The data is shown below. How do you interpret the uncertainties involved in this data? Period of Dr. Brown's pendulum Period of swing (s) 1.98 1.978 1.976 1.974 1.972 1.97 1.968 1.966 1.964 0 10 20 Number of swings since release 30 O Some random effect lowers the period of the pendulum by about 0.01 s in between the first and last data point. O The random uncertainty starts large (approximately 0.03 s) but decreases quickly until it is immeasureably small by the end of the data set. O Some systematic effect lowers the period of the pendulum by about 0.01 s in between the first and last data point. O The systematic uncertainty starts large (approximately 0.01 s) but decreases quickly until it immeasurably small by the end of the data set.

As we explained in earlier chapters, the air resistance to the motion of a vehicle is something important that engineers investigate. The drag force acting on a car is determined experimentally by placing the car in a wind tunnel. The air speed inside the tunnel is changed, and the drag force acting on the car is measured. For a given car, the experimental data generally is represented by a single coefficient that is called drag coefficient. It is defined by the following relationship: F, where air resistance for a car that has a listed C, = drag coefficient (unitless) measured drag force (N) drag coefficient of 0.4 and width of 190 cm and height of 145 cm. Vary the air speed in the range of 15 m/s

Q1. The following data is obtained during geothermal drilling operation. Rock density = 1550 kg/m ³, heat capacity of the rock = 0.00163 J/kg K, temperature difference = 80 K. How much will be the thermal heat content of the rock at the geothermal site? Discuss about geothermal gradients their importance in energy exploration. Do you think utilization of geothermal energy worldwide is increasing yearly? Justify your answer. Do you think the geothermal energy available in this site can be used for a metal melting industry?
Fluid runs through a drainage pipe with a 10-cm radius and a length of 30m (3000cm). The velocity of the fluid gradually decreases from the center of the pipe toward the edges as a result of friction with the walls of the pipe.

3. Examine your data in Data Table 2 and in Data Table 3. For the data with the smallest percentage difference, compare the total energy at each point. Calculate the sum U₁+Ug at x₁ as ½kx-mgx₁. Calculate that sum at x₂ as ½kx²-mgx₂. Do you expect them to agree reasonably well? Explain why they should or should not be the same. 4. Consider the same data as used in Question 3. Calculate the value of x halfway between x₁ and x₂. Calculate U₁+Ug=½kx² − mgx_for_that point. Do you expect them to agree with the energy calculated in Question 3? If they agree reasonably well, explain why they do. If they do not agree, explain why they do not agree.
