A 440-g cylinder of brass is heated to 97.0 degree Celsius and placed in a 2 points
calorimeter containing 350 g of water at 23.0 degree Celsius. The water is
stirred, and its highest temperature is recorded as 31.0 degree Celsius.
From the thermal energy gained by the water, determine the specific heat
of brass. The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g x C. (The heat transferred
from the brass equals the heat transferred to the water) *

Chapter 23, problem 075 the figure shows a geiger counter, a device used to detect ionizing radiation (radiation that causes ionization of atoms). the counter consists of a thin, positively charged central wire surrounded by a concentric, circular, conducting cylindrical shell with an equal negative charge. thus, a strong radial electric field is set up inside the shell. the shell contains a low-pressure inert gas. a particle of radiation entering the device through the shell wall ionizes a few of the gas atoms. the resulting free electrons (e) are drawn to the positive wire. however, the electric field is so intense that, between collisions with gas atoms, the free electrons gain energy sufficient to ionize these atoms also. more free electrons are thereby created, and the process is repeated until the electrons reach the wire. the resulting "avalanche" of electrons is collected by the wire, generating a signal that is used to record the passage of the original particle of radiation. suppose the radius of the central wire is 24 âµm, the inner radius of the shell 2.3 cm, and the length of the shell 14 cm. if the electric field at the shell's inner wall is 2.8 ă— 104 n/c, what is the total positive charge on the central wire?

Simon is writing a story about an astronaut whose spacecraft has been boarded by space pirates. the astronaut has her lucky penny in her hand behind her back as the space pirates break into the control room. she has just locked the controls so that the ship is accelerating in the direction of the control room’s ceiling. simon wants the astronaut to use the penny to hit a button on the control panel to turn off the lights and escape. the button is located a short distance behind and below the astronaut’s hands. how should simon use the theory of relativity to describe what the astronaut must do in order to hit the button?

Which of the following statements comparing electron microscopy and light microscopy is false? which of the following statements comparing electron microscopy and light microscopy is false? both the electron microscope and the light microscope use the same wavelengths for illumination. images produced by light microscopes can be in color, whereas electron microscope images are black and white unless they are artificially colored. the electron microscope has greater resolution than the light microscope. electron microscopes can allow examination of viruses and internal cell structures, whereas light microscopes are limited to objects that are 0.5 micrometers and larger. request answer
