You are at a restaurant eating lunch with a friend. After the meal, your friend realizes they left their wallet at home. Your friend gives you a piece of silver with a mass of 0.15 kg as payment for their portion of the meal, which is certainly fair compensation if the metal is actually pure silver. When you get home, you begin to question whether or not you should remain friends. To test the piece of metal, you boil it in water until it reaches a temperature of 100°C. You also prepare a lead container of mass 1.5 kg and pour 0.65 kg of water into it, both at the room temperature of 20.5°C. The lead container and its contents are well isolated from their surroundings. You remove the piece of metal from the boiling water and place it in the water in the lead container. The entire “silver”-leadwater system reaches a final temperature of 21°C.
a)Find the specific heat, in units of J/(kg⋅°C), of the metal your friend gave you. Since the specific heat of silver is 235 J/(kg⋅°C) and the…
In order to increase the fuel efficiency and reduce structural failure of airplanes, new composite materials have been designed to replace airplane fuselages made of aluminum. Composite materials are low in density and tolerant to damage. One drawback of this new material is that it is not conductive. This increases the chance that a lightning strike will damage the plane. Engineers have redesigned the composites by adding a material to the original composition that is conductive.
Identify one anticipated effect of this new material.
Explain why the addition of the new material to the composite fuselage design will result in a tradeoff
