A39.3 g glass thermometer reads 22.0oc before it
isplaced in 136 ml of water. when the water and thermometer come
toequilibrium, the thermometer reads 43.6oc. what was
theoriginal temperature of the water in oc? do not
enterunit.

44.85C

Explanation:

Let the specific heat of glass thermometer be 0.84 J/g°C

Let the specific heat of water be 4.186 j/g °C

Let the water density be 1kg/L

136 mL of water = 0.136L of water = 0.136 kg of water = 136 g of water

Since the change of temperature on the glass thermometer is 43.6 - 22 = 21.6 C. We can then calculate the heat energy absorbed to it:

Assume no energy is lost to outside, by the law of energy conservation, this heat energy would come from water

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
