The Coffee Cup

Posts Tagged ‘homework’

Could someone please show me step by step how to do the following equation, I can’t seem to figure it out.
A piece of titanium metal with a mass of 20. 8 g is heated in boiling water at 99. 5 degrees celecuis and then dropped into a coffee cup calorimeter containing 75. 0 g of water at 21. 7 degrees celcuis. When thermal equilbruim is reached the final temp is 24. 3 degrees celcuis. Calculate the specific heat capacicty of Titanium?

I have to make a skit, five people. With the provided information. . .
At the time of the Bolshevik Communist seizure of power in October 1917 Russia had, for more than three years, been involved in the First World War. The turmoils associated with this major war inevitably produced much economic dislocation and many shortages of essential items including food, fuel and clothing. Agricultural and Industrial production were down from the levels of 1913. Perhaps a third of Russia’s working horses had been diverted towards direct services associated with the war. The railways were suffering from disrepair and parts shortages. Wartime inflation had seriously eroded the purchasing power of the Russian rouble.

The “Red” Bolshevik seizure of power was moreover fiercely contested by many “White” Russian interests (monarchists and conservatives), by peasant “social revolutionaries” and by several nationalisms over several years. Thus the background to the establishment of a would-be Communist economic system in Russia continued to be stressed by disputations over the political direction of society.

Had things been otherwise the Bolshevik administration may not have intervened overmuch in the economy beyond attempting to control key areas such as banking (in order to inhibit a reversion towards outright capitalism), critical war industries, and the grain trade. Even non Communist European states had established fairly far-reaching state controls on their economies in order to further their own war efforts.

As social and political conditions developed in Russia however there was an increasing tendency towards nationalisation of many industries including Sugar, Oil, the control of Foreign Trade, spices, coffee, clothing materials and matches. This tendency, as institutionalised in a decree of General Nationalisation of June 1918, had two main roots:-

(a) The displacement of those independent workers committees that had gone beyond the Bolsheviks decree of Workers Control of November 1917 to closely supervise the operation of privately owned industry.

(b) The establishment of state control in the hope that this would facilitate the Bolshevisation of Russia at a time of civil war.

The term – War Communism – was coined to refer to what ultimately became a most pervasive system of wartime state control over productive activity and economic resources that soon grew up moreso from the seeming necessities of the times than traditional communist theory.

I have no idea how to do it! please help!!
Setting: Leions office or Russia.

Which of the following is a reason to believe that the MPI overestimates the increase in cost of going to the movies (cost of living)?

A. In the years since 1998, while candy prices increased popcorn prices dropped. As a result, moviegoers bought more and more popcorn while buying fewer boxes of candy.

B. The movie theater where this data was collected was remodeled at the end of 2001 and a new surround sound system was added. New adjustable seats with cup holders were also installed.

C. All of these options lead to the MPI overestimating the increase in cost of going to the movies.

D. The concession stand started selling cappuccino in 2000. Cappuccino first sold for $3, but currently sells for $1 a cup and is a big hit with moviegoers.
