    A thermal physics question about steam and coffee, please could you help?

    Homework Statement A coffee machine in a café passes steam at 100°C into 0.18kg of cold coffee (s.h.c. the same as that of water(4200j/kg/K)) to warm it. If the initial temperature of the coffee is 14°C, what mass of steam must be supplied to raise the temperature of the coffee to 85°C Homework...

    I've been studying waves and diffraction has come up, I'd just like to

    I've been studying waves and diffraction has come up, I'd just like to know, why is it that diffraction is most significant when the size of a gap a wave passes through is similar to the wave length?

    What way could I estimate, easiest and quickest, the area underneath a curve?

    I have a physics exam soon and i would just like to know, which method would be best for me to use to estimate the area under a curve to estimate work done when the force-extension graph is not linear. I know you could draw bars to estimate the area of the curve and you could draw a line so...

    Calculating Stress in Joules: My Experience

    I have tried it and the units end up being Nm^-2 (the unit of stress) however the unit for joules is Nm.

    Please can you help me to resolve this vector force?

    30 degrees, oh I see now so would the force N 30(degrees) E be 20cos(30)?

    Please can you help me to resolve this vector force?

    north = 20Cos(60) = 10 east = 20Sin(60) = 17.3 What could (c) be, does N 30(degrees) E become the hypotenuse?

    Please can you help me to resolve this vector force?

    A force P is 20N in a direction N 60(degrees) E. What is the resolved part of the force (a) north (b) east (c) N 30(degrees) E I have an idea of what to do for a and b but can you please show me your working aswell, thanks
