T = 59.5°C Activity: A liquid of unknown specific heat at a temperature of 20°C was mixed with water at 80°C in a well-insulated container. The final temperature was measured to be 50°C, and the combined mass of the two liquids was measured to be 240g. In a second experiment with both liquids at the same initial temperatures, 20 g less of the liquid of unknown specific heat was poured into the same amount of water as before. This time the equilibrium temperature was found to be 52°C. Determine the specific heat of the liquid. The specific heat of water is 4187 J/Kg°C or 1 kcal/kg°C.

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.

the moving of the box is a result of centripetal force. think of that  as a car or a truck in this case creates a turn, the force of friction performing upon the turned wheels of the car runs centripetal force obligatory for circular motion for the things inside it.
