Answer:

Explanation:

Comment

You could calculate it out by assuming the same starting temperature for each substance. (You have to assume that the substances do start at the same temperature anyway).

That's like shooting 12 with 2 dice. It can be done, but aiming for a more common number is a better idea.

Same with this question.

You should just develop a rule.  The rule will look like this

The greater the heat capacity the (higher or lower) the change in temperature.

The greater the heat capacity the lower the change in temperature

That's not your question. You want to know which substance will have the greatest temperature change given their heat capacities.

Answer

lead. It has the smallest heat capacity and therefore it's temperature change will be the greatest.

Find the relationship

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow Q=mc\Delta T

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 100=10c\Delta T

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 10=c\Delta T

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{10}{c}=\Delta T

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \Delta T\propto \dfrac{1}{c}

So lower the c higher ∆T

Lead has the largest change in T as it has least capacity

a lorry travels 3600m on a test track accelerating constantly at 3m/s squared from standstill. what is the final velocity (3 sig
suter [353]

The final velocity of the truck is found as 146.969 m/s.

Explanation:

As it is stated that the lorry was in standstill position before travelling a distance or covering a distance of 3600 m, the initial velocity is considered as zero. Then, it is stated that the lorry travels with constant acceleration. So we can use the equations of motion to determine the final velocity of the lorry when it reaches 3600 m distance.

Thus, a initial velocity (u) = 0, acceleration a = 3 m/s² and the displacement s is 3600 m. The third equation of motion should be used to determine the final velocity as below.

2as =v^{2} - u^{2} \\\\v^{2} = 2as + u^{2}

Then, the final velocity will be

v^{2} = 2 * 3 * 3600 + 0 = 21600\\ \\v=\sqrt{21600}=146.969 m/s

Thus,  the final velocity of the truck is found as 146.969 m/s.

After an ice storm, ice falls from one of the top floors of a 65-story building. The ice falls freely under the influence of gra
adell [148]

Answer:

The correct answer is a) The kinetic energy of the ice increases by equal amounts for equal distances.

Explanation:

The law of conservation states that the energy cannot be created nor be destroyed but can be converted from one form to another.Before the ice even starts falling we already know that it possesses energy in the form of potential energy given by P=mgh where m is the mass of the ice , g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height of the ice above the ground whatever that may be, since a number is not given here.As the ice falls the energy is converted from potential energy to kinetic energy. We notice one thing about the equation for the potential energy P , which is that it is not only directly proportional to h but also is linear in h as well(which is the main reason why a) is correct) which means that if the ice drops by 1 meter the potential energy it will have lost would be ΔPE=mgΔh=-mg, where Δh is the change in its height which is 1 meter here.And according to the principle of conservation of energy this energy must be converted to kinetic energy so the ΔKE=-ΔPE=mg, and this process repeats and for each meter it falls, it picks up the same amount of kinetic energy equaling mg(which is the same as the loss in PE per each meter of fall). So a 2 meter decrease in height will result in an increase in KE of 2mg, a 3 meter decrease in height will result in an increase in KE of 3mg. gain in kinetic energy only depends on the drop in height, which is true irrespective of where the ice might happen to be in its journey close to the top or the bottom. So the drop in height of lets say x at any point in the journey will result in the same increase in KE = ΔKE = mgx. Which proves part a) to be correct.

You use 8x binoculars were used on a warbler (14cm long) in a tree 18cm away. What angle (in degrees) does the image of the warb
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

The angle it subtend on the retina is  \theta_z = 0.44586^o    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The length of the warbler is  L = 14cm = \frac{14}{100} = 0.14m

      The distance from the binoculars is    d = 18cm = \frac{18}{100} = 0.18m

        The magnification of the binoculars is  M =8

Without the 8 X binoculars the  angle made with the angular size of the object  is mathematically represented as

          \theta = \frac{L}{d}

        \theta  = \frac{0.14}{0.18}

           = 0.007778 rad

Now magnification can be represented mathematically as

         M = \frac{\theta _z}{\theta}

Where \theta_z is the angle the image of the warbler subtend on your retina when the   binoculars i.e the  binoculars zoom.

So

      \theta_z = M * \theta

=>    \theta_z =8 * 0.007778

            = 0.0622222224

Generally the conversion to degrees can be mathematically evaluated as

             \theta_z = 0.062222224 * (\frac{360 }{2 \pi rad} )

              \theta_z = 0.44586^o
