A wedge is a machine and it is used for separating bodies.

<h3 /><h3>The Wedge as a Machine</h3>

The wedge is a combination of two inclined planes. When the wedge is driven into a body by an effort force, a much larger force will be exerted to each side by the wedge surfaces.

What are the importance of wedge?

A wedge is used to separate bodies which are held together by large forces example of this scenario is splitting of timber. A wedge is a machine and the example of wedge - type of machine are;

  • Axes
  • Chisel
  • Knives
  • Cutting tools

Note that a thin wedge has a higher mechanical advantage than a short thick one.

Therefore, a wedge is a machine and it is used for separating bodies.

The specific heat capacity of ethanol is 2440J/kg °C. How many joules of energy will be required to heat 150g ethanol to 35°C if
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Required energy = 4758 J

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity of a material is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram (kg) of that material through one degree Celsius (°C).    

Given data :

Specific heat capacity = c = 2440 J/kg.°C

Mass = m = 150 g = 0.15 kg

Initial temperature = 22°C

Final temperature = 35°C

Change in Temperature = ΔT = 13°C

Energy = E = ?

Using the following formula and substituting the values, we get:

E = m × c × ΔT

E = 0.15 × 2440 × 13

E = 4758 J
