A copper cylinder has a mass of 76.8 g and a specific heat of 0.092 cal/g.C. It is heated to 86.5 degrees C from 19.5 degrees C.

What is the specific heat of copper. (How much energy do you need to heat it?)

Given:

The mass of the copper cylinder is: m = 76.8 g = 0.0768 kg

The change in the temperature is: T = 86.5 deg C - 19.5 deg C = 67 deg C

The specific heat is: c = 0.092 cal/g.C

To find:

Heat energy needed to heat the copper cylinder.

Explanation:

The specific heat is defined as the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree celcius.

The expression relating heat Q, mass m, specific heat c and temperature difference T is:

Q=mcT

Substitute the values in the above equation, we get:

\begin{gathered} Q=76.8\text{ g}\times0.092\text{ Cal/g.C}\times67\text{ deg C} \\  \\ Q=473.40\text{ Cal} \end{gathered}

Final answer:

473.40 calories of heat is required to heat the copper cylinder.

How did the iron filing patterns show attractive forces between magnetic poles?
nasty-shy [4]

When the magnet is placed on the glass, it is attracted to the iron filings. The pattern of the iron filings shows that the lines of force that make up the magnetic field of the magnet. Also, The lines of force of north and south poles attract each other whereas those of two north poles fend off each other.

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Beta minus decay

Explanation:

Beta decay is due to a weak nuclear interaction, it takes place in the atomic nucleus and occurs when a neutron is converted to a proton, or a proton into a neutron. When a neutron is converted to a proton an electron and an electronic antineutrino are emitted from the nucleus, this is called beta minus decay.

What is the flow of energy from the falling water to the steam?
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The flow of energy from falling water to the steam is;

a) Mechanical → Mechanical → Electrical → Thermal → Thermal

Explanation:

1) Mechanical → Mechanical

The water in the pipe before it falls possesses potential energy which it converts into kinetic energy as it falls from height

2) Mechanical → Mechanical

The water falling from the pipe stream unto the turbine wheel transfers its kinetic (mechanical) energy due to its motion on to the turbine wheel to give the wheel rotational motion

3) Mechanical → Electrical

The kinetic (mechanical) energy from the rotating turbine wheel is converted into electrical energy in the electrical generator which transported through the electrical circuit

4) Electrical → Thermal

The electrical energy from the electric current is then converted into thermal energy as the current passes through the resistors in the heating filament

5) Thermal → Thermal

The heated filament transfers thermal energy to the the water in the beaker by conduction which raises the temperature of the water such that as the water acquires more thermal energy it turns into steam

Therefore, we have the flow of energy from the falling water to steam as follows;

1) Mechanical 2) Mechanical 3) Electrical 4) Thermal 5) Thermal
