<span>The specific heat (or the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by 1 degree Celsius) of copper is about 0.386 J/g/degree Celsius. This means that if we supply 0.386 J of energy to 1 gram of copper, its temperature will increase by 1 degree Celsius.</span>
Answer:
I think the answer is C.
Explanation:
A primary source is a first hand account of an event while a secondary source is a retelling or second hand account meaning as many details will be prevalent.
Power delivered = (energy delivered) / (time to deliver the energy)
Power delivered = (4,000 J) / (0.5 sec)
Power delivered = 8,000 watts
I'm a little surprised to learn that Electro draws his power from the mains. This is VERY good news for Spiderman ! It means that Spiderman can always avoid tangling with Electro ... all he has to do is stay farther away from Electro than the length of Electro's extension cord.
But OK. Let's assume that Electro draws it all from the mains. Then inevitably, there must be some loss in Electro's conversion process, between the outlet and his fingertips (or wherever he shoots his bolts from).
The efficiency of Electro's internal process is
<em>(power he shoots out) / (power he draws from the mains) </em>.
So, if he delivers energy toward his target at the rate of 8,000 watts, he must draw power from the mains at the rate of
<em>(8,000 watts) / (his internal efficiency) . </em>
