Mariana [72]

Answer:

451.13 J/kg.°C

Explanation:

Applying,

Q = cm(t₂-t₁)............... Equation 1

Where Q = Heat, c = specific heat capacity of iron, m = mass of iron, t₂= Final temperature, t₁ = initial temperature.

Make c the subject of the equation

c = Q/m(t₂-t₁).............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: Q = 1500 J, m = 133 g = 0.113 kg, t₁ = 20 °C, t₂ = 45 °C

Substitute these values into equation 2

c = 1500/[0.133(45-20)]

c = 1500/(0.133×25)

c = 1500/3.325

c = 451.13 J/kg.°C

With 51 gallons of fuel in its tank, the airplane has a weight of 2390.7 pounds. What is the weight of the plane with 81 gallons
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer: 2561.7 pounds

Explanation:

If we assume the total weight of an airplane (in pounds units) as a <u>linear function</u> of the amount of fuel in its tank (in gallons) and we make a Weight vs amount of fuel graph, which resulting slope is 5.7, we can use the slope equation of the line:

m=\frac{Y-Y_{1}}{X-X_{1}}  (1)

Where:

m=5.7 is the slope of the line

Y_{1}=2390.7pounds is the airplane weight with  51 gallons of fuel in its tank (assuming we chose the Y axis for the airplane weight in the graph)

X_{1}=51gallons is the fuel in airplane's tank for a total weigth of 2390.7 pounds (assuming we chose the X axis for the a,ount of fuel in the tank in the graph)

This means we already have one point of the graph, which coordinate is:

(X_{1},Y_{1})=(51,2390.7)

Rewritting (1):

Y=m(X-X_{1})+Y_{1}  (2)

As Y is a function of X:

Y=f_{(X)}=m(X-X_{1})+Y_{1}  (3)

Substituting the known values:

f_{(X)}=5.7(X-51)+2390.7  (4)

f_{(X)}=5.7X-290.7+2390.7  (5)

f_{(X)}=5.7X+2100  (6)

Now, evaluating this function when X=81 (talking about the 81 gallons of fuel in the tank):

f_{(81)}=5.7(81)+2100  (7)

f_{(81)}=2561.7  (8)   This means the weight of the plane when it has 81 gallons of fuel in its tank is 2561.7 pounds.

What steps are involved in creating hydroelectric power?
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Water falls from a reservoir through a channel to a turbine. The water turns the turbines, which allows the generator to make electricity.

It is falling instead of flowing, because elavation is an important part of the hydroeletric power plant, since gravity is a thing, and there was elevation, than it would be falling and not flowing.

If a longitudinal wave passes a specific point seven times per second, and the distance between wave rarefaction points is 2 met
zavuch27 [327]

Answer: 14 m/s

Explanation:

The speed S of a sound wave is given by the following equation:

S=\lambda f

Where:

\lambda=2 m is the wavelength of the sound wave

f=7 times/s=7 Hz

S=(2 m)(7 Hz)

Hence:

S=14 m/s
