Given:
ΔT = 38 - 26 = 12°C, temperature change
Q = 11.3 J, heat input
c = 0.128 J/(g-°C), specific heat of lead

Let m =  the mass of the lead.
Then
Q = m*c*ΔT
(m g)*(0.128 J/(g-°C))*(12 °C) = 11.3 J
1.536m = 11.3
m = 7.357 g

Answer:  7.36 g  (2 sig. figs)

The orbital period of a satellite is 2 × 106 s and its total radius is 2.5 × 1012 m. The tangential speed of the satellite, writ
LenaWriter [7]

The orbital period of the satellite[T] is given as 2*10^{6} S.

The radius of the satellite is given [R] 2.5*10^{12} m.

we are asked here to calculate the tangential speed of the satellite.

Before going to get the solution first we have understand the tangential speed.

The tangential speed of a satellite is given as the speed required to keep the satellite along the orbit. If satellite speed is less than tangential speed,there is the chance of it falling down towards earth. If it is more,then it will deviate from it orbit and can't stick to the orbit further.In a simple way  the tangential speed is the linear speed of an object in a circular path.

Now we have to calculate the tangential speed [V].

Mathematically the tangential speed [V]   written as -

                                V=\frac{2\pi R}{T}

where T is the time period of the satellite and R is the radius of the satellite.

                        V=\frac{2*3.14*10^{12} }{2*10^{6} }

                               = 7.85*10^{6} m/s

There is also another way through which we can get  the solution as explained below-

We know that the tangential speed of a satellite V=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R^{2} } }

where G is the gravitational constant and M is the mas of central object.

But we know that g=\frac{GM}{R^{2} }

                               ⇒GM=gR^{2}  where g is the acceleration due to gravity of that central object.


Hence    V=\sqrt{\frac{gR^{2} }{R} }

               ⇒   V=\sqrt{gR}

By knowing the value of g due to that central object we can also calculate its tangential speed.

It takes me 12s to lift a box upward with 20 N of force to a height of 45m. What was my power output ?
Finger [1]

Answer:

75Watts

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time  = 12s

Force applied  = 20N

Height  = 45m

Unknown:

Power output  = ?

Solution:

Power is defined as the rate at which work is done.

 It is mathematically expressed as;

        Power  = \frac{work done}{time}

Work done  = force x distance  = 20 x 45  = 900J

        Power  = \frac{900}{12}   = 75Watts
