The amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a substance by
is given by
where
m is the mass of the substance
the specific heat capacity
the increase in temperature
In our problem, the mass of the water is m=750 g, the specific heat is
and the amount of heat supplied is
, so if we re-arrange the previous formula we find the increase in temperature of the water:
The correct answer is
<span>c) very small and very large
Let's see this with a few examples:
1) if we have a very small number, such as
</span>
<span>we see that we can write it easily by using the scientific notation:
</span>
<span>2) Similarly, if we have a very large number:
</span>
<span>we see that we can write it easily by using again the scientific notation:
</span>
<span>
</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
According to work energy theorem
change in kinetic energy of truck = work done against it
work done against it = force x displacement
= - 850 x 8 = 6800 J
change in kinetic energy of truck = - 6800 J .
energy will be reduced by 6800 J
The energy of the wave decreases gradually
