Answer: The answer is S = 0.1528 cal/g °C

Explanation:

By the law of conservation of energy, energy is neither created nor destroyed.

So, energy lost by metal pieces is equal to the energy gained by water in the calorimeter.

Specific heat of water is 1 cal/g °C

⇒ heat energy  Q = mSΔT, where m = mass of a substance

                                                        S = specific heat

                                                        ΔT = change in temperature

Now, the heat lost by metal piece, Q = 72×S×(96-31)

                                                      = 4680×S cal

Heat gained by water, Q = 130×1×(31-25.5)

                                        = 715 cal

⇒ 4680×S = 715.

⇒ S = 0.1528 cal/g °C.

Can rotation and revolution occur at the same time? Explain.
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

Revolution is the movement of an object around another object. So, Earth revolves around the Sun, and the Moon revolves around Earth. At the same time, Earth and the Moon are also rotating. Earth's rate of revolution is about 365 days (one year), and its rate of rotation is about 24 hours (one day).
