Which theory allows physical scientists to quantify or measure things like energy

1 answer:

6 0

Answer is: quantum theory (mechanics).
Quantum theory is theory in physics which describes nature of energy levels of atoms and subatomic particles. Quantum theory is formulated in different particularly developed mathematical formalisms.
According to this theory energy of a system may be restricted to discrete values (quantization).

A 1.28-kg sample of water at 10.0 °C is in a calorimeter. You drop a piece of steel with a mass of 0.385 kg at 215 °C into it. A

Kryger [21]

Answer:

$T_{2}=16,97^{\circ}C$

Explanation:

The specific heats of water and steel are

$Cp_{w}=4.186 \frac{KJ}{Kg^{\circ}C}$

$Cp_{s}=0.49 \frac{KJ}{Kg^{\circ}C}$

Assuming that the water and steel are into an adiabatic calorimeter (there's no heat transferred to the enviroment), the temperature of both is identical when the system gets to the equilibrium $T_{2}_{w}= T_{2}_{s}$

An energy balance can be written as

$m_{w}\times Cp_{w}\times (T_{2}- T_{1})_{w}= -m_{s}\times Cp_{s}\times (T_{2}- T_{1})_{s}$

Replacing

$1.28Kg\times 4.186\frac{KJ}{Kg^{\circ}C}\times (T_{2}-10^{\circ}C)= -0.385Kg\times 0.49 \frac{KJ}{Kg^{\circ}C} \times (T_{2}-215^{\circ}C)$

Then, the temperature $T_{2}=16,97^{\circ}C$

What colud the crew of a hot air balloon do to raise the ballon above some trees

omeli [17]

Explanation:

Hot air balloons work because hot air rises. By heating the air inside the balloon with the burner, it becomes lighter than the cooler air on the outside. This causes the balloon to float upwards, as if it were in water.
