How much heat is released when 432 g of water cools down from 71'c to 18'c?

1 answer:

7 0

The heat released by the water when it cools down by a temperature difference $\Delta T$ is
$Q=mC_s \Delta T$
where
m=432 g is the mass of the water
$C_s = 4.18 J/g^{\circ}C$ is the specific heat capacity of water
$\Delta T =71^{\circ}C-18^{\circ}C=53^{\circ}$ is the decrease of temperature of the water

Plugging the numbers into the equation, we find
$Q=(432 g)(4.18 J/g^{\circ}C)(53^{\circ}C)=9.57 \cdot 10^4 J$
and this is the amount of heat released by the water.

Answer and Explanation:

If the ant was to crawl 50cm to the right, then come back 30 cm, then the total distance walked would be 80cm.

- Combine 50cm and 30cm to get 80 cm.

For displacement, the answer is 20 cm.

- When calculating displacement, you use the initial (starting) distance. and subtract that from the final distance, giving you the displacement, or the amount traveled from the starting point to the final point if you were to make a straight line from the starting point to end point. (0 to 50, then back 30 the same direction, so subtract 30 from 50 to get 20)
