If it takes 125 joules to heat a piece of gold weighing 35 g from 18.0 °C to 43.0 °C, what is the specific heat of the gold?

1 answer:

3 0

The specific heat of the gold is 1.67 (=125/(3*(43-18)) joule/ gram oC based on its heat energy, change in temperature and mass. This problem can be solved using the heat energy formula which stated as Q=c*m*(deltaT). In this formula, Q is the heat energy, c is the specific heat, m is the object's mass, and deltaT is the change in the temperature of the reaction.

Find the equation of the lines perpendicular and parallel to 2x-3y=8 line through the point (-2,-4)

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

y= -1.5x-7 is the equation of the perpendicular line

Here's why:

when we convert 2x-3y=8 to standard form, we get y= 2/3x-8/3. This means the perpendicular line will have a slope of the negative reciprocal of the original one, so the perpendicular slope is -1.5. When we substitute the points (-2,-4) into the equation y=-1.5x+b, we get a b value of -7. So the perpendicular line equation is y= -1.5x-7. You can't the parallel line equation with the points (-2,-4) as it is part of the line 2x-3y=8.

A environmental initiative has the goal of saving at least 25 2525 million hectares of rainforest through both planting trees an

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The possible way for the initiative to accomplish its goal without exceeding its budget is use 12.5 hectares for planting trees and 12.5 hectares by purchasing land.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the variable X represent the amount of land used for planting trees and Y represent the amount of land purchased.

The goal of the environmental initiative is to save at least 25 million hectares of rain forest.

That is:

X + Y = 25....(i)

Now it is provided that:

The cost of planting trees is $ 400 per hectare.
The cost of purchasing land is $ 260 per hectare.
The initiative has a budget of $8,250 million.

Using the above data it can be said that:

400X + 260Y = 8250....(ii)

Solve equations (i) and (ii) simultaneously.

$\ \ \ \ x+y=25]\times 260\\400x+260y=8250\\\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\\\\\Rightarrow\\\\260x+260y=6500\\400x+260y=8250\\(-)\_\_\_\_\_\ (-)\_\_\_\_(-)\_\_\_\\\\\Rightarrow\\\\-140x=-1750\\\\x=\frac{1750}{140}\\\\x=12.5$

Then the value of y is:

$x+y=25\\y=25-x\\y=25-12.5\\y=12.5$

Thus, the possible way for the initiative to accomplish its goal without exceeding its budget is use 12.5 hectares for planting trees and 12.5 hectares for purchasing land.
