A student slides a book across a desk, with a velocity of +8 m/s. When her friend catches the book, it has a velocity of +7.4 m/

s. If the acceleration was a constant -5.6 m/s2, how wide is the desk?

kinematic equation

v^2=u^2+2*a*s

7.4^2=8^2-2*5.6^2*width

(7.4^2-64)/(2*5.6^2)=-width

If 1495 j of heat is needed to raise the temperature of a 351 g sample of a metal from 55.0°c to 66.0°c, what is the specific he

forsale [732]

The amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a substance by $\Delta T$ is given by
$Q= mC_s \Delta T$
where m is the mass of the substance, Cs is its specific heat capacity and $\Delta T$ is the increase of temperature.

If we re-arrange the formula, we get
$C_s = \frac{Q}{m \Delta T}$
And if we plug the data of the problem into the equation, we can find the specific heat capacity of the substance:
$C_s = \frac{1495 J}{(351 g)(66.0^{\circ}C-55.0^{\circ}C)}=0.39 J/g^{\circ}C$

What is the difference between parallel and series

DiKsa [7]

In a series circuit, the sum of the voltages consumed by each individual resistance is equal to the source voltage. ... In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each of the components is the same, and the total current is the sum of the currents flowing through each component.
