Answer:

Explanation:

Calorie is a common term used to describe the amount of energy that can be derived from food products.

We quantify foods based on the calories of energy they possess. A high calorific food will yield more energy to the body and is often desired for intense physical activities.

Calorie is defined as the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of 1g of a substance by 1°C.

Food calories slightly differs in definition and they imply the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1kg of water by 1°C.

Paul [167]

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of water = 25 kg

Temperature = 23°C

Weight of mass = 32 kg

Distance = 5 m

(a). We need to calculate the amount of work done on the water

Using formula of work done

$W=mgh$

$W=32\times9.8\times5$

$W=1568\ J$

The amount of work done on the water is 1568 J.

(b). We need to calculate the internal-energy change of the water

Using formula of internal energy

The change in internal energy of the water equal to the amount of the work done on the water.

$\Delta U=W$

$\Delta U=1568\ J$

The change in internal energy is 1568 J.

(c). We need to calculate the final temperature of the water

Using formula of the change internal energy

$\Delta U=mc_{p}\Delta T$

$\Delta U=mc_{p}(T_{2}-T_{1})$

$T_{2}=T_{1}+\dfrac{\Delta U}{mc_{p}}$

$T_{2}=23+\dfrac{1568}{25\times4.18\times10^{3}}$

$T_{2}=23.01^{\circ}\ C$

The final temperature of the water is 23.01°C.

(d). The amount of heat removed from the water to return it to it initial temperature is the change in internal energy.

The amount of heat is 1568 J.

Hence, This is the required solution.

An airtight box has a removable lid of area 1.10 10-2 m2 and negligible weight. The box is taken up a mountain where the air pre

andrezito [222]

Answer:

F= $7.7\times10^2 N$

Explanation:

The magnitude of force required to pull the lid off the box by air pressure.

We know that Pressure, P= Force(F)/Area(A)

Force, F= P×A

Given: A= $1.10\times10^{-2} m^2$

P= $7\times10^{4} Pa$ .

Therefore, F= $7\times10^{4}\times1.10\times10^{-2}$ .

F= $7.7\times10^2 N$

If the speed is higher than the orbital velocity, but not high enough to leave Earth altogether (lower than the escape velocity), it will continue revolving around Earth along an elliptical orbit. (D) for example horizontal speed of 7,300 to approximately 10,000 m/s for Earth.

It takes 1 minute for 45 c to pass a point in a circuit, what is the current flowing through the circuit?

ohaa [14]

Answer:

0.75 A

Explanation:

An electric current is a flow of charged particles.

A current is defined through its intensity, which is given by:

$I=\frac{q}{t}$

where

I is the current intensity

q is the charge passing through a given point in the circuit

t is the time it takes for the charge q to pass that point in the circuit

In this problem, we have:

q = 45 C is the charge passing through the point in the circuit

$t=1 min = 60 s$ is the time elapsed

Therefore, the current intensity is:

$I=\frac{45}{60}=0.75 A$
