At an oceanside nuclear power plant, seawater is used as part of the cooling system. This raises the temperature of the water th

at is discharged back into the ocean. The amount that the water temperature is raised has a uniform distribution over the interval from 10° to 25° C. Suppose that a temperature increase of more than 18° C is considered to be potentially dangerous to the environment. What is the probability that at any point in time, the temperature increase is potentially dangerous?

Solution A has a specific heat of 2.0 J/g◦C. Solution B has a specific heat of 3.8 J/g◦C. If equal masses of both solutions start
fgiga [73]

Answer: 2. Solution A attains a higher temperature.

Explanation: Specific heat simply means, that amount of heat which is when supplied to a unit mass of a substance will raise its temperature by 1°C.

In the given situation we have equal masses of two solutions A & B, out of which A has lower specific heat which means that a unit mass of solution A requires lesser energy to raise its temperature by 1°C than the solution B.

Since, the masses of both the solutions are same and equal heat is supplied to both, the proportional condition will follow.

<em>We have a formula for such condition,</em>

Q=m.c.\Delta T.....................................(1)

where:

  • \Delta T= temperature difference
  • Q= heat energy
  • m= mass of the body
  • c= specific heat of the body

<u>Proving mathematically:</u>

<em>According to the given conditions</em>

  • we have equal masses of two solutions A & B, i.e. m_A=m_B
  • equal heat is supplied to both the solutions, i.e. Q_A=Q_B
  • specific heat of solution A, c_{A}=2.0 J.g^{-1} .\degree C^{-1}
  • specific heat of solution B, c_{B}=3.8 J.g^{-1} .\degree C^{-1}
  • \Delta T_A & \Delta T_B are the change in temperatures of the respective solutions.

Now, putting the above values

Q_A=Q_B

m_A.c_A. \Delta T_A=m_B.c_B . \Delta T_B\\\\2.0\times \Delta T_A=3.8 \times \Delta T_B\\\\ \Delta T_A=\frac{3.8}{2.0}\times \Delta T_B\\\\\\\frac{\Delta T_{A}}{\Delta T_{B}} = \frac{3.8}{2.0}>1

Which proves that solution A attains a higher temperature than solution B.

) a 1.0 kilogram laboratory cart moving with a velocity of 0.50 meter per second due east collides with and sticks to a similar
ZanzabumX [31]
Momentum would be the same before and after the collision
 Before the collision:
 Momentum of the single cart: 1 * 0.50 = 0.50
 After the collision
 velocity = 0.25m / s
 1 * 0.25 + 1 * 0.25 =
 0.25 * (1 + 1) =
 0.25 * 2 =
 0.50
 Now new momentum will be 0.5
 answer
 the same before and after the collision

Can somebody help me PLEASE I will mark Brainly and 10+ points
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

3)solid, liquid,  gas

4)false

5)Our weight on moon is less than it would be on Earth due to a difference of the strength of gravity on the moon. The moon's gravitation force is determined by the mass and the size of the moon. ... This means that if you went to the moon you would weigh less, even though your mass stays the same

6)Physical changes are changes that do not alter the identity of a substance. Chemical changes are changes that occur when one substance is turned into another substance. Chemical changes are frequently harder to reverse than physical changes.

7)Try to be as accurate as possible with your measurements, and then subtract the former from the latter to find the mass of the object. This process is commonly referred to as "taring."

8) i think ductility but im not sure

9)If only the form of a substance changes, you have observed a physical change. A common physical change occurs when matter changes from one phase to another. When an ice cube melts for example, it becomes liquid water.

10)Oil floats on the surface because water is heavier than oil. Scientists say that water is more dense than oil. This is why the oil always stays in the top container.
