To calculate the specific heat capacity of an object or substance, we can use the formula

c = E / m△T

Where
c as the specific heat capacity,
E as the energy applied (assume no heat loss to surroundings),
m as mass and
△T as the energy change.

Now just substitute the numbers given into the equation.

c = 2000 / 2 x 5
c = 2000/ 10
c = 200

Therefore we can conclude that the specific heat capacity of the block is 200 Jkg^-1°C^-1

An insulated Thermos contains 140 cm3 of hot coffee at 85.0°C. You put in a 15.0 g ice cube at its melting point to cool the cof
Pavel [41]

Answer:

T = 69^o C

Explanation:

Here at thermal equilibrium we can say that thermal energy given by Hot coffee is equal to the thermal energy absorbed by ice cubes

So here we have

Q_{ice} = Q_{coffee}

now since ice cubes are added into coffee when it is at melting temperature

So here we can say that final temperature of coffee is T degree C

Now we have

m_1L + m_1c_1\Delta T_1 = m_2c_2\Delta T_2

here we have

m_1 = 15 gram

L = 333 kJ/kg = 333 J/g[/tex]

c_1 = c_2 = 4186 J/kg C = 4.186 J/g C

\Delta T_1 = T - 0

\Delta T_2 = 85 - T

now we have

15(333) + 15(4.186)(T - 0) = 140(4.186)(85 - T)

4995 + 62.79T = 49813.4 - 586.04T

648.83 T = 44818.4

T = 69^o C

As a planet's semimajor axis gets smaller, its speed will _______ and its period will _________ .
Rufina [12.5K]
Well first of all, a planet doesn't have a semimajor axis, although it's orbit does.

In an orbit with a smaller semimajor axis, the planet moves faster, and its orbital period is shorter.

That's why the International Space Station circles the Earth in less time than the Moon does.

A car of mass 500 kg is moving at a speed of 1.2 m/s. A man pushes the car, increasing the speed to 2 m/s. How much work did the
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Option B - 360 J

Explanation:

One of the formulas used to find out how much work was done is :

E = 0.5×m×v² (where m is the mass and v is the velocity)

Now we substitute values from the question and simplify :

E = 0.5×500×1.2²

E = 250×1.2²

E = 250×1.44

E = 360 J

So our answer is Option B

Hope this helped and have a good day

Calculate the average orbital speed of Ceres in
marin [14]
] Ceres is composed of rock and ice and is estimated to comprise approximately one third of the mass of the entire asteroid belt. Ceres is the only object in the asteroid belt known to be rounded by its own gravity (though detailed analysis was required to exclude 4 Vesta). From Earth, the apparent magnitude of Ceres ranges from 6.7 to 9.3, peaking once every 15 to 16 months,[21]hence even at its brightest it is too dim to be seen with the naked eye except under extremely dark skies.
