Answer:

The final temperature is 34,2 ºC when 1,20 g of wood is burned inside the calorimeter.

Explanation:

The heat of combustion of wood which is approximately 16 kJ/g means that 1 g requires 16 kJ of heat so let's calculate about 1,20 g which is the value of wood you have.

1 g ________ 16 kJ

1,20 g ______ 1,20 g x 16 kJ = 19,2 kJ = 19200 J

Now let's apply the calorimetry formula

Q = m . C . ΔT

19200 J = 500 g . 4,186 J/ gºC ( Tfinal - 25ºC)

<em>Look that we don't have the mass of water, instead we have the volume so as you know water density is 1 g/ml, we conclude that in 500 ml, we have 500 g.</em>

On the other hand we convert the 19.2 kJ into J (* 1000) by the units in the value of the specific heat of the water, it is in Joule

19200 J = 500 g . 4,186 J/ gºC ( Tfinal - 25ºC)

19200 J = 2093 J/ºC ( Tfinal - 25ºC)

19200 J = 2093 J/ºC .Tfinal - 52,325 J

19200 J + 52325 J = 2, 093 J/ºC .Tfinal

71525 J = 2093 J/ºC .Tfinal

71525 J /2093 ºC / J = Tfinal = 34,17ºC

Is the speed on this graph increasing or constant?
solong [7]

Answer:

The speed is constant.

Explanation:

The equation for a straight-line graph is  

<em>y</em> = m<em>x</em> + b

where m and b are constants.

m is the <em>slope</em> of the line and b is the <em>y-intercept. </em>

If we change the variables, the equation becomes

<em>d</em> = m<em>t</em> + b

m = \frac{\Delta d}{\Delta t} = = \frac{\text{ distance}}{\text{time}} = \text{speed}

Since m is constant, so is the speed.
