Which of the following (with specific heat capacity provided) would show the smallest temperature change upon gaining 200.0 J of
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

A) 50.0 g Al

Explanation:

We can calculate the temperature change of each substance by using the equation:

\Delta T=\frac{Q}{mC_s}

where

Q = 200.0 J is the heat provided to the substance

m is the mass of the substance

C_s is the specific heat of the substance

Let's apply the formula for each substance:

A) m = 50.0 g, Cs = 0.903 J/g°C

\Delta T=\frac{200}{(50)(0.903)}=4.4^{\circ}C

B) m = 50.0 g, Cs = 0.385 J/g°C

\Delta T=\frac{200}{(50)(0.385)}=10.4^{\circ}C

C) m = 25.0 g, Cs = 0.79 J/g°C

\Delta T=\frac{200}{(25)(0.79)}=10.1^{\circ}C

D) m = 25.0 g, Cs = 0.128 J/g°C

\Delta T=\frac{200}{(25)(0.128)}=62.5^{\circ}C

E) m = 25.0 g, Cs = 0.235 J/g°C

\Delta T=\frac{200}{(25)(0.235)}=34.0^{\circ}C

As we can see, substance A) (Aluminium) is the one that undergoes the smallest temperature change.

The gravitational force between two objects is
Ghella [55]

The complete question is;

The gravitational force between two objects is ______ proportional to the products of the masses and _______ proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Answer:

First dash is directly

Second dash is inversely

Explanation:

From Newton's law of gravitation the gravitational force is given by the equation;

F = GMm/r²

Where:

F is gravitational force

M and m are two masses representing the two objects

r is the distance between them

G = universal gravitational constant

Thus, if we are to write it in proportion format, we will have;

F ∝ Mm/r²

From this proportion relationship, we can see that the Gravitational force is directly proportional to the products of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Describe how you can see and feel sound waves
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Sound is a vibration, or wave, that travels through the air. Sound waves are invisible to our eyes; unless we find a way to make the sound waves move something that we can see. In this activity, your child will use different noise-making objects to cause sound waves and make sand visibly move.

Sound wave can be described by five characteristics: Wavelength, Amplitude, Time-Period, Frequency and Velocity or Speed. The minimum distance in which a sound wave repeats itself is called its wavelength.

Explanation:

When the vibrating air hits your eardrum, it causes your eardrum to vibrate, just as the balloon did. These vibrations are transferred through the tiny bones in your ear to the inner ear. These vibrations are detected by nerves, which send impulses that your brain "hears" as sound.

You measure the velocity of a drag racer that accelerates with constant acceleration. You want to plot the data and determine th
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

a) Linear equation

Explanation:

Definition of acceleration

a=\frac{dv}{dt}\\

if a=constant and we integrate the last equation

v(t)=v_{o}+a*t

So the relation between the time and the velocity is linear. If we plot the velocity in function of time, the plot is a line, and the acceleration is the slope of this line.

The force exerted on the tires of a car that directly accelerate it along a road is exerted by the
azamat

The force exerted on the tires of a car that directly accelerate it along a road is exerted by the road friction.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration of an object.

Friction is defined as the force that resists the movement of an object over another.

Therefore, the force exerted on the tires of a car that directly accelerate it along a road is exerted by the road friction.
