A 10.0g piece of copper wire, sitting in the sun reaches a temperature of 80.0 C. how many Joules are released when the copper c

Zolol [24]

Answer:

150.8 J

Explanation:

The heat released by the copper wire is given by:

$Q=mC_s \Delta T$

where:

m = 10.0 g is the mass of the wire

Cs = 0.377 j/(g.C) is the specific heat capacity of copper

$\Delta T=40.0 C - 80.0 C=-40.0 C$ is the change in temperature of the wire

Substituting into the equation, we find

$Q=(10.0 g)(0.377 J/gC)(-40.0^{\circ})=-150.8 J$

And the sign is negative because the heat is released by the wire.

What energy is needed to raise the temperature of 2 kg of water from 20 ºC to 100 ºC. The heat capacity of water is 4190 J /kg/

aev [14]

Answer:

670400 J

Explanation:

m = mass of water = 2 kg

T₀ = initial temperature of water = 20 ºC

T = initial temperature of water = 100 ºC

c = heat capacity of water = 4190 J /kg ºC

Q = energy needed to raise the temperature of water

Energy needed to raise the temperature of water is given as

Q = m c (T - T₀)

Inserting the values

Q = (2) (4190) (100 - 20)

Q = 670400 J

If you triple the speed from 20km/h to 60km/h, by what factor does the KE increase?

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

The kinetic energy increases by a factor of 9

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy

It's the energy related to the speed of an object and is calculated by the formula

$\displaystyle K=\frac{mv^2}{2}$

Let's suppose the initial speed of the mass is $v_o$ , then the kinetic energy is

$\displaystyle K_o=\frac{mv_o^2}{2}$

Now the speed will triple, i.e. $v_1=3v_o$ . The new kinetic energy is

$\displaystyle K_1=\frac{mv_1^2}{2}$

$\displaystyle K_1=\frac{m(3v_o)^2}{2}$

$\displaystyle K_1=9\frac{mv_o^2}{2}$

Thus

$K_1=9K_o$

The kinetic energy increases by a factor of 9

Let's check with numbers: $v_o=20,\ v_1=60$

$\displaystyle K_o=\frac{m20^2}{2}=200m$

$\displaystyle K_1=\frac{m60^2}{2}=1800m$

The relation is

$\displaystyle \frac{K_1}{K_o}=9$

The new kinetic energy is nine times the initial kinetic energy.

A town interested in installing wind turbines to generate electricity measures the speed of the wind in the town over the course

nalin [4]

Answer:

A town interested in installing wind turbines to generate electricity measures the speed of the wind in the town over the course of a year. They find that most of the time, the wind speed is pretty slow, while only rarely does the wind blow very fast during a storm. What would be the best measure of the central wind speed they should report to the mayor?

The median is the best measure of the central wind speed they should report to the mayor because the distribution is not symmetric. The distribution of wind speeds is skewed.

Explanation:

Based on the scenario described in the question, the median is the best measure of the central wind speed they should report to the mayor because the distribution is not symmetric. The distribution of wind speeds is skewed.
