How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of 8g of water by 20oC?

1 answer:

7 0

The following information are given in the question:
Mass, M = 8 g
Temperature, T = 20 degree Celsius
Specific heat of water [this value is a constant] C = 1 c/gc
Heat, Q = ?
The formula for calculating the amount of heat required is given below:
Q = MCT = 8 * 1 * 20 = 160
Therefore, Q = 160 cal.

Help on finding kinetic energy??

Jobisdone [24]

Trick question? In order to have kinetic energy, an object must be moving. Therefore, in this case, kinetic energy would be 0. If it were asking about potential energy, it would be a different story.

Question 4 (1 point)

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer: 0.42 Amperes

Explanation:

Given that:

Current, I = ?

Electric charge Q = 100 coulomb

Time, T = 4.0 minutes

(The SI unit of time is seconds. so, convert 4.0 minutes to seconds)

If 1 minute = 60 seconds

4.0 minutes = 4.0 x 60 = 240 seconds

Since electric charge, Q = current x time

i.e Q = I x T

100 coulomb = I x 240 seconds

I = 100 coulomb / 240 seconds

I = 0.4167 Amperes (round to the nearest hundredth which is 0.42 amperes)

Thus, 0.42 Amperes of current flows in the circuit.

A pipe is open at both ends. The pipe has resonant frequencies of 528 Hz and 660HZ (among others).

yawa3891 [41]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the oscillation frequency-related concepts specifically in string or pipe close at both ends or open at both ends.

By definition the oscillation frequency is defined as

$f = n\frac{v}{2L}$
