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.

What has research determined about the orbit of an electron around a nucleus?

sergeinik [125]

The one that research has determined about the orbit of an electron around nucleus is : Each sub-level electron type has a unique path where it will likely to be found
Here are the sub levels of an electron :
-sub level s, maximum number of 2 electrons
- sub level p, maximum number of 6 electrons
- sub level d, maximum number of 10 electrons
- sub level f, maximum number of 14 electrons

A circular loop of wire with a radius of 20 cm lies in the xy plane and carries a current of 2 A, counterclockwise when viewed f

Zina [86]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept related to the magnetic dipole moment that is defined as the product between the current and the object area. In our case we have the radius so we will get the area, which would be

$A=\pi r^2$

$A =\pi (0.2)^2$

$A =0.1256 m^2$

Once the area is obtained, it is possible to calculate the magnetic dipole moment considering the previously given definition:

$\mu=IA$

$\mu=2(0.1256)$

$\mu=0.25 A\cdot m^2$

Therefore the magnetic dipole moment is $0.25A\cdot m^2$

A force of 10. N toward the right is exerted on a wooden crate initially moving to the right on a horizontal wooden floor. the c

Artyom0805 [142]

1) 5 N

The crate is initially moving, so we must calculate the force of kinetic friction, which is given by:

$F_f = \mu_k mg$

where

$\mu_k=0.2$ is the coefficient of friction between the crate (made of wood) and the floor (made of wood). The coefficient of kinetic friction between wood and wood is about 0.2.

$mg=25 N$ is the weight of the crate

Substituting the numbers into the formula, we find

$F_f=(0.2)(25 N)=5 N$

2) 5 N

There are two forces acting on the crate along the horizontal direction:

- The force that pushes the crate toward the right, of magnitude $F=10 N$

- The force of friction, which acts in the opposite direction (so, towards the left), of magnitude $F_f = 5 N$

Since the two forces are in opposite directions, the net force is given by their difference:

$F_{net}=F-F_f = 10 N-5 N=5 N$

3) Yes

The crate is accelerating. In fact, according to Second Newton's Law:

$F_{net}=ma$ (1)

where Fnet is the net force on the crate, m is its mass, a is its acceleration. We can immediately see that since Fnet is not zero, the acceleration is also non-zero, so the crate is accelerating.

We can even calculate the magnitude of the acceleration. In fact, the mass of the crate is given by:

$m=\frac{Weight}{g}=\frac{25 N}{9.8 m/s^2}=2.55 kg$

And by using (1) we find

$a=\frac{F_{net}}{m}=\frac{5 N}{2.55 kg}=1.96 m/s^2$
