Mass = 0.201kg
Energy = 15J
temperature change = 10C

Energy(E) = mass(m) × specific heat capacity(c) × temperature change(θ)

we can rearrange this to make specific heat capacity the subject

c =\frac{E}{m\theta}

c =\frac{15}{2.01}
c =7.46268657

Answer:

The specific heat of the object is 0.0074 J/(g °C)

Explanation:

Data

mass, m = 201 g

Heat, Q = 15 J

temperature change, ΔT = 10 °C

specific heat, cp = ?

The equation that relates these variables is:

Q = m*cp*ΔT

Solving for specific heat we get:

cp = Q/(m*ΔT)

Replacing with data (units are ommited):

cp = 15/(201*10)

cp = 0.0074 J/(g °C)

M84, M87, and NGC 4258 all have accretion disks around their central black holes for which the rotational velocities have been m
givi [52]

Answer:

<u>For M84:</u>

M = 590.7 * 10³⁶ kg

<u>For M87:</u>

M = 2307.46 * 10³⁶ kg

Explanation:

1 parsec, pc  = 3.08 * 10¹⁶ m

The equation of the orbit speed can be used to calculate the doppler velocity:

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r} }

making m the subject of the formula in the equation above to calculate the mass of the black hole:

M = \frac{v^{2} r}{G}.............(1)

<u>For M84:</u>

r = 8 pc = 8 * 3.08 * 10¹⁶

r = 24.64 * 10¹⁶ m

v = 400 km/s = 4 * 10⁵ m/s

G = 6.674 * 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Substituting these values into equation (1)

M = \frac{( 4*10^{5}) ^{2} *24.64* 10^{16} }{6.674 * 10^{-11} }

M = 590.7 * 10³⁶ kg

<u>For M87:</u>

r = 20 pc = 20 * 3.08 * 10¹⁶

r = 61.6* 10¹⁶ m

v = 500 km/s = 5 * 10⁵ m/s

G = 6.674 * 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Substituting these values into equation (1)

M = \frac{( 5*10^{5}) ^{2} *61.6* 10^{16} }{6.674 * 10^{-11} }

M = 2307.46 * 10³⁶ kg

The mass of the black hole in the galaxies is measured using the doppler shift.

The assumption made is that the intrinsic velocity dispersion is needed to match the line widths that are observed.

A 2.4-kg ball falling vertically hits the floor with a speed of 2.5 m/s and rebounds with a speed of 1.5 m/s. What is the magnit
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

9.6 Ns

Explanation:

Note: From newton's second law of motion,

Impulse = change in momentum

I = m(v-u).................. Equation 1

Where I = impulse, m = mass of the ball, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity.

Given: m = 2.4 kg, v = 2.5 m/s, u = -1.5 m/s (rebounds)

Substitute into equation 1

I = 2.4[2.5-(-1.5)]

I = 2.4(2.5+1.5)

I = 2.4(4)

I = 9.6 Ns

A person travels by car from one city to another with different constant speeds between pair of cities. She drives for 36 min at
Softa [21]

 Change minutes to hrs, divide by 60:
30 min = .50 hrs
45 min = .75 hrs
12 min = .20 hrs
----------------
total + 1.45 hrs, total travel time
:

let a = average speed for the trip
:
Write a dist equation, dist = speed * time
:
80(.5) + 100(.20) + 40(.75) = 1.45a
40 + 20 + 30 = 1.45a
90 = 1.45a
a =
a = 62.069 km/h, for the entire trip
and
90 km is the total distance

How do stars serve as evidence for the expansion of the universe and the Big Bang theory?​
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

The Doppler red-shift of light observed from distant stars and galaxies gives evidence that the universe is expanding (moving away from a central point). This allows for Big Bang Theory, because after a “bang” occurs all of the matter moves away from the point of origin.
