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)

Answer:

Velocity and speed both are continuously increasing.

Acceleration is constant.

Explanation:

Speed is defined as length of path covered by a body per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity that consist of magnitude only and not direction.

Velocity is defined as the displacement per unit times. Displacement is the shortest distance between the two points. It is a vector quantity and  hence has a direction in the direction of displacement along with its own magnitude.

  • Both velocity and speed have same unit of measure which is meter per second in S.I. During <em>free fall</em> in the absence of any air resistance the velocity and speed both will be having a vertical downward direction with continuously increasing magnitude. Tough we are not concerned about the direction when discussing about speed but here both are equal since the motion is linear.

Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity of a body which is a vector quantity. For speed we are concerned about instantaneous acceleration since for a short period of time it may have a specific direction.

  • During free fall the acceleration is of a body is equal to the acceleration due to gravity and constant when the height of fall is much lesser than the radius of the earth.

If 1 meter = 3.28 feet, what is the height of the Washington Monument in meters?
jasenka [17]
Since you didn't provide how tall the Monument was, I took the liberty to find it and it is 555 feet tall. So to convert to meters we must divide 555 by 3.28 or multiply it by 0.3048 (this is the method I used).
555 x 0.3048 = 169.164 meters
