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)

The velocity of a passenger relative to a boat is -vpb. The velocity of the boat relative to the river it is moving on is vbr. T
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

vps = vbr + vrs - vpb

Explanation:

  • If the passenger were at rest, his speed relative to the shore will be identical to the boat's, as follows:
  • vps = vbr + vrs
  • As he is moving in a direction opposite to the boat's, his velocity relative to the shore must be less than if he were at rest, in the same quantity that he was moving opposite to the boat, as follows:
  • vps = vbr+ vrs -vpb
