Specific Heat capacity or thermal capacity is a measurable physical quantity equal to the ratio of the heat added to (or removed from) an object to the resulting temperature change. Heat capacity is an extensive property of matter, meaning that it is proportional to the size of the system.

What voltage battery would you need to send 2.5A of current through a light bulb of resistance 3.6 ohm
nadezda [96]
<h3><u>Given</u> :</h3>

Current flow light bulb = 2.5\sf{A}

Resistance of light bulb = 3.6Ω

<h3><u>To Find </u>:</h3>

We have to find voltage of battery.

<h3><u>Solution</u> :</h3>

➠ As per ohm's law, current flow through a conductor is directly proportional to the applied potential difference.

➝ V ∝ I

➝ <u>V = I × R</u>

Where, R is the resistance of conductor.

⇒ V = I × R

⇒ V = 2.5 × 3.6

⇒ <u>V = 9 volt</u>

Planet a and planet b are in circular orbits around a distant star. planet a is 7.8 times farther from the star than is planet
gogolik [260]
To find the ratio of planetary speeds Va/Vb we need the orbital velocity formula: 

V=√({G*M}/R), where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the distant star and R is the distance of the planet from the star it is orbiting. 

So Va/Vb=[√( {G*M}/Ra) ] / [√( {G*M}/Rb) ], in our case Ra = 7.8*Rb 

Va/Vb=[ √( {G*M}/{7.8*Rb} ) ]  / [√( {G*M}/Rb )], we put everything under one square root by the rule: (√a) / (√b) = √(a/b) 

Va/Vb=√ [ { (G*M)/(7.8*Rb) } / { (G*M)/(Rb) } ], when we cancel out G, M and Rb we get:

Va/Vb=√(1/7.8)/(1/1)=√(1/7.8)=0.358 so the ratio of Va/Vb = 0.358.
