The heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by a given amount (usually one degree).

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.

A student calculates the density of a copper cube to be 4.15 g/cm . If the accepted value is 8.64 g/cm the percentage error in h
Helen [10]

 The percentage error in his experimental value is -51.97%.

<h3>What is percentage error?</h3>

This is the ratio of the error to the actual measurement, expressed in percentage.

To calculate the percentage error of the student, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • Error(%) = (calculated value-accepted value)100/(accepted............. Equation 1

From the question,

Given:

  • Calculated value = 4.15 g/cm
  • accepted value = 8.64 g/cm

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • Error(%) = (4.15-8.64)100/8.64
  • Error(%) = -4.49(100)/8.64
  • Error(%) = -449/8.64
  • Error(%) = -51.97 %

 

Hence, The percentage error in his experimental value is -51.97%.

A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly for a five seconds along a straight road. If speed obtained by the car is 72 km
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

50 meters

Explanation:

Let's start by converting to m/s. There are 3600 seconds in an hour and 1000 meters in a kilometer, meaning that 72km/h is 20m/s.

v_f=v_o+at

Since the car starts at rest, you can write the following equation:

20=0+a(5) \\\\a=20\div 5=4 m/s^2

Now that you have the acceleration, you can do this:

d=v_o+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Once again, there is no initial velocity:

d=\dfrac{1}{2}(4)(5)^2=2 \cdot 25=50m

Hope this helps!

A swimming pool is 4.0 m in depth; a swimmer at this depth feels discomfort in the ear. Calculate the net force on a 0.50-cm-dia
Mashcka [7]

The net force on a 0.50-cm-diameter eardrum is mathematically given as

F= 0.76969 N

<h3>What is the net force on a 0.50-cm-diameter eardrum?</h3>

Generally, the equation for Pressure is  mathematically given as

P = ρgh

Therefore

P= 1000*9.8*4

P= 39200 Pa

Where

A= pi*(0.005/2)^2

Generally, the equation for Net force is  mathematically given as

F = PA

F= 39200 *( pi*(0.005/2)^2)

F= 0.76969 N

In conclusion, The net force is

F= 0.76969 N

Which of the following objects has the greatest kinetic energy?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

a baseball flying through the air at 90 miles per hour

Explanation:

For the question, Therefore, the kinetic energy of an object is proportional to the square of its velocity (speed). In other words, If the velocity is doubled the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of four.

The energy E of the electron in a hydrogen atom can be calculated from the Bohr formula: =E−Ryn2 In this equation Ry stands for
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

  λ = 162 10⁻⁷ m

Explanation:

Bohr's model for the hydrogen atom gives energy by the equation

         E_{n} = - k²e² / 2m (1 / n²)

Where k is the Coulomb constant, e and m the charge and mass of the electron respectively and n is an integer

The Planck equation

           E = h f

The speed of light is

          c = λ f

          E = h c /λ

For a transition between two states we have

          E_{n} - E_{m} = - k²e² / 2m (1 / n_{f}² -1 / n_{i}²)

           h c / λ = -k² e² / 2m (1 / n_{f}² - 1/ n_{i}²)

           1 / λ = (- k² e² / 2m h c) (1 / n_{f}² - 1/n_{i}²)

The Rydberg constant with a value of 1,097 107 m-1 is the result of the constant in parentheses

Let's calculate the emission of the transition

            1 /λ = 1.097 10⁷ (1/10² - 1/8²)

            1 / λ = 1.097 10⁷ (0.01 - 0.015625)

            1 /λ = 0.006170625 10⁷

            λ = 162 10⁻⁷ m
