A 5.45-g combustible sample is burned in a calorimeter. the heat generated changes the temperature of 555 g of water from 20.5°c

to 39.5°c. how much energy is released by the burning? the specific heat of water is 4.18 j/ (°c × g). 564 j 2,500 j 44,100 j 138,000 j

Given:
m = 555 g, the mass of water in the calorimeter
ΔT = 39.5 - 20.5 = 19 °C, temperature change
c = 4.18 J/(°C-g), specific heat of  water

Assume that all generated heat goes into heating the water.
Then the energy released is
Q = mcΔT
    = (555 g)*(4.18 J/(°C-g)*(19 °C)
    = 44,078.1 J
    = 44,100 J (approximately)

Answer:  44,100 J

Two stunt drivers drive directly toward each other. At time t=0 the two cars are a distance D apart, car 1 is at rest, and car 2
lesantik [10]

Answer: Hello there!

We know this:

The distance between the cars at t= 0 is D.

car 2 has an initial velocity of v0 and no acceleration.

car 1 has no initial velocity and a acceleration of ax that starts at  t = 0

then we could obtain the acceleration of the car 1 by integrating the acceleration over the time; this is v(t) = ax*t where there is not a constant of integration because the car 1 has no initial velocity.

Because the cars are moving against each other, we want to se at what time t they meet, this is equivalent to see:  

position of car 1 + position of car 2 = D

and in this way we could ignore constants of integration :D

for the position of each car we integrate again:  

P1(t) = (1/2)ax*t^2 and P2(t) = v0t

v0t + (1/2)ax*t^2 = D

v0t + (1/2)ax*t^2  - D = 0

now we can solve it for t using the Bhaskara equation.

t = \frac{-v0 +\sqrt{v0^{2} + 4*(1/2)ax*D } }{2(1/2)ax} =\frac{-v0 +\sqrt{v0^{2} + 2ax*D } }{ax}

that we cant solve witout knowing the values for v0, D and ax. But you could replace them in that equation and obtain the time, where you must remember that you need to choose the positive solution (because this quadratic equation has two solutions).

Now we want to know the velocity of car 1 just before the impact, this can be calculated by valuating the time in the as the time that we just found in the velocity equation for the car 1, this is:

v(\frac{-v0 +\sqrt{v0^{2} + 2ax*D } }{ax}) = ax*\frac{-v0 +\sqrt{v0^{2} + 2ax*D } }{ax} = {-v0 +\sqrt{v0^{2} + 2ax*D }

where again, you need to replace the values of v0, D and ax.

Which of the following is NOT a level of home monitoring?
Bingel [31]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

d. electronic monitoring

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Home monitoring in its simplest term is the act of restricting the movement of an entity, object or an individual to a specified location, usually their homes.

In criminology, there are various levels of home monitoring. Some of them are;

i. <em>Curfew</em>: This type of home monitoring requires that the persons being monitored be indoors/at home at specified hours.

ii. <em>Home incarceration</em>: This level of home monitoring requires that the persons being monitored be indoors/at home at all times except in times of medical urgencies.

iii. <em>Home detention</em>: This seems to be one of the less strict forms of home monitoring. It requires that the persons being monitored be indoors/at home at all times except when necessary. For example, they could go to school, their workplace, to the market and so on.

Electronic monitoring is not a form of home monitoring as it allows the person being monitored to move freely. They might just contacted via telephone or any other means, at intervals to know their whereabouts.

A microwave oven uses 1,200 watts. It runs a total of 6 hours during the corse of a week. How much energy does the microwave ove
zzz [600]

Answer:

7.2 kilowatts

Explanation:

Energy= power x time

where:

power = 1,200watts to kilowatts is 1.2kw

time = 6hours

therefore,

energy = 1.2kw x 6hrs

=7.2 kilowatts

Help with the number 2 question​
MArishka [77]

Answer:

It is frequently stated that the value of the acceleration due to gravity at the pole is larger than at the equator because the poles are closer to the center of the earth due to the earth's oblateness. ... The measured value is larger because the earth's density is not uniform but increases toward the center.
