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

A certain radar installation tracks airplanes by transmitting electromagnetic radiation of wavelength 4.0 cm.
Anna35 [415]

the wavelength equation is

speed (of light in this case)= wavelength (m) x frequency

3x10^8m/s / .07m = f

frequency= 4 285 714 286 hertz

 

 

 

b) Total distance= 4.8 km (4,800 m)

Speed = 3x10^8 m/s

d=st

t= d/s

t= 4,800 m/3x10^8m/s

<span>t= 1x10^-5 seconds</span>

Which of these is an experiment generally regarded as being first carried out by James Joule?
Sholpan [36]
1. The correct answer among the choices provided is the third option. Measuring the temperature increase of water from doing work by stirring it is an experiment generally regarded as being first carried out by James Joule.
2.  Joule's experiment directly shows that heat is a form of energy. He wanted to make a different way of measuring energy.

What is the overall charge of 1.5 x 10^10 electrons?
Troyanec [42]

Answer: Charge = -2.4x10^-9 Coulombs

Explanation:

The charge of one electron is e = -1.6x10^-19 C

Then, the charge of 1.5 x 10^10 electrons is equal to 1.5 x 10^10 times the charge of one electron:

Here i will use the relation (a^b)*(a^c) = a^(b + c)

Charge = ( 1.5 x 10^10)*( -1.6x10^-19 C) = -2.4x10^(10 - 19) C  

Charge = -2.4x10^-9 C
