Answer:

a true

Explanation:

Water has the high specific heat capacity.

That means it resists to change its temperature when a considerable amount of heat lost or gained

4200J is needed to raise the temperature of 1kg substance by 1 degree Celsius

Two 5.0 kilogram objects have different gravitational potential energies. What property of the objects must differ?

ipn [44]

Answer:

Height.

Explanation:

Potential energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position.

Mathematically, potential energy is given by the formula;

$P.E = mgh$

Where,

P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

Hence, the property of the object (having a mass of 5 kilograms) which must differ to have different gravitational potential energies is the height from which they are falling from.

The object having the higher height would have a greater gravitational potential energy than the lower object.

A square-based shipping crate is being designed that must contain a volume of 16 ft3 . The material that is used for the base an

Vlada [557]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

volume $V=16 ft^3$

Suppose base is square with side L

height of crate is h

Volume $V=L^2\times h$

$16=L^2\times h$

Cost of top and bottom area $c_1=3L^2$

Cost of Side area $c_2=4Lh\times 2=8Lh=8L\times \frac{16}{L^2}=\frac{128}{L}$

Total Cost $C=c_1+c_2$

Total Cost $C=3L^2+\frac{128}{L}$

Differentiate C w.r.t Length

$\frac{dC}{dL}=6L-\frac{128}{L^2}$

$L^3=\frac{128}{6}$

$L=2.75 ft$

$h=\frac{16}{2.75^2}=11.46 ft$

Dimensions are $L\times L\times h=2.75\times 2.75\times 11.46$

The atomic mass of nitrogen is 14.01, hydrogen is 1.01, sulfur is 32.07, and oxygen is 16.00. What is the molar mass of ammonium

MArishka [77]

The molar mass of ammonium sulphate [(NH4)2SO4] is 132.17 g (option E). Details about molar mass can be found below.

<h3>How to calculate molar mass?</h3>

The molar mass of a substance can be calculated by adding the atomic masses of the elements in the compound.

According to this question, the atomic mass of nitrogen is given as 14.01, hydrogen is 1.01, sulfur is 32.07, and oxygen is 16.00.

The molar mass of ammonium sulphate is as follows:

[(NH4)2SO4] = [14.01 + 1(4)]2 + 32.07 + 16.00(4)

= 36.02 + 32.07 + 64

= 132.09

Therefore, the molar mass of ammonium sulphate [(NH4)2SO4] is 132.17 g.

The 9 kg block is then released and accelerates to the right, toward the 5 kg block. The surface is rough and the coefficient of

Ahat [919]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first and second uploaded image

Answer:

The velocity is $=4.51m/s$

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the 9 kg can be determined by these expression

Kinetic energy of 9 kg block = initial energy stored - energy lost as a result of friction

Now to obtain the initial energy stored

Let U denote the initial energy stored and

$U = \frac{1}{2} kx^2$

Where x is the length the spring is displaced

k is the force constant of the string

$U = \frac{1}{2} * 627 * (0.6)^2$

$= 112.86 J$

Now referring to the formula above

i.e Kinetic energy of 9 kg block = initial energy stored - energy lost as a result of friction

$\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = 112.86 - \mu_kmgx$

$v^2 = \frac{2(112.86 -\mu_kmgx)}{m}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2(112,86- \mu_kmgx)}{m}}$

and we are told that coefficient of friction = 0.4 and the mass is 9 kg ,the acceleration due to gravity $= 9.8m/s^2$ this displacement length of spring = 0.6

Therefore $v = \sqrt{\frac{2(112.86- (0.4 *9*9.8*0.6))}{9} }$

$=4.51m/s$
