Answer:
a material with a large specific heat can absorb a great deal of thermal energy without a great change in temperature.
Explanation:
The specific heat capacity of an object is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of mass of a substance by .
Mathematically, it is given by:
where
Q is the amount of energy supplied
m is the mass of the substance
is the change in temperature of the substance
The equation can be rewritten as:
Therefore, we see that the increase in temperature of a substance is inversely proportional to its specific heat capacity.
Therefore, a material with a large specific heat can absorb a great deal of thermal energy without a great change in temperature.
Answer:
1.045 m from 120 kg
Explanation:
m1 = 120 kg
m2 = 420 kg
m = 51 kg
d = 3 m
Let m is placed at a distance y from 120 kg so that the net force on 51 kg is zero.
By use of the gravitational force
Force on m due to m1 is equal to the force on m due to m2.
3 - y = 1.87 y
3 = 2.87 y
y = 1.045 m
Thus, the net force on 51 kg is zero if it is placed at a distance of 1.045 m from 120 kg.
A delightful problem !
I'm pretty sure that what we need here is the speeds, not the velocities,
and that's the way I'm going to do it.
Regular speed is (distance covered) divided by (time to cover the distance) .
Angular speed is very much the same.
It's
(angle turned) divided by (time to turn the angle) .
<u>Earth's orbit around the sun</u>:
..... Once per year.
..... Roughly 360° in 365 days ..... <em>almost exactly 1° per day</em>.
Let's see what it is more accurately:
(360°) / (<span>365.25636<span> days) = 0.985609° per day.
============================================
<u>Earth's rotation on its axis</u>:
..... Once per "day".
..... Roughly 360° in 24 hours ..... <em>almost exactly 15° per hour</em>.
This one is slightly trickier to do more accurately, because a day is
not necessarily 24 hours. It depends on what you call 1 day.
-- If you say the day is the period of time between when the sun is
highest in the sky, then that averages out to 24 hours in the course
of a year.
-- If you say that the day is the period of time it takes for a star
to reach the same point in the sky tomorrow night, then that's </span></span>
23 hours, 56 minutes, 4.09 seconds .
Using this to calculate the angular speed of rotation, you get
(360°) / (23h 56m 4.09s) = 15.041° per hour

The main points are that
- The arrowheads go in opposite directions
- Displacement is measured from the origin to the arrowhead of the last vector correctly drawn.
- the tail of the second vector starts where the arrowhead of the first vector is.

Answer: 4.17 m
Explanation: According to the law of conservation of energy, the elastic potential energy of the elastic material is used in launching the mass hence giving the body it potential energy.
Elastic potential energy = kx²/2
Potential energy = mgh
Where m = mass of object = 0.24kg
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
h = height =?
k = spring constant = 850 N/m
x = compression = 31cm = 0.13m
kx²/2 = mgh
kx² = 2× mgh
850 ×(0.31)² = 2 × 9.8 × h
h = 850 × (0.31)²/ 2 × 9.8
h = 81.685 / 19.6
h = 4.17 m
