Why do specific heat capacity of objects differ?

1 answer:

7 0

The specific heat capacity of different substances vary for the same reason that different substances have different melting and boiling points to one another. If the bonds between atoms are stronger, it will require more energy to heat up the substance.Sep 8, 2018

Which value would complete the last cell?

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

4.0

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Force (F) = 20 N

Mass (m) = 5 kg

Acceleration (a) =.?

Force is simply defined as the product of mass and acceleration. Mathematically, it is expressed as

Force (F) = mass (m) x acceleration (a)

F = ma

With the above formula, we can obtain th acceleration of the body as follow:

Force (F) = 20 N

Mass (m) = 5 kg

Acceleration (a) =.?

F = ma

20 = 5 x a

Divide both side by 5

a = 20/5

a = 4 m/s²

Therefore, the value that will complete the last cell in the question above is 4.

If position vector r = bt^2i + ct^3j, where b and c are positive constants, when does the velocity vector make an angle of 450 w

vazorg [7]

$\vec r(t)=bt^2\,\vec\imath+ct^3\,\vec\jmath$

The velocity at time $t$ is

$\dfrac{\mathrm d\vec r(t)}{\mathrm dt}=2bt\,\vec\imath+3ct^2\,\vec\jmath$

Take two vectors that point in the positive $x$ and positive $y$ directions, such as $\vec\imath$ and $\vec\jmath$ . The dot products of the velocity vector with $\vec\imath$ and $\vec\jmath$ are

$\dfrac{\mathrm d\vec r(t)}{\mathrm dt}\cdot\vec\imath=2bt=\sqrt{4b^2t^2+9c^2t^4}\cos\theta$

and

$\dfrac{\mathrm d\vec r(t)}{\mathrm dt}\cdot\vec\jmath=3ct^2=\sqrt{4b^2t^2+9c^2t^4}\cos\theta$

We want the angles between these vectors to be 45º, for which we have $\cos45^\circ=\frac1{\sqrt2}$ . So

$\begin{cases}2\sqrt2\,bt=\sqrt{4b^2t^2+9c^2t^4}\\3\sqrt2\,ct^2=\sqrt{4b^2t^2+9c^2t^4}\end{cases}\implies3\sqrt2\,ct^2-2\sqrt2\,bt=0$

$\implies t(3ct-2b)=0$

$\implies t=0\text{ or }t=\dfrac{2b}{3c}$

When $t=0$ , the velocity vector is equal to the zero vector, which technically has no direction/doesn't make an angle with any other vector. So the only time this happens is for
