) In the calibration step of a thermochemistry experiment, a current of 117 mA, from a 24.0 V source was allowed to flow through

the electrical heater for 247 s and was found to result in an increase in the temperature of the calorimeter and its contents of +1.25 K. Calculate the heat capacity of the calorimeter and its contents

Answer:

Explanation:

Heat energy supplied = IVt where I = current = 117 A / 1000 = 0.117 A

V = 24 V and t, time = 247 s

Heat energy supplied = 0.117 A × 24V × 247s = 693.576 J

Heat capacity = quantity of heat supplied / rise in temperature

Heat capacity = 693.576 J / 1.25 K = 554.86 J/K

Which of the following has potential but not kinetic energy?
gavmur [86]

The answer would be option D "a ball sitting on a shelf." Potential energy is the amount of energy a object has while it's at rest.. (or not moving) Kinetic energy is how much energy a object is while it's moving. So in this case it's option D because a ball sitting on a shelf isn't moving therefore it has potential energy. It's not option A because thats a example of kinetic energy since how the roller coaster is moving. It's not option B because it's kinetic energy because the bike is moving. It's also not option C because it's kinetic energy because the bird is moving.


Hope this helps!

Which would melt first, germanium with a melting point of 1210 k or gold with a melting point of 1064oc?
iren2701 [21]
<span>Germanium To determine which melts first, convert their melting temperatures so they're both expressed on same scale. It doesn't matter what scale you use, Kelvin, Celsius, of Fahrenheit. Just as long as it's the same scale for everything. Since we already have one substance expressed in Kelvin and since it's easy to convert from Celsius to Kelvin, I'll use Kelvin. So convert the melting point from Celsius to Kelvin for Gold by adding 273.15 1064 + 273.15 = 1337.15 K So Germanium melts at 1210K and Gold melts at 1337.15K. Germanium has the lower melting point, so it melts first.</span>

Hannah walks 0.30 km to class in 5.0 min. what is her average speed in m/s?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

1.0 m/s

Explanation:

First, convert to SI units.

0.30 km × (1000 m / km) = 300 m

5.0 min × (60 s / min) = 300 s

Speed is distance divided by time:

300 m / 300 s = 1.0 m/s
