Recall specific heat of water is 4186 j/kg/C. Find the specific heat of sample.
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Shown by explanation;

Explanation:

The heat of the sample = mass ×specific heat capacity of the sample × temperature change(∆T)

Assumption;I assume the mass of the samples are : 109g and 192g

∆T= 30.1-21=8.9°c.

The heat of the samples are for 109g are:

0.109 × 4186 × 8.9 =4060.84J

For 0.192g are;

∆T= 67-30.1-=36.9°c

0.192 × 4186×36.9=29656.97J

An object thrown vertically upward from the surface of a celestial body at a velocity of 36 ​m/s reaches a height of sequalsminu
Anarel [89]

Answer:

v = -1.8t+36

20 seconds

360 m

40 seconds

36 m/s

The object speed will increase when it is coming down from its highest height.

Explanation:

s=-0.9t^2+36t

Differentiating with respect to time we get

\frac{ds}{dt}=-1.8t+36\\\Rightarrow v=-1.8t+36

a) Velocity of the object after t seconds is v = -1.8t+36

At the highest point v will be 0

0=-1.8t+36\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{-36}{-1.8}\\\Rightarrow t=20\ s

b) The object will reach the highest point after 20 seconds

s=-0.9t^2+36t\\\Rightarrow s=-0.9\times 20^2+36\times 20\\\Rightarrow s=360\ m

c) Highest point the object will reach is 360 m

s=-0.9t^2+36t\\\Rightarrow 360=-0.9t^2+36t\\\Rightarrow -0.9t^2+36t-360=0\\\Rightarrow -9t^2+360t-3600=0

\frac{-360\pm \sqrt{0}}{2\left(-9\right)}\\\Rightarrow t=20\ s

d) Time taken to strike the ground would be 20+20 = 40 seconds

[tex]v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+0.9\times 2\times 20\\\Rightarrow v=36\ m/s

Acceleration will be taken as positive because the object is going down. Hence, the sign changes. 2 is multiplied because the expression is given in the form of s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

e) The velocity with which the object strikes the ground will be 36 m/s

f) The speed will increase when the object has gone up and for 20 seconds and falls down for 20 seconds. The object speed will increase when it is coming down from its highest height.

Which statements describe a fully charged capacitor? Check all that apply.
Oksanka [162]
Well, first of all, there's no such thing as "fully charged" for a capacitor.

A capacitor has a "maximum working voltage", because of mechanical
or chemical reasons, just like a car has a maximum safe speed.  But
anywhere below that, cars and capacitors do their jobs just fine, without
any risk of failing.

So we have a capacitor that has some charge on it, and therefore some
voltage across it.  From the list of choices above . . .

<span>-- Both plates have the same amount of charge.
Yes.  And both plates have opposite TYPES of charge.
One plate is loaded with electrons and is negatively charged.
The other plate is missing electrons and is positively charged.

-- There is a potential difference between the plates.
Yes.  That's the "voltage" mentioned earlier.
It's a measure of how badly the extra electrons want to jump
from the negative plate to the positive plate.

-- Electric potential energy is stored.
Yes.  It's the energy that had to be put into the capacitor
to move electrons away from one plate and cram them
onto the other plate.

Longer wavelengths of light, such as _______, have ________ energy than shorter wavelengths, such as _________
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Micro and radio waves.

Lower energy.

Gamma rays.

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation and their respective wavelengths.

Ionising radiation os defined as the energy required of photons of a wave to ionize atoms, causing chemical reactions.

The energy of the wave depends on both the amplitude and the frequency. If the energy of each wavelength is a discrete packet of energy, a high-frequency wave will deliver more of these packets per unit time than a low-frequency wave. In summary, the longer the wavelength, the lower the energy to ionise.

The velocity of a wave is directly proportional to the frequency of that wave.

c = f * lambda

Where,

c = velocity of the wave

f = frequency of the wave = 1/time

Lambda = wavelength.

From the above expression, the longer the wavelength, lambda the shorter the frequency.

Examples of waves with longer wavelengths are, micro and radio waves, while radiations with shorter wavelengths like gamma rays.
