If two different substances, with the same mass (1 gram) absorb the same amount of energy, which of the following can
1 answer:
Answer:
The temperature of the substance with the lower specific heat will increase more than the one with a higher specific heat
Explanation:
The increase of temperature of a substance is given by:
where
Q is the amount of heat absorbed by the substance
m is the mass of the substance
is the specific heat capacity of the substance
In this problem, we have two substances with same mass m, that absorb the same amount of heat Q. We see from the formula that the increase in temperature is inversely proportional to the specific heat: therefore, the substance with lower specific heat will have a greater increase in temperature than the substance with higher specific heat.

In a series circuit the total current is the same throughout resistors and so:
The voltage is distributed throughout the resistors and so:
and the total resistance can be calculated by adding up the resistors resistance:
First thing is to calculate the total resistance and so:
And by Omh's law V=IR we have:
And so the total current of the circuit is 1.2 amps i.e. 1.2 A.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that:
The air resistance and friction = 700 N
The gravity caused force = 716 × 9.8 = 7016.8
Total force = (7016.8 + 700) N
Total force = 7716.8 N
∴
