Sometimes scientists make a mistake, or ___, and need to do the experiment again?

A 2kg block of which material would require 450 joules of thermal energy to increase its temperature by 1 degree Celsius?

12345 [234]

The block is made of A) Tin, as its specific heat capacity is $0.225 J/(g^{\circ}C)$

Explanation:

When an amount of energy Q is supplied to a sample of material of mass m, the temperature of the material increases by $\Delta T$ , according to the following equation :

$Q=mC_s \Delta T$

where $C_s$ is the specific heat capacity of the material.

In this problem, we have:

m = 2 kg = 2000 g is the mass of the unknown material

$Q = 450 J$ is the amount of energy supplied to the block

$\Delta T = 1^{\circ}C$ is the change in temperature of the material

Solving the equation for $C_s$ , we can find the specific heat capacity of the unknown sample:

$C_s = \frac{Q}{m \Delta T}=\frac{450}{(2000)(1)}=0.225 J/(g^{\circ}C)$

And by comparing with tabular values, we can find that this value is approximately the specific heat capacity of tin.

If light moves at a speed of 299,792,458 m/s, how long will it take light to move a distance of 1,000 km

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

change 1000km into Metre

1000km=1000000 M

speed= distance/time

time=distance/speed

time=1000000/299792458

time= 0.0033second

A 1 530-kg automobile has a wheel base (the distance between the axles) of 2.70 m. The automobile's center of mass is on the cen

NeTakaya

Answer:

Force on front axle = 6392.85 N

Force on rear axle = 8616.45 N

Explanation:

As we know that the weight of the car is balanced by the normal force on the front wheel and rear wheels

Now we know that

$F_1 + F_2 = W$

$F_1 + F_2 = (1530\times 9.81)$

$F_1 + F_2 = 15009.3 N$

now we know that distance between the axis is 2.70 m and centre of mass is 1.15 m behind front axle

so we can write torque balance about its center of mass

$F_1(1.15) = F_2(2.70 - 1.15)$

$F_1 = 1.35 F_2$

now from above equation

$F_2 + 1.35F_2 = 15009.3$

now we have

$F_2 = 6392.85 N$

now the other force is given as

$F_1 = 8616.45 N$

Which of the following describes a closed conducting loop through which an electrical current can flow?

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

I think the correct answer is the second option. A circuit describes a closed conducting loop through which an electrical current can flow. It is a path that an electrical current could flow. A circuit could be a closed one or an open circuit. A closed circuit would be a circuit where the current could flow continuously. An open circuit would be a type of circuit where the flow current would only go once and stopped at a particular point since the current has nowhere to go. For a circuit to work, an electric supply should be available to supply the electric current.
