When driver see the child standing on road his speed is 20 m/s
So here at that instant his reaction time is 0.80 s
He will cover a total distance given by product of speed and time
now after this he will apply brakes with acceleration a = 7 m/s^2
so the distance covered before it stop is given by
so the total distance covered by it
<em>so it will cover a total distance of 44.6 m</em>
The complete sentence is:
A calorimeter directly measures changes in temperature in order to calculate specific heat.
In fact, the amount of energy acquired/released by a substance is directly proportional to its change in temperature due to the equation
where Q is the amount of energy, m is the mass of the substance, Cs is the specific heat of the substance and is the change in temperature. Therefore, by knowing Q, m and by measuring the change in temperature, it is possible to calculate Cs, the specific heat capacity of the substance.
