The energy required to heat a substance is related by the formula:
Q = mCpΔT ; where Q is the energy, m is the mass of the substance, Cp is the specific heat capacity and ΔT is the change in temperature.
2000 = (4)(Cp)(5)
Cp = 100 Joules / g °C

1. Why should you use scientific notation when writing big numbers?
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

It helps the answer look clean. It also makes the work easier to work with.

Explanation:

Instead of writing a lot of zeros, all you have to do is add exponents to the number to show how much the decimal moved.

When a board with a box on it is slowly tilted to larger and larger angle, common experience shows that the box will at some poi
eimsori [14]

Answer: The force of kinetic friction is smaller than that of static friction, but F_g  remains the same.

Explanation:

The situation is same as when a book is pushed with an increasing force on a table; When the force is low, book doesn't move, until that under a given force starts moving, and then it goes on movement even if the force decreases a bit.

The physical explanation for this, that friction force adopts any value needed to avoid to move the object, till a limit value is achieved, called static friction force, equal to the normal force times the static friction coefficient.

Once in movement, the kinetic friction coefficient replaces the static one , and  in general is lower than the static one, so the force diminishes.

In the case of the box sliding down the board, the force that tries to move the object down the board, is the component of the weight parallel to the board, that can be showed that being equal to the weight times the sinus of the angle of the board with the horizontal, as follows:

F_g = m g sin θ

When θ increases, F_g does the same, so friction force always has the same magnitude than F_g (but opposite direction) so the box doesn't move, till that θ takes a value that produces a F_g equal to static friction force.

Beyond this limit angle, F_g (remaining the same for a given angle) is greater than the kinetic friction force, and the box slides.

In the limit, when θ=90º, sin θ =1⇒ F_g = mg, so the object is in free fall.

What from the following list of statements about vectors is definitely true? (section 3.3) The magnitude of a vector can be smal
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

"Magnitude of a vector can be zero only if all components of a vector are zero."

Explanation:

"The magnitude of a vector can be smaller than length of one of its components."

Wrong, the magnitude of a vector is at least equal to the length of a component. This is because of the Pythagoras theorem. It can never be smaller.

"Magnitude of a vector is positive if it is directed in +x and negative if is is directed in -X direction."

False. Magnitude of a vector is always positive.

"Magnitude of a vector can be zero if only one of components is zero."

Wrong. For the magnitude of a vector to be zero, all components must be zero.

"If vector A has bigger component along x direction than vector B, it immediately means, the vector A has bigger magnitude than vector B."

Wrong. The magnitude of a vector depends on all components, not only the X component.

"Magnitude of a vector can be zero only if all components of a vector are zero."

True.

A body oscillates with simple harmonic motion along the x-axis. Its displacement varies with time according to the equation x =
abruzzese [7]
I'll tell you how I look at this, although I may be missing something important.

Position = x(t) = 0.5 sin(pt + p/3)

Speed = position' = x'(t) = 0.5 p cos(pt + p/3)

Acceleration = speed' = position ' ' = x ' '(t) = -0.5 p² sin(pt + p/3)

At (t = 1.0),

x ' '(t) = -0.5 p² sin( 4/3 p )

In order to evaluate this, don't I still have to know what 'p' is ? ?

I don't think it can be evaluated with the information given in the question.
