The specific heat capacity of concrete is 3.0 J/(g^{\circ}C)

Explanation:

When a certain amount of energy Q is supplied/given off to/from a sample of substance with mass m, the temperature of the substance increases/decreases by an amount \Delta T, according to the equation

Q=mC_s \Delta T

where

m is the mass of the substance

C_s is the specific heat capacity of the substance

\Delta T is the change in temperature of the substance

In this problem, we have:

m = 1 kg = 1000 g is the mass of the concrete slab

Q = -12,000 J is the amount of energy lost by the slab

\Delta T = 30-26= -4^{\circ}C is the change in temperature of the slab

Solving the equation for C_s, we find the specific heat capacity of concrete:

C_s = \frac{Q}{m \Delta T}=\frac{-12,000}{(1000)(-4)}=3.0 J/(g^{\circ}C)

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

0.167m/s

Explanation:

According to law of conservation of momentum which States that the sum of momentum of bodies before collision is equal to the sum of the bodies after collision. The bodies move with a common velocity after collision.

Given momentum = Maas × velocity.

Momentum of glider A = 1kg×1m/s

Momentum of glider = 1kgm/s

Momentum of glider B = 5kg × 0m/s

The initial velocity of glider B is zero since it is at rest.

Momentum of glider B = 0kgm/s

Momentum of the bodies after collision = (mA+mB)v where;

mA and mB are the masses of the gliders

v is their common velocity after collision.

Momentum = (1+5)v

Momentum after collision = 6v

According to the law of conservation of momentum;

1kgm/s + 0kgm/s = 6v

1 =6v

V =1/6m/s

Their speed after collision will be 0.167m/s
