A calorimeter directly measures changes in temperature in order to calculate specific heat.
Calorimeter is an object used for calorimetry, or the process of measuring the heat of chemical reactions or physical changes as well as heat capacity.

Hope this help

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

Q=mC_s \Delta T

where Q is the amount of energy, m is the mass of the substance, Cs is the specific heat of the substance and \Delta T 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.

half life worksheet answer key 3. What percent of a sample As-81 remains un-decayed after 43.2 seconds
Ivahew [28]

The final mass after decay can be obtained by using under given relation:

half life period of As-81 = 33 seconds

mf = mi x (1/2^n)

= 100 x ( 1/2^(43.2/33))

= 40.4 %

Which event in a solar cell uses the photoelectric effect?
musickatia [10]

Answer:

Light shone on metal expulses electrons from its surface. This phenomenon is the photoelectric effect, and the electrons are called photoelectrons. Experiments indicate that by increasing light frequency, the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons increases, and by intensifying the light, the current increases

Arrange the substances in the table from the MOST to the LEAST ordered particle arrangement es ) A) wood, water, neon gas B) woo
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

A) wood, water, neon gas

Explanation:

Matter, which constitutes every known substances is said to exists in three states namely: gaseous, solid and liquid. Each state of matter contain particles that make up their structure.

- Solids have well arranged particles that are tightly packed together to give it its solid shape. Example is wood

- Liquids have particles that are loosely packed together, hence, can still move about. Example is water

- Gases have particles that are not packed together, hence, their ability to roam freely. Example is neon gas

Based on this, the order of MOST to LEAST ordered particle arrangement is solid - liquid- gas i.e. wood - water - neon gas.

A concave spherical mirror has a radius of curvature of magnitude 20.0 cm. (a) Find the location of the image for object distanc
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

The radius of curvature of the mirror R = 20 cm

then the focal length f = R/2 = 10 cm

(a) From mirror formula

 1/f = 1/di + /1do

then the image distance

    di = fd_o / d_o - f

  = (10)(40) / 40-10

 = 30.76 cm

since the image distance is positive so the image is real

ii) when the object distance d_0=20 cm

 di = 10×20/ 20-10

= 20

Hence, the image must be  real

iii)when the object distance d_0 = 10

di = 10×10 / 10-10 =  ∞ (infinite)

the image will be formed at ∞

here also image will be real but diminished.
