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.

A sample of a diatomic ideal gas has pressure P and volume V. When the gas is warmed, its pressure triples and its volume double
Andreyy89

Answer:

Amount of  Energy transferred =8.5PV

Explanation:

Given:

Initial volume=V

Initial pressure=P

Final volume=2V

Final pressure=3P

Now w know that the Energy transferred in constant pressure pressure is given by

E_1=nc_pdT\\\\E_1=n\times\dfrac{7R}{2}dT\\E_1=3.5(nRdT)\\E_1=3.5(V(2P-P))\\E_1=3.5PV

Now the Energy transferred in constant volume process is given by

E_2=nc_vdT\\\\E_2=n\times\dfrac{5R}{2}dT\\E_1=2.5(nRdT)\\E_1=2.5(V(3V-V))\\E_1=5PV

The total Energy transferred is given by

E_{total}=E_1+E_2\\E{total}=3.5PV+5PV\\=8.5PV

1)what is the definition of moment of inertia?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Moment of inertia is the inertia of a rotating body with respect to its rotation. So basically it's the object's resistance to a rotational acceleration. This relates to Newton's first law! What does that exactly mean? Let's check out the explanation.

One formula that it is written in is I= mrx^{2}

Explanation:

As Bill Nye says, "Inertia is a property of matter. Objects that are not moving don't move unless they get pushed or pulled. Moving objects keep moving unless they get pushed or pulled. This feature of objects and materials is what we call inertia."

I would check out Dan Fullerton's concept

What is the acceleration that earth experiences due to your gravitational pull?
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The acceleration that earth experiences due to  gravitational pull is = 9.81  \frac{m}{s^{2} }.

Explanation:

The acceleration that earth experiences due to  gravitational pull is called the acceleration due to gravity. its value is 9.81 and its unit is \frac{m}{s^{2} }.

When the object move upwards than in that case the earth gravitational force pulls down the body.

The formula of force due to gravity on the body is given as

F = mg

where g = acceleration due to gravity.

Due to this acceleration the body falls upon the surface of the earth.

Suppose a 1.2 m antenna is installed on top of a building that is 225 m tall,
vazorg [7]

Answer: 226.2 m

Explanation:

If we want to find the new total height H of the building, we have to add to its initial height h_{B}=225m the height of the antenna h_{A}=1.2m, as follows:

H=h_{B}+h_{A}

H=225m+1.2m

Then:

H=226.2m This is the new total height of the building.
