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.

Three-fourths of the area of a rectangular lawn 30 feet wide by 40 feet long is to be enclosed by a rectangular fence. If the en

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

The fence is 5feet less.

Explanation:

We need to determine

The less amount of fence required, if the enclosure has full width and reduced length, compared to full length and reduced width.

Approach & WorkingArea of lawn = 30 × 403/4th of the area of lawn = ¾(30 × 40) = 30 * 30

When full width will be fenced, and reduced length will be fenced.

Width = 30 feet30 * L = 30 * 30Hence, length = 30 feetLength of fence needed = 2(30 + 30) = 120 feet

When full length will be fenced, and reduced width will be fenced

Length = 40 feet40 * W = 30 * 30W = 22.5 feetLength of fence needed = 2(40 + 22.5) = 125 feet

Difference in length of fence needed = 125 – 120 = 5 feet.

The angular speed of the hour hand of a clock, in rad/min, is:___________

lapo4ka [179]

The angular speed is defined as:

<h2> ω= $\frac{2\pi}{T}$ </h2>

where

$T=12*60=720min$

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{720}$

$\omega=4.4**10^{-3} rad/min$

If an object has a mass of 20 grams and a volume of 40 cm3, what is its density in g/cm3?

alexgriva [62]

20/40=0.5 g/cm^3 becuase, mass/volume=density.
