The amount of energy needed to increase the temperature of a substance by \Delta T is given by:
Q=m C_s \Delta T
where
m is the mass of the substance
Cs is the specific heat capacity of the substance
\Delta T is the increase in temperature

In our problem, m=50.0 g, C_s = 4.18 J/g ^{\circ}C (specific heat capacity of water) and \Delta T=15.0 ^{\circ}C, therefore the amount of energy needed is
Q=mC_s \Delta T=(50.0 g)(4.18 J/g^{\circ}C)(15.0^{\circ}C)=3135 J

A wave with a frequency of 14Hz has a wavelength of 3 meters. At what speed will this wave travel​
topjm [15]

Answer:

42 m/s

Explanation:

by definition of the velocity(speed) of a wave,

The velocity of light, v, is the product of its wavelength, λ , and its frequency, f.

V= fλ

frequency - number of occurances in a unit time

(check the graph)

velocity=frequency*wave.length\\=14Hz*3m\\=42 ms^{-1}

An object is dropped from a​ tower, 400 ft above the ground. The​ object's height above ground x seconds after the fall is ​s(x)
pav-90 [236]

1) 5 s

The vertical position of the object is given by

y(t) = h - \frac{1}{2}gt^2 =  400 - 16 t^2

where

h=400 ft represents the initial height

g = 32 ft/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

We want to find the time t at which the object reaches the ground, so the time t at which

y(t) = 0

By substituting this into the equation, we find

0 = 400 - 16t^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{400}{16}}=5 s

2) 160 ft/s

The object is released from rest, so the initial velocity is zero

u = 0

The final vertical velocity can be found by using

v^2 - u^2 = 2ah

where

v is the final velocity

a = 32 ft/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h = 400 ft is the vertical distance covered

Solving for v, we find

v=\sqrt{u^2 +2ay}=\sqrt{2(32 ft/s)(400 ft)}=160 ft/s

Differences of structuralism and functionalism
jolli1 [7]

<span>Structuralism </span>is known to be a part of experimental psychology.

<span>Structuralism </span>mainly focuses on human mind and its basic elements are identified and analyzed through introspection.


Functionalism was introduced as a counter argument to structuralism.

<span>Functionalism </span>characteristically pays attention to more objective aspects of consciousness and highlights the necessity of analyzing the mind and behavior on the basis of their function.
