The amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a 1-kilogram substance by 1°C is known as the specific heat of the substance.

the formula for specific heat of a substance is given as

c = Q/(m ΔT)

where Q = Heat required to change the temperature by 1°C

m = mass of the substance

ΔT = change in temperature.

the units of specific heat is given as Joules/(kilogram °C)

Specific heat.

"Different substances gain heat energy at different rates. A 1-kilogram substance's specific heat is a measure of how much heat must be added to it in order for its temperature to increase by 1°C."

Why cant your rocket could never reach the speed of light?
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

The length of the object would shrink to zero which is not possible.

Explanation:

A rocket or any body cannot reach the speed of light because according to theory of relativity the and the Lorentz factor the length of the object would shrink to zero and the time dilation for that body would be infinite.

The Lorentz factor is given as:

\gamma=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }

where:

v = speed of the moving object

c = speed of light

Which two characteristics increase the strength of the gravitational force
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

The answer is A and C.

Explanation:

Only two factors are relevant when dealing with the gravitational force between two objects - their mass and their distance apart from one another. Gravity's force is proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

A circus act involves a trapeze artist and a baby elephant. They are going to balance on a teeter-totter that is 10 meters long
elena-s [515]

Answer:

Explanation:

Balance point will be achieved as soon as the weight of the baby elephant creates torque equal to torque created by weight of woman about the pivot. torque by weight of woman

weight x distance from pivot

= 500x 5

= 2500 Nm

torque by weight of baby woman , d be distance of baby elephant from pivot at the time of balance

= 2500x d

for equilibrium

2500 d = 2500

d = 1 m

So elephant will have to walk up to 1 m close to pivot or middle point.
