1 answer:

3 0

Thermal energy can be defined as specific thermodynamic quantities as a part of energy transfer such as heat, which is a form of thermal energy flowing from hotter to colder objects. Temperature is a physical property of an object which specify whether the subject is hot or cold.

Explanation:

Difference between thermal energy, temperature and heat

Thermal Energy

Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of molecules bundled up in the object. This energy is the heat exerted by the object which forms its temperature.

Temperature

In technical terms, temperature is the average kinetic energies measurement of molecules and atoms, present in an object. Simply, we can say, temperature defines how hot or how cold is a substance. Temperature relies on the kinetic energy of particles.

Heat

Transfer of thermal energy from a hotter to colder objects. Heat is different from temperature. Temperature is the mark to define how hot a substance is whereas, heat is the flow of thermal energy.

A man paddles a canoe at 6 km per hour. If he paddles on a river with a current of 6 km per hour, what is the speed of the canoe

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

If the canoe heads upstream the speed is zero. And directly across the river is 8.48 [km/h] towards southeast

Explanation:

When the canoe moves upstream, it is moving in the opposite direction of the normal river current. Since the velocities are vector (magnitude and direction) we can sum each vector:

Vr = velocity of the river = 6[km/h}

Vc = velocity of the canoe = -6 [km/h]

We take the direction of the river as positive, therefore other velocity in the opposite direction will be negative.

Vt = Vr + Vc = 6 - 6 = 0 [km/h]

For the second question, we need to make a sketch of the canoe and we are watching this movement at a high elevation. So let's say that the canoe is located in point 0 where it is located one of the river's borders.

So we are having one movement to the right (x-direction). And the movement of the river to the south ( - y-direction).

Since the velocities are vector we can sum each vector, so using the Pythagoras theorem we have:

$Vt = \sqrt{(6)^{2} +(-6)^{2} } \\Vt=8.48[km/h]$

To calibrate the calorimeter electrically, a constant voltage of 3.6 V is applied and a current of 2.6 A flows for a period of 3

hodyreva [135]

Answer : The correct option is, (c) $3.7\times 10^2J/^oC$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the energy or heat.

Formula used :

$E=V\times I\times t$

where,

E = energy (in joules)

V = voltage (in volt)

I = current (in ampere)

t = time (in seconds)

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$E=(3.6V)\times (2.6A)\times (350s)$

$E=3276J$

Now we have to calculate the heat capacity of the calorimeter.

Formula used :

$C=\frac{E}{\Delta T}=\frac{E}{T_{final}-T_{initial}}$

where,

C = heat capacity of the calorimeter

$T_{initial}$ = initial temperature = $20.3^oC$

$T_{final}$ = final temperature = $29.1^oC$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

$C=\frac{3276J}{(29.1-20.3)^oC}$

$C=372.27J/^oC=3.7\times 10^2J/^oC$

Therefore, the heat capacity of the calorimeter is, $3.7\times 10^2J/^oC$

Atmospheric pressure decreases as altitude increases. in other words, there is more air pushing down on you at sea level, and th

xenn [34]

The expected boiling point of a substance increases with an increasing molar mass of the substance. So I would expect the lighter compounds to boil at lower temperature. Also more polar molecules tend to boil at higher temperature. Pentane is the lightest of all three compounds, so it should boil the soonest. Heptane is a lot heavier than Pentane, but slightly lighter than Heptanol. So it should boil next. Heptanol is the heaviest of all of the molecules and is also quite polar compared to heptane. So it should have the highest of all the boiling points.
