Define heat capacity of a substance:
- The heat capacity of a substance can be defined as the amount of heat required to change its temperature by one degree.
Write the S.I unit of heat capacity:
-,-
The answer is going be desert.
Vf = 0 + 3.5•8.7
= 30.45 m/s
We know the equation
weight = mass × gravity
To work out the weight on the moon, we will need its mass, and the gravitational field strength of the moon.
Remember that your weight can change, but mass stays constant.
So using the information given about the earth weight, we can find the mass by substituting 100N for weight, and we know the gravity on earth is 10Nm*2 (Use the gravitational field strength provided by your school, I am assuming yours in 10Nm*2)
Therefore,
100N = mass × 10
mass= 100N/10
mass= 10 kg
Now, all we need are the moon's gravitational field strength and to apply this to the equation
weight = 10kg × (gravity on moon)
Answer:
Explanation:
Comment
You could calculate it out by assuming the same starting temperature for each substance. (You have to assume that the substances do start at the same temperature anyway).
That's like shooting 12 with 2 dice. It can be done, but aiming for a more common number is a better idea.
Same with this question.
You should just develop a rule. The rule will look like this
The greater the heat capacity the (higher or lower) the change in temperature.
The greater the heat capacity the lower the change in temperature
That's not your question. You want to know which substance will have the greatest temperature change given their heat capacities.
Answer
lead. It has the smallest heat capacity and therefore it's temperature change will be the greatest.
