Answer:

The substance has a specific heat of 1.176 J/g°C

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

Temperature change = 34 °C

Mass of the substance = 20 kg = 20000 grams

The substance gained 800 kJ of heat during this temperature change

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate the specific heat

q = m*c*ΔT

⇒ with q = heat gained = 800 kJ = 800000 J

⇒ with m = the mass of the substance = 20 kg = 20000 grams

⇒ with c = the specific heat of the substance = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with ΔT = the change of temperature = T2 -T1 = 48° - 14 ° = 34°

c = q/(m*ΔT)

c = 800000 / (20000 * 34)

c = 1.176 J/g°C

The substance has a specific heat of 1.176 J/g°C

A lead atom has a mass of 3.14 x 10 to the negative 22nd g.How
frozen [14]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

       Mass of a lead atom = 3.14 \times 10^{-22}

       Volume = 2.00 cm^{3}

        Density = 11.3 g/cm^{3}

As it is mentioned that 1 cubic centimeter contains 11.3 grams of lead.

So, in 2 cubic centimeter there will be 2 \times 11.3 g = 22.6 g of lead atoms.

One lead atom has a mass of 3.14 \times 10^{-22}. Therefore, number of atoms present in 22.6 g of lead will be as follows.

                \frac{22.6 g}{3.14 \times 10^{-22}}

                  = 7.197 \times 10^{22} atoms

Thus, we can conclude that there are 7.197 \times 10^{22} atoms of lead are present.

Kepler and Newton studied the movement of planets. Kepler studied the speed of the planets while Newton studied the forces that
nasty-shy [4]
Kepler did not study the speed of the planets, rather, he studied how the planets move in the solar system. He proposed three laws. As a summary, he described that the planets move around the sun in the shape of an ellipse (orbit), and the Sun being one of the foci. Then, he proposed the period for the planet to complete one revolution around the Sun. 

On the other hand, Newton studied the forces acting on the planet (or any object in space) that explain how the planets move around the solar system as described by Kepler. Also, Kepler's observations only apply to planets and not the moons or satellites. Thus, Kepler only made laws from observations, while Newton based it from underlying principles that led him to mathematical equations such as the law of universal gravitation.
