Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed²).
A Physicist in the canoe, or on a raft floating downriver next to the canoe, will say that the canoe's kinetic energy is zero.
A Physicist on the riverbank, watching the canoe drift by at 1 m/s, will say that its kinetic energy is 9 Joules.
They're both correct.
Answer: A.The ocean is colder than the land
Explanation:
Based on the information provided in the question, we are informed that Agustin visits Panama City, Florida, during the month of May and that he feels a shore breeze blowing from the ocean onto the beach.
The reason for the shore breeze is simply due to the fact that the ocean is colder than the land. Since the ocean is colder, anyone who goes to the beach will feel the breeze.
Answer:
The specific heat capacity of the zinc metal measured in this experiment is 0.427 J/g.°C
Explanation:
From the experimental data, the water loses heat because its initial temperature is greater than the final temperature of the mixture. On the other hand, the zinc metal gains heat because its initial temperature is less than the final temperature of the mixture
Heat loss by water = Heat gain by zinc metal
m1C1(T1 - T3) = m2C2(T3 - T2)
m1 is mass of water = 55.4 g
C1 is specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J/g.°C
m2 is mass of zinc metal = 23.4 g
C2 is specific heat capacity of zinc metal
T1 is the initial temperature of water = 99.61 °C
T2 is the initial temperature of zinc metal = 21.6 °C
T3 is the final temperature of the mixture = 96.4 °C
55.4×4.2(99.61 - 96.4) = 23.4×C2(96.4 - 21.6)
746.9028 = 1750.32C2
C2 = 746.9028/1750.32 = 0.427 J/g.°C
My guess is A. I'm not 100% positive but i'm pretty sure.
