A) 1 cal

B) 80 cal

C) 540 cal

Explanation:

A)

The amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of a certain mass of a substance is given by

Q=mC\Delta T

where

m is the mass of the substance

C is the specific heat capacity

\Delta T is the change in temperature

In this problem:

m = 1 g is the mass of water

C=1 cal/g^{\circ}C is  the specific heat capacity of water

\Delta T=1^{\circ}C is the change in temperature

So, the heat needed is

Q=(1)(1)(1)=1 cal

B)

For a solid substance at its melting point, the amount of heat needed to melt completely the substance is given by

Q=m\lambda_f

where

m is the mass of the substance

\lambda_f is the specific latent heat of fusion of the substance

In this problem:

- The ice is already at melting point, 0 °C

- Mass of the ice: m=1g

- Specific latent heat of fusion of ice: \lambda_f=80 cal/g

So, the heat needed is

Q=(1)(80)=80 cal

C)

For a liquid substance at its boiling point, the amount of heat needed to boil completely the substance is given by

Q=m\lambda_v

where

m is the mass of the substance

\lambda_v is the specific latent heat of vaporization of the substance

In this problem:

- The water is already at boiling point, 100 °C

- Mass of the water: m=1g

- Specific latent heat of vaporization of water: \lambda_v=540 cal/g

So, the heat needed is

Q=(1)(540)=540 cal

En un m.A.S. La amplitud tiene un valor de 10 centimetros y el periodo es de 2 segundos calcular el valor de la velocidad de 0.8
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

v1=18.46m/s

v2=29.8cm/s

Explanation:

We know that

A=10cm\\T=2s

the equation of the motion is

x=Acos(\omega t)\\

we can calculate w by using

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{2}=\pi

Hence, we have that

x=10cm*cos(\pi t)\\

the speed will be

v=-\omega*Asin(\omega t)\\|v(0.8)|=|\pi*10cm*sin(\pi *0.8)|=18.46\frac{cm}{s}\\|v(1.4)|=|\pi*10cm*sin(\pi *1.4)|=29.8\frac{cm}{s}

hope this helps!

Two rocks of different masses are rolling down a hill at the same speed. Which rock (small one or big one) would have more kinet
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Kinetic energy of bigger rock will be more than that of smaller one.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of the rock is given by,

Kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2}

As velocity of both the rocks are same. Thus, kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of the rock

Kinetic energy ∝ mass

So, For greater mass kinetic energy will be greater and for smaller mass kinetic energy will be smaller.

Hence, Kinetic energy of bigger rock will be more than that of smaller one.

What region of the spectrum best corresponds to light with a wavelength equal to:_____ a. The diameter of a hydrogen atomb. The
zavuch27 [327]

We will make the comparison between each of the sizes against the known wavelengths.

In the case of the <em>hydrogen atom</em>, we know that this is equivalent to 10^{-10} m on average, which corresponds to the wavelength corresponding to X-rays.

In the case of the <em>Virus</em> we know that it is oscillating in a size of 30nm to 200 nm, so the size of the virus is equivalent to the range of the wavelength of an ultraviolet ray.

In the case of <em>height</em>, it fluctuates in a person around 10 ^ 0 to 10 ^ 1 m, which falls to the wavelength of a radio wave.

Light enter the container of the liquid at the angle 37° to the normal refraction beam makes an angle of 27° with the normal. Ca
Sliva [168]

Answer: 1.33

Explanation:

We would apply Snell's law which is expressed as

niSinθi = nrSinθr

where

θi = angle of incidence

θr = angle of refraction

ni = index of refraction of the incident medium(air)

nr = index of refraction of the refractive medium(liquid in this case)

From the information given,

ni = 1(index for air)

θi = 37

θr = 27

By substituting these values into the formula, we have

1 * sin37 = nr * sin27

nr = sin37/sin27

nr = 1.33

The index of the liquid is 1.33
