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

What mass will accelerate at 3 m/s² when a net force of 150 N acts on it?
vodomira [7]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf m = 50\ kg}

Explanation:

<h3><u>Given data:</u></h3>

Acceleration = a = 3 m/s²

Force = F = 150 N

<h3><u>Required:</u></h3>

Mass = m = ?

<h3><u>Formula:</u></h3>

F = ma

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Put the givens in the formula

150 = m (3)

Divide 3 to both sides

150/3 = m

50 kg = m

m = 50 kg

\rule[225]{225}{2}

A clarinet sounds as a closed pipe. if a clarinet sounds a note with a pitch of 375 hz, what are the frequencies of the lowest t
mote1985 [20]
So mathematical harmonics are based around a divergent set of fractions. Sigma(1/n)
with the 1st harmonic being... well 1, or 1 full wavelength.The second harmonic is exactly 1/2 the wavelength of the 1st with the third being 1/3 the wavelength. As Wavelengths go down, frequencies go up in a perfect ratio.

Second Harmonic has double the Frequency of the 1st or base note. Third Harmonic is triple and so on.

So the Harmonic set of 375 is.
1. 375
2. 375×2=750
3. 375×3= 1125

etc (: I hope this helps.
