If the specific heat of water is 1.0 calorie/gram°C, how many calories are required to raise 500 grams of water 10.0°C?

1 answer:

6 0

The amount of heat that is required to raise the temperature of a system is calculated by the expression:

Heat required = m Cp ΔT
Heat required = 500 g (1.0 calorie/gram °C) (10.0 <span>°C)
Heat required = 5000 calorie

The correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option.</span>

Starting from a location with position vector 1,=−17.5 m and 1,=23.1 m , a rabbit hops around for 10.7 seconds with average velo

Andru [333]

By definition of average velocity,

$\vec v_{\rm ave} = \dfrac{\Delta \vec r}{\Delta t} = \dfrac{(x_2-x_1)\,\vec\imath + (y_2-y_1)\,\vec\jmath}{10.7\,\mathrm s}$

$\vec v_{\rm ave} = (-2.25\,\vec\imath + 1.79\,\vec\jmath)\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

and $x_1=-17.5\,\mathrm m$ and $y_1=23.1\,\mathrm m$ , then

$-2.25\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s} = \dfrac{x_2 - (-17.5\,\mathrm m)}{10.7\,\mathrm s} \\\\ 1.79\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s} = \dfrac{y_2 - 23.1\,\mathrm m}{10.7\,\mathrm s}$

Solve for $x_2$ and $y_2$ :

$x_2 = 17.5\,\mathrm m + \left(-2.25\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(10.7\,\mathrm s) \approx \boxed{-6.58\,\mathrm m}$

$y_2 = 23.1\,\mathrm m + \left(1.79\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(10.7\,\mathrm s) \approx \boxed{42.3\,\mathrm m}$

If the seafloor is spreading why isn't earth getting bigger?

tatyana61 [14]

Well there are areas of the seafloor that are spreading due to tectonic plates moving apart but there are also places where these plates meet and one slides under the other (subduction zones) as a result, the earth is not getting bigger since these two actions cancel each other out.<span>

A steer must eat at least 100 pounds of grain to gain less than 10 pounds of muscle tissue. This illustrates Group of answer cho

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

the second law of thermodynamics. that some energy is destroyed in every energy conversion.

Explanation:

According to the second law of thermodynamics, energy conversion is never 100% efficient. Some energy is always lost as it is being converted from one form to the other.

The fact that a steer must eat at least 100 pounds of grain to gain less than 10 pounds of muscle tissue shows that not all the energy taken up from the grain is channelled towards building the muscle tissue. Some energy from the grains are lost on the way according to the second law of thermodynamics.
