You are walking on a beach and find a mystery piece of metal. You take it back to your lab and measure its mass to be 0.5 kg. In
1 answer:
D) Silver
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of metal = 0.5kg
temperature change = 1K
Quantity of heat = 115J
Unknown;
Identity of the metal = ?
Solution:
We first find the specific heat of the unknown metal and compare with the table of specific heat of metals.
C =
C = = 230JKg⁻¹K⁻¹
Comparing this value with the table shows that the metal is silver.

To solve this problem we will apply the theorem given in the conservation of energy, by which we have that it is conserved and that in terms of potential and kinetic energy, in their initial moment they must be equal to the final potential and kinetic energy. This is,
Replacing the 5100MJ for satellite as initial potential energy, 4200MJ for initial kinetic energy and 5700MJ for final potential energy we have that
Therefore the final kinetic energy is 3600MJ
Answer:
D. Frozen water is less dense than liquid water.
Explanation:
Titanic sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the year 1912. There were more than 2000 passengers on board from which about 1500 died.
Frozen water that is ice has less density than liquid water. The density of ice is and the density of the water is
.
Due to this very slight difference in density, ice floats on water. Titanic, on the night of April 14, 1912, crashed into an iceberg around midnight which caused opening of 5 of its watertight compartments. The water filled into the ship and it eventually sank in.
