Temperature is is a measure of how rapidly or slowly molecules move.
Molecules that move slower have lower temperature, and faster moving molecules have higher temperature.
<span>The difference in temperature results in heat, which is transfer of energy.

How does the lever arm change if you decrease the angle of the force?

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The lever arm could decrease or increase depending of the initial angle.

Explanation:

The lever arm d is calculated by:

d = rsin(θ)

where r is the radius and θ the angle between the force and the radius.

So, the increse or decrees of d depends of the sin of the angle θ, if the initial angle is greather than 90° and the angle decrease to an angle closer to 90°, the lever arm will increase but if the initial angle is 90° or lower and the angle decrease, the lever arm will decrease.

Two 1-kg objects, C and D, increase in temperature by the same amount, but the

Ede4ka [16]

The object D is made up of material Lead. The correct option is D.

<h3>What is specific heat?</h3>

The specific heat is the amount of heat required to change the temperature by 1°C. It is denoted by C.

Two 1-kg objects, C and D, increase in temperature by the same amount, but the thermal energy transfer of object C is greater than the thermal energy transfer of object D. The object C has a specific heat of 235 J/kg-K.

Q = m C ΔT

Qc > Qd

The energy transfer is proportional to specific heat.

Specific heat of D must be less. The possible material with specific heat less than the given value is for Lead material.

Thus, the correct option is D.

Solution A has a speciﬁc heat of 2.0 J/g◦C. Solution B has a speciﬁc heat of 3.8 J/g◦C. If equal masses of both solutions start

fgiga [73]

Answer: 2. Solution A attains a higher temperature.

Explanation: Specific heat simply means, that amount of heat which is when supplied to a unit mass of a substance will raise its temperature by 1°C.

In the given situation we have equal masses of two solutions A & B, out of which A has lower specific heat which means that a unit mass of solution A requires lesser energy to raise its temperature by 1°C than the solution B.

Since, the masses of both the solutions are same and equal heat is supplied to both, the proportional condition will follow.

<em>We have a formula for such condition,</em>

$Q=m.c.\Delta T$ .....................................(1)

where:

$\Delta T$ = temperature difference

Q= heat energy

m= mass of the body

c= specific heat of the body

<u>Proving mathematically:</u>

<em>According to the given conditions</em>

we have equal masses of two solutions A & B, i.e. $m_A=m_B$

equal heat is supplied to both the solutions, i.e. $Q_A=Q_B$

specific heat of solution A, $c_{A}=2.0 J.g^{-1} .\degree C^{-1}$

specific heat of solution B, $c_{B}=3.8 J.g^{-1} .\degree C^{-1}$

$\Delta T_A$ & $\Delta T_B$ are the change in temperatures of the respective solutions.

Now, putting the above values

$Q_A=Q_B$

$m_A.c_A. \Delta T_A=m_B.c_B . \Delta T_B\\\\2.0\times \Delta T_A=3.8 \times \Delta T_B\\\\ \Delta T_A=\frac{3.8}{2.0}\times \Delta T_B\\\\\\\frac{\Delta T_{A}}{\Delta T_{B}} = \frac{3.8}{2.0}>1$

Which proves that solution A attains a higher temperature than solution B.
