Internal energy.

Explanation:

In any substance/object, the particles inside it (atoms/molecules) constantly move in random directions and with random speeds (this motion is called Brownian motion). As a result, the particles have some kinetic energy (which is proportional to the temperature of the substance). Moreover, the particles interact with each other due to the presence of electrostatic intermolecular forces, and as a result, the particles also have some potential energy.

The sum of the kinetic energies and potential energies of the particles in a substance is called internal energy.

Internal energy would be the answer because it says the sum of energies "IN" the particles.

What is the heat capacity of an object at 25.5∘C that absorbs 45 kJ of heat and is heated to 28.2∘C?
sergey [27]

Answer:

16.6 kJ/°C

Explanation:

given,

Amount of heat absorbed = 45 kJ

initial temperature, T₁ = 25.5°C

final temperature, T₂ = 28.2°C

change in temperature = T₂ - T₁

                                       = 28.2 - 25.5  = 2.7° C

Heat\ capacity = \dfrac{Heat\ absorbed}{\Delta T}

Heat\ capacity = \dfrac{45\ kJ}{2.7}

Heat\ capacity = 16.6\ kJ/^0C

Heat capacity of the object is equal to 16.6 kJ/°C

If a person weighs 1000 N on the surface of the Earth, how much will they weigh on the surface of the Moon? What “g” value shoul
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Hence the weight of the person on the moon is 162.4, and the value of g used is 1.624 m/s²

Explanation:

from the question,

W = mg........................ Equation 1

Where W = weight of the man on Earth, m = mass of the man, g = acceleartion due to gravity of the man

make m the subject of the equation

m = W/g.............. Equation 2

Given: W = 1000 N,

Constant: g = 10 m/s²

Therefore,

m = 1000/10

m = 100 kg

Weight on the moon

W' = mg'

W' = 100(1.624)

W' = 162.4 N.

Hence the weight of tthe person on the moon is 162.4, and the value of g used is 1.624 m/s²

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: 0.36 meter per second square

Explanation from hooke's law f = ke

from motion, F=ma

Ma=me

Where a= ?

K=300

e=0.6

M=500kg

500×a =300×0.6

a = 180÷500

a = 0.36 meter per second square
