<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
<em>Electrons </em>
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- <em><u>Thomson contributed to the model of an atom by discovery of </u></em><em><u>electrons </u></em><em><u>and thus proving the existence of sub-atomic particles in an atom. </u></em>
- <u><em>Thomson used cathode ray tube, and demonstrated that cathode rays were negatively charged.</em></u> According to his model normally known as the plum pudding in which he stated that an atom is composed of electrons as subatomic particles that are surrounded by positive charges to balance the electrons.
Answer;
Amount of time the two substances are in contact
Area in contact between the two substances
Specific heat of the material that makes up the substances
Explanation;
The change in temperature of a substance is caused by heat energy. The change in temperature will depend on factors such as mass of the substance, the type of material it is made from, the time taken , specific heat of the material that makes the substance, and also the area of contact.
The amount of time the two substances are in contact affect the change in temperature such that if the two bodies are in contact for a longer time then a bigger change in temperature will be observed.
Specific heat capacity also determines the change in temperature that will be observed, such that a substance with a bigger specific heat capacity will record a small change in temperature.
Answer: The correct answer is option (A).
Explanation
Ampacity is defined as the maximum amount of the current carried by the conductor continuously without exceeding its temperature rating.
The ampacity of the wire of the heater is 30 A .And this means that wire is capable of conducting current of maximum amount of 30 Ampere through it without exceeding its temperature rating.
Hence, the correct answer is option is (A).
Answer:
The specific heat for the metal is 0.466 J/g°C.
Explanation:
Given,
Q = 1120 Joules
mass = 12 grams
T₁ = 100°C
T₂ = 300°C
The specific heat for the metal can be calculated by using the formula
Q = (mass) (ΔT) (Cp)
ΔT = T₂ - T₁ = 300°C - 100°C = 200°C
Substituting values,
1120 = (12)(200)(Cp)
Cp = 0.466 J/g°C.
Therefore, specific heat of the metal is 0.466 J/g°C.
