A student is given a red and a blue liquid. The two samples of liquids are heated in identical beakers over identical Bunsen bur

ners. The red liquid shows a dramatically faster increase in temperature. Which of these is the most likely explanation for this? A) The red liquid has a greater mass. B) The blue liquid has a smaller mass. C) The red liquid has a greater specific heat. D) The red liquid has a smaller specific heat.

D. A lower specific heat means that the liquid heats up faster than others.

Answer:  The correct answer is "D"

Explanation:

It is given that a student is given a red and a blue liquid. The two samples of liquids are heated in identical beakers over identical Bunsen burners.

It is observed that the red liquid shows a dramatically faster increase in temperature.

This observation can be explained in terms of specific heat. It is defined as the heat required to raise the temperature.

We know that the specific heat of any liquid is given by :

Where c is the specific heat.

m is the mass of the substance.

Q is the amount of heat.

is the change in temperature.

So, it is clear that the specific heat capacity is inversely proportional to the temperature.

The better explanation for this can be the specific heat of the red liquid is less because it drastically increases in temperature.

If an object accelerates at 40 m/s^2 in four minutes ("careful this is in minutes),
yaroslaw [1]

Change in speed = (acceleration) x (time)

4 minutes = 240 seconds

Change in speed = (40 m/s²) x (240 seconds)

Change in speed = <em>9,600 m/s</em>

What you're actually describing here is a car pulling 4 G's for 4 minutes, and ending up going 21,475 miles per hour.

The driver would definitely NOT get a speeding ticket, because nobody could catch him.

Also, his car would heat up and shoot flames from atmospheric friction.

(He could avoid this with some fancy steering, leave the atmosphere, and end up in low-Earth-orbit.)

Actually, I hope there's nobody in the car.  His experience wouldn't be pretty.

Attempting to move a large rock useing a long lever will the work you do on the lever be greater than the same as or less than t
jolli1 [7]
The work that you do on the lever will be the same as the work done by the lever on the rock. This aligns with the Law of the Conservation of Energy which states that energy can not be created nor destroyed. Since work can be calculated as force applied over a distance, you will apply a smaller force but your distance will be longer. The lever will apply a greater force over a shorter distance in proportion to yours. Therefore, the same amount of work is done on both sides of the lever.
