Answer:

<em>8hours 45minutes</em>

Explanation:

Amount of heat energy used up by the electric substance = heat gained by the water.

Amount of heat energy used up by the electric substance = Power * Time

heat gained by the water. = mcΔt

m is the mass of the water in kg

c is the specific heat capacity

Δt is the change in temperature

Given parameters

Power = 5kW = 5000W

mass of water m = 500kg

c = 4200J/kgC

Δt = 100°C - 25°C = 75°C

Required

Time taken

Substituting the given parameters into the formula

Pt = mcΔt

5000t = 500*4200*75

5000t = 157,500,000

Divide both sides by 5000

t =  157,500,000/5000

t = 31,500 secs

t = (31,500/3600)hrs

t = 8.75hours

t = 8hours 45minutes

<em>Hence it takes 8hours 45minutes to heat 500 kg of water in the tank from 25c to 100c</em>

Will pushing on a car always change the cars mechanical energy?what must happen for the cars kinetic energy to increase?
riadik2000 [5.3K]
1) Pushing on a car will not always change the car's mechanical energy, but it does change yours since your physically using most of your energy to push the car.
 
2) In order for a cars kinetic energy to increase, the car has to be in motion when it is going down a hill, because when you go down hills and objects like that; you tend to increase in kinetic energy.

A geologic event causes changes to the physical makeup of a particular place and occurs _____.
babymother [125]

A geologic event causes changes to the physical makeup of a particular place and occurs slowly.

Geological events are what causes numerous changes and phenomena on the Earth's surface. Examples of these events include cliff erosion, volcanic eruption, or sedimentation at a mouth of a river.

Geological processes are extremely slow. However, because of the immense lengths of time involved, huge physical changes do occur - mountains are created and destroyed, continents form, break up and move over the surface of the Earth, coastlines change and rivers and glaciers erode huge valleys.

Geological events are both classified as internal and external. This means that these events occur both in the Earth's surface and interior.
