Answer:

44^{\circ}C

Explanation:

When heat energy is supplied to a substance, its temperature increases according to the equation:

Q=mC\Delta T

where

Q is the energy supplied

m is the mass of the substance

C is the specific heat capacity

\Delta T is the increase in temperature

For the block of copper in this problem:

m = 5 kg

C = 385 J/kg°C

Q = 46,200 J

Therefore, the increase in temperature is

\Delta T=\frac{Q}{mC}=\frac{46,200}{(5)(385)}=24^{\circ}C

And since the initial temperature is 20°C, the final temperature will be

T_f=20^{\circ}C+\Delta T=44^{\circ}C

If you were in a spaceship watching a ball hover at rest (inside the spaceship) in mid-air, and the spaceship suddenly began rap
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

It will still hover until the spaceship "hits" or exerts a force on it.

Explanation:

Remember, if there is no net force, there is no acceleration or movement.

In this case, our ball is hovering in the spaceship, and in space, we can assume there is no F_g, and we can assume there is no F_N, nor no forces acting against it.

So, the ball would not move.

However, once the spaceship starts accelerating, the ball would still hover until the spaceship exerts a force on it.

This is because of the same thing as explained above, no forces acting on it, therefore, no acceleration.

Think about it this way.

Imagine you jumped up, then someone threw a ball at you. Now let's imagine you can't move until you hit the floor, meaning that in an ideal situation only  F_g is acting on you. Now again, let's imagine time slows really down for you, but not the ball. Before the ball comes and hits you, you are "hovering" like a ball. But after the ball hits you, you move a little because the ball exerted a force on you.

If you did not understand what I meant above, just forget about it, and think about the fact that if there is a Net force (all the force values added up), then there is acceleration and movement.

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Newtons first law states that if an object is at rest it will stay at rest only if an unbalanced force acts on it. As well as if an object is in motion it will stay in motion unless an unbalanced force acts on it.

Ps- The object will stay moving in the same speed and direction.
