Answer:

initial and final temperatures of both the water and metal, mass of the metal, and mass of the water

Explanation:

Heat lost by the metal, Q = mc(t_{2} - t_{1})

Heat gained by the water in the calorimeter, Q_{w} = m_{w}c_{w}(t_{2w} - t_{1w})

For energy to be conserved in the system, the heat lost by the metal will equal the heat gain by the water in the calorimeter.

        mc(t_{2} - t_{1}) = m_{w}c_{w}(t_{2w} - t_{1w})

Where,

m is the mass of the metal

c is specific heat capacity of the metal

t₂ is the final temperature of the metal

t₁ is the initial temperature of the metal

m_{w} is the mass of the water

c_{w} is specific heat capacity of water

t_{2w} is the final temperature of water

t_{1w} is the initial temperature of water

From the question given, specific heat capacity of the water is known, the quantities to be measured are;

Initial and final temperatures of both the water and metal,

Mass of the metal, and mass of the water

How does a large star create the elements? at what element does the star stop making new elements?
Dahasolnce [82]
They are fused in the core of the star due to great pressures and temperatures.  They are made all the way through iron.  At that point the star dies.  If it is a really large star it will become a supernova when it dies, creating all of the elements beyond iron as well, but only in its death.  No star can create anything beyond iron in its life cycle

A balloon is ascending at 12.4m/s at a height of 81.3m above the ground when a package is dropped. a) How long did it take to re
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

3secs

Explanation:

Given the following parameters

height H= 81.3m

Velocity v = 12.4m/s

Required

Time it take to reach the ground

Using the equation of motion

H = ut+1/2gt²

81.3 = 12.4t + 1/2(9.8)t²

81.3 = 12.4t + 4.9t²

4.9t² + 12.4t - 81.3 = 0

Using the general formula to find t

t = -12.4±√12.4²-4(4.9)(-81.3)/2(4.9)

t = -12.4±√153.76+1593.48/2(4.9)

t = -12.4±√1747.24/9.8

t = -12.4+41.8/9.8

t = 29.4/9.8

t = 3secs

Hence it took 3secs to reach the ground

Explain the relationship between temperature, energy, and motion of particles in an object.
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Explanation:

Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of a body.

Energy is the ability to do work by a body. They are of two forms, potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is due to the position of a body whereas kinetic energy is due to the motion of a body.

Motion is the change in position of a body with time.

Temperature, energy and motion are all related.

Thermal energy is a form of kinetic energy which is concerned about the motion particles. This form of energy results from heat changes in a body which causes temperature differences.

When a body is heat and changes temperature, the particles begins to vibrate as they gain, thermal energy, a form of kinetic energy. At a point, the particles will break lose and set in motion.
