E the temperature of a substance. Water has a very high specific heat. That means it needs to absorb a lot of energy before its temperature changes. Sand , on the other hand, have lower specific heats. This means that their temperatures change more quickly. When the summer sun shines down on them, they quickly become hot.

Pc13 is a compound used to make pesticides. A reaction requires that 96.7 kg of pc13 be raised from 31.7 degrees celcius to 69.2
siniylev [52]

Answer:

Energy required = 3169.34 Joules.

Explanation:

The quantity of energy (Q) required can be determined by;

Q = mcΔθ

Where: m is the mass, c is the specific heat and Δθ is the change in temperature.

But, m = 96.7 kg, c = 0.874 J/(kg^{o} C), T_{2} = 69.2^{o} and T_{1} = 31.7^{o}.

So that,

Q = mc(T_{2} - T_{1})

   = 96.7 x 0.874 x (69.2^{o} - 31.7^{o})

  = 96.7 x 0.874 x 37.5

  = 3169.3425

Q = 3169.34

   = 3.2 KJ

The amount of energy required is 3169.34 Joules.

Problem 8 I estimate that the Gauss gun (a solenoid) is wound with 500 turns over a distance of 15cm with an average radius of 1
stellarik [79]

Answer:

Energy stored, U = 66.6 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Number of turns in the solenoid, n = 500

Radius of solenoid, r = 1.5 cm = 0.015 m

Distance, d = 15 cm = 0.15 m

Let U is the energy stored in the solenoid. Its formula is given by :

U=\dfrac{1}{2}LI^2

L is the self inductance of the solenoid

L=\mu_o N^2A d

N is the no of turns per unit length

L=\mu_o (n/d)^2A d

L=\dfrac{4\pi\cdot10^{-7}\cdot500^{2}\cdot\pi\cdot\left(0.015\right)^{2}}{0.15}

L = 0.00148 Henry

U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.00148\times 300^2

U = 66.6 J

Out of given options, the correct option for the energy stored in the solenoid is 70 J. So, the correct option is (a) "70 J".

What is the direction of a vector with an x component of -12 m and a y component of 21 m?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Direction= 119.74^\circ

Explanation:

<u>Displacement Vector</u>

The displacement, as every vector, has a magnitude r and a direction angle θ measured from the positive x-axis.

If we know the x-y components of the displacement, the magnitude and angle can be calculated by the equations:

r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}

\displaystyle \tan\theta=\frac{y}{x}

The coordinates of the given vector are x=-12 m, y=21 m, thus:

\displaystyle \tan\theta=\frac{21}{-12}=-1.75

\theta=tan^{-1}(-1.75)=-60.26^\circ

Since the vector lies in the second quadrant, we add 180° to find the correct direction:

\boxed{Direction=-60.26^\circ+180^\circ= 119.74^\circ}
