Answer:

7800 J

Explanation:

Heat needed = mass of copper x specific heat of copper x change in temperature  

Change in temperature = 30ºC - 20ºC = 10ºC

Specific heat of copper = 390 J/kgºC

Mass of copper = 2 Kg

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get –  

Heat needed = 2 Kg x 390 J/kgºC x 10ºC

= 7800 J

Bad White [126]

Answer: 5.96m/s

Explanation:

Given the following :

Mass of car (m) = 1500kg

Velocity (V) = 5.25m/s

Forward force of engine = 1250N

Diatance moved = 4.8m

Final Velocity =?

Final kinetic energy = Initial kinetic energy + work done by engine

Initial kinetic energy = 0.5 × mass × velocity^2

Initial kinetic energy = 0.5 × 1500 × 5.25^2

Initial kinetic energy = 20671.875 J

Work done by engine = Force × distance

Work done by engine = 1250 × 4.8 = 6000J

Final kinetic energy = (20671.875 + 6000) J

= 26671.875 J

From kinetic energy = 0.5mv^2

26671.875 = 1/2 × 1500 × v^2

53343.75 = 1500v^2

v^2 = 35.5625

v = sqrt(35.5625)

v = 5.96m/s

An astronomy student, for her PhD, really needs to estimate the age of a cluster of stars. Which of the following would be part
LiRa [457]

Answer:

A. plot an H-R diagram for the stars in the cluster.

Explanation:

A star cluster can be defined as a constellation of stars, due to gravitational force, which has the same origin.

The astronomy student would have to plot an H-R diagram for the stars in the cluster and determine the age of the cluster by observing the turn-off point. The turn-off is majorly as a result of gradual depletion of the source of energy of the star. Thus, it projects off the constellation.

A rocket is moving at 1/4 the speed of light relative to Earth. At the center of this rocket a light suddenly flashes. To an obs
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

B. the light will reach the front of the rocket at the same instant that it reaches the back of the rocket.

Explanation:

To an observer at rest in the rocket who can't see either sides of the rocket, the speed of the light is constant which means the distance to the front or the back is same and would appear to reach the rocket at the same time.

Although from the point of view of the person on the earth, the front of the rocket is travelling in opposite direction of the light while the back of the rocket is moving closer to the light. This means that the distance travelled by the light going forward will be longer going backwards. And since the speed of light is constant in both directions, the light will reach the back of the rocket before it reaches the front  for the observer on the earth.
