Answer:

Q (heat) = S * m * (T2 - T1)  where Q is heat gained (loss), S the specific heat capacity of the substance and T2, T1 are the final and initial temps

Q = .215 cal  / (g deg C) * 5 g * (20 - 80) deg C = -64.5 cal

Since the question specifies the heat emitted, then  64.5 cal is the

heat emitted (loss).

Discuss why the article says the fact that we’re in our universe complicates our understanding of the expansion of the universe.
MArishka [77]
<span>Because of our perception of the universe from inside the universe, we are unable to see how and towards what the universe is expanding. Also, our understanding of it is further complicated because we are moving as part of the expansion, thus distorting our perception of it.</span>

Which of the following quantities is inversely proportional to the gravitational pull between two objects?
Contact [7]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces

I hope this helps a little bit

A pendulum has 711 J of potential energy at the highest point of its swing. How much kinetic energy will it have at the bottom o
Anika [276]
According to law of conservation of energy, 
<span>Energy can neither be constructed nor be destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.
</span>
<span>At the highest point of the pendulum(point b), pendulum is associated with potential energy only and no kinetic energy.
</span><span>Therefore total energy at point b = potential energy = 711 J.... i
</span>
<span>At the bottom most point(point a), pendulum is associated only with kinetic energy and no potential energy.
</span>Therefore total energy at point a = kinetic energy ---- ii
<span>From i and ii,
</span>Kinetic energy = potential energy = 711 J.(Conserving energy)

Hence kinetic energy at the bottom most point is 711 J.
Hope this helps!!
