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).

Marissaâs car accelerates uniformly at a rate of +2.60 m/s². How long does it take for Marissaâs car to accelerate from a speed
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

The time taken by the car to accelerate from a speed of 24.6 m/s to a speed of 26.8 m/s is 0.84 seconds.

Explanation:

Given that,

Acceleration of the car, a=+2.6\ m/s^2

Initial speed of the car, u = 24.6 m/s

Final speed of the car, v = 26.8 m/s

We need to find the time taken by the car to accelerate from a speed of 24.6 m/s to a speed of 26.8 m/s. The acceleration of an object is given by :

t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}

t=\dfrac{(26.8-24.6)\ m/s}{2.6\ s}

t = 0.84 seconds

So, the time taken by the car to accelerate from a speed of 24.6 m/s to a speed of 26.8 m/s is 0.84 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

The radiations detected by Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson
were the original heat from the Big Bang.

Today, we call those waves the "Cosmic Microwave Background".

I'm not sure, but I think those guys were awarded a Nobel Prize in Physics
for that discovery.

What conclusions can you draw about the connection between the Sun’s altitude and the latitude of the observer on seasonal chang
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Altitude of the Sun and the latitude position on the earth play an important role in the season change on the earth.

When the altitude of the sun is high then the average temperature of the earth is higher because the luminous intensity of the sun rays is higher due to the focusing of high energy sun rays over a small area.

But when the sun is at higher altitudes we receive less denser rays of the sun and hence we have less heat on the earth on an average.

  • But despite of the altitude some places on the earth have distinct temperature than the other place at the same time of the year. This is due to their latitudinal location. The places near the equator are warmer most of the times throughout the year because they receive the most direct rays while the poles receive slanting rays and hence are colder even in summer when the earth is at lower altitudes.

About how much longer can the Sun continue to generate energy by nuclear reactions in its core?
QveST [7]

Answer: 5billion years

Explanation: The sun produces energy through radioactive fusion reaction.

Nebula theory states that the gaseous particles of the Earth collapsed as a result of its own gravity which continuously lead to fusion reaction for the production of nuclear energy.

The Core of the Sun is that area up to 25% from the radius of the sun,here the pressure here range up to 250million atmosphere containing mainly hydrogen which gets converted in Helium molecule. The core is the center for energy production accounting for more than 98%, nuclear energy is transmitted at about 4.3million metric tons per second.
