Why is it a good idea to start with room temperature water in the calorimeter?

Physics

Explanation:

It is a good idea to start with room temperature water in the calorimeter because the room temperature water helps to determine the heating up/cooling down because of the environment as the experiment takes place. Because the calorimeter heat is the same as the heat of the water.

Answer:

it a good idea to have room temperature water in calorimeter because it has a high specific heat it is non-flammable, it can be measured easily, it is affordable and it can retain the heat for longer time.

Explanation:

For several reasons water at room temperature is used in the calorimeter.

  • High Specific Heat

It can store high amount of heat with low rise in temperature. It can store heat for longer time which allows the material in the calorimeter to absorb that heat.

  • High range of Freezing and Boiling point

It has a huge rage between its freezing point and its boiling point and thus we  can measure a large range of temperature without its phase change.

  • Abundance

Water is a pure compound available in abundance with ease.

  • Definition

According to the definition, one calorie is the amount of energy required by one gram of water to raise its temperature by one degree Celsius. Therefore water plays a vital role in calorie measurement.

Nuclear fusion has not yet been harnessed as an energy source because
maksim [4K]

Before getting an answer for it first we have to understand nuclear fusion.

Nuclear fusion is a thermo-nuclear reaction in which two  light unstable nuclei will form a heavy stable nuclei. In this process there will be some mass defect which will be converted into energy as per Einstein's mass energy equivalence theorem.

The theorem is stated as E = mc^{2} where c is the velocity of light and m is the mass converted into energy.

One take an example of fusion in sun where 4 hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium nucleus which are explained below-

                                                      H_{1}^{1}+H_{1} ^{1} =H_{1} ^{2} +e_{+1} ^{0} +energy

                                                      H_{1} ^{2} +H_{1} ^{1} =He_{2} ^{3} +energy

                                                      He_{2} ^{3}+H_{1} ^{1} =He_{2} ^{4} +e_{+1} ^{0} +energy

                                                       -----------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                        4H_{1} ^{1} = He_{2} ^{4} +2e_{+1} ^{0} +energy

Here e_{+1} ^{0} is the positron.

In this process very high temperature is needed which is approximately equal to the temperature of the sun i.e 10^{6} K

Such temperature is very difficult to initiate the reaction on the earth surface. It should be carried out in an sustainable way also .Otherwise It will cause nuclear hazards.

A girl and boy pull in opposite directions on a stuffed animal. The girl exerts a force of 3.5 N. The mass of the stuffed animal
givi [52]
I'm gonna have to assume the girl is on the right side and boy on left.
The net force is the sum of all forces on an object (includes negatives).
Let's say the force of the boy is variable <em>b</em>.  Use the formula F = ma.

<em>b </em>+ 3.5 = 0.2(2.5)

This is now simple algebra.  Solve to get that <em />the boty is exerting a force of -3N to the left.

If the mass of a material is 87 grams and the volume of the material is 14 cm3, what would the density of the material be?
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

6.214g/cm³

Explanation:

The question is on density of a material

Density=mass/volume

Given, mass=87grams   and volume= 14 cm³  density=?

Density=m/v 87/14 =6.214g/cm³
