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.

If the sun had twice the mace how would that affect the gravitational force of the sun
daser333 [38]

Answer:  Gravity is the force that keeps planets in orbit around the Sun. Gravity alone holds us to Earth's surface.

Planets have measurable properties, such as size, mass, density, and composition. A planet's size and mass determines its gravitational pull.

A planet's mass and size determines how strong its gravitational pull is.

Models can help us experiment with the motions of objects in space, which are determined by the gravitational pull between them.

Why can’t solids flow
Annette [7]

Answer:

basically they have too much mass in them

Explanation:

They are held tightly together by strong forces of attraction. They are held in fixed positions but they do vibrate. Because the particles don't move, solids have a definite shape and volume, and can't flow. Because the particles are already packed closely together, solids can't easily be compressed.

Which describes a high frequency wave?
SCORPION-xisa [38]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. A high frequency wave is a wave with a low level of energy and a high pitch. Frequency is the number of waves passing per second of time. Hope this answers the question.

Problem: A barbell consists of two small balls, each with mass m at the ends of a very low mass rod of length d. The barbell is
zepelin [54]

Answer:

mass of ball 1=m1

mass of ball 2=m2

velocity of ball=r1w1

velocity of ball 2=r2w2

Total angular momentum=m1*v1+m2*v2

but

v1=r1*w1

v2=r2*w2

Substitute values in above equation

Total angular momentum of the system=m1*r1*w1+m2*r2*w2
