You then measure Polly's internal temperature to be 13oC, which is quite a drop from the normal human body temperature of 37oC.

And weighing Polly, you find her mass to be 60 kg. Now, subtracting the heat warming the water from the surrounding environment, we assume Polly gave up only 5000 kJ of thermal energy to warm the bath. With these numbers, determine Polly's specific heat in units J/(kgoC).

Answer:

The specific heat is 3.47222 J/kg°C.

Explanation:

Given that,

Temperature = 13°C

Temperature = 37°C

Mass = 60 Kg

Energy = 5000 J

We need to calculate the specific heat

Using formula of energy

Q= mc\Delta T

c =\dfrac{Q}{m\Delta T}

Put the value into the formula

c=\dfrac{5000}{60\times(37-13)}

c=3.47222\ J/kg^{\circ}C

Hence, The specific heat is 3.47222 J/kg°C.

What is the mass, in grams, of a pure iron cube that has a volume of 3.70cm cubed?
Arlecino [84]
To determine the amount in grams of the iron, we need data on the density of iron. From literature, it has a value of <span>p=7.9 g/cm3. We simply multiply the volume to the density. We do as follows:

mass = 3.70 (7.9) = 29.23 g Fe

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

A zero on the kelvin temperature scale is called “absolute zero.” <br> a. true <br> b. false
ryzh [129]
True.
A zero on the Kelvin temperature scale is also know as Absolute Zero because that is when the atom(s) have literally no kinetic energy.

A scientist suspends a spring from a force sensor. She then pulls on the spring causing the spring to stretch 1.0 cm. She record
Nadusha1986 [10]
This situation describes the Hooke's Law which states that "When an elastic object - such as a spring - is stretched, the increased length is called its extension. The extension of an elastic object is directly proportional to the force applied to it". The formula is <span>F = k × e , F for the force, k for spring constant expressed in N/m, e for extension in m. This equation works for as long the spring is not stretch too much because once it exceeded its limit, the spring will not return to its original length the moment the load is removed.</span>

How does the sun transmit energy from millions of miles away into the Earth system? 'Energy' and 'power' are often confused, but
Leona [35]

Answer:

  • Energy from sun travels to the earth by radiation of waves.
  • Energy is the capacity to do the work whereas power is the rate of doing work or the rate of energy transfer.
  • Energy always transforms from higher grade to a lower grade.

Positive feedback are not good when it disturbs the stability too much over a wide range.

No, negative feedback are not always bad because they enhance the stability of our system, resist the change in a system making it consistent and have a narrower range of variation.

Explanation:

The energy from the sun travels a huge distance in vacuum and atmosphere.

  • The solar energy travels to the earth in the form of electromagnetic radiations which do not require any medium of transmission and are capable of travelling in vacuum by the mode called radiation. In this mode the packets of energy get directly transmitted from the source to its surroundings. This packet of energy is called quanta.
  • Energy is the capacity to do work. Everything that we see and feel around us is some sort of energy. Every matter is the condensed form of energy the other forms that we cannot touch or feel is the wave form of energy. The wave form of energy stays in two form either stored in a mass or it is in transition. Now the concept of power arises form the energy in motion, power is defined as the rate of doing work or the rate of energy transfer. We usually use the term power for the energy in motion.
  • We can burn a gallon of fuel only once because it undergoes a chemical change and the chemical changes are mostly permanent in nature. There is a certain direction to which the energy can  flow spontaneously. When we burn the fuel then the stored chemical energy of the fuel gets converted into heat and light and the heat energy released during the combustion of the fuel is sufficient to further provide the heat of combustion of fuel.
  • Energy always transforms from high grade to the lower grade and the converse is not possible spontaneously.

Positive feedback are not good when it disturbs the stability too much over a wide range.

No, negative feedback are not always bad because they enhance the stability of our system, resist the change in a system making it consistent and have a narrower range of variation.
