The amount of heat required is B) 150 J

Explanation:

The amount of heat energy required to increase the temperature of a substance is given by the equation:

Q=mC\Delta T

where:

m is the mass of the substance

C is the specific heat capacity of the substance

\Delta T is the change in temperature of the substance

For the sample of copper in this problem, we have:

m = 25 g (mass)

C = 0.39 J/gºC (specific heat capacity of copper)

\Delta T = 15^{\circ}C (change in temperature)

Substituting, we find:

Q=(25)(0.39)(15)=146 J

So, the closest answer is B) 150 J.

A basketball is held over head at a height of 2.4 m. The ball is lobbed to a teammate at 8 m/s at an angle of 40'. If the ball i
cupoosta [38]

Explanation:

since both the teammates are of the same height, their height won't matter. Because now the basketball won't cover any vertical distance.

We have to calculate its range the horizontal distance covered by it when tossed from one teammate to the other.

range can be calculated by the formula :-

\boxed{\mathfrak{range =  \frac{  u  {}^{2}   \sin 2\theta }{g} }}

u is the velocity during its take off and \theta is the angle at which its thrown

Given that

  • u = 8m/ s
  • \theta = 40°

calculating range using the above formula

= \frac{ {8}^{2} \sin2(40)  }{10}

=  \frac{64 \times  \sin(80) }{10}

value of sin 80 = 0. 985

=  \frac{64 \times 0.985}{10}

=  \frac{63.027}{10}

= 6.3027

Hence,

\mathfrak { \blue{the \: teammate \: is \:  \red{\underline{6.3027 \: meters} }\: away } }

For the PE formula, why is the height required for calculations? Why do we need to know the height in order to determine PE? *
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Answer in Explanation

Explanation:

Whenever we talk about the gravitational potential energy, it means the energy stored in a body due to its position in the gravitational field. Now, we know that in the gravitational field the work is only done when the body moves vertically. If the body moves horizontally on the same surface in the Earth's Gravitational Field, then the work done on the body is considered to be zero. Hence, the work done or the energy stored in the object while in the gravitational field is only possible if it moves vertically. This vertical distance is referred to as height. <u>This is the main reason why we require height in the P.E formula and calculations.</u>

The derivation of this formula is as follows:

Work = Force * Displacement

For gravitational potential energy:

Work = P.E

Force = Weight = mg

Displacement = Vertical Displacement = Height = h

Therefore,

P.E = mgh

Explain why the speed of light is lower than<br> 3.0 x 108 m/s as it goes through different media.
jekas [21]

Answer:

Sample Response: In a vacuum, there are no atoms or particles that interfere with the path of light. However, in other media, the speed of light is lower than 3.0 × 108 m/s because the wave is continuously absorbed and re-emitted by each atom in its path. The differences in speed are due to the composition of the medium and the density of the particles in the medium.
