The amount of energy needed is 2093 J

Explanation:

The amount of energy needed to increase the temperature of a substance by $\Delta T$ is given by the equation

$Q=mC\Delta T$

where

m is the mass of the substance

C is its specific heat capacity

$\Delta T$ is the increase in temperature

For the water in this problem, we have

m = 50.0 g = 0.050 kg

$C=4186 J/g^{\circ}C$ (specific heat capacity of water)

$\Delta T=10.0^{\circ}C$

Therefore, the amount of energy needed is

$Q=(0.050)(4186)(10)=2093 J$

One end of a rope is tied to the handle of a horizontally-oriented and uniform door. a force f is applied to the other end of th

Vlada [557]

For rotational equilibrium of the door we can say that torque due to weight of the door must be counter balanced by the torque of external force

$F\times L = mg \times \frac{L}{2}$

here weight will act at mid point of door so its distance is half of the total distance where force is applied

here we know that

$mg = 145 N$

now we will have

$F = \frac{mg}{2}$

$F = \frac{145}{2} = 72.5 N$

so our applied force is 72.5 N

A square sheet of rubber has sides that are 20 cm long. What is the area of the square of rubber in cm squared?

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

400cm^2

Explanation:

sides are 20cm long Area for a square is a squared

since all the lides are of equal length you can just choose one side.

20squared is 400

20 x 20 = 400cm squared

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

I believe it's A.)

Explanation:

Although light comes into our atmosphere through refraction, it reaches our eyes only through reflection from objects. So when light rays reflect off an object and enter the eyes through the cornea you can then see that object.

By what factors does the speed of the elctron exceed that of the proton?

____ [38]

Answer:

» An electron is lighter than a proton.

explanation:

${ = \: \sf{an \: electron \: has \: formula \: \: }}{ \bf{ {}^{0}_{ - 1}e }}$

hence it's mass number is zero

${ = \: \sf{an \: electron \: is \: helium \: particle \: \: }}{ \bf{ {}^{4} _{2}He }}$

hence it's mass number is 4

Therefore, proton is heavier than electron

» An electron has a small charge magnitude than a proton.

Explanation:

An electron has charge of -1 while proton has charge of +2, therefore electron is less deflected by any energetic fields than a proton
