Most of the energy consumed in the U.S. is stored in which form of energy

A 2kg block of which material would require 450 joules of thermal energy to increase its temperature by 1 degree Celsius?

12345 [234]

The block is made of A) Tin, as its specific heat capacity is $0.225 J/(g^{\circ}C)$

Explanation:

When an amount of energy Q is supplied to a sample of material of mass m, the temperature of the material increases by $\Delta T$ , according to the following equation :

$Q=mC_s \Delta T$

where $C_s$ is the specific heat capacity of the material.

In this problem, we have:

m = 2 kg = 2000 g is the mass of the unknown material

$Q = 450 J$ is the amount of energy supplied to the block

$\Delta T = 1^{\circ}C$ is the change in temperature of the material

Solving the equation for $C_s$ , we can find the specific heat capacity of the unknown sample:

$C_s = \frac{Q}{m \Delta T}=\frac{450}{(2000)(1)}=0.225 J/(g^{\circ}C)$

And by comparing with tabular values, we can find that this value is approximately the specific heat capacity of tin.

a cylinder has a radius of 2.1cm and a length of 8.8cm .total charge 6.1 x 10^-7C is distributed uniformly throughout. the volum

7nadin3 [17]

The answer for the following problem is explained below.

Therefore the volume charge density of a substance (ρ) is 0.04 × $10^{-1}$ C.

Explanation:

Given:

radius (r) =2.1 cm = 2.1 × $10^{-2}$ m

height (h) =8.8 cm = 8.8 × $10^{-2}$ m

total charge (q) =6.1× $10^{-7}$ C

To solve:

volume charge density (ρ)

We know;

ρ =q ÷ v

volume of cylinder = π ×r × r × h

volume of cylinder =3.14 × 2.1 × 2.1 × $10^{-4}$ × 8.8 × $10^{-2}$

volume of cylinder (v) = 122.23 × $10^{-6}$

ρ =q ÷ v

ρ = 6.1× $10^{-7}$ ÷ 122.23 × $10^{-6}$

ρ = 0.04 × $10^{-1}$ C

Therefore the volume charge density of a substance (ρ) is 0.04 × $10^{-1}$ C.

A cubical block of wood, 10.0 cm on a side, floats at the interface between oil and water with its lower surface 1.50 cm below t

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

the gauge pressure at the upper face of the block is 116 Pa

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

A cubical block of wood, 10.0 cm on a side.

height h = 1.50 cm = ( 1.50 × ( 1 / 100 ) ) m = 0.0150 m

density ρ = 790 kg/m³

Using expression for the gauged pressure;

p-p₀ = ρgh

where, p₀ is atmospheric pressure, ρ is the density of the substance, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the depth of the fluid.

we know that, acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s²

so we substitute

p-p₀ = 790 kg/m³gh × 9.8 m/s² × 0.0150 m

= 116.13 ≈ 116 Pa

Therefore, the gauge pressure at the upper face of the block is 116 Pa

The total kinetic energy of two cars is measured before and after they crash into each other. The total kinetic energy of the tw

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Option B, Some of the cars' kinetic energy was converted to sound and heat energy.

Explanation:

In an elastic collision, no energy is lost during and after collision. Thus, it can be said that in an elastic collision both momentum and kinetic energy remains conserved.

While in non-elastic collision, kinetic energy of the system is lost. However, the momentum of the system is conserved. Generally, during and after collision some of the kinetic energy is lost as thermal energy, sound energy etc.

Hence, option B is correct
