Answer:
a = 3.61[m/s^2]
Explanation:
To find this acceleration we must remember newton's second law which tells us that the total sum of forces is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.
In this case we have:
![F = m*a\\\\m=mass = 3.6[kg]\\F = force = 13[N]\\13 = 3.6*a\\a = 3.61[m/s^2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F%20%3D%20m%2Aa%5C%5C%5C%5Cm%3Dmass%20%3D%203.6%5Bkg%5D%5C%5CF%20%3D%20force%20%3D%2013%5BN%5D%5C%5C13%20%3D%203.6%2Aa%5C%5Ca%20%3D%203.61%5Bm%2Fs%5E2%5D)
Answer:
1.84 kJ (kilojoules)
Explanation:
A specific heat of 0.46 J/g Cº means that it takes 0.46 Joules of energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram of iron by 1 Cº.
If we want to heat 50 g of iron from 20° C to 100° C, we can make the following calculation:
Heat = (specific heat)*(mass)*(temp change)
Heat = (0.46 J/g Cº)*(50g)*(100° C - 20° C)
[Note how the units cancel to yield just Joules]
Heat = 1840 Joules, or 1.84 kJ
[Note that the number is positive: Energy is added to the system. If we used cold iron to cool 50g of 100° C water, the temperature change would be (Final - Initial) or (20° C - 100° C). The number is -1.84 kJ: the negative means heat was removed from the system (the iron).
Answer:
Synthetic Materials are man-made; natural materials are only warmer than synthetic materials, if the natural material is obtained from an animal. Wool is warmer than any synthetic material available, but <em>polyester</em> (a synthetic material) can be warmer than cotton (a natural plant-based material).
