The specific heat of water is 4.2 J/g • °C. How much heat is required to raise the temperature of 100 g of water by 5°C? *

Physics

Answer:

2100 J

Explanation:

The heat required to increase the temperature of a substance is given by

Q=mC\Delta T

where

m is the mass of the substance

C is its specific heat capacity

\Delta T is its change in temperature

For the water in this problem, we have:

m = 100 g is its mass

C = 4.2 J/g • °C is the specific heat capacity

\Delta T=5^{\circ}C is the increase in temperature

So, the amount of heat needed is:

Q=(100)(4.2)(5)=2100 J

Collect information about working of Geyser and prepare a report
ikadub [295]
A geyser is actually a devise that coverts electrical energy into heat energy for heating up water. The heating element that is inside the geyser actually gets heated up and then in turn it heats the water in contact with it within the geyser. There is also a thermostat device within the geyser that cuts off the heating when the water temperature reaches the desired level. This helps in stopping of electrical energy loss. One inlet brings in cold water while another outlet gets rid of the hot water. When the temperature of the water falls below the desired level the heating is again started by the thermostat.

You are performing an experiment that requires the highest possible energy density in the interior of a very long solenoid. Whic
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

b. increasing the number of turns per unit length on the solenoid

e. increasing the current in the solenoid

Explanation:

As we know that energy density depends on the strength of the magnetic field. The magnetic field strength depends on the no of turns of the solenoid and the current passing through it. The greater the number of turns per unit length, greater the current passing through it, more stronger the magnetic field is. As

B = μ₀nI

n = no of turns

I = current through the wire

So the right options are

b. increasing the number of turns per unit length on the solenoid

e. increasing the current in the solenoid

A 6.00-μf parallel-plate capacitor has charges of 40.0 μc on its plates. how much potential energy is stored in this capacitor?
dedylja [7]

Thew energy stored in a capacitor of capacitance C and voltage between the plates V is

E=\frac{1}{2} CV^2=\frac{1}{2C} Q^2.

Substituting numerical value

E=\frac{1}{2*6*10^{-6}} (40*10^{-6})^2\\ E=133.33\; \mu J

A stack of 55 business cards is 1.85 cm tall. Use this information to determine the thickness of one business
Sindrei [870]
To find the answer, take 55 and divide it by 1.85 to get the thickness of one card. In this case the answer would be 29.72973 cm. each.
