False

Explanation:

Sound waves are longitudinal mechanical waves.

Mechanical waves are waves that requires a medium to propagate them.

A transverse wave is a wave that is propagated perpendicularly to its source.
An example is electromagnetic radiation.
A longitudinal wave is a wave that is directed parallel to their source.
Sound wave is a longitudinal wave.
It has series of rarefaction and compression along its travel path.
Rarefaction are areas of sparse particles.
Compression are areas with dense particles.

How much heat does a 100. g sample of copper absorb when its temperature increases by 30.0°C? The specific heat of copper is 0.3

erica [24]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf B. \ 1170 \ Joules }}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find how much heat a sample of copper absorbs when the temperature is increased.

Since we know the mass, temperature increase, and specific heat capacity, we can use the following formula to calculate heat.

$q= mc \Delta T$

The mass of the copper sample is 100 grams, the temperature is changed or increased by 30.0 degrees Celsius, and the specific heat of copper is 0.39 Joules per gram degrees Celsius.

m= 100 g
c= 0.39 J/g °C
ΔT= 30.0 °C

Substitute the values into the formula.

$q= (100 \ g )(0.39 \ J/g \textdegree C ) (30.0 \textdegree C )$

Multiply the first two values. Note that the units of grams cancel.

$q= 39 \ J/ \textdegree C (30.0 \textdegree C )$

Multiply again, this time the units of degrees Celsius cancel.

$q= 1170 \ J$

The copper sample absorbs <u>1170 Joules</u> of heat and <u>Choice B </u>is correct.

Make the following conversions. Show your calculations.

Natalija [7]

Answer:

1. 500 cm = 5 m

2. 1000 g = 1 kg

3. 455 L = 45, 500 cL

4. 0.865 m = 0.00865 m or 8.65 * 10^-3 n

5. 33.5 cm = 335 mm

6. 0.0198 m = 19800 micrometers

7. 57.65 cg = 5.765 * 10^8 nanograms

8. 1000 L = 1 kl

9. 99 degrees F = 37.222 degrees C

Explanation:

1. One meter = 100 centimeters

500 centimeters/ 100 centimeters = 5 meters

2. One kilogram = 1000 grams.

1000 grams/1000 grams = 1 kilogram

3. One Liter = 100 centiliters

455 liters * 100 centiliters = 45, 500 centiliters

4. One meter = 100 centimeters

0.865 centimeters/100 centimeters = 0.00865 meters

5. One centimeter = 10 millimeters

33.5 centimeters * 10 millimeters = 335 millimeters

6. One meter = 1.0 * 10^6 micrometers

0.0198 meters * 1 * 10^6 micrometers = 19800 micrometers.

7. One centigram = 1.0 * 10^7 nanograms

57.65 centigrams * 1 * 10^7 nanograms = 5.765 * 10^8 nanograms.

8. One kiloliter = 1000 L

1000 L/ 1000 L = 1 kiloliter

9. The formula for finding Celsius is 5/9(f - 32)

So 5/9(99 - 32) = x

5/9(67) = x

x = 335/9 or 37.222 degrees Celsius.
